Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1913-12-19

LAST month was celebrated at Leip
sic the centenary of that terrific BAT
tie of the Nations which ended Ma
poleons domination of central Eu
rope. At the same time the American
Electric Railways association was
holding its annual meeting at Atlantic
City. This body represents the EN-
ployment of over 100000 people-a
number about equal to that of the
allied forces at Leipsic. These work,
ers are trained and exercised daily in
steadiness, industry, efficiency; in the
instant recognition OF. fact and skilful
response to the call of duty. BY these
things they live and, so doing, they
play a great part in the life of their
time. The resulting spirit of help
fulness is proved by the action taken
for pensions, insurance and profit
sharing. In comparison with this
triumphant army of peace how fan
tastic is the glory of the men who
met at Leipsic to kill each other Q

It is not generally known that in

ever there is French consul or agent
a special mass, called "the consular
mass" is celebrated once month.

AL the diplomatic corps attend as
well as the representative Of ortho-
dox Russia, and Protestant Germany.
But the mass is always presided over
by the French consul The latter is

Pacific which itself brought, him much
over Mr.. Mellen's upper Limit.
So, as economists agree that the
worth of thing is what it will bring
there you are!
But old Chauneey M. Depew, who
was president Of the New York Central
railroad SO many years ago that most
Of US have forgotten all about it, has a
shrewd analysis of the situation.
Mr. Mellen's statement would be all
right if there was a superabundance of
$4,000 year men, said the famous
senator and orator recently. But, as
q matter Of fact. the kind Of talent
needed by big corporations Is exceed
ingly rare.
THE question of salary is not the
paramount one.
The real question is the worth OF
men Of extraordinary genius. The
great executive who can put corpora
ton on Its feet is genius. There
ought not to be any limit to the salary
OF such man. Some men with good
regulations have sent promising cor
porations to the wall. The man with
the real capacity would have put them
on their feet. Why, then, should there
be any limit to the financial worth OF
the latter?
Take Colonel Goethals, for instance.
There's man who expedited the work
on the Panama canal and saved the
government probably 100000 900. An
other man would have delayed the
work five years and added 100000
600 to the cost Think Of the value OF
such man to a private corporation.
In fact:
Salaries don't cut any ice!''
And they don't. When corporation
OF great size wants a worthy execu-
tive the problem isn't how can we
pay his salary" but where can we
find such a man." And the $4,000 a
year man could usually induce his
company to double his salary rather
than let him go. But that kind Of
man doesn't ordinarily deal in such de-
mands.

posure Of life insurance workings It

quently ten, 20 or even 30 feet in
height To one who sees such an ac-
emulation of snow for the first time
1t seems impossible that any pillow,
even the most improved rotary, can
penetrate it. With rash and =
plunge the great pillow Is hurled into
the mass of frigid Wilderness. Black
clouds of smoke pour from the en-
gines, and the huge blades Of the ro-
tary begin to eat into the drift The
snow shoots out Of the orihce at the
side OF the pillow. AS it is distributed
1t forms an immense white semi-cir-
Gle which is constantly moving on
ward, showing the progress Of the
plow.
Slowly the rotary excavates its way
forward, and finally the pillow and its
engines are buried in trench OF
white. Only the smokestacks can be
seen, and they continue to belch forth
iHky clouds that settle in a coat Of
smudge upon the snowfield. The
great white semicircie moves steadily
onward and in the course of time 1t
becomes apparent that the drift Is be-
Ing conquered. 1t is eventually over
come. and the passengers ON the reg
ular express train which passes that
way few hours later knows nothing
Of the snow battle that has made their
further progress possible. They may
discover that they are moving rapidly
through narrow canyon whose wallis
are snow, but they do not realize the
mighty force that has enabled them
to cross the ridge OF the continent.
1t is the element Of the unexpected
that sometimes adds largely to the Sc
robustness of these occasions. At the
passes over the great divide adequate
provision against trouble has been
made, and long blockades are few.
Now and then, however word comes

force its passage through snow accu-
mutation 100 miles or more from the
nearest rotary pillow. Then there ID
CONSERVATION indeed. To get pillow
to the blockaded train viii take time,
but it laust be done. In the meantime
the drift may be growing on the I'M
used road, and each hour is bringing
fresh menaces to railroad men and
alike.
When a rotary pillow itself is caught
in snow blockade the situation be-
comes even more complicated. Such
instances are rare. but it has hap
pened Such thing can only be pos
sible through the carelessness Of some
workman. for a rotary pillow with suf-
