What Shall We Do With
Our By-Kings?
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1881

It always has been an American
problem what to do with our eX-
Presidents. Still, there are never
enough of them to amount to much
A far more serious question is, What
shall We do with our ex-kings?
mean our ex-business kings, our
men who have won their way in the
competitive fields of free endeaVor
and have demonstrated their title 10
leadership.
\ country is best tested by the kind
of men its conditions thrust upward.
In the free ana open rattle and shake
up of American business the big pota-
toes come to the top.
1t is the fashion in some circles TO
curse the big business man. but it Is
entirely an imported fashion. Real
Americans do not hate those who have
achieved success. On the whole 1t
was a fair field and no favor. and the
small company of men who have won
their way from poverty ard obscurlty
into power have done SO because they
were better men than the rest Of us.
l do not mean that they were more
pious, more just, handsomer or more
ideal than we. but they were more eff
ficient They just naturally had more
ability.
L am not fond of millionaires. AS
rule they are not very agreeable to
chum with, although occasionally one
of them is a regular fellow. l like
vagabonds and poets. But this does
not impair my Judgment as to the
real value to society of the big bust
ness man.
They are the people who make
things go. II there were some way
of capturing man when he has made
great success of his business, en-
downing him for life, giving him dis
: 70
and his wife proud, and compelling
him for the rest of his life to work
for the state, it would be good
thing for democracy.
Just how to do this I have not the
slightest idea. The government did
it; it had to do it, under the stress of
war time, when men like Baruch,
Hoover Vanderlip, Willard, Ryan and
Schwab were called into national at
fairs.
Now these men are letting go. And
that means that the country is to be
handed back to the politicians.
The trouble is you cannot elect such
men to Office They are not electable.
There are too many soreheads. And
the man who can do things is not at
all the type of man that can get
votes.
Postmaster General Burleson has
Communicated Theodore n. Vail to
manage the telephone and cable lines
for the government. This was simply
because Mr.. Vail was the one man in
the United States most fitted for that
job But If he had run for that posi-
ton as a political office almost any
fannel-mouthed politician would have
beaten him to it.
1t is the weakness of democracy
that it cannot take Rockefeller from
his oil industry, Carnegie from his
steel, Havemeyer from his sugar,
Duke from his tobacco, IngerSoll from
his Matchmaking. Woolworth from his
ten-cent stores and Doherty from his
traction companies, and set them to
work for the public good.
The Kind of socialism that we need
in this country is not the kind that
takes property away from the stock
holders and hands it over to the sec
ton gangs. but the kind that can
take essential public brains and draft
them into the public service.

The Federal Land Tax Bogy.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
However seriously it may be agi-
tated before congressional commit
tees. the notion of a. United States
tax on land values should not be per-
mitted to disturb the minds of over
asse ssed and heavily taxed victims Of
local extravaganza whose misfortune
it is to own real property. The peril
will not Inaterialize. The "bogy" may
Practically every farmer in the
United States would bitterly oppose
such a proposition. Nothing that farm
ers generally oppose has been or is
likely to be a feature of war-revenue
legislation.
OF course. the national government
has the power to impose such a tax:
that power could not be taken away
from a real sovereignty. Land is the
source of all wealth. 1t is left to the
states to tax, as a matter Of comfy.
The nation can interfere, but will not
under any conditions that are likely
to develop.
Scientific taxation needs to be stud
led in the United States 1t. is being
studied. And Uncle Sam probabably
realizes that the developed wealth he
has so far reached as a source of
revenue. offers quicker and more eff
fective collecting than land could ever
offer. That, of itself, would be a con-
elusive argument.

HALL0WED SPOT WHERE
EDITH CAVELL LIES.

PARIS, December 20.-When recent
made their triumphant entry into
Brussels the British took possession
of little mound of earth which,
though but square meter in area,
was most sacred to them in that it
covered the remains of the British
martyr nurse, Edith Cavell, shot by
the Germans for assisting her coun-
trymen. prisoners in Brussels. to es-
cape home via Holland. And though
many German owed his life to her
because she did not spare herself
when called upon to tend the enemy
wounded, no mercy was shown her
by the German officers when de-
nounced.
Where Miss Cavell was executed and
buried is described here by French
writer who recently paid a visit to
her grave:
TN Schaerbeek, northeastern sub
urb of Brussels. stands a huge. red
stone establishment of no particular
style. 1t consists of central build
ing, danked by two towers and pro-
1onged by two wings. 1t is the ma
tional shooting ground of Brussels,
and it was inside its walls that Miss
Cavell was assassinated; it was in the
shelter of the knobs and bitches of
this shooting ground that forty-one
unfortunates. guilty only of loving
their country, were executed by the
Germans during their occupation of
Brussels.
Among these martyrs is one whose
name the public has hitherto ig-
nored. He is Louis Bril-, the Belgian,
who, to avenge Miss Cavell, assassi-
mated the man who denounced her
Miss Cavell was betrayed to the Ger
mans by Belgian youth. whose name
has thus far not been published out of
consideration for the family to whom
he belonged. This youth, after the
announcement, never dared venture
into the streets of Brussels alone He
was always accompanied by an agent
OF the German secret police.
Louis Bril- logged his steps till one
night he took advantage of the occa-
sion to shoot him through the heart
But the German police agent had no
ticed the interest which he bore the
traitor and one morning Brips house
was surrounded by the German
guards. Fortunately. he was warned
in time to escape by the roof But
some weeks later. returning to Brus-
sells to thank the person who had en-
abled him to get away. he was can
tured by the Germans and shot. He
died hero"

INITIATIVE
BY II. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright. 1912

Son. have you ever questioned your
self as to your power of initiative?
Have you a clear idea of what initia-
tive means?
During the great war. now hap
PLY ended. a certain steamship cross
, ing the Atlantic was waylaid by a
piratical German submarine The
submarines presence was not detect
ed until it was very close to its pro-
spective prey.
Then it was useless to attempt es-
cape by flight. The situation seemed
hopeless, capture and sinking iuevita-
BILE
But the captain of the steamship,
signaling to the engine room for full
speed, instantly changed the course of
his vessel so that it bore directly on
the submarine At once the tables
were turned, the hunter became the
hunted.
Frantically the submarine sought
concealment in the depths of the
ocean Too late. There was a crash
ing impact-and that particular sub
marine could never again do DEVILS
Quick thinking on its captains part,
Intelligent planning, decisive acting,
had saved the steamship. And quick
thinking, intelligent planning, deci-
sive acting constitute initiative.
Confronted in your daily work by
unexpected problems, how do you re-
act to them?
Do you attack them boldly and con-
fidently? Or do you wait for some
one else to instruct you what to do?
Do You. indeed, in your daily work
give alert thought to the devising of
methods TO get more satisfactory re-
suits? Or are you content with accu-
rately following the directions given
you?
To be able to follow directions ac-
curately is itsek a good thing. But
1T is far better to be able to originate
improvements. Then you are an mi
tiator. not merely an initator.
And it is to the initiators that the
big rewards of endeavor go.
Scan the annals of business life. of
the professional world. of scientific
literary and artistic activity. Always
you will find that it is the initiators
who gain the greatest wealth or the
greatest fame, or both wealth and
fame.
How to grow in power of initiative?
1t is largely, though not wholly. a
matter of practice in constructive
thinking. Study the work you now
are doing, with reference both to
methods and to results. Ask yourself
If there is not some way in which of
your own accord you can effect i'm
provements.
Do not try to achieve too much at
once Be satisfied at first with work
ing out betterment in some detail,
however petty. Then promptly act to
realize that betterment.
The outcome may show that you
have been thinking feebly or over
hastily. The expected Improvement
may turn out to be no Improvement
at all Do not let that discourage
you.
Keep on trying to think construc-
lively. Learn from your failures.
when you have decided on a new at
tempt let action quickly follow deci-
sion.
In time, unless your intelligence is
much below the average, your think
ing will begin to bear abundant fruit.
And meanwhile you will have acquired
the habit of Independent, confident
doing, without which no man need
hope to travel far along the highway
of success.

Bringing Home Troops.

From the London Chronicle.
Perhaps after all the navy will not
have such a gigantic task in the
business OF rehabilitation. Nearly
all our troops should be able to re-
turn by rail as far as Calais, SO that
a cross-channel service is all that
will be needed, while the larger YES
sells are left to take American heroes
home. But what an irony IL the rail-
way that was intended to take out
conouering army should, instead, be
used to bring home the .conquerors.

When we had tried and ordered
