J. F. J. Caldwell's i tribute to Hon. James Simons, which 1 was printed in the State some time i ago, and asks me what I think of it. 1 Speaking of the many virtues of Mr. Simons Maj. Caldwell, among others, said: "He had the rare and very 3 lovable infirmity of thinking better i of his fellowmen than they deserved." j Well, so far as I am concerned, I J think mighty well of anything that i Maj. Caldwell writes. There is no < more finished scholar in these parts ' than Maj. Caldwell, arid he always > flings good English, and it always { has good meat in it. He is not only j a good lawyer, but'he is also a man j of high literary attainments. *' But I reckon what struck the at- c tention of the editor in this partic- j ? * * i ular sentence is, that he snouia say i r lit was an "infirmity" to think better i <jf your fellowman than he deserved, i *There is one thing that is true, it ? : certainly is a rare virtue. And it is t ' lovable. But is it an "infirmity?" 1 Webster says infirmity is the same : as imbecility, weakness, and so on. Whatver it does mean it certainly is t a virtue, and a good one, and one < that is rare, to think better of your i fellowman than he deserves. And I 1 am unable to figure it out as a weak- ^ * ness in any man. The trouble with 1 most of us is that we do not think s as well of our fellowman as he de- 1 serves, and human nature is such i that we seem to prefer to think evil ? of our fellows, and not give them t credit for what they really are worth. 1 p r I have often wondered why it was < that most people should take so much 1 pleasure in saying unkind things J about their fellowman, and some- 1 times when it would be so much eas- 1 ier and so much more truthful to say pleasant things, or not to say anything at all. But what I don't under- , stand is that Maj. Caldweli should call it an "infirmity" to think better of your fellowman than he deserved. Maybe he will be kind enough to tell , me how he counts it an "infirmity." . This reminds me of a little poem I . read somewhere the other day, and , I have had it on my table for some ] r while, thinking that I would pass it . on to others, in the hope that the ' beautiful sentiment which it contains would be helpful and do some , good to some one. It reads like this: ( ' 1 Blest be the tongue that speaks no ill, Whose words are always true, , That keeDS the law of kindness still f, Whatever others do. j ^ Blest be the hands that toil to aid ^ The great world's ceaseless need? , The hands that never are afraid To do a kindly deed. Now isn't that beautiful, and isn't J the sentiment fine? Speak no ill, 1 think no ill, always ready to do a L kindly deed^ Never afraid to do I ^ it. That keeps the law of! < kindness. Always speaks the truth. That doesn't know how to simulate. Such a hand and such a tongue is entitled to be twice blest. And yet I j suspect that the reader could, with j very little effort or thought, place j his hand on a dozen men and women,, too, in this town who would take I more pleasure in passing on some- ? (thing that was unkind, and maybe i not true, that they had heard about i} tH Reconstruct] sniJiM!!niiKKi:niff.!!iaai!;iiiLTnn?!Hiai!iiinwimiHi!i:nTWJ!BBifHi!;!y!^iiiii!ii!ii!iHiiiiiii - AND NECESSARY ?

Isn't it wonderful how much, more readily we | think of sending on the unkind and j hurtful things than we do the helpful and kind things that are said. Our thinking is in the wrong channel and needs to be changed and to get into ihat channel which will cause us to speak kindly and gently or hold our ;ongues. I have often wondered what was really the true meaning and Extent md application of that passage of scripture which says that we shall be leld to a strict account for all the die words that we speak. I think it >ccurs in St. Matthew somewhere: 'But I say unto you, That every idle vord that men shall speak, they shall jive account thereof in the day of iudgment." And then the holy writer ?oes on to say something like this, 'For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be :ondemned." I somehow have not ust exactly understood the meaning >f these sentences, and I would be nighty glad if some of the good minsters of the town would write me an explanation, and tell me what in tipir in dement the insnired writer neant by "idle words." And then it has often seemed to me ;hat there was another great frailty >f the .human animal. There are so nany timps when we could say the rind word, which we do not and vhich we feel and think, and it would so helpful and encouraging to the struggling and those who need to be lelped, and when the help would cost is so little of energy and nothing ilse. But we are all a long ways from ;he perfect animal, and it will be a I ~ ? l- A I ong time before we reacn tnax; szage. i That will be an awful day for some >f us in the judgment when we have to give account for every idle word. Had you ever thought about it? You better begin to think, and think twice before you speak. The Idler.

The big oak tree in front of the residence of Mrs. Fannie Maffett was blown down and several small houses on Mr. J. M. Alewine's place just above Silverstreet were blown down. A big tree near the residence of Mr. J. W.

The tree was some five or six feet in diameter. On Mr. H. 0. Long's place there was considerable hail doing damage ;o corn and other crops. The hail was heaviest, possible at Deadfall md just this side. The rain ceased or there was none just beyond the city limits until you reached Mr. Hilliard Long's and then from there on to the river and possibly beyond it was heavy.

To make full confession I had not ven known that the festival would all in the year of our visit, not to peak of the very week. Of course very lover of the east has learned hat the sacred tooth is exhibited very five years for the adoration of he faithful, and that in the interval either prince nor millionaire can obain a glimpse of its venerable form. Both the official head of Buddhism 1 Ceylon and tfce British representa ive would have to agree to any dearture from this usage, so the rule > strictly observed. One instinctivey asks why the relic is so sacred, 'his history of tihs- solicitously uarded treasure, as narrated by the inghalese priests, may be summarizd as follows: When Buddha's body ad been burned, an Arahat took an nconsumed fragment from the ashes f the funeral pyre.. This was the jft canine tooth, destined to become he most celebrated of the many rondrous relics of the founder of tie faith. . ? *\ j . After a rather peaceful existence f about eicrht centuries in the south rn peninsula it became so famous nd created such disturbance in the irahmanic community that it was urreptitiously carried to the Budhist center in Ceylon concealed in tie tresses of the Princess Kalinga. Taturally, such a priceless possession roved the cause of international trife. Once, at least, it was carried ack to the mainland of India, but ras recovered by Prakrama Bahu II., to become once more the source f untold blessings. The Tree Bears Bitter Fruit. 'arm Life. There was a time when a good non-ir n-f nc rprtain evils of wo. orporation control, advocated govrnment ownership, especially of the vires and the transportation lines. Jut we have tried complete governnent control and operation, and our nthusiasm for the plan is down to he lowest point. It may be admited, fairly, that war-time measures ,re not conclusive. The indications, lowever, are not favorable to govrnment operation, and it seems likey that the congress, now in special ession, will turn back the railroads n thpir owners. The Question is due o cause us trouble before it is fin.lly settled, and the greatest wisdom .nd liberality will be needed on the iart of our legislature.

FflRil'S VIFWS WiilV W I 1BMII W| BISHOP WILLIAMS TESTIFIES IN < THE $1,000,000 LIBEL CASE AGAINST TRIBUNE. WONT TELL -HALF-TRUTHS" Noted Divine Says If Manufacturer's ( Theories Are Anarchistic Then He Is In Danger Of Becom- 1 ing Anarchist Himself. . I Mt Clemens, Mich.?The Chicago Tribune rested its defense in the $1,000,000 libel suit which Henry Ford has brought against it after spending ; seven weeks and two days in attempt- ( ing to prove that it was justified in 1 calling the manufacturer an "anarchist." The 12th week of the trial i opened with Ford counsel offering re- , OAOinef TV>q Tri. UUIUU lesuuiuu/ Bgauigt * ... bune's defense. The first witness for Mr. Ford was the Rt Rev. Charles D. Williams, D. D., Episcopal bishop of Michigan, who appeared on the stand in rebuttal of the testimony of Prof. J. S. Reeves, ' professor of political science in the 1 Universitv of Michigan who had pre iously testified that Henry Ford's |: lews were distinctly anarchistic. |; Bishop Williams said that Mr.l Ford's views were far from being 1 anarchistic and were, in fact, Chris- , tlan, common and often commonplace. , The Bishop refused to be led by j Tribune counsel in his answers and insisted on telling "the whole truth." Asked whether he thought Henry ' Ford's declaration that all armies 1 should be disbanded, all navies destroyed and all material of war con- 1 verted into commerical implements 5 was anarchistic, the witness answer- 1 ed: Would Be Good World. "I could quote a half-dozen passages from Scripture that express al- : ' most that idea. I should say that the j: | main theme of these statements by i; | Henry Ford are distinctly Christian, j j commonly preached in Christian pul- j, ! pits and that if they were lived up to this would be a pretty good Christian j world." "Bishop," asked Tribune counsel,; "do you believe that Mr. Ford has! I auoted, 'patriotism is the last resort j j of a scoundrel.'" "I have often said so" responded; the witness. "I have often seen It so."! Concerning the doctrine of non-j ; resistance Bishop Williams declared; ; he did not believe in such a theory; ' but that many Christians did. ; j "It is the belief of anarchists/' said! Tribune counsel. ! | "Yes and the belief of Christians." | j "Will you be good enough to ans-, ; wer the question," retorted counsel. ! "Anarchists say that and Christians say that I am afraid I am going ' to tell the whole truth." j "Now Bishop?" j- Would Tell Whole Truth. j* "I am going to tell the whole' ; truth." j "You are telling something I have not asked you to tell." j | "You have not asked me for the , whole truth. I have to follow my con-; ! science. I am a simple man." I " J I "I am arraia, conmiueu mo diquu^, i "that If this is anarchy I agree vrith it | mostly." 1 Ford counsel theik called William , j A. Dunning, professor cf history and ; 1 political philosophy in Columbia Uni- i I versity, to testify concerning Mr. Ford's theories and utterances. j | "When Henry Ford," said counsel, i "said that we should stop talking a 1 bout one factory, one state and one j onnntrv flriH hpein to talk about the , ? j world, was he preaching the doctrine of anarchy?" "No that is the general thought of; cosmopolitanism ? human inclusive-1 ness; it has permeated all speculation' on political philosophy ever since: there was such a philosophy." "Is there anything peculiarly anar-j chistic about it?" "No." "Is it in any way essential to anar-! chism?" "No." ?> O 1 fl/N PoM A J i rum aiou caiu luai. uc UC11CY6U 1 humanity could make mistakes bu/ couid do nothing worse; he said ha believed everything tended toward j the good, and that even the terrible ! world war would result in blessing to j the world. Is there anything anarchistic i about those ideas?" "They were commonplace before an anarchist was ever heard of. The iaea that man is naturally good is j the basis of Plato's morals. It has j' permeated moral philosophy ever j I since." Prof. Dunning was then asked to run through the articles and interviews sponsored by Henry Ford and indicate the portions which would convince a critical examiner that Mr. . Ford was not an anarchist The witness promptly pointed out j' I numerous references to the govern-! ' ment and to the use of the ballot j ! which showed, he said, that Mr. Ford 11 believed in the orderly processes of i: government and therefore could not!: be an anarchist In no writing or i ^ f interview, he said, could he find a i single indication that Mr. Ford was \ ^ ] an anarchist, either In the common j. ! or philosophical conception of thatj' term. . * ENTIRE CIRCUS IS LEASED TO MAKE GOLD7/YN F/CTURE. "Pclly of the Ci.-cvs" Reproduces Every Detail of a Bi;? Show. Even with the most elaborately equipped studios the director of the modern-day motion picture spectacle is frequently forced to take extreme measures to make a production, so varied are the requirements of the screen scenario. Striking evidence of this occurred in the making of "Polly of the Circus," Goldwyn Pictures' first great production, of which Mae Marsh is ihe star. For the proper production of Margaret Mayo's play of circus life it was, of course, necessary to have a circus. All the action of the story took place in or about the big top of a circus, with clowns, animals and other elements of "the big show" dominating the plot. "Rnf fViovo nrac nr\ /mtviiq in tViO Goldwyn studios in New Jersey. The question, then, was how to get one. And this is how the necessary circus was acquired: Charles T. Horan, who directed this huge picturesque spectacle, was passing through a little town in New Jersey when he saw a small circus coming into the town. It was a circus traveling by wagon through the small towns of New Jersey; just such a circus as the play required. There Wets vciy siiui vijr a wvuicicn^ uvtween representatives of Goldwyn and the owners of the circus, and an agreement was reached whereby Goldwyn leased the circus for a longenough period to complete the production of "Polly of the Circus." Sufficient remuneration was given the circus owner to appease him for the loss of his dates, and his show went bodily into the employ of Goldwyn. 4 XV _ x it was wun mis equipment tnau Director Horan was able to put on a realistic parade through the streets, in which bands played and animals roared, and with which he was later able to stage the morning arrival and night-time departure of a circus in a small town. Finally a regular performance was given, with Mae Marsh and the other members of the cast playing the roles called for in the scenario!' Mr. Horan was, therefore, in possession of a well rehearsed circus out^ fit. He did not have to train men even to drive stakes or raise a centre pole. He had everything to make a realistic circus setting, including even the shell game men. The little circus lacked but one element. It had no elephants. So the famous herd of Powers' trained elephants were rented from the New York Hippodrome. These elephants play baseball, tag and perform dozens of stunts in the picture, and there are many other performing animals, including the follet-skating bear, the clown's stubborn donkejr that refuses to do anything, and the man-like chimpanzee that smokes cig aretts and rides bareback like the daring human riders. "Polly of the Circus" will appear at the opera house Thursday, August 14. Alice?It's quite a secret, but I aras married last week to Dick Gay.
