continued as firm and immovable as
ever — or even more so — but the
young woman gave her seat to foe
elderly one. And all the men stood
for it; I should say they sat for it
So the young woman Joined the eight

Seldom have I seen one woman

never have I seen young fellows so
utterly indifferent to the most ele

How big is a big man?_What makes
a big man? We are less inclined to
hero worship than our fathers were;
at least it seems so to me. To say a
man is great covers too much terri
tory; we may more modestly say that
he is big. What makes a big man? Is
it a big'Job? Does the Job make the
man big, or does the man magnify
the Job? Perhaps you remember the
story of foe illustrious Greek vfoo
was elected public garbage man by
his enemies. He accepted, saying that
if the position could not honor him
he would try to dignify the position.
He must have been a big man. A big
man must be one who fills his place
so completely that he is always re
garded as bigger than the Job. Fre
quently we see a man whose pMition
overshadows him. People say “Yon
der goes foe chief mogul of such-
and-such an enterprise.” The Job is
bigger than foe man and even hides
him. But when you think of Wafo-
ington, Lee, Calhoun, Wade Hampton
or Ben Tillman you don’t think of a
porition or office, for any offee seems
too small for foe m^. Washington—
well, who was he, or what was he?
A general, a presidmit? He was more
than that He was Washington, and
all the hoifors Just merge into the
greatness of the man. Most people
don’t remember anything about his
generalship or his administration as
president; but nearly everybody
thinks of him as a figure of heroic
stature, a man above and beyond the
petty details of place or the routine
of living.
Who remembers anything about
the offices held by John C. Calhoun?
Or his great argumoats? He towers
above all other Carolina statesmen
until he is bec<xning a mythical fig
ure of renown.
Who today thinks of Lee as foe
great strategist; as the aggressive
fighter, always attacking the enemy?
Who thinks of him as the president
the level: an agreement here, a com
bination there—and ail that.
A government by the people isn’t
worth anything unless the people ex
ercise their (;hoice freely and sin
cerely. I do not know that any one
deliberately sells his vote for so many
dollars, but we have developed and
are still developing, the practice of
sending cars out to bring in the vot
ers. $100 to $500 may be sent to a
county to get the men to the polls.
To the polls for whom? Surely for
those who pay for the cars, or the
gasoline. Ben Tillman wasn’t elected
that way. Wade Hampton and his fol
lowers didn’t wait for a hired car
riage to take them to the polls. We
voters should regard "our ballot as
something which symbolizes our citi
zenship. We ought to get to the bal
lot box under our own power, or.
with friends who take us at our re-
queat. We ought not to be hauled
about by friends or paid workers of
Any man or newspaper calling at-1‘^®***^^*^*^®' voters don’t re-
of Washington coUege? Lee was so
great a man that any position would
seem to crowd and cramp his per
sonality within narrow confines.
Hampton and Tillman are not re
membered as United States senators
size too great to be measured by an
office. '
So, periiaps, a man is a big man
who fllMT his office; who exalts his
office; but he is a great man when
he so far surpasses all the require
ments of office as to be immeasur
ably above and beyond it.
tention to our high cost of govern

experience of the Disciples who re
marked, “We have toiled all night
and caught nothing.” Goxprnment of
all kinds costs heavily. I don’t know|
what to do except to do without
something. Each one of us could add
t^nty-flve per cent to his cost of
living and defend it as a wholesome
expenditure. But careful men don’t
buy everything that is, or seems, de

do that. That is true here in South
Carolina, as well as elsewhere. It is
true of counties and municipal gov

true of the nation.
