WHY THE TARIFF

If the tariff is to exist for the protec
tion and betterment of business, says
Arthur /. Street in Success Magazine in
an article entitled Tariff Making by
Barter and Sale,' we must find what
business is to do, or is doing, for the
protection and betterment of govern
ment, lest, should it be doing nothing,
presently there will be only business
and no government. If men are to In.
sist that the national machinery be
used to erect around them a wall
through which nothing shall penetrate
that can be found within the wall, we
must learn where they propose to get
the funds wherewith that wall shall be
erected and maintained. If men, or
even the constituencies which are be-
hind them anl which elect them, are to
insist that measures of revenue and
protection are only a grand swap, a
horse trade, a survival of the shrewd-
est, we must find what these men and
these constituencies propose to bring
forth as the price of admission to the
game they desire to play. If still 9th
ers prefer to wipe out the impost al
together and ask business to rest upon
its own feet, unaided and unpaternal-
lied, we must solicit that they, too,
give us their scheme for raising reve-

TAKE a VACATION

1t is said no one really knows his own
country until he views it from abroad.
No man gets the true perspective of his
life until he gets away from his usual
routine and gets "a new, fresh view
point from outside, says Orison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine.
No great artist will attempt to work
constantly on his masterpiece until 1t
is finished. He works while his facul-
ties are sharp, fresh and gripping; but
the moment his ideal begins to dim or
his energies to lag, he quits, because
he knows that every bit of work ne
does while his thought is not fresh and
vigorous will be inferior and will only
injure his picture.
A great many men bury themselves
so completely in their work. keep their
noses so closely to the grindstone, that
they cannot get the proper perspective
of their situations. They work hard,
but they work to a disadvantage, be-
cause they do not see their business in
it's entirety They do not mix with the
people in their own line. They cannot
do the right thing, because they are not
in q position to get a broad view or
their affairs.
MANY men who spend too many hours
a day in their offices get into the habit
of wasting a great deal of time with
callers - talking, doing all sorts OF
things outside of Observation-Disclosures the
man who spends only few hours in
his office is obliged to attend strictly
to business from the moment he enters
until he leaves Everybody knows that
his time is precious and that people
who call upon him must be brief. The
result is that he makes his time count
and often accomplishes more in the
few hours than the man who spends
eight or nine hours each day in his Of
flee. The modern method is to do the
actual business with dispatch, making
every minute count and then go out
and play with as much enthusiasm as
one had previously put into his work.

HENRIETTA CR0SMAN WINS
SUCCESS BY YEARS OF WORK

Henrietta Crosman, the popular star
who comes to the Mason opera house
for one week. beginning August 80, in
her most recent comedy success Anti
Matrimony," bv Percy MacKaye. has
career that stands out in bold ar
tistic relief, for she has played almost
every part known to the drama, and
her stellar position was won by years
of faithful apprenticeship to her pro-
fession.
Coming from a military family, the
male members of which had served
their country with distinction for gem
erations Miss CroSman discovered in
her youth that she had a voice of
operatic quality and, on the advice of
a vocal expert, was sent to Paris to
study for the lyric stage. But hen
hopes for an operate career were shat
tered when she strained vocal chord,
causing a light break in her upper
register.
On her return home she secured
position with a stock company in
Pittsburg, playing many parts until
she attracted the attention of Bart
ley Campbell, then a leading producer,
who engaged her for part in The
White Slave" Before the season was
over she was playing the principal
role. Several years of stock followed
in Chicago, San Francisco, Denver and
then she became member OF
Charles Frohman's comedians the
leading permanent dramatic organiza-
ton of a dozen years ago. Here she
rose by degrees until she became the
leading woman of the company, and
her success in "Wilkinson's Widows"
and "Gloriana," in which she toured
the company under the Frohman man
agement, ripened her for stellar hon
ors.
The romantic drama was then be-
coming popular, and Maurice Camp
bell, her present manager, secured her
name to contract to star in mis-
tress Nell" She first appeared in this
in New York in 1901, and her success
was one of the most emphatic in the
history of the stage. For over year
this play ran in New York, and two
years on the road She then broke the
record for a continuous Shakesperian
run in New York by appearing in AS
You Like IT, for nearly six months.
Her Rosalind was pronounced an ideal
interpretation Sweet Kitty Bellairs"
was her next play, and since then she
has produced 1.-THE Sword of the King"
'The Country Girl" "All-of-a- Sudden
Peggy" MARY, Mary, Quite Con-
trary," Joan O. the Shoals" 1.-The
Christian Pilgrim" and SHAM"
"Anti-Matrimony, her present play,
IS from the pen of that master crafts-
man, Percy MacKaye, and is prob
ably the best comedy she has ever
had. In fact, it is in this play that
she will appear when she opens her
engagement in London next season.

BROTHERS, SHALL THEY GO HUNGRY?

Dear Sunny South Brotherhood: We thank
you with all our poor troubled hearts for the dol
lar you sent us. 1t was SMALL but did us lot of
good in our poor, helpless condition. Our poor
mother who has stood by faithfully trying to
keep the wolf from the door, has been confined to
her bed for four months, but good Lord is
sparing her to be with yet. When He calls her
to that bright home above | and my little shut-in
sister will be cast out into this world cold and
hungry, without home, father mother and
one to look to but friends who have a heart to
sympathize with poor shut-ins. This is written
by trembling hand, and with a sad heart
BURTNEY BAREFOOT, R-2, -Four Oaks, N G.
(Ths little letter, written with pencil on
scrap of paper by trembling hand is surely one
to rouse the sympathy and open the hearts and
purses even of those who mistakenly believe that
we are fighting Foreign Missions When cry
like this goes up from our very midst must
hear it, no matter what beliefs. It's not
question OF belief; it's question of HUMANITY.
Are you human? Is it blood that's pumping
through your heart? Read that letter again. and
think of the position it places you in before the
Christ of Lazarus. If Burtney Barefoot and his
sick mother and crippled sister had lived in Syria
nineteen hundred years ago, and had made that
appeal to Jesus what would He have done? And
what will YOU do?-DADDY JIM

Miss Sheppard heads her letter: GA mite of
counsel from one of the multitude, which, how
ever will doubtless prove entirely devoid Of wis
DOM The "counsel'' proved to be just the very
thing that was needed Here is the letter: when
work has been proven to be good it seems to
that the next step would be toinsure it's permanency
so that it might not perish should it's founder and
leader fall Those who love their nation love
first, | am convinced, their community,
county and state, and they who save the nation
must begin the work of rescue at home. AS the
Brotherhood increases, the burden of receipt and
distribution will, in my opinion, grow ntolerable
for an individual: so that l would suggest that
county clubs be formed whose duty shall be to
look after the sick and destitute within their
borders, and report to their official organ monthly
My belief is that the churches should take up this
work; but in order to secure harmonious
operation the plan would have to come in an
other guise and from another source I may be
lacking in practical wisdom but I've been think
ing for some time each county should establish
within it's own borders it's orphanages, asylums
hospitals and other charitable institutions; and
in the work Of the Brotherhood l see possible
