Character is the foundation of all true
greatness. They alone achieve great
ness who possess this priceless jewel.
No superstructure, however grand, can

storms of life beat upon it, it is des-

ROckefeller'S Mistake
Dealing with Humanity

The testimony of John D.
Rockefeller before the house
mines committee, to the effect
that, while the Rockefeller en-
ployes were engaged in what
amounted to civil war in the Colo
rado coal fields, he was content
to act the part of an absentee en-
ployer, suggests a question.
Which set of men the Sunday
school class he so zealously and
efficiently teaches, or the men in
Colorado who earn Rockefeller
dividends, should be of most in
terest to the Rockefellers?
1t is remarkable spectacle.
Ten thousand horny handed min
ers battling for what they think
are their rights, away off in Colo
RADIO. And their employers
those who profit most from their
labor willing in far away New
York, leaving everything to
trusted managers, although
the results of such a course in
volve starvation, anarchy and
bloodshed.
1t is probable that John D. Jr.,
would have been mildly shocked
had someone suggested to him
that his whole duty to his Sun
day school class would be per-
formed if he should put the stu
dents in charge of trusted teach
ers and absent himself from his
class rooms. That point of view
would not have appealed to him.
simply because he had come to
know those young men person
ally, through contact with them
Sunday after Sunday.
But the thousands of men,
women and children, away in
Colorado of similar flesh and
blood, appeared to him unreal
and negligible. ''Out of sight,
out of mind" Absentee treat
ment was good enough for them.
Absentee employers, like alb
sentee landlords, represent wrong
principle and disastrous results.
The only employer who may be
excused from personal respon-
ibility for his employees is the
man whose physical condition
disables him from keeping in
touch with them. And when
misfortune overtakes thousands
of men, no matter who may be
at fault, society will expect some
better excuse from employers and
profit takers than any the Rookie
fellers offered in this case.

Put Your Cotton Under Shelter.

Farmers at best will get little
enough for their cotton this year.
There is no sense in making this
little still less by simply throw
ing away the money so badly
needed by ones wife and chill
dren, And yet this is what
thousands of farmers are doing
right now by leaving cotton bales
out in the weather. The follow
ing note from a travelenig rep
resentative of The Progressive
Farmer is in accord with our own
observation this year:
81 have never before seen so much
cotton lying out exposed to the wealth
er and to fire. Already the buyers are
complaining of the large quantity OF
damaged cotton that is coming in and
are docking it according. The losses
from this damaged cotton will be enor-
mous unless the farmers take some
better steps to protect their bales from
the weather"

Kindness.

What is it that opens the flood
gates of children's laughter, the
sweetest music in all the world?
1t is kindness. What is it that
gathers the tears of repentant
love, the most priceless of all
earth's many jewels? 1t is kind
ness. What is it that lightens
the burden of WEAKNESS for those
who labor, and soothes the pangs
of those who suffer. and stays
the torture of angry passion, and
calms the storm of lawless rebel
lion? Kindness; it is always
kindness. Kindness breaks down
the unholy barriers that pride
and caste have erected between
man and man. Kindness takes
the sting from failure. Kindness
kindles courageous ambition.
Kindness lifts the unfortunate.
Kindness leads back the way

A Matter of Honesty.

If reports be correct, many peo'
pie whose incomes have not been
in any way whatever curtailed by
the war, salaried men especially
are refusing to pay their bills
merely on the principle, or lack OF
principle, that they prefer to hold
on to their money. Retail deal
ers are suffering very much from
this spirit. 1t is essentially a
robber spirit in taking from the
merchant that to which he has a
right. There are some people who
take the ground that this with
holding of the payment of bills on
the part of salaried people and
those whose income have not been
reduced is one of the primary rea-
sons for the business conditions In
the retail circles of the south and
in other sections as we'll.
Recently a minister in leading
southern city made out a check to
pay a small household bill. His
secretary suggested to him that il
would probably be wise not tc
pay the bill, as nobody was pay
ing bills, Very properly tn

The Art of Living.


among us too short space the
panorama of life and its living was
spread in a fine and true light.
He saw, through much pain and
many struggles, the things that
endure beyond those of this world.
In that brief "creed" of living
which has come to US from Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson are set the
guide posts to a finer conception of
life and it's duties than is contain
ed in many a bulky book.
To some it is a part of what
they know and love; to others it
is unknown.
What is it to you!
''To be honest, to be kind. To
earn a little and to spend q little
less. To make, upon the whole,
family happier for his presence.
To renOunce when that shall be
necessary, and not to be embitter
ed. To keep a few friends, but
these without capitulation-above
all on the same grim condition to
keep friends with himself. Here
is task for all that a man has of
fOrtitude and delicacy."
Here is material for year of
writing and a lifetime of thinking
and doing. For it is, in truth, a
mustard seed of happiness and
helpfulness. q
The art of living is of all hum
an subjects with which we have
to deal the broadest and most bea
tiful. 1t is we'll for men and wo-
men to dip into it as deeply as
their mental equipment and the
stature of their souls will allow.
1t is an art too much neglected
in these hurried days.
The tendency toward material
gain, the craving for position and
personal place, the increasing ap-
petites for fame and fashion, are
all more or less hostile to it's deve-
lopment and growth.
Deserving of the highest and
most prominent place in the cata-
l0gue of human attainments, it is
often made secondary to those far
inferior.
To ''get along'' in the world
seems the shibboleth of the newer
generation, rather than to live mob
| ly and well.
This is not strange, neither is it
a phase of the time to be greatly
feared. As with most things of
the sort, time is needed to right
it-time and the work and words
of those who see above the noun
tain tops Of materialism into the
clear sky Of common sense and the
spirit.
Out of this marsh may grow and
bloom the best flowers of the fut.
ure. The mistakes of today are
the foundation on which we build
the lasting towers of tomorrow.
As with honesty, kindness love
most to dwell in little things.
Both are like the notes of a great
organ, honesty the bass and kind
ness the treble. We cannot see
the player-and his name is legion
but out through the aisles and
naves and transepts of the world
floats the music.
In perfect harmony they glad.
