ORO WINO OLD.
(Read hy Gen. King nt a reunion of j
Civil War Veterans.)
A little moro tired at dosi; of doy.
A IWtle lena anxious to have our way.
A little less ready to srold and blame.
A little moro care for a bro*lier's
name;
And so wo aro nearing tho Journey'n
end
Where time and oternlty meet and
blend.
A little less caro for bonds and gold.
A tittlo more zest for the days of old,
A broader view and a saner mind.
And a little- moro love for all man
hind;
A little loan timo on earth nt stny.
And HO wc aro faring ndown the way.
A little more love for tho friends of
youth,
A lilllo less zeal for "established"
. truth,
A little more charity lu our view?,
A little less thirst for thc dnlly nowa;
And so we aro folding our tent? away
And passing in silence at <:losc of |
. d.*Y'
A little moro leisure tn Blt ano dream
A little moro real unseen things seen, j
A little more near to those ahead.
With. Visions of those long-loved and
-dead,

FORD'S VIEW ON LABOR,
It ls a fact significant of the mime
uluoa growth of the motor car Indus
try that*-the . moat prominent figure
today in tthc. C. S. government? ef
forts to reconcile capital and labor
should be a motor car manufacturer.
That man Is Henry Ford of Detroit.
And the testimony which ho recently
gave lo the Federal ludtistri.il Com
mission, was easily the moat Impres
sing and convlcing that has been of
fered. A burst of applause r.jrept
through 'the aldirmanlc chamber in
thc old New York city hall when Mr.
Ford, testifying, said quietly: "We
Will guarantee-to take every man out
of Sing Sing and make a man or
him."
In explaining tito purposes and tho
actual resulta .of the stupendous Ford
Profit-Sharing Plan Mr. Ford said.
"If employers ot labor have a gen
uine Interest Sn the linnjrovoment of
the condition of labor, no conditions
that are irksome or distasteful will
be laid upon tho men." This ls even
more to the point: "Wo cannot ex
pect a man to give Us hts best efforts
when, he ls'in dobt and has not enough
to keep his family on.4^
Naturally, some of the representa
tives of capital and large employers
present al the session-were curious
to know whether thia distribution In
one year ot shoot $10.000,000 of Ford
profits, "really paid or' not."
Mr. Ford Smiled and said: "I don't
know how you would figure that out;
however, there bas been an lacrease
of between 16 and 20 per cent ef
ficiency sine the Inauguration of tho
$5-a-day minimum wage, and the pro
fit-sharing plan.?' '
it ls Interesting to see how that
i ntimate of Kn- increased efficiency,
"between IS and liO per cent," is
linnie ?nit in tin- production of Ford
run?. Lani year the Ford Motor foin
puny manufactured and delivered ZA'J,

prollla. To reach the 300,000 mark
means au Increase of a bou I 20 per

Ford production for August. Septem
ber, October und November showed
an Increase of josi about 100 per
cent, over the Correspond I og period of
last year. In other words. Ford

Huit Kurd efficiency-under one year

lt F A I, MORALITY.
"Provincialism Is not morality,"
says Dr. Frank Crane, "many con
HCicnttouu people feel that whatever
is different in immoral.
"To many un honest villager and
farmer tho city is a sink of Iniquity.
The unconscious ground for thia con
viction ls simply that so ninny thing.;
aro done lu cities to which tho rtirni
dweller is not used.
"1 lind a very common expression
of opinion among those of any na
tion, section or race, that those of nn
other nre unite loose in morals. The
English think Kn nt h uro libertines,
and the french think English nre hy
pocrites. Methodists* imagine shock
ing Illings of Rom?n Catholics, nm!
the latter can curdle your blood with
ICCOtmta Ot tho vileness of Methodists.
A church member in Kansas lookn
upon a (ierman sipping beer to music
in a gurden as on the tohogban slid':
to moral wreckage.
"I would define real morality ns that
principle In a soul which respects Hie
sanctities of lire, maintains loyalty In
love, seeks and enjoys useful dally
work suhJcctH all desires to judgment,
subordinates personal to altruistic,
motives, abhors dirt, ls stern toward
self, and lenient towards others.
Wherever you lind a principle work
ing these works In a man, you have
found morality, whether the man be

MONROE AM? HIS DOCTRINE.
Wednesday was the 157th anniver
sary of tho birth of the only presi
dent of tho United States * ho" car
ried through life tho scars nf wounds
received during the struggle for in
dependence. Ho. In a man known to
tho present generation chiefly
through hlH ''doctrine." Having sahl
thus ranch, it is almost needless lo
add that the man was James Monroe.
It ls evident that liad he not writ
ten the famous message on l>eceniber
?.. lRUlt. wnrning lOuropcnn powers
that America would not tolerate the
further extension of their colonial
powers in America, his name would
mean much less to us than it does.
In reality the doctrino was lens lils
own than that of his distinguished
advisors, but it has given him a kind
of immortality. The Monroe Dor
trine han changea its meaning with
the passing of tito years and lt may
he modified In thc future, hut lt ls the
greatest single Instance of an un
written lnw. American? who lind lt
difficult to understand how Great
Drltnln can exist without a written
constitution may gain enlightenment
hy considering the unceasing potency
and Importance of a principio that is
nowhere written in a treaty or stat
ute books or as a decision of any
court Nevertheless it ls one Of the
biggest forces In thc Western hemi
sphere, although its founder might
not always be ablo to recognize lt in
lt? modern application.-Charlotte

week's operations of th.' stock ex

Expansion and Prosperity.
(Thc New Yotkj Herald.)
The American people .'for eight
years-ever ni?ee 1907-bavo been
economizing aqd wearing'-out their
old clothes.
They are now going, to- buy some
now garments and incidentally also,
as shown by the brilliant success of
the $5.000,000 auction sale of carpets
and rugs in this city within the last
few days-some new floor coverings
and other "fixln's."
When a hundred millions ot popu
lation stop hoarding and begin to
release their savings and spend
money there ts going to be stimula
tion and expansion tn all directions.
The Western farmer has been en
riched by the foreign demand for his
cereals at ccrslstcntly record-break
ing high prices, and tho (Southern
cotton producer, who but a tow
months ago expected to bc ruined by
thc absence nf European markets for
his staple is now getting remunera
tive prices.
Incidents that aro chronicled from
day to day show how the wheel.; of
traffic, industry nn* trade are begin
ning to revolve moro quickly. The
Pennsylvania railroad in ,? one week
puta at work 5.000 theretofore idle

WELDON RING SAYS CON
TRARY BELIEF CAUSED
BY MISINFORMATION
FOREIGN REGISTRY
Of Merchant Ships Made Radi
cal ?linncrr>!t ? Neces
sary.
PHILADELPHIA, May L-Welding
l'i?ng. In an address before the Amer
ican Academy or Political and Social
Science, asserted today that, not
withstanding g?nerai misinformation
to tho contrary, there Is now and has
been available practically ever since
tho war begun, ample loading ton
nage for shipping their wares from
American markets to South. America.
Most of these vessels were under for
olgn registry, however, he said, and
radical changes would have to be
made in American laws before the
United Slates could take Its place
among thc leading nations of thc sea.
.Mr. King said in part:
"A wrong impression lias been
throughout the United States, that
we do not have sufficient communi
cation with all Ute various countries
throughout South America and Cen
tral America. To thone In the chip
ping trade, lt is hardly n ecos sar to
state that since tho war commenced
there has scarcely been a period
when there was not ample tonnage
londingTor the requirements of
shippers.
"It ls. however, humiliating to
think thal tho United States, prob
ably the most advanced country in
tho world In thc manufacture and
value o fits, articles must depend
upon foreign tonnage to carry its
products throughout the world. When
the chango will come is difficult to
predict, but it is certain thal but lit
tle progress wil' bc made In building
up a merchant marine under the
Stars and Stripes until we get more
intelligent and broader legislation at
Washington than has been served to
us during recent years. Very many
plana have been suggested, numerous
bills have boen introduced in con
gress and debates have been long and
ardous, and without any, or at least
very little, result and benefit.
"The nearest approach to anything
hencucial was the act passed last Au
gust by congress, which for a brief
period permits the purchase of for
eign built vessels and their transfer
to the United States flag, and their
operations also for a limited period,
without many of the existing draw
backs ot our navigation laws. Under
this act, up to the present time. 13?
steamers have been transferred from
foreign to United States flag. Unfor
tunately Just aa congress closed' it
paaaed a bill generally known as the
"seaman's bill.' when contained nu
merous conditions that add to the al
ready too heavily hardened American
shipping. How thu difficulty is M
be overcome is a problem very dif
ficult to solve, but it ls certain to be
one that must come to" the front .very
largely In tho immediate futuro."

WASHINGTON. Muy 1.-With Yel

that road travel will greatly increase

ity this summer.
In his recently Issued order. Sec- j
rctary of the Interior 1-ane has ac
centuated a wide-awake policy in the !
direction of making it possible for
Americans to "See America First."
While it is true that State and local
automobile clubs and commercial
bodies promptly followed thc sugges
tion of President John A-, Wilson of
the American Automobile association,
that they make clear to tho depart
ment of thc interior the quito general
desire for the admission of motor
vehicles into Yellowstone Park, lt
must not be iorgollen- that previous
secretaries of thc interior had been
similarly petitioned with very intan
gible results.
But iSecretary Lane took a real In
terost in thc matter and referred lt to
his competent assistant, Stephen .T.
Mather, for thorough Investigation
and decision. Familiar with the
western country though the owner ot
a farm in Connecticut, Mr. Mather
promptly proceeded to Ute subject
and decided upon the pl ms necessary
to admit of the Introduction of tho
modern form of roads transportation.
In the official bulletin from Secre
tary Lane reference ls made to thc
necessity of new telephone lines,
cheeking stations, and Imposing reg
ulations which will insure a safe use
of park roads by motor cars aa well
as by horse-drawn vehicles. Thia
extract from the official communica
tion concisely slzsi, up the situation.
"Plans carefully worked out by of
ficials of the interior department,
with the cooperation of the army of
ficers, at Ute park, call for a schedule
which will keep the automobile trai
ne entirely Independent of the stage
traffic. All the regular traffic will
