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.
