WILL BREAK HIM.
disease.

Rev. DR.. Staley, pastor of the Christian
Elon College, is liable to 'go broke" by
reason of his zeal to fill the pews of his
church during the hot months. A tele-
gram from Suffolk, Va, to the New York
Herald gives the particulars:
Suffolk. Va, July Ito disarm his
stay at home members Of their obiec-
ton that they have no clothes fit to
wear, the Rev. DR.. w. w. Staley, pastor
of the Christian church, whose congrega-
ton is the wealthiest in the city, has Of
fered to buy Sunday dresses for a part of
those who complain of their shabbiness.
He is one of the most popular pastors in
Suffolk. He is president of Elon College,
North Carolina, and owner of North
Carolina cotton plantation.
Noticing the continued absence of a
we'll known member of his flock, DR..
Staley unbranded him and received the
stereotyped excuse. Then the pastor de-
clared he would buy nice Sunday suit,
provided the recipient would wear it only
on church days and would come to SER
vices as long as it lasted.
when asked how MS scneme was going
to extend, DR.. Staley said this afternoon
he was not able to buy everybOdy's Sun
day clothes, but he thought any worthy
member would be provided with new ap-
parel on the conditions named"
Many plans have been invented or sug-
gested to stop the s.'nothing- to-wear' ex-
cuse. We tremble for Dr. Staley, for the
chance of getting suits and new dresses
by pleading nothing to-wear" may en-
would break a Vanderbilt. 1t is praise
worthy but would be liable to break the
preacher unless he takes a summer vaca-
ton and upon his return pleads the
statute of limitations.

ANOTHER TRUST GRAB.

The fellows who put up the money to
elect Mckinley are making it back in
many ways. Itsnow develops that trust,
composed of fourteen firms. is given the
exclusive privilege of furnishing boxes on
the rural free delivery routes. Farmers
are compelled to buy only from these
firms who have formed what is called "a
gentlcman's agreement to maintain
rates. which is another term for doing
the public" Some of the Western Con-
gressmen are kicking, one of them assert
ing that the privilege granted to the
trust is worth 100000.
The trusts are in the saddle and they
are riding, and riding rough shod over
whatever comes in their way. The law
seem impotent to check them, but their
greed is certain to carry them too far,
and there will come day of reckoning.

Mr.. John Hays.


TO the Editor: l just wish to add a
small tribute OF respect to the memory of
the pest and | might say greatest man
that have known.
mere are many standards of greatness
among men, but by common consent the
warrior seems to be pre- eminently above
all others Yet the scriptures tell us
that there is character stronger than
that OF the warrior, and that he who
possesseth 1t lis mightier than he that
taketh city" 1t is of this pronunced
feature of Mr. Hays character that wish
to write.
/ had known him for more than a
quarter or a century, and much of that
time we were intimately associated, both
in religious and secular matters, and |
never heard an unguarded word nor a
word of unkindness toward others pass
from his lips. He seemed at all times
to have complete control of himself, and
able to birdie his tongue
When we look back upon his gentle.
smooth, quiet, modest life on one hand,
ard the mighty power he was for good
on the other, We ask-wherein is the Sc
cret? This answer comes from the scrip
tures--'he that ruleth his spirit is
mighter than he that taketh a city" The
evidence that man rules his spirit is
that he is able to bride his tongue"
To bride the tongue is not to stop it
from giving utterance, but to so control
it as to direct it away from doing evil
into doing good.
And if we wish to investigate further
into the secret of this power, we bring
to our aid the Savior's own declaration
that, "out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh.' If, then the mouth
speaketh no unkind words "the abund-
ance of the heart" must be that love
which is the foundation and essence of
pure Christianity, the greatest power
known on earth-or in heaven. There
fore he who possesseth it is greater than
he that can overpower city or despoil
a nation. The latter has only the praise
of men which must pass away, while the
former is the recognized agency of God
in establishing that kingdom that must
bring universal peace and happiness and
stand forever.
Those whose hearts have been made
to bleed because of this severance of
earthly ties, should also rejoice that he
attained unto that standard of greatness
by which those are measured who are
numbered among the few who "are
chosen f~

Where Was Stanton Born?

To the Editor: Answering the ques-
ton which you have raised, one writer
says that Edwin McMasters Stanton
was born in Cartaret county, and that
his father, being a Quaker and opposed
to slavery. moved with his family to
Indiana in 1880; but, as it has been
suggested that the Nancy Hanks who
went to Kentucky from North Carolina
was not the Nancy Hanks who was the
mother of Abraham Lincoln, so it may
be that there were two Edwin M. Stan
tons At any rate, Alden's Manifold
Cyclopedia says that the famous or
Infamous Edwin M. Stanton was born
at Steubenville, Ohio, December 19,
1914, and died in 1869 of. as Brick"

NEGLECTING RULES OF HEALTH.

Many men unconsciously shorten their
days by neglecting the plain laws OF
health. Such neglect is not so surprising
among the ignorant, but it is source OF
wonder when one of the greatest men,
one of the ablest writer's and one of the
most profound scholars of the world takes
course that produces death. Such was
the case with the late Prof. John Fiske.
He was physically perfect, but by neglect
died at 50 when he should have lived to
the three score years and ten. Discuss
ing the cause of his death, the Phila-
delphia Ledger says:
1--WE do not know what the official
diagnosis was; but does it not seem most
probable that the real cause of his dying
twenty years too soon was that he neg
lected-no maltreated IS the better word
that splendid body of his and wore it
out with over work and irregular habits
until it reached the breaking point rather
suddenly, as perfectly working machines
are apt to do?
John Fiske had an almost unlimited
capital of health and strength. Like many
a man with large financial capital he
thought it was inexhaustible and drew
on it recklessly, until at last he over
drew, and physical bankruptcy follow
ed"
His creed was one in direct conflict
with the advice of physicians. Here is the
way he expressed it:
always sit in a draft when l find
one, wear the thinnest clothes / can find,
winter and summer, catch cold once
in three and four years. but not severe
ly, and prefer to work in a cold room,
SO to 60 degrees. Work the larger part
of each twentyfour hours, and by day or
night indifferently. Scarcely ever change
a word once written, eat when hungry,
rarely taste coffee or wine or smoke a
cigar, but drink two or three quarts of
beer each day and smoke a pipe all the
time when at work.
There is too much sickness abroad,
some due to the wet season, and other
unpreventable causes, but much sickness
comes because men and women do like
Prof Fiske in refusing to be governed by
the rules which science and experience
have shown to be necessary to prevent
disease.

MODEL OFFICIAL.

Tom Johnson is the right kind Of public
officer The Cleveland City Railroad re-
turned its property for taxation at $780,,
900. Mayor Johnson, who is an expert
as to the values of street railway prop
erty, went before the Board of Assessors
and showed that the property was worth
in the markets over six million dollars,
and it was assessed at $6,233 500. Sena-
tor Hanna is the president of the road,
and is therefore shown to be tax dodger
on a large scale.
Mr.. Johnson deserves credit, not alone
for securing fair assessment of property,
but in showing up Mark Hanna as the
ready carrying out portion of the Ohio
platform in the city of which he is the
chief magistrate
MIR. Johnson is consistent too. He has
caused the assessors to increase the val
uation of his home on Euclid avenue from
5000 to $500 foot and will pay taxes on
a valuation of SCI, 800 1t is safe to say
that he will be a very unpopular man in
his ncighborhood for the property of
other citizens must now be increased
If all public officials were of the Tom
Johnson type, the country would enjoy
better government and the tax rate would
be reduced.

$4,000. Since then the business of that

not 10000
There are no newspapers in the State

these properties. The Biblical Recorder
