PLAIN MORALITY.

Isn't it strange that people know
what is right, and know they do
wrong, and yet become so blinded to
the folly of their own course, that
they do not recognize the inevitable
evil consequences of their own wrong
doing as their own handIwork? This
is peculiarly true of the citizen, who
sees the evil in our politics, and tries
to efface 1t without removing the
cause, which lies in his own heart
The trouble is we fail to apply sim
PIE ethics, elemental morals to the
everyday problems of our govern
ment and business. While the whole
country Is cropping for some complex
system OF reform, the great universe
ties and pubiicists are teachfng sim
pie morality. That Is what DR.. Guy
Carleton Lees lecture last night
amounted to.
No one should stay away from the
other two. because he thinks DIR. Lee
will say something ne knows already.
DIR. Lee Is talking about something
we all ought to know. We under
stand ethics as applied to other peo-
pie and other classes; but we are far
sighted on moral questions. II is
more difficult to understand moral
principles as they apply to ourselves
We can see in our relations to the
government an element OF self-sacrl-
flee, which the other fellow apparent
ly escapes. We excuse ourselves by
conjecturing what the other fellows
would do in our places. There does
enter the element of sacrifice of the
individuals interests for the welfare
OF the whole body, and II applies TO
the other fellows case as much as to
our own. only we do not understand
his circumstances, and he does not
know ours.
We must apply the moral code to
our actions as citizens and business
men. We must live by the gol fen
rule. We must sacrifice our self-'n-
terest when the interest of the com
munity is at stake. That Is a Lesson
trades union men are learning with
m their organization. Bye and bye
let us hope. their attitude toward the
union will be copied in their and all
citizens attitude toward the state
and then we may hope for reform

men do their duty.

The man who succeeds must fill his job full

Every successful store has its trademark whether
the merchant knows il It's advertising and its
service have created public sentiment in its favor
which neither fire nor time can obliter-

and saw the management of the cam
paign from the Southern side, he is
better authority than Percy Gregg, Or
any other outsider
l think Mr.. Todd does Gen. Sheri-
dan injustice when he intimates that
it was fear of Early that caused the
famous ride from Winchester I
thought scared men galloped away
from the battlefield, rather than into
it.
There is story which explains how
Little Phil happened to be caught
mapping that time, but it isn't fit to
print. There is also a story of how
Old Jube let the victory slip out of
his hands. If Mr.. Todd will ask one
of Early's old soldiers, he will learn
what it is.
Monocacy was brilliant victory,
but Gordon and his division won it.
Let Mr.. Todd write to that superb
soldier, Gen. Clement A. Evans, At
lanta, Ca, and ask if that isn't fact.
(My dear old friend Jack Roberts
was there, and saw Gen. Evans when
that officer was shot out of his sad
dle.)
Cedar Creek ought also to have
been a browning triumph, but Gen.
Early could not be persuaded to let
General Gordon finish the job, as he
pleaded for orders to do.
General Thomas L. Rosser COM
manded Early's cavalry in that cam
paign, and he, like Gordon, is good
authority on Early's generalship.
There is a well-known letter of Ros-
ser's to Early in which the lieutenant
says to his chief,
You are an honest man and a pa
triot, but God never cut you out for
a general
No; Sheridan was not afraid of
Early, but there was soldier that he
stood in wholesome dread of-the
Confederate private. Sheridan knew
from bloody experience that, no mat
ter how poorly handled, the Confeder-
ate private was an ugly customer to
tackle. And Sheridan, with his over
whelming numbers manifested a eau
ton in attacking Early's little army,
which is the highest possible tribute
to the heroes in gray.
BY the way, Mr.. Todd, the Con-
federate soldiers were famous for the
accuracy with which they sized up
their generals. 1t didn't take JOHNNY
Reb long to find out the difference be-
tween a Magruder and a Lee, a Hood
and Johnston. Now, how did Earlys
soldiers size up their commander?
That is the supreme test.
Turn to page 331 of Gordon's
"Reminiscences" where he describes
the arrival of Kershaw's division of
South Carolina troops, a reinforce
ment to Early from Lees army.
Cheer after cheer came from their
husky throats," etc. 1t was Early's
men greeting the newcomers.
