RESOLN ED.
An Honest Appointment
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer
The appointment by President Taft
last week, of DR.. j. 4. Holmes as
director OF the Bureau of Mines, is of
rational political interest, because of
Secretary Ballinger's enmity TO him
and of Holmes well-knOwn friend
ship for Clifford Pinchot. 1t is OF
peculiar interest to North Carolina.
because DR.. Holmes belongs to the
North Carolina family, having been
Tor Il long time State Geologist.
Some OF the papers seem to view DR..
Holmes appointment in the light of
a placatlng measure to the Pinchot
faction. However, The Chronicle does
not share in that opinion. 1t believes
the appointment was made on merit.
1t believes that President Taft
was honestly casting about for the
man best equipped for that position
and found him in DR.. Holmes. In
other words, it thinks that the ap-
pOlntment of DR.. Holmes was an
honest one.

The GOLD LEAF has afOretime
commented on and commended
the "Resolves' accompanying the
Buster Brown colOred comic page as
published in some of the Sunday
papers. These resolutions are inva-
riably good, sometimes better than
at Others OF course, and there is q
philosophy about them that is re-
ireshing and wholesome. The one
published last Sunday is especially
good and timely in view of the open
ing of the schools this week and next.
Here 1t is and we commend it to both
parents and children:
RESOLVED.
That education is n wonderful thing.
Send your boy to school and the other
boys will educate him" Send him to
college and when he gets out he can 90
to work for the man who didn't have
time to go to college" Education is
not hook learning. The best educated
man Is the man who is the most useful. -
Book learning furnishes us with the tools
to get knowledge. SchOolingis only the
foundation OF education Remember that
experience Is the best teacher and that
learning is no good unless youcan apply

Is n religion that you cannot apply to
your every day life and what good is an
education that you cannot use knowl-
edge Is power, and learning helps us to
get knowledge. So does work.

humanity lost friend 1t lost a
man who had spent his money in its
behalf, and who, above all else. enter
tanned healthy thoughts and who
had sent forth sound utterances.
He believed in the toiling masses,
and one OF his striking ideas was
that the bricklayer was more valuable
to community than the educated
idler. Without doubt, this idea Is
full OF every day human nature, and
Is applicable to hundreds Of COM
munities. where are found educated
idlers, but the point is to make these
idlers realize it Every community
has its educated man, who would
rather boast OF his blood and try
and impress folks with what he knows
than to be doing something, not
only for the good of other people,
but for his own good. Such an in
dividual is drawback to any COM
