DEAR FOLKS

IT HE workman l met
the oftenest at the
Wilson & Co. plant,
Chicago, was t h e d a y
Waterman. He is the
sentinel on Guard-and
he is an active, intelli-
gent, happy and proud
Sentinel. Do. you know
why? I'll tell you.
Up to three years ago,
this Waterman looked
upon himself as q mere
machine. He felt that
he occupied a mental po-
sition because he was
treated as a mental. No
body apparently thought
him worth while. Every
day was the same to him.
Nothing happened be-
tween sunrise and sun
set to relieve the monot-
ony of his life. He was
discouraged as most
workers are who do not
get kind words or atten-
ton.
But a n wv hold OH life came to
him the ), years ago this month
and it was I'LL irough: ABOUT
through a little act Of kindness.
My, how IA small courtesy
changes things for all Of US! It.
dispels clouds and floods our
pathway with sunlight. Let me
tell you what the Waterman told
me.
'The day that NJ. Wilson came
here to TAX. charge Of the busi-
ness wh.,.h had been given his
name, what do you s-:.pose was
the frs. thing he did? Why, he
came to my shanty, shook hands
with me ard said, John, want
you to know that / think you
are holding a very important
position. / look to you 10 watch
things very carefully. So much
depends on you. If you will put
your heart in your work and
help me all you can I will be
very grateful. From now on
you are going to be right arm
to this business. need your
help to make it a success. I
hope we will be good friends.
What do you say?' And, Of
cozrse, I said, TIL help and I
thank you so much for thinking
that I can help you." From that
time on, I have been very happy.
I am very proud Of the position
I hold. Mr.. Wilson always speaks
to me and shows that he likes
me. I am just the average
human being and when . man
me and treats mo right;
it makes an awful lot OF differ
ence in my viewpoint IN life. I
feel that I am now . real man
doing work that is necessary
and helpful"
John and I got along fine to-
gether during my daily visits tai
Wilson & Company plant cover,
ing a period Of five weeks. We
had many q chummy chat. He
introduced me to many Of the
workers, all Of whom respect
him. He dresses in . blue uni
form and stands guard with as
much pride as the Commander
of U. S. Warship stands on the
bridge Of his ship. This IL the sort OF
sport that makes q business prosper.
Another worker-this one q young
woman--told re that the courtesy
hown the Waterman by Mr.. Wilson was
by hundreds Of workers who
we're standing at the windows Of the
Dig office building watching for his
,Qming She said: IT can't describe to
1ou the wave of satisfaction that I'm
nediately struck US all. Instantly the
word went all through the plant that

Washington, Aug. 13.-Describing
the League of Nations as "deformed
experiment upon noble purpose"
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee and Republican leader of the
senate, declared in senate speech
that there were features of the league
covenant which las an American" he
never could accept. Creating, not a
league of peace, but an alliance en-
bracing many provisions for war;"
the covenant in its present form, he
asserted, would kill the Monroe doc

drawal from membership, impair the
sovereign power of deciding domestic
questions and plunge the United
States into every controversy and con-
fiict on the face of the globe. Let us
beware" he said, show we palter with
our independence. We have not

we were able to come down into the
field of battle and help to save the
world from tyranny by being guided
by others. Our vast power has all
been built up and gathered together by
ourselves alone"

following funeral services at his sum

The Sleepy Hollow cemetery, Mt the

the road along which the terrifying
"headless horseman" of Irving's story
pursued the schoomaster, Ichabod

way into the story goes tumhling
through the graveyard beneath the
shade of great trees.

by close friend of the Carnegie fam
lily. In spite of the fact that he IRON

of having modified various govern

We're actuated by the one desire of
demonstrating that government owner

actly the same operating force that

"There could be no real test as to
government operation so long as the
future disposition of the roads had
not been determined. Every effort was
made to convince the people that
private management was best.

"When the railroad officials prays

Mr.. Garretson generally is credited
with having been the prime factor In
