Politeness Is a sort of lubricant which helps the wheels of social and business life to revolve smoothly. What some people call principle is oftimes nothing but a deep rooted opinion or a prejudice. In their case being sticklers for principle Is only another name for sticklers for a prejudiced opinion. There seems to -be no particular reason why North Pole disco ve re ru should submit their proofs to any one. Each of them can be a mil lionaire In a short time if he at tends strictly to the lecturing and writing business. The public care nothing about proofs, what they want to see is the flag nailers. The fact that people are often affected by their environments is generally admitted. But it is not so generally ' recognized that it is possible for people to affect their environments. A sunny smile, hope fulness, tact and a resolute purpose can change to a wonderful extent the most unfavorable surroundings. Trinity College, N. C. Is becoming relatively as much indebted to Mr. Duke, of the tobacco and cigarette trust, as the Unive.risty of Chicago is to Mr. Rockefeller of the Standard Qil Company. Wonder if the pro fessors of Trinity College ever tells the boys that tho use of tobacco and; cigarettes are injurious to health. One man devotes his spare mo ments to improving'his mind that he may seoure a better position, anoth er man uses his spare moments in teaching a dog tricks. Ultimately \ both men gain their end. but the ?difference between them is that one has made a success of himself while the other has made a success of his dog. To the fanfare of trumpets, the skirl of bagpipes and much pomp .generally a rich American girl was recently married in the Scottish high lands to the pretender to a small European throne. Apparently the length of the groom's name and title was offset by the shortness of his purse, for money lenders are now suing him for money advanced on the strength of. his matrimonial pros pects. Of course the girl wHl pay the debts. That Is usually one of the conditions for marrying a foreign title. That indomitable spirit that will not give up. but perseveres until toe, goal is reached, Is weH seen in the case of Robert B. Peary. Time after time he attempted to reach the polo and came back unsuccessful. But undaunted he tried again and suc cess crowned his efforts. There is a lesson in this for the man who In business or in the pursuit of some object, is occasionally "up against it.'' Many a man has failed when the goal was almost in sight be cause ho lacked in persistency and courage. America spells "opportunity." This | has been seen over and over again in the numbor of its citizens who have rison from humble ranks to] hfgh positions of trust and respon sibility. Tho career of the late Qov. M. B. M^Sweeney. left fatherless at an early age, meeting and over coming uitticultles, that would have daunted many another, rising step by step until at last he became the chief executive of a groat common wealth, and honored by all, is fresh in our mind. Such lives as his are an inspiration. The new Irish land act, which has Just passed the British house of com mons by the doclslve vote of 174 to 31, is a radical measure and prom ises to bo of groat benefit to tho IHsh peasantry In enabling them through government aid to secure land at fair cost Vom the Irish lind owners. Of course It has yet to run the gauntlet of the house of lords, who may be inclined to do their best or worst to multilate it. But Just now the lords are not in good order and they may well hesi tate to take a step that would cer tainly intensify public hostility against them. Experts are continually coining c iphemistlc phrases to replace trsrse fid moro expressive, words. This is freely done when the moral and busi ness delinquencies of rich people are concerned. But the new chief of police of Chicago shows in this respect a delicate, consideration for 3ome of the rank and Ale of his force It seems that some of them have drunk tho brandy which is found In the medicine case of each patrol wagon. Chief Stewart does not say the men took it, but he has. ordered ammonia to be substituted for brandy on the ground that "brandy evapo rates too rapidly." Right Cultivation Needed. Alarmists tell us that in time the population of thlB world will be so great that there will not be food enough to sustain it. That day, even if it should comes is so far in the .dialtance ythat 'the /prediction does not worry people. On the other hand there are optimists who assure ub that the "food supply will always be abundant. Probably the truth lies between I the two statements. If imperfect [methods of cultivation are followed so that the soil is worn out it will not take long to get face to face with starvation. Some ancient coun tries have been ruined by such meth ods and today in our own land there are large tracts of worn out soil, ' made so by bad firming. j But where good farming Is follow i' ed the soli retains and even Increases its fertility. In England centuries of bad farming so impoverished the ? soil that^ 200 years ago the yield I of wheat was but eight bushels to I the acre. Improved farming has now brought the yield up to thirty-two bushels. Here in our own land better cul tivation, the irrigation of the semi arid soils of the wee. and the drain ing of swamp lands north and south will result in such an.increased pro ductivity of the land that the fear of food shortage will cease and the farmers, orchardists and stockraisers receive greater returns for their la bor. It Must Go. The liquor business continues to receive hard blows and they are given from all directions. The Southern States keep cu passing pro hibition laws or In strengthening those already in exlstance. In other States, county and other local option laws are also making themselves felt. The result of It all is a diminished consumption of liquor as the decreas ed internal revenue returns clearly show. The same story comes from other lands. The revenue from liquor has dropped considerably In Great Britain anw now an interest ing fact comes from Germany. That country has increased largely the tax on beer. The brewers and retail sellers have sought to recoup them selves by raising the price, and here is the result in Kiel. In the govern ment dockyard of that city the 8, 000 workmen were accustomed to drink 12,000 bottles of beer every day. These workmen resented the increased tax and turned to milk, coffee and mineral waters and as one result the 12,000 dally bottles of "beer J have fallen to 120. Another result Is better work and far less loss of I time by the workmen. Certain Reforms Needed. The money cost of the destruction of property through carelessness or wastefulness ?in this country amounts to many hundreds of millions of dol lars every year. But great as that is the money value of the loss of health, limb and life, for which this carelessness and wastefulness are re sponsible is far greater. In large cities the smoke and soot cause ill health and disease and lessen the ahility to work, and that means pov erty for thousands. Our factories, mines and railroads take a yearly toll of life and limb that is appall ing. That the railroads alone last year paid over fifty-six millions of dollars for personal injuries and damages will give one a faint idea at least of the havoc made. The one remedy for wastefulness 1b judicious economy, and that for personal in juries is a greater regard for hu man life. We need reform along the lines above indicated, and the man .who c^n.successfully inaugurate them w.111 be: hailed'as a public benefactor. They Are Right Here. Not unoften the public pulse thrills at the story of some heroic deed per formed under trying circumstances. Ail such acts have a value beyond the Immediate one, for they increase our faith In man and are an incentive to self-denying sacrifice. But let us not forget In paying well deserved honor to such heroes that in almost every community people are leading heroic lives every day. Newspapers do not mention them, no Carnegie modal 1b bestowed upon them, yet none the less patiently, unobtrusive ly, courageously, in the midst of well nigh crushing conditions of domes Uce trials, business difficulties or physical disability they lead the hero life, and though their experience may be unrecognized by men the record ing angels take note of all. We have 3omo of those heroes right here in our countv. men and women, but they are unknown to fame, but they are none tho less heroes. Autumn Thoughts. Purple asters, golden rod and fall ing leaves remind us that autumn has come. How strangely yet how nat urally are we affected by each sea son as It comes. The sobering, ret rospective effect upon us of autumn is vastly different from the bouyant and prospective influence of the springtime. The dying leaves and flowers touched by the early frost, the evidence all around us of decay, and that the evening of the year has come are- in fitting accord with the evening of every human life. But autumn has also a beauty of its own in the leaves aflame with scarlet and gold, the ruddy fruit upou the trees and the genial sunshine and soft hazy atmosphere. In like manner the evening of every life should nave a beauty of Its own?a beauty which iu Its richness has been wrought out by the experience and trueness of tho preceding years. No Need for Alarm. Notwithstanding the comfortable assurance that Halley's comet, which Is traveling through space at a break neck speed, will not come nearer to earth than IS.000,000 miles there are lots of people who are already worrying themselves over It. They fear that we shall be smothered with star dust or that the comet, with vicious action of its tail, will sweep all the people off the earth as easily as a woman sweeps the crumbs off a table. To know that no comet or j other celestial body has ever done the slightest harm to our world ought to calm their fears, but It will not. It is really astonishing how many people do seem to enjoy making themselves miserable. They Didn't Have to Change. During the years In which our pure food laws have been put into effect there has been a great hurrying and scurrying on the part of the food man ufacturers to change their methods to make thern conform to the law. The Quaker Oats Company is a con spicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal food. It is so cheap that any one can af ford it and so nourishing that every one needs it. The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other points Where food values were tested is that Quaker Oats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for adding vigor and endur ance of muscle and brain.
