J. L. Stephens Almost Recovered From
His Long Illness.

]. L. Stephens enjoyed his first
stroll yesterday morning after his
long illness at Parker Memorial Hos
pital. where he has been suffering
from typhoid fever. Mr.. Stephens has
practically recovered and within a
few days will have regained sufficient
strength to leave the hospital per-
manently.
Next Saturday l will watch the
Tigers defeat Texas" said Mr.. Steph-
ems. who is one of Columbia's most
enthusiastic football rooters and who.
until this year. has always been press

football mass meetings. Until this
fall Mr.. Stephens had missed only one
football game played by the Tigers
on the home field. That was a game
with Grinnell College played here in
the SOS.

THE OTHER MANS VIEWPOINT.

No man is big enough to have mon
opoly of the worlds ideas. This old
ball we call world is a pretty big
thing. and there are things on it ga
lore 1t is, therefore, inevitable that
many of our views should go contrary
tC those of the other fellow, and it is
just as probable that the other fellow
is on the right track as you. The fact
that you think or believe a certain way
is not guarantee that you are right.
To think so is rank egotism.
We can all learn from each other. In
some :hings children are our greatest
TEACHERS Even birds and animals can
and do teach us lessons, that is, if we
are not too set in our opinions to let
them. You will recall what the Good
Book says: Consider the lilly" go
to the ant "a little child shall lead
them Here is an injunction that by
inference men are advised to study ma
ture, anG through nature acquire wis
dom. If this he true then how much
more abuIIant is the reason for study
ing our fellow man that we may learn
and acquire wisdom through him.
In every man there are hereditary
inhGcLc"s, 10 which if added his en-.
yir0nrleI Is. experience, education and
detectives, you have a formidable ar
ray of Influences that go to make up
his viewpoint. His ideal may be di
reetly opposed TO yours, and more than
this he may be your rival in some bust
ness enterprise There may be occa-
sion for friction, but it should never
be the occasion for the disregarding of
his viewpoint. Neither is it wise to
disregard his opinions, for in and
through them might be found the
means for successfully combating him
in whatever you may be trying to at
tain. The thing to do is to be sure
you have the right ideal, and see that
it gets recognized but not by trying
to discredit the other mans viewpoint.
Win your point by getting men to see
that your viewpoint is best, but never
by knocking the ideals of the other
fellow. You must show and prove
your plans if you want folks to advo,
cate and accept them.

NOTES ON SITUATION.

The question of prohibition is being
forced into the gubernatorial cam
paign now under way in Georgia. 1t
has no place in view of the stringent
law which becomes effective May LIST.
The only matter is the enforcement of
the law, for we have the statute which
has been sought for the past several
years in Georgia.
The matter of certain prominent
Georgians and their notable connec-
tion with the cause of prohibition has
caused much concern in Georgia
among real genuine prohhibitionists.
There's T. R. Fielder, for instance, He
is legal luminary shining gayly in
tie forefront of the struggle, but the
people of Georgia are not quick 10
follow him.
And here we might note that Fielder
is not overlooked by some of the people
he is working with. There is no special
friction, but it is certainly known that
good, reliable and conservative pro-
hibitionist in Georgia have told Eich-
elberger, Witham, etc, ad intinitum,
that T. B. Fielder did not lend enchant-
ment to the cause so far as they were
concerned.
If we may be allowed, mark. this
note. A split is coming between Field
er and the people who are now max
ing bed with him. The old time Fielder
cannot be forgotten by some of the
people in the present day.
1t is to be regretted that prohibition
will be injected as an issue. Georgia
mas pronlDqtlon-Or VIII nave 1t on
May LIST, and Georgia will keep it.
Georgia will enforce this law, all other
statements and beliefs to the con-
trary
But there are many Georgians who
do not want to contaminate teh cause
of prohibition by associating it with
some of the individuals who are now
its spokesman. The cause need have
no fear of reaction, but some of the
people connected with it might recon
cile the handwriting on the wall.
