Ordinary Men
Too Much Charity
Parental Love
By ED HOWE
' j
| T RECALL being startled some years
I ago on reading a statement In a
book that only the ordinary men have
leal Intelligence ; that pi)e?sr philoso
phers, professors and prophets go so far I
In their speculations that they finally '
cmup far beyond the truth.
I was startled by the statement be- !
cause throughout my life I have been <
reading books of the Intelligentsia de- j
during that ordinary people are weak ?
creatures, and must be constantly dl- I
reeled by preachers and writers.
1 think this great compliment was i
paid us by Herbert Spencer; and there
is some evidence to wumint it. In 1
Russia the ordinary working Alnerl- j
cutis are accepted as superior men, (
and sent for as foremen In building
I factories, railroads, power and irriga- ;
Hon dams, etc. But note the contempt
the Russian leaders express for our ,
writers and statesmen! None of their 1
notLons are accepted.
I give credit above to Herbert. Spen
cer for the compliment. It may have
been Samuel Butler; l should have
better remembered the najne, in grati
tude. Anyway, both men have come
down to us with reputations for un- '
usual intelligence and learning; and ,
lot ordinary working citizens reuiein- I
her that such a man believed they are j
the source of real Intelligence, and in |
future combat mistaken notions of '
writers and statesman with more i
vigor.
? ? ? I
'I lie Soviet leaders in Russia have
some excellent Ideas. One is that the |
thousands of idle and mischievous !
men in the big towns must uive good I
excuse for remaining or get out into !
the country, and earn an honest II v- i
Ing on farms. In every town there '
are many characters known to police, J
who live by scheming almost or en
tirely robbery. These men are respon- i
sible for nine-tenths of the law break- I
ing; the ordinary citizen with a good |
Job does not require the attention of j
police a half dozen times In his life- ;
time. . . . The most serious trou
ble In the world today Is too much
charity for the more than half loafers,
dead beats and criminals. And this
excessive charity Is a new growth. I j
distinctly remember a time when all
communities had a vagrancy law; va- '
grants were arrested with considerable !
promptness and discretion, and made to
work on the rock pile. Nearly every
where now the vagrants are in charge
of public affairs.
? ? ? ?
Writers highly compliment mothers
In some ways, and misrepresent them
viciously In others.
Writers almost universally charge
that mothers do not properly educate
daughters In sex matters. There nev
er was a mother who neglected such
education.
I have long believed the love of par
ents for children Is the thing thnt nev
er falls. . And pareDts add a patience
and self-sacrifice In dealing with their
children that Is about the most credit
able thing to be said of our miserable )
race.
Some parents, poor wretches, have
bnd Judgment, but fierce devotion to
children never fails so far as I have
observed. If love for our children
will save us we will all finally get to j
heaven.
Some children may fail to sit on the !
right hand of CJod because of mean- |
noss to their parents, but if love of j
children is sufficient virtue to save us, '
I expect to find all parents there.

An English writer siys: "A ho.v is (
more often disqualified than qualified j
in economic life by a prolonged educa
tion." II. M. Wells has long b^en say- I
ing time spent in a university Is wast- i
ed, and a training in idleness and
nAvdylsm. England Is deliberately
cutting its educational budget ; und it
has never been as foolish about edu- !
cation as have Americans who have !
steadily m(idc it more expensive and
Ineffective.
One of the Impressive incidents of
my life has been knowing an ol<l worn- 1
an who had had two worthless hus
bands, several children, and on an av- j
erage not more than half enough to '
eat and wear. She almost worships '
every man able to make a good living. !
Such a man Is her Ideal, and a success. I
I rate men In the same way. Those '
who make a good living, pay their |
debts with reasonable promptness, 1
help somewhat In* decent human prog- I
ress, and are In line for honest promo- '
tlon, are our best men. From their J
ranks come the millions who have !
slowly improved their manners and j
their services, and been able to distln- i
gulsh their race. -There are many llm- j
Rations In the creature called man, '
but If he Is ambitious to get out of i
life the best there is admittedly In It,
he Is good enough rind a success.
. . .
I have long believed a majority of j
the people are good enough, consider- I
Ing nil their handicaps. . . , Hut j
rfow that times are harder than ever
before, I nm wavering somewhat; hon
esty Is always at a specially low ebb
during hard times. One Is most apt
to be honest when getting along fair
ly well; the word of the man in worst
trouble must be discounted most.

Always the Hope
of Treasure-Find
And Gold Is Not the Only
Valuable Awaiting
Discovery.
A man In Salisbury, Maryland,
found $.50,000 in ipi old graveyard
which he bought for $200.
iiis name Is Vance Butler. and he
is a gas station operator. He bought
the land on which there was an aban
doned graveyard for $'_'O0 and set two
negroes to work clearing it. They
found a rusty pot containing the
money, gold, silver and currency
amounting to about !?;?0.0r >.
It seems you never know in this
world where there's buried gold until
?you hump up agajnst it.
For every\day people are unearth
ing treasuie, discovering buried gold
as unexpected as this fortune turned
up in a rusty pot in an old grave
yard.
The buried treasure is not always
in money ? though it is no. less val
uable, indeed frequently it is more
precious than gold.
By a chance turning of some cornet
people have found an Interest li: ?? i
has enriched the rest of their lives;
a small nugget of thought, that has
led them to a wealth of discovery and
adventure and turned into new chan
nels the whole direction of their lives
No less unexpected, in some tin
accented meeting, has been found the
gold of a deep and true friendship.
And in the years, too. when we re
gard ourselves as past the age when
lifelong friendships are formed. Then
such a treasure-find is doubly cher
ished.
And .lust so, frequently to those
who have turned their thoughts from
hoping, who have resigned themselves
to life without It, .1 it st so, in it chance
contact, a chance turning of a cor
ner that has many times been
traversed, just so we sometimes find
that greatest of treasure ? love.

To Stop Awful
Sinus Headache
s Correct Cause
Sinus pain is often
caused by catarrh mu
cus backing up into the
sinuses where it sours
and starts an infection.
To stop tho splitting
pain you must correct
the cause. Penetro Nose
and Throat Drops does
this. Its spccial medicated oils loosen
the catarrh mucus, and the ephedrine
it contains shrinks swollen nasal tissues,
thereby promoting free drainage.
Quickly the violent pain is relieved;
soon the sinuses become healthy; and
breathing free and easy. Use Penetro
Nose and Throat Drops regularly.
Approved by leading nose and throat
specialists. Two generous sizes, 25c and
50c, with handy bulb applicator.
