TWO MEN.

b. Press dispatches last week told Of
two men in this country who are often
in the public mind. They are John d.
Rockefeller and Thomas 4. Edison.
The articles had something to say
about the personal finances of these
gentlemen.
1t was gathered that neither of them
knows just exactly what his yearly net
income is. Mr.. Rockefeller doesn't
know for the reason that the figures
have got too big TO be carried with any
certainty I'm the mind. A few million
dollars one way or the other would
not surprise him.
And Mr.. Edison smiled as he re-
marked that he would be glad to tell
his net income II he only had the fig
ures. Evidently he wasn't sure that
he had any net income. The factor tina
puzzled him was that he never knows
Just how much OF his income he spends
in making experiments. However, he
has a notion that is a pretty large sum
for man OF his means; and this caus-
ed him TO remark that perhaps he will
have TO die TO get net income that
amounts to much. The idea is that
when he Is gone the experimenting will
cease. and then there will be a chance
for his estate TO 90 ahead and accumu-
late something
These are the two men. John ID.
Rockefeller and Thomas a. Edison. In
4 way OF living. in their views on the
outlook and opportunities OF life, they
are as far apart as men can be. What
appeals TO one IS impossible" to the
other. And yet both are men who have
got the attention Of the world; and Il
Is because each in his way IS a Won
derful performer.
They afford an illustration OF the old
saw that Il takes many kinds OF people
TO make an interesting world.

The death OF Senator Bacon re-
moves one OF the few real old time
southern democrats from the senate.
While he was especially versed in in
ternational law and his judgment on
problems growing out of foreign rela-
lions was held in high respec. by both
sides of the chamber. he also welded
a conservative influence on many
other subjects at times when conser-
vatism was needed He was a pol
ished gentleman and a sincere patriot.
His reelection as senator by direct vote
OF the people. the first under the new
constitutional amendment. indicated
that he was esteemed as highly by the
Georgia electorate as he was by his
