to reject a proposal merely because il is adj

considering il disregard formulas. II does
not matter in the least who proposes it 5r

good. accept IL; otherwise reject it. There
are plenty of men calling themselves social

The Reward to the Best.

Nc are bound in honor to refuse TO
listen TO those men who would make us
desist from the effort to do away with the
ineouaIfty- which means injustice; the in
equality of right. of opportunity. Of priv
jIege. We are bound In honor to strive
TO bring ever nearer the day when, as far
as is humanity possible, we shall be able to
realize the ideal that each man shall have
an equal opportunity to show the stuff
that is I'm him by the way i'm which he
renders service. There should, so far as
possible be equality of opportunity to
render service; but Just so long as there
is inequality OF service there should and
must be inequality Of reward. We may
be sorry for the general. the painter, the
artist. the worker I'm any profession or OF
any kind whose misfortune rather than
whose fault II is that he does his work ILL.,
But the reward must go to the man who
does his work well: for any other course
Is to create a new kind of privilege. the
privilege of folly and weakness; and special
privilege is injustice. whatever form IL
takes.
To sav that the thriftless. the lazy, the
vicious. the incapable ought 20 have the
reward given to those who are farsighted,
C4pable and upright is to say what is not
true and cannot be true. Let us try 70
level lIp, but let us beware of the evil OF
levelling down. If man stumbles, IL is a
good thing TO help him 10 his feet. Every
one of us needs a helping hand now and
then. But if man lies down, il is a waste
of time to try to carry him: and it is a very
had thing for every one If we make men
feel that the same reward will come to
those who. shirk their work and 10 those
who 90 il.

IRE First Duty OF Man.

Character must show itself iu the man $
performance both Of the duty he owes
himself and Of the duty he owes the state
The mans foremost duty IS owed to him-
self and his family. and he can do this
duty only by earning money, by providing
what is essential 10 material wellbeinE. 1t
Is only after this has been done that he
can hope 20 build A higher superstructure
on the solid material foundation. VI Is only
after this has been done that he can help
in movements for the general vellbeing.
He must pull his OWL weight first. and only
after this can his surplus strength be of
use TO the general public. II Is not good to
excite that bitter laughter which expresses
contempt and contempt is what We feel
for the being whose enthusiasm to benefit
those nearest him. who wishes TO do great
things for humanity in the abstract but
who cannot keep his wife in comfort or
educate his children.
Nevertheless while laying all stress on
this point while not merely acknowled
ing but insisting upon the fact that there
must be basis Of material wellbeing for
the individual. as for the nation, let us
with equal emphasis insist that this mate
rial Wellbeing represents nothing but the
foundation, and that the foundation,
though Indispensable, is worthless unless
upon if Is raised tho sUperstructure Of a
higher life.

The Definition of Fame.

Rochester IN. W Post Express:
Leonard Liebling, of The Musical
Courier, wants to know how fleeting
is fame Shakespeare thinks that, to
be remembered, one must build
churches. Let Mr.. LfebIing build a
church, go away and see IL the janitor
recognizes him five years later IL
that worthy greets him with open arms
and acQuisitive palm, fame is not so
fleeting that he cannot catch 1t at the
end of single lustrum. But 1t Is
highly probable that the janitor will
require to be reminded who he is.
There are other tests. Let him sug-
gest that a composer Is at his best
when his memory is brightest: that
man will remember him with the in
terest of hotel proprietor in a guest
who has skipped his board bill. Or
let him hint that the leading soprano
In his own village has a tendency to
wander from the pitch. Fame will not
be ffeeting then. Fame Is heeting
when a distinguished musician breaks
automobile records; 1t Is lighter than
air when he rises an aeroplane. Fame
stays with its owner when he has a
good mixture in the cerebral carbur-
ettor; but 1t leaves him with a shock
when the spark plug OF Invention gets
foul. If Mr.. Lieb1ing wants to devise
resistance coil for testing fame let
him consult Josef Hofmann; for Jo-
SETS technic is mechanical when he
plays with copper and iron and spirit

old FEUD SETTLED
BY ROCKEFELLERS
QUARREL OF YEARS BETWEEN
JOHN D. AND BROTHER
ENDs-TO BURY Chill
DREN SIDE BY
SIDE.

Cleveland, o., July ga quarrel
was being formed between the
two Rockefeller brothers, John d. and
Frank, has been settled. Oficials of
Lakeview cemetery, where John d.
Rockefeller erected a great monolith
eleven years ago, have reported that
arrangements have been made for the
bodies of Frank Rockefeller's children
to be placed about the gravestone built
for the older brother Today neither
of the brothers would discuss the mat :
ter, Heretofore when it has been suE-
gested that the breach has been seal
ed, one or the other was always anxi-
GUS and seemingly glad TO deny the re-
port.
When John d. Rockefeller first began
the organization of the oil business un
der one head his brother was the own
er of an Independent company. He
was making money and he did not care
to join with his brother in the trust
venture. John ID. Rockefeller insisted.
Finally Frank Rockefeller Joined for
tunes with James Corrigan in the iron
ore business. Part of the money or Sc
curity he advanced was the stock thr
he had been given for his independent
holdings. In the course of business
John d. Rockefeller secured notes that
Corrigan had been given. secured by
this stock, and In law suit the court
awarded him the verdict and the stock
passed to the ownership of John d.
Rockefeller.
For years the feud continued. Eleven
years ago when John ID. Rockefeller
erected the great stone In his cemetery
lot there was much discussion as to
whether or not the bodies of both
brothers children who were dead or
who might die should rest side by side.
Both brothers warmly insisted that
they never should. Until today 1t has
never been limited that the old quarrel
had been settled
