The Blind Who See

Gen Booth, the venerable head of the Salvation
Army is declared by his physicians to be hopelessly
blind We think that they put it wrongly. Booth is
not hopelessly blind. He has but lost his eyesight
Blindness is the most terrible of all man s phys-
cal Affections, ordinarily, but is it not in the
of this man?
Booth has spent the larger part of his lifetime Of
nearly ninety years in trying to do good to Others He
has not needed eyes to see where help needed.
Eyesight has not determined how to help. Luxury,
worldly ambition have passed by unseen by him, for
his sight was wholly spiritual.
In our mental musings in our dreams, in our best
ambitions, we have vision without the aid Of eyes,
The spiritual sight is strong and never hopeless To
Booth the material things of this earth have long been
very dim and to him whose whole existence has been
50 strongly spiritual the total eclipse Of physical
vision cannot mean much of change ssHopelessly
blindf" Nay, the good old man is one of the blind
who really see!

1860 and 1912

186O---One of the great parties had exercised
power with only two Interruptions for over half a
century, but new and disturbing issues had arisen
They We're issues that went to fundamental questions
and virtually made new alignment that ran right
down through the middle of both parties while their
most advanced expression represented by third
and radical party.
When the long dominant party met in national
convention it could not agree to platform and was
broken into rreconcilabe factions 1t thus went be-
fore the people with two tickets, and was beaten to
rise no more to complete supremacy at least for many
decades
1913-The same--perhaps.

LEVY TAX FOR ADVERTISING
D. C. Priddy Says That The
Burden Of Town Building Should
Be Borne by All

Should cities levy taxes fol
advertising, and thus place the
burden of expense on those who
are benefited directly? ID. C.
Priddy, of Amarillo says yes.
Mr.. Priddy made an address be.
fore the Fifth Annual Institu.
ton of the Commercial Execu-
tive Association, at Wichita
Falls, Texas, last week, in which
he made plea for the co-opera-
ton of every one in building up
the home town."
CUSTOMS OFTEN UNFAIR
MIR. Priddy said, in part:
Il have been told that 1t is not
customary for cities and towns
to levy a tax in order to adver-
tise, but that it is customary for
those who feel like giving
money to advertise the city OF
town to do so. But did you
know that there are many
customary things which are alb
solutely unfair?
1t is customary for some peo-
pie to own great tracts of land
and city property and idly hold
to it until the toll and expendi-
ture of others have increased
its value, the holders thereby
becoming rich. Some say that
this is the proper method. but
| say it is not. In the first
place, this is not based on
honesty, clean principle. and, in
the second place. it takes four
times as long for property to
gain in value in this way as
would be required under con-
certed effort. Can there not be
a law enacted whereby the
citizens may vote to levey a tax
to advertise the city. town or
country? You can't get the
support of all the people TO push
a city, town or country by let
ting everyone do just as he
Dleases.
EXAGGERATED STATEMENTS HURT
Many good people that we
could get, and people that we
need. never even come to see
our country on account of the
exaggerated statements they
read and hear, and for the want
of correct information. Why
not have this advertising go
out from one central head.
with the proper information con-
tanned in it, nicely printed and
illustrated? Those who would
profit most from judicious IN
vestment in advertising should
pay for it.
There is a product of our
civilization, for want of more APP
propriate term, which is known
as Tight Wad." He grows
rich by the efforts and sac
rifices of others. He has lots
and houses that grow from
hundreds into thousands by
railroads. schools and factories
his neighbors buy for him. He
looks in good health and moves
around among his fellow men
without the appearance of being
a receiver of stolen goods. He
gloats over his possessions more
than if they morally belonged to
him. He even takes a pew at
divine worship and joins in song
and praise as if the All-Seeing
Eye has not detected his guilt.
He becomes scared. hardened
stumbling block to all kinds of
progress. When death comes to
him there are no tears. no flow
ers, but a long procession. not
that he is mourned, but that all
want to be SURF he is dead. :
