' i i ? I. WOODROW WILSON "DID NOT FAIL" Laid Foundation of New Order, Says McAdoo "Whatever may be the ImperfSC tiona of the treaty from a political or economical standpoint. Wood row Wilson did not fail." says William U. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, In a statement made at the request of the New York ?Hobe. "Woodrow Wilson, the man,will die," Mr. McAdoo says, "but Woodrow Wilson, the apostle of peace, will live forever." "In his m.irtyid??m there U not defeat?there is triumph!" "It is with hesitation that I com? ply with your request." the former secretary of the treasury says In prefacng his statement of his opin? ion of the ex-prc blent. "hccau.se my Intimate relationship may incline centred or prejudiced minds to vay that 1 am not an impartial observer. Hla retlrem"nt from the presidency marks, however, an epoch of such profound significance to the world that 1 can not resist the temptation to say a few words about one phase of hla career. "I do not agree with those who hastily and Inconsiderately adjudge the president's work at the peace coaference a failure. Whatever nia> Ihj the Imperfections of the treaty from a political or economic stand? point, Woodrow Wilson did not fail. The outstanding thing for which he fought, the thing that transcends po? litical and economic considerations, i* the permanent peace of the world. I'nless this Is secured all else Is a obyee; without thisj the sublimest h)Ope of humanity Is sunk in the black abyss; without this all political am/ economic adjustments are unstable and sooner or later will disappear. "Woodrow Wilson laid the founda lona of the world peace and a new or? der in the Versailles treaty. This Is the supreme need of civilisation; this Is Me greatest work. The fact that the crowning structure has not yet reached completion, that It has been ha'ted by the selfishness of designing politicians and the greed of ma? terialistic national interests, haa getUlef Impaired nor destroyed those foundations. The tilca of reaction Bill ignomlnlously exhaust them? selves and the work of Woodrow Wilson will emerge unscathed and rtend like the eternal rocks as the support of a new and better order of which peace and Justice will be the keystom-. "This is Woodnw Wilson's match? less contribution to his time. Cheat und noble aa havo been his other unparalleled achievements in the fields of politics, economics and let? ter*; this Is his enduring monument. He has put a new star In the Ameri? can flag?like the Star of Bethlehem, with hs eternal message of peace, good will and hope. No one can tear that star from the flag. With it America will lead the vanguard of humanity and civilization to a new day of human brotherhood and world order. This will not come Immo? lately, but it will come Inevitably in the slow and suro processes of time. "Woodrow Wilson, the man, Wt*l die; but Woodrow Wilson, the apos? tle of of peace, will live forever. Out of his SSnrldos ami suffc-ing ? borne with admirable dignity ami auhlme courage?' bo good he has ?ought to do for mankind will come to a nobts fruition and receive a splendid though perhaps Pa'.ati d rec? ognition. In his martyrdom there is not defeat?there Is triumph' His? tory will do him Justice. He can await its verdict with seran.ty." Japan >lak< * Many fiddles. Washington, March 11.?Ja/.s mu? sic In this country is being extracted from Japanese made fiddles. A re? port from Consul Hawley. at Nagoya, Japan, says a quarter of a million dollars worth of Japanese fiddles were bought by the United States in 1919. this country taking the great bulk of ths product of this new Industry, built up in Japan sine? the world war broke up Germany's business. Three factories In Nagoya p*o duce all the violins made In Japan. They were founded by M: saklakl frusukl who made his first fiddle, Con? sul Hawley says, in 1888 using as a model "a foreign Instrument brought to Nagoya as a curiosity." The en? terprise had a total product of mu? sical Instruments In 1914 valued at 124,419, but bad spread out to three factories employing l.ioo people In 1911 when the output reached 163! - 440 of Which $:t98,t91 went in export, the t'nlted States taking 68 per cent. The first six months of 1920 saw the plants develop a business aggregat? ing Iftf.MS. Germany's former place as fiddle maker at large t?? the world has been captured, the consul Indicates, and add* "Mr. Susuki be Revet that the Oer? mans cannot manufacture Instru? ments st Japanese costs, and that the Instruments of Japanese manu? facture havina proved t ludr good <iu>il lt\. In spite of prejudices which were ?t Arst entertained abroad, have now established themselves so firmly in foreign markets, and sspeclalrj In the t'nlted States, that they can not be displaced " The key to the situation appear! to be in Japanese lange costs and the ?

French rafi lipping his wine, His small bot tie wai finished ami he was about to order more when his eyes rested on a newspaper lying near. He read the headline "Hard Times aro Coming," 'Hard times." he paid, "we must econ? omize," so Instead of calling for a fresh bottle he called for his bill. The landlord, knowing the artist's habits, surprised that the order for the second bottle was not given, ap i proached his customer and said. "Not going so soon? Is my wine not good ?" "Excellent." said the art Ft, "but hard times arc coining and 1 must Si onoinlze." "Hard times." said the Isndloi !. and he scratched his head, then he called his wife. "That new silk drei you or? dered/' he said, "you must make cot-] ton do, The Blilsl tells mc hard turn s are coming. We must economise Cancel your order and buy something cheaper." When the landlord's wife canceled her order she told the dressmaker what her husband had said. "We must prepare for hard times," she said. "Hard times are coining; my husband and the artirit say so." "Hard times," said tho dressmaker, "hard times are coming. This Is no time to expand. Those improvements I had Intended to make must wait." He put on his hat and crossed the street to the builder with whom he had planned additions to tho show room. "The changes 1 planned must wait" he mid. "Do not proceed with the work. Hard times are coming. We must economize. When conditions Improve I will call you in but I can? not invest money in the face of hard time When the dtessmaker left the build-' er sat down and wrote a letter: "My dear ai t ist friend. 1 must postpone sitting for my picture. Wo are going to have hard times and I think it best to wait until things sire settled before] Induging in :his expense. Hard times, you know, must be regarded." When the artist received the letter he went to the cafe. Ho ordered a small bottle ?.lust enough, he said, to sooth him. Staring nt him from a nearby chnlr was the newspaper he had seen two days bfore. He picked it up, scanned it more closely and found that it was two years old. Moral: Times are what we make them. Lifo is a circle through which cheerfulness or dejection flows.

Two checks are involved in the bank case, each lor $?'?.000. Tlie.se checks represented the state's portion of Greenwood and McCormlck coun? ty taxes, and were drawn in favor of the slate treasurer on the Bank of Greenwood.

Columbia, March 14.?Plans for tho reorganization of the state highway i department, following appropriation cuts made by the recent legislature, wane announced by chief Bnglneer Mooretield today. The department Will reduce the number of divis? ions in Its engineering forces through? out the state from four to two, and the number of engineers and drafts? men connected with the department will he reduced, effective April 1. Heretofore the stat" highway de? partment has had four division en? gineers' offices, one in Laurens, one in Florence, one in Charleston und one in Columbia. After April I, there will be only two divisions, and both will have their headquarters In the state highway offices in Columbia. One division will be for the western part Of the statt1, and 1>. M. Weisiger, at present engineer for the first district, with office in Laurens, will be in charge, If.. T. Brown, now chief of surveys for tho state department, will be division engineer for the eastern division. The force of draftsmen In tho high? way offices will be reduced from is to 6, ihis change also being efTectlvo April I. Thepc reductions mean that the highway department will not bo aide to give more than limited aid to the counties in the construction of neu loads. The department for the year ahead will be enabled to do little more th in carry OUt the work al? ready under way and maintain tho roads already adopted Into the state I maintenance system. Practically all the new highway construction of the year will have to bo done by th" counties alone. Offltilals of the de? partment, especially Chief Engineer ChaS, H. Mooiefleld, express the hope that the limited operations will bo only temporary and that tho depart? ment will soon be hack where it can resume construction of new roads. Tin- appropriation made i.y the leg? islature this >ear for the engineering branch of the highway department was cut from $80,000, the la^t year appropriation, to $60,000 for tins year. At the same time the work of the department has greatly Increased in the past year, due to extensive highway operations in many parts of the state.

How many times have you faced the ho t that some one else has made use of "your" idea? In Other word", how many times has the other fellow "heat you to it?" If you are an advertising man it is probable that you have found in the newspapers an idea fully work? ed out which you had been turning over In your mind. If yon are a merch ihi or a man ufacturer it is more than likeiy that yon have suddenly discovered that some one has slready put into opera? tion a merchandising idea which you had evolved and meant to use soon. The history of human thought & full of Instances where two or mw" men were working on the same id'?a and where the one who leaped th" rewards was the on** who brought his idea first before the public. The patent office and the Internat national copyright, especially the former, are in existence because Ideas are not exclusive properties oc? curring to only one man. Two, five, a dozen men unknown to each other and separated by thousands of miles may be working on the same new ivh a. The successful man is the man who first translates his thought into ao , tlon. He is the man who when an idea comes to him sets himself immedi? ately to the task of realizing his idea I as something other than a mental [ fancy. An idea which Is not in action, which is not materialized, is nothing more than a mental toy. It is useful, worthy, and profitable only when it is a visible fj^gt. The legislature hailed up matters in the ill-considered act repealing; th"> law providing for attendance offleer? to enforce the compulsory school law.
