ANDREW CARNEGIE
INVOLVEMENT that An

A NNOUNCEMENT that Andrew
u Carnegie gave away during
"A his life S35O,OOO,OOO reveals
the magnitude of his charities and
philanthropies as greater even than
most people had imagined. If the
old iron master did not fulfill his
expressed intention of dying poor
it was no fault of his own. At first
blush one might be tempted to the
old expression too much money for
any one man to have" and it does
seem out of proportion that one
should command such vast amounts
of money while many others are
never able to put away even hun
dred dollars. But, on the other hand,
il Mr.. Carnegie's millions had been
distributed per capita they would
have meant very little in the life of
the community, whereas, dccumulat-
ed and under the guidance of one
master hand, they have gone extern
sively into public benefactions and
will work for countless years for the
good of the people of communities
the country over. The poor Scotch
lad has left his mark indelibly on
the country of his adoption.
Carnegie was a pioneer in the
iron business as it is known to-day.
Not only did he make himself rich
by developing great industry, but
he made millionaires of dozens of
others. Schwab was a pupil of Car
negie and many other high lights in
the steel business were poor boys
when they came to him. He be-
lieved in sharing his good fortune
among those who showed marked
ability. He paid literally according
to earning capacity.
Carnegie was a man of action
first and a man of dreams after that.
He dreamed of universal education
lions to make the dream come true.
He dreamed of world peace and eX-
pended his wealth generously for the
promotion of harmony among the
nations. He was not always prac-
tical, but his intentions were of the
best. He used his money almost en-
tirely for the benefit of the people of
the country which had given him
his fortune. He lived frugally al
ways and was never guilty of any of
the fantastic foibles that sometimes
go with immense riches. His fam
lily life was old-fashioned and ideal.
In short, he was a good citizen.
Money did not spoil him; rather it
mellowed him and aroused in him a
sense of his responsibilities to his
fellowmen. In his later years he
regarded himself simply as the
steward of his vast fortune and took
care to administer his trust after
the manner of biblical injunction,
even though he never professed
himself in accord with commonly
accepted religious belief.

and is proud of the splendid record
of the boys whom he led into battle.
He was witness to their courage
and devotion to high ideals, and
none knows better than he why the
Hun could not stand before them.
We're all glad to welcome Colonel
Thompson to the old home State.
He deserves all the praise that has
been bestowed upon him by those
who fought at his side and the
home folks who appreciate his
qualities as man and soldier.

1t was the splendid courage and
spirit of the women of the United
States that kept up the morale of
the American Army in France.
The wives, mothers and sweet
hearts had as much to do with
winning the war as the soldiers.
That's the testimony of Major
General Lejeune, the brilliant COM
mander of the famous Second Divi-
sion, just back from overseas, and
it's high praise indeed. But it's
every word true as gospel; the
American women helped a lot to
defeat the Hun.

POLITICAL PRISONERS.

THE excitement caused on Christmas Day by the
police treatment of number of intellectual peo-
pie with academic ideas of liberty should not cause
us to overlook the reasons why men are "polical'
prisoners in these United States where such a thing
was deemed impossible.
BY employing drastic draft rule necessary to raise
an army the Government abandoned the democratic
idea for the despotc 1t had been said and much be-
lieved that democracies could not successfully make
war against autocraceS where will took the place of
opinion. We did it by adopting the method OF the
autocrat and with entire Success
This being achieved, those who got in the way OF
the method are still in prison in the greater number,
although the military nations of Europe have opened
their prison doors and freed similar offenders 1t may
reasonably be asked: Why do we not do the same?
The reason is that, alone of the nations, the United
States IS still in state of war. The soldiers are home
the armies are diSbanded and swords are turning into
pruning hooks, but the Estate" remains.
W1y2 Because Henry Cabot Lodge and his fol-
lowers will not permit peace. The cell doors will
rattle in vain ProtestanS will lift up their voices in
fuGlity. The autocrat who is keeping men in their
chains is the Republican Leader of the United States
Senate. The discomfort, the delay, the njustce-all
are his continuation.

AWARDS. NOT CLAIMS.

Il appears the sequel to Admiral SimSS refusal of
i the Distinguished Service Medal and the accom-
panyng criticism of Secretary DanieSs basis of award
is to be rather disgusting scramble for decorations
and an airing of dirty linen in the front lawn which
might with better taste be confined to the back yard
Whatever the merits of the question at issue be-
tween the Admiral and the Secretary the letter pub
listed last week presented a definite issue There is
ground for reasonable difference of opinion as to
whether sea duty is more deserving Of commentator
than staff work. Only by innuendo did the personal
note creep in. In refusing the Distinguished Service
Medal Admiral Sims asked nothing for himself.
Letters by Rear Admiral Decker and Vice Admiral
Hilary P. Jones present rather unpleasant contrast
Admiral Decker says in part:
1t has been brought to my attention by public
notices that I have been recommended for
ward Of the Naval Cross
In my opinion, this award is entirely made
quate to the services that performed by
the office Of the Naval Attache and those who
worked with
In refusing the Naval Cross Admiral Jones reviews
his own personal services and says:
1t is submitted that, il the discharge Of these
highly responsible and largely independent du-
ties was successful to meet the depart
ments approval, the responsible officer should
be recognized commensuratey.
Admiral Sims praised his subordnateS Whether

tary Daniels simple declinaon of the Naval Gross

II may be in order Ia .emind other dSguntled tuf
hunters that decorations are supposed to be distributed
