The world takes no stock in the man who plunders his fellowman six days in the week and goes to? church on the seventh day to worship God. Now is the time when.mBn who cut across laws and corners of streets to save i. moment of time will sit for hours in a blazing sun to watch two nines pliy the national game. (Marriage would not so often prove a failuro if there was more of com radeshir. between husband and wife. The .lack of this breeds coldness and unsympathetic attitude and too of ten It results in divorce or sepration. And yet there are no signs that the decision against the Standard Oil has affected the good standing of John D Rockefeller's church mem bership. Neither is there any indi cation of a lowering of the price of kerosene.' , u ,: It Is a good sign when influential -criminals, or. criminals with influen tial friends, are treated just like <<ther; criminals. It helps to confirm che (belief that in practise as well as theory, the law s no respector of ?persons. These are the days when the lazy farmer finds, all manners of fault with the weather and other- things while his industrious neighbor goes right merrily on cultivating his crops sind in preparing to gather a bountiful harvest; i < The smoking room of an Atlantic liner is a place where "fools and their money are soon parted." Al though this fact has long been known ?the number of people ready to be fleeced by card sharpers shows no diminution.' *..d. v .? ?? - : Why is it that some people cannot or will riot pay a compliment grac dousIyV If necessity compels them to say something. good of a person or of a deed,.-they.s'invariably inject a little poisonous .virus which destroys all the value of the compliment. An .eminent-Chicago divine says that a man should always marry his ideal, t That is good advice, ,hut what If the ideals refuses to. marry thti loan to whom she is the ideal? Pro bably \t would help matters, and cer tainly it would benefit,the man, if he would try to live; up ^o his. ideal. . i 'if.-. The present imperial conference of jpremlors from the self-governing col onies of Great Britain promises to result in actions that will be of far Teaching consequences to the British empiro. Not .unlikely the suggestion of an Imperial Council' consisting of delegstes from the colonies will take definite shape. The man who is a negative in his busih<;ss Is doomed to failure. Busi ness? needs men of conviction, cour age and progress. Men thus endowed often make mistakes and meet with some reverses. But they learn by experience and recover themselves, and in the long run they win out. It s said that the trusts now un der indictment or that have been in fear of it find many encouraging lop holes in the decision of the Supreme Court is the Standard Oil Case. Coloi is given to that statement by the favorable manner with which that decision was received in "Wall fitree:. It is sometimes well to remember that," life does not 'proceed by leaps and bounds, but step by step. This fact goems to be lost! sight of, by those who instead of taking up and dis charging the duties'close at hand speni their time in contemplating what, they shall' do next month or next year. Queen Mary of England evidently has no use for the loud, last society women whose chief ambition seems to be to imitate some of the vices of society men. Considering the moral and social influence which roy alty in Great Britain exerts upon the ?people this attitude of the queen will have*a salutary effect. It will be very nutrh like "march-' ing to the top of the hill and march ing down again" if all that follows the Supreme Court decision is a reor- i ganization of the Standard Oil Com-! pany. Probably, most people think that .the head officials who were re sponsible for violating law should be dealt with along criminal lines, and; will be disappointed if they are not. Many politicians and business men who are accused, of political corrup tior would get people to more readily .believe their protestation of inno cence if they would abstain from try ing to bleck investigation. To raise technical objections and twist and squirm to prevent enquiry is a poor way*, to convince people of their blanretessaess. ..? Sommer in the Country. Summer days have a relaxing: in fluence. The schoolboy finds it hard to give his thoughts and time to study and he counts every day until school closes. Then if he is so for cunate to live in or near the country he hies away to the swimming hole or to the stream wliere fish abound, and he can get more fun and catch more fish with a bent pin and a rod cut from a nearby tree ? than the adult who comes from the city with his patent up-to-dat? fishing outfit. And the business man who has been content through the long winter time to toil faithfully behind desk or counter also feeis the call of the summer and its association of leafy woods, sparkling waters and pure air. Perhaps in reminiscent mood his thoughts go back to boyhood days in the old farm house and the temptation is strong to throw down the pen and obey the call to get back to the land oven If it be but for a few brief weeks. In truth, in most people there is a good deal of the primitive rusticity of their remote ancestors which cen turies of conventionalism and civili zation have failed to eradicate. And it crops out in summertime when the desire Is so strong to get back to nature, and in the rude simple camp life of the woods enjoy a freedom, action and elasticity of spirits to which one is a stranger in the more fashionable and more artificial life of the city. And while this would not do as a regular thing, ir. is good to occa sionally revert to it. The bow must be unbent sometimes or it becomes useless. And the busy man of affairs realizes that it rays "every way to let up a little in the bright summer time and respond to the beckoning call of mother nature. Most of us spend too much time in the mad rush for the almighty dollar, and for get the better and nobler things of life which lie all about us. The South Holding Its Own. The Richmond Times Dispatch says that it is shown by the new national apportionment bill that the south is holding is own in the mat ter of increasing population. It has made a better showing than either New England or the middle west. The Times-Dispatch t'.en gives some in teresting Information concerning the reapportionment of the membership of the national house of representa tives. The old ratio of representation was one member of the house of re presentatives for every 194,192 pop ulation; the new ratio will be one member for every 211,877. Under the new apportionment only two New England state will gain. Massachu setts will get two new members and Rhode Island one. The south, count ing in Oklahoma, gains 10 new mem bers: Oklahoma gets thrr.a new mem bers, Texas 2 and Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and West Vir ginia one'each. Forty - two . additional members will be added to the house. If the old membership btood under the new apportionment, twelve states would lose a total of thirteen members, Il linois, Kansas, Iudianna, Ohio, Wis consin, Nebraska, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia would lose one member while Missou ri would lose two. The Pacific states make the best showing of increased population, excerpt New York and Pennsylvania, vhich gain six and four members, respectively. Those twosstates have the advantage of be ing the first stopping places of armies of foreign immigrants. .;. ? ? ? ? Some Cotton Figures. The iMemphhi Commercial-Appeal has received reports from its cor respondents which indicate that the area planted to. cotton this year shows an increase over 1910 of 4.6 per cent. The lontgomery Adver tiser?with reports at hand from every county in Alabama?believes that a similar .increase in that State will reach 7 per cent. On the face of these reports it looks as if there might be value in continuing the promulgatoin of the diversification gospel. The amount of cotton which the world will take readily even at prices approximating the present market is somewhat less than 20, 000,000 bales. Of this, countries out side Of the United States are estimat ed to be producing 8,000,000, which allows 11,000.000 or 12,000,000 bales for the South to raise. The logic of such a situation leads in evitably to the conclusion that it is not increased acreage but intensified cultivation that our planters should look to. A crop of 12..000,000 bales may be raised upon very much less ground than is at present devoted to cotton culture here In the South. The soli thus freed may be devoted most prof itably to any one of a dozen pur poses. Fifteen cent cotton is mak ing 1911 a very different yevx from 1898, when the highest point reached by middling on che New York market was G 9-16, but this should not be i considered equivalent to a demons tration that cotton is the only crop) the cotton belt can raise with profit.! Seclusive Shoddy Aristocrats. Two or thrt-e men who applied for membership in some exclusive society clubs have been blackballed because they were "self-made" men. That they were successful business men, men of ability and character could not outweigh the disgrace of being self made. If only they had descend ed from the suttlers and bandits who accompanied William the Conqueror to England how different would have been the result. The snobs, who miscall themselves Americans, would have welcomed them with open arms. One cannot help wondering how far removed in point of descent from be ing self-made are the very men who did the blackballing. Probably their fathers or grandfathers dug ditches or did some other honorable but menial labor These exclusive and CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free, Wanted?You to purchase your fav orite magazine from Sims Book Store.
