earliest history for most frivolous
reasons, and often the destroyer of
a temple is remembered long after
the builder has been forgotten.
Therefor the writer dares assume
that many men now forgotten were
really greater than many whose
names have lived in history. Nor
can we judge by deeds alone as
many of the greatest deeds in
history were accomplished by men
whose bad qualities outnumbered
their good. But, some nearer
says. you must not include the
private life of the individual in
the summing up of his achieve
ments. We know that custom de-
mands that we place our hero upon
a pedestal, and draw he mantle of
charity around that inner life
which will not bear inspection.
We allow more than one kind of
poetical license; genius is at liber-
ty, to prostitute itself to base pas
sions aud "the king can do no
wrong
The writer takes exception to
this rule and holds that in measur-
ing great men we should inquire
into motives as we'll as praise re-
suits. This inquiry should be
made with all due allowance for
the custom of the times. In Eng
land two hundred years ago drunk
enness was not a disgrace, and in.
stead of being frowned upon was
encouraged by clergy and state,
and in the highest circles a great
capacity for liquor was an envied
honor. So in judging the men of
that day the drunkenness of an
Addison or Steel does not ap-
pear as bad as when viewed by
later standards.
In war many great deeds have
been accomplished by generals
lacking in real patriotism; in
craftsmanship scores of beneficial
acts have been passed thru the in
fuence of some fawning court
favorite, who was working solely
for self-advancement with no other
motive than to serve his own sell
fish ends. If the measure resulted
in some good to the country, must
he be called great who passed the
measure for personal and not pub
lie reasons? We argue not and
hold that the CRATER in present
politics who is paid to pass a bill
which ultimately proves beneficial
to the masses, has as much claim
to greatness. It is this applica-
ton of the inquiry into motive
which causes the brilliancy of
many so.styled great men to fade
SO quickly after death and which
brings truly great men to fame
long after they have passed away.
altho they may have lived in OBJ
livion and unrewarded, their great
ness not understood or appreciated
during life.
Now as to the private life OF
noted men. In the field of litera-
ture and art, perhaps, more than
any other we must overlook per-
sonal faults and even vices in
order to admire the beautiful work

Paper Read Before the Chuutauqua Circle.
IN HISTORY, literature and
everyday conversation the term
"a Great Man" is 80 freely
applied to men who have been
merely prominent or famous in
war, craftsmanship, the field OF
letters or bypaths of commerce
that it does not have the same
significance to the writer which it
produced at one time. This man
may be great general, yet possess
no more brains or bravery than
scores of common soldiers in his
command. Another is great
poet whose brilliant lines are on a
thousand tongues for centuries,
but his private life may be un-
speakable and his genius but little
removed from madness. We read
of a great statesman who has
safely piloted his country thru
some crisis which threatened it's
downfall, and if our admiration
leads us to closer study of this
wonderful man. we find our idol
has feet of clay, that he was not
noble enough to refuse a bride. In
commercial life from the earliest
times we find that success and
honor were often won and the term
"Great Man" frequently applied
to those who were not above trick
cry and questionable methods.
Take John Churchill, Duke of
Marlborough of two hundred years
ago, one of England's greatest
soldiers, whose decendents are yet
honored in that country. This
duke is described by one writer as
model fighting machine. "Cold,
calm and resolute like fate, he was
the same before victory, danger or
defeat. He did not know what
fear was and was no more moved
by the game of war than that of
billiards. Yet his character was
bad; che had heart for neither
love nor hatred, and told false
hood as easily as he paid compli-
ment; could draw upon tears or
smiles alike and achieved the
highest deed of daring. as we'll as
the meanest action a man is capa-
BILE Of" It is a notorious fact that
the duke was during part of his
life in the pay of both sides, and
he was traitor who would sell
his best friend or his soul for
wealth and power. Yet we cannot
doubt his genius as leader; he
planned many glorious cam
paign and inspired wonderful
courage in his followers. In the
words of Addison he
INSPIRED repulsed battalions to engage.
| And taught the doubtful battle where to rage"
Marlborough we consider an ex-
ample of many who, but for some
fatal defect in character. might
have become one of the truly
great. He was in high favor at
court and in position to do much
for England.
This leads up to our subject.
What is the measure of greatness ?
By what are we to measure great
mon? Surely not by the endur-
ance of their fame, as some names
have been handed down from

of the individual. Ruskin would
not have US overlook single vice
as he held that men treat their
subjects nobly only when they
themselves become noble; not un-
til then It is true that flashes
of wit and brilliancy may make
q man courted during his life as
was Ben Jonson. The irony OF a
Swift who 'scorned all mankind,
himself not the least Of ALL may,
thru the fear of that irony, find
himself suppsd and dined. But
for lasting fame and true great
ness much more is required.
We have always held that much
of the power of Dante's poems,
which have outlived those of many
more brilliant mind, is on ac-
count of the grand character of the
writer. Dante was in every re-
spect noble man, one who bore
exile with fortitude and poverty
without repining. His ideal of
women expressed in Beatrice was
a lofty one and his patriotism un-
questioned. It is said that Dante's
influence in politics is felt in Italy
to this day.
Turning to other fields of en-
deavor we find many famous, bril-
liant men stranded among the
near great who with their brains
and opportunities might have &C.
complished anything, but for some
fatal defect in character. And we
believe this is the answer to the
subject of this paper: True great
ness can only be measured by
nobility or moral character. We
do not believe that credit should
be withheld from anyone who has
earned it, but we do object to the
indiscriminate application Of the
term "Great Man." and when we
do apply the term, character must
be considered, "for therein true
greatness lies"
The preachers say there is no
perfect man, and the ladies say
che is all fault who has no fault
at ALL" So we do not ask for per-
lection in our great man, but we
do demand character. We do not
believe that the character test will
lessen the number whom we can
call great, but rather add to it.
True, many prominent and famous
men would not be eligible to the
roll of honor, but we might find
any number of less prominent fig
ures who have by self-sacri6ce and
honorable adherence to right prin-
cipals done much for their country
and who have done more in a quiet,
unpretentious way to earn the
title of Great Man than many who
have won the name by sheer luck
pressed at the proper moment.
Popularity is often mistaken for
greatness. A man may catch the
ear of the public and by the power
of oratory win empty applause,
but it is the man of character who
touches the public thought. The
influence of Carlyle, who was a
man of character, and who suffered
poverty and oblivion for forty
years rather than sacrifice prin-
ciple, Will be felt when other
writer's of that century are for
gotten. On the other side the
fact that Poe was of weak char
acter does not lessen the value or
detract from the beauty of his
verses, but Poe with moral cour-
age might have accomplished much
more and risen much higher, as
he was gifted man. Byron and
Poe by genius can satisfy the ear
and our love of poetry, but to leave
an indelible impression upon the
world it takes u Dante or Milton.
A brilliant, daring mind gives Us

THE department Of state at Wash.
ington Is well known for its exclusive

department to a reporter, "and that Is
particularly the case with respect to
changes in the classified force of the
department. There were a number of
promotions there last week. | heard a
newspaper man ask for the changes
for publication. He was told they
would not be given out. Knowing that
such was contrary to the practice of
other executive departments, | asked
one OF the officials the reason for Sc
crecy, and what do you think was the
explanation? Why, simply that some
of the clerks were in debt to local
merchants and did not want them to
know that their salaries had been in,
creased for fear that they would be
called upon to settle. Some people
may think that a good reason for Sc
crecy, but to my mind it was a good
reason for publicity. The heads of the
departments have been frequently
urged to compel delinquent clerks to
settle their just debts, and while, as a
rule, they have declined to interfere, |
never before heard of an instance
where the. department thought it neces-
sary to assist the employees in the
