OIL KINGS GOLDEN WEDDING
Jubilee Spoiled BY Taxes
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept s.-To-
day is John D. Rockefeller's golden
wedding anniversary and for the
first time in years the Rockefellers
arc not celebrating the occasion Of
their marriage at Forest Hill, their
Cleveland home The oil king and
his wife had always marked the day
quietly here. Always there were a
few old friends to call who knew the
worlds richest couple when they
lived in a modest home on a street
which is now in the heart of the bust
ness district A family dinner with
total lack Of formality, was usually
followed by talks of days when Cleve-
land was only a small lake town. The
day was generally concluded by a
ridc or stroll over the Forest Hill
grounds.
Today Forest Hill IS deserted ex-
cept for a few watchmen and care
takers. Weeds grow rank in the
fence corners. There are boards over
the doors and windows of the "old
homestead" and the golf links are
Cvergrown with stiff grass. The few
cid friends here sent notes OF con-
gratulations TO TarrytOwn, n. y,
where the rich paintings and trea-
sures which formerly decorated the
Forest Hill mansion have been sent

sailor, and doubtless was worried be-
cause the nag instead of guiding her

ter having been a shepherd; HE was

Long service in the schoolroom tends
to unfit a man for anything else, be-
cause he is likely to become dictator
ial and critical, if not downright tyr
annical. The workaday world is not
going to gulp down, in the pretended
wide-eyed amazement and assumed adj
miration of the schoolboy, the stale
jokes and the old tales of the profess
sor.
Long service in the pulpit so estab-
fishes mans reputation for unworld-
Illness that if he quits preaching the
people will say that he is gone to the
bad, unless perchance he has married
a rich widow and throat trouble sub
sequently develops. Now and then, of
course, a man who has made a failure
as a minister becomes a successful
real estate dealer; but it never sounds
just right when, after having sold
for $4,000 a lot that cost $4,000, the
ex-minister declares to his patron:
Brother, you are getting a bargain in
this"
Politics, digging, and begging-with
apologies to some politicians, diggers,

German soldiers to Liege and the vi
entity justifies the expectation that a
great battle may be expected within
the next day or two. 1t may take place
within a comparatively few hours 1t
is within the possibilities that the
greater part of the war will be fought
in Belgium, a country that intended to
remain neutral and would have re-
manned so in all probability, if Ger
many hadn't violated its morality By
attempting to cross its territory into
France
1t was clearly Germany's purpose to
crush the French armies as soon as
possible and take possession of the
French capital, hoping thus to put
France practically out of the fighting.
Then, leaving Russia to be dealt with
by Austria, she would be comparative
ly free to cope with England. The Wig
orous resistance offered by Belgium,
however, to the crossing of her terri
tory upset her plans 1t will be the
effort of France and England to pre-
vent her from getting into France at
all, at least by way of Belgium, and
any other route has great disadvant-
ages.
1t is too much to expect that after
one great battle the nations engaged
in the war will accept President VIII
sons offer of mediation. Nevertheless
if the battle should be extremely dis
astrous for one side or the other the
question of mediation will doubtless
receive some attention. The fact that
the Bank of England on Friday reduc-
ed its discount rate to 5 per cent.
means that England has plenty of gold
and is strong financially, but it might
be construed to mean that she expects
the war to be a short one.

The Duty of the Cotton Farmer

A duty which the cotton farmers owe
to the, country, to their section of the
country, to their neighbors and to
themselves at the present time is to
hold their cotton for the next thirty or
sixty days. 1t may turn out that they
need not hold it so long. The avenues
to the markets of Europe may be open
ed in less than thirty days. If they
should be then they can market their
cotton as they please. They will oe
under no obligation to anybody to
hold it.
But just now the committee of con-
gressmen that is striving to open the
way for it to the markets of Europe
to get the necessary transportation
for it and to have it properly safe
guarded-asks them to hold it, and it
says that in its judgment the agencies
that are handling the problem will
make it possible for the cotton crop to
be marketed without sacrifice, and the
Agricultural Department and the cot
ton merchants and the bankers advise
that it be held for the present 1t is the
duty of the cotton farmers to join with
those who are trying to aid them il
making the efforts for the marketing
of the crop at a profitable price a sue
cess.
By following the advice that is be-
ing given them the chances are that
they will save themselves from heavy
financial loss and bring into the coun
try, and especially the South, many
millions of dollars more than if thev
dump their cotton on the market as
fast as it is picked.
And there is no reason why they
should hurryit to market. 1t is good
collateral and they can get money on
it. Those who cannot can sell only
enough to meet their most pressing
needs. There need be no fear tha
there will not be money to buy all tbs
cotton that is offered as soon as tbs
way is opened for getting the cottor
to the consumers. There is plenty o
money to be had So the wise Trims
for the cotton farmers to do is TO hole
on to their cotton, confident that thu
situation will soon work itself out il
, way that will be for their benefit

The News Caterers

Harper's Weekly pays well-deserv-
ed compliment to the newspaper work
ers. The reporter of news is often
damned if he does and damned if he
doesn't" The public are singularly
ignorant of the hardships under which
he works and is often unreasonable
exacting. The Boss finds fault whe !
there is fault to find and seldom
praises, but the reporter, if he is a
good one, keeps right on at his work
with a devotion to his calling that is
somewhat like the love of the early
Christians for their church.
Harper's says of the reporter:
His service is rendered under hard
conditions, for little pay, and the credit
for his achievements goes to the paper
for which he works. Yet there could
hardly be more useful work, for
without accurate and untainted news a
democracy cannot govern itself"
The tendency in nearly every news
paper Office is to give the public a Sc
lected food for thought. This ideal the
reporter is not in sympathy with l.
is sually the Boss of the paper VITO,
through his own especial hobbies, or
under secret and special influences os
interests without the shop, sometimes
throws the reporters best stories into
the scrap basket.
Harper's declares that eve ourselves
have been hammering on the problem
of a free and fearless press for years
and the most hopeful aspect of the
whole situation appears in the devotion
and courage of the reporters in gath
ering and presenting pure news" To
quote: "It is this stubborn sense Of
honor this pride of craft on the part
of therank and file of reporters. 1t re-
fuses to be crushed by any weight of
arbitrary power When people wake
to the fact that they are being buncied
by many INSCRIPTIONS publishers aaG
demand pure news, they will find that
the reporters are with them"
Three cheers for the newsgatherers.
Upon them rests a great responsibility
to the public. Accurate news and
plenty of it makes a fine paper; it
does better, it helps to make an en-
lightened, intelligent community, and
as Harper's has so truly said, it en-
ables a democracy to govern ITSELF

By Wightman F. Melton, in Exchange.
TOO ignorant to teach, not good
enough to preach, too conscientious to
go into politics, too lazy to dig, and
too proud to beg-so there's nothing
left for me to do but to write life in
surance." This is the concluding SEN
tence Of a letter from a friend who
has spent the first half of his life as a
bookkeeper, and now for the sake of
his health must go West and get out
in the open.
Poor jim! l am sorry for him be-
cause he underestimate some Of his
attainments and qualities and everes-
Inmates others. Jim thinks he is too
ignorant to teach and yet he reads
we'll, writes well, and is a fine mathe-
matician. What he probably means is
'"Readin,' 'ritin', arithmetic" these
three; but the greatest Of these is
tact Jim knows he hasn't the neces-
sary tact for teaching, but he humbly
terms it lack of knowledge.
Jim says he is not good enough to
preach. Again he is mistaken. His
life, private and public, is free from
any faint. He is a humble Christian
and a model citizen. Jim believes,
however, in the good, old-time idea Of
a divine call to the ministry, but hum
bly, regards himself as lacking in
goodness.
Jim says he is too conscientious to
go into politics. Mistaken again.
Many good men in positions high and
low have devoted years of service to
their country as politicians and states
men, and have come out as they went
in-with conscience clear. Jim just
means that he does not know how to
get into politics honestly.
Jim says he is too lazy to dig. An
other mistake The diggers who do
most work and hold out longest are
those who swing the pick te the time
of funeral march and keep at it.
Jim means that he is not physically
able to dig
Jim says that he is too proud to
beg. He is half right here. He would
work all day and beg all night, if nee
essary, for the poor and the sick; but
he would gnaw the bark from a sour
wood tree before he would beg for
himself. If Jim is anything, he is in
dependent.
Probably Jim's biggest mistake is
in believing that when the salt has
lost his SAVIOR it is good for nothing
but to be cast out into the life insur-
ance business. Wisdom and goodness,
conscientiousness, energy, and pride
are prime requisites of an insurance
man.
Jim's general idea that in middle life
it is difficult to change ones profess
sion is sane and true. "You cannot
teach an old dog new tricks" Chauc-
er's shipman, riding gray nag in the
Canterbury pilgrimage, was still 4

Belgium the Battlefield

All the signs point to a great battle

naval battle and the exact positions Of
the English, French and German fleets
