COMMENTS

MEN AND THINGS
Our state has suffered a great
loss in the death of Wilson W.
Harris of Clinton, editor of The
Clinton Chronicle. Those who
knew Mr. Harris cherished him
as a friend and comrade. He
was a man of principle, safe, sane
and sound; an editor of keen in
sight, breadth, vigor and courage.
Mr Harris made of his paper
a journal of new’s and editorial
leadership.
I have enjoyed telling this on
Mr. Harris, with my tribute of
respect and admiration: he was
the only man I ever knew who
put the telephone in its place. We
Americans bow and scrape to the
telephone: we interrupt any
body, anywhere, to answer the
telephone. Not so, Wilson Har
ris. I was with him one day and
he refused to answer local or
long distance messages because
he was busy. I marveled Ev
ery time the secretary ran back
to the composing room, where
we were, he gave her the same
word: ‘Tm busv; get the num
ber; I’ll call back.” Wonderful
man! Most people rush to the
telephone, sa though the house
were on fire, leaving their callers
dangling in the air, as it were
Our state has other editors of
the same characteristics as Mr.
Harris exemplified. That, sure
ly, is a part of our good fortune.
During the years I have had
the happy experience of asscoiat-
ing with many editors! and, in
recent years, many fine spirits
have come into my life through
my radio brethren; and my
friendships among businessmen
have been stimulating and in
spiring. What a lucky man am I.
Nor would I forget scores of wor
thy and substantial friends of
other walks of life whose good
will and encouragement are as
the very salt of the earth to me.

The ladies have decided that
people should eat and drink
foods and beverages that make
sylph-like figures, so that when
you see a lady on the street you
can’t tell whether she is coming
or going. This bids fair to be a
terrific strain on the eyes of the
men. And then the prevailing
thought is that we should eat
those foods which will prolong
our days, making it likely that
soon our towns will be full of
very slim men and women of
eighty or ninety, all with the
agility and sparkle of the lads
and lassies of twenty.

Recently I had the pleasure of
making a little talk to quite a
number of young priests of the
Catholic church at the American
Legion home in Kings tree
I was invited to tell the priests
something of our state, the invi
tation coming from the Rev. Jos
eph L. Bemadin, vice Chancelor
of the Catholic diocese of Char
leston. Our Catholic brethren
have a Bishop whose official
residence is in Charleston, so the
whole diocese, meaning the state,
is known as the Diocese of Char
leston, the Cathedral there being
the Bishop’s seat.
I enjoyed my visit to Kings-
tree, as I always do. This occas
ion carried me back in thought
to my days in Peru. Among my
duties, I was president of the
Examining Board of the Catholic
University of Lima, an institu
tion whose Rector, as the Spanish
call the head of a University,
was a retired Bishop and he was
the handsomest man I ever knew
—Monsenor Pedro Pablo Drinot.
Year after year I devoted some
hours, after office hours, and
early in the morning, to the ex
aminations, which were oral, be
ing conducted by me and my two
assistants without any participa
tion by the faculty of the Univer
sity. My approval gave the
course official recognition, as I
was the Government’s represen
tative.
I had the pleasure of an hour
with the Bishop, a charming gen
tleman as well as a great man
of God.
