means country loyalty, because the
family is the foundation Of society
and of our government. Money and
wealth are fine things if you know
how to use them in the service Of
your fellow and of humanity, but
just to have money to know that you
have it, never could see any pleas
ure or profit in it.
millions have lived on this kindly
earth
And shared in it's beauty and gentle
mirth;
They have loved it's skies and its
friendly trees,
And it's mountains high and its rowing
Though never by fame were their
mantles kissed,
And gold and silver were joys they
missed,
They gathered the sweet which life
had to give
And they loved the world and were
glad to live
And I might add made others glad
because they lived and knew how to
live. 1t is a great thing to be able
to go along the road down life's
journey and be able to know and to
feel that you made others glad that
you passed that way.
But / did not start out to write
a hon1ily, and yet sometimes l can't
help it, and there you are. My
brother, Luther Bachman Aull and
his wife, came down during the day
and spent couple of hours and to
keep the folks at home from taking
a trip down to Dyson late in the
evening and having to wait at this
station in the cold with poor accom-
modation, I went with them to their
home between Ninety Six and Green
wood, and had another meal with
them of backbone and country col
lards grown in their own garden, and
sausage and lots Of other things, and
you know I wonder why so many of
our farmers buy white cabbage to
make saur kraut and to eat when the
home grown vegetable is so much
nicer and sweeter, and then complain
about the high cost Of living. l al
most feel like saying, instead of the
high cost of living in many cases it
should read the high cost of laziness,
but that would be rather harsh to say,
and I do not say it, for I do love to
say nice and pleasant things. This
young brother has a fine country
place in good neighborhood just
half way between Ninety Six and
Greenwood and he is good farmer.
And farming is the thing to do now if
you are willing to work, but if you
want increased pay and short hours
better not 60 to the farm. With the
advent of the motor car few miles
the country does not count, because
the proper measurement of distance
is by time and not by miles. After
the meal Bachman drove me over to
Greenwood and I came on home, but
the weather did not moderate.
If am spared to get through with
this census job, and my mother is
living, I told her that I was going to
take off a whole week and forget The
Herald and News and everything else,
and I was going to hook up my new
III, and I am going over to the old
home and we are just going to ride
about among the old scenes and see
some of the folks that used to know,
and some of the places, and if the

49,
The older l grow and the more |
see of the world and of men and
women, and the more I study them
the more / wonder why so many
people seem to have their hands at
their brothers neck, as it were, try
ing to take advantage of him many
times, and the scramble for the al
mighty dollar, because when the tale
is told and the end has come what
does it profit man truly if he gains
the whole world. Wherein h he
been benefited, except in what he has
been able to do in the service of his
fellows and to help humanity. have
seen even members Of the same
household and the same blood so
obsessed with the love Of money that
they would not hesitate to take ad-
vantage of one another if by so doing
they thought or imagined that they
could put even rusty dollar in their
pocket. When see this disposition /
can not help thinking of what Sam
Jones said on one occasion Of such.
Some day they will haul you off to the
cemetery and even though your
pockets may be lined with silver and
gold your hands will be then too stiff
to reach the pocket. The prettiest
sight in this world to me is a loving
and loyal family. And family loyalty
means country loyalty, because the
family is the foundation Of society
and of our government. Money and
wealth are fine things if you know
how to use them in the service Of
your fellow and of humanity, but
Just to have money to know that you
have it, I never could see any pleas
ure or profit in it.

Lincoln Day Address
 By Secretary Lane
On Attitude Martyr President Would Have Assumed To- ward Problems of Today.

Philadelphia Feb. 12-The attitude Abraham Lincoln would have as stunned towards problems now con- fronting America was discussed by Secretary LUane in an address tonight before the Philadelphia Lincoln club.
 ssWhen- people today talk of revo-' lution in the United States declared MT. Lane. they meet an answer in the words of Lincoln. who said: Tn democracy wherS the majority rules by the ballot through the forms of law physical rebellions are radically wrong unconstitutional and are treason.'
 Lincoln believed that the supreme achievement of civilization. the climb that we have been making through ten thousand years. was the fact that the wilfulness of the few had become sub iected othe lawfulness of the many
 If Lincoln looked out upon the world and saw the sad state in which 1t is" said the secretary, T am con- vinced he would believe that there should be a council of all the nations i sitting in Europe at this very time tions and for the restora tion of the peoples. The League of Nations or no league, his great soul could not dis regard the call of humanity; could not refuse the challenge of the occasion !; could not see hope for American in a disordered world. and he would bear | his part in lifting to their feet those who are in distress, whether friends or enemies.

President to See
 Railroad Men Today
Men Will Ask For. Assurance of Reduction in Cost of Liv- ing or Increased Wages.

Washington, Feb. 12 President
 Wilson will be asked tomorrow by spokesmen for the more than 2,000, ,00e railroad employees that definite assur- ances be given of an immediate reduc-s tion in the cost of living, leaders in the wage negotiations declared tonight. AS an alternative, the union representa- tiyes will claim increased wages, de- mands for which were not pressed at Mir. Wilson's request last summer
 Representatives of the workers it was intimated tonight, bass their hope for higher wages largely on the in crease in the cost of living since the last general wage increase in 1918. The cost of living question. while al- ways to the fore in the negotiations which the union men have had with Director General Hines, will be .eIn- ployed to the full extent of the unions power in the conference with the pres ident, it was indicated.
 Immediately after the announcement from the White House that the presi= dent would see. a union committee of three personally, a meeting tof the union heads interested in the con- triversy was called and preparations were begun for possible presentat ton of verbal claims in amp plification of the Director General Hines. The employ es will be represented by B. M. Jewell, acting president of the Railway Em- ployes Department American Feder- ation of Labor; F. J. Manion, president

uous picture of a discontented labor, I am sure that he would hold that there can be no lasting economic life where the employed and the employer regard each other as enemies, where the philosophy of amending warfare is accepted as the shifting foundation of our Industrial life; a plan of exist ence in which the women and the children of the workers, the mass of society. the public, are the supreme sufferers. He would regard it as the commanding duty of our time to find the way. the gradual expanding way in which the methods of war--these methods of economic war-would be abandoned, ard in their stead. the way of a growing law be substituted But the miracle of satisfying all, he would not attempt to work, for he put our situation clearly when he said: Whats the matter with my two boys Just whats the matter with the world, I have got three walnuts and each wants two.

VIM. PHILLIPS APPOINTED
 MINISTER TO NETHERLANDS

Washington. Feb. 12.-(By The A. p President Wilson is understood to have decided on the appointment of William Phillips, assistant secre- tary of state. as minister to The Netherlands
 The nomination of MT. Phillips, who will arrive in New York within a few days after trip to England made necessary by the illness there of Mrs. Phillips mother. is expected to be sent to the senate soon, per- haps together with the nomination of Robert Underwood Johnson of New York, recently selected as. ambassa- dor to Italy.
 Changes in the diplomatic service which have occurred since the ending of the world war, had jed to numer- ous reports that Secretary Phillips would be offered a foreign post, the vacancies of minister to. China and ambassador to Italy being mentioned. However, these reports had been dis counted by the general belief that MT. Phillips desired to retire to re- cuperate from the heavy work of the state department incident to the war.
 The legation at The Hague has been without a minister since last October when John W. Garrett of Baltimore resigned.
 Secretary Phillips, who is a native of Massachusetts, entered the di- plomatic service fifteen years ago as second secretary of the legation at Peking. With the exception of two years, 1912-1914, winch he obtained leave of absence and served as secre- tary of the Harvard University Cor poration. he has been connected ever since with the diplomatic branch of the government. In 1908 he acted as chief of the division of Far Eastern affairs, leaving that office to become third assistant secretary of state.
 When the democratic administra- tion came into power in 1913, Mir Phillips, although republican in politics, was asked to accept the of fee of third assistant secretary of state, owing to experience in diplo- matic matters. He was made first as sistant secretary when Frank L. Polk was promoted from that office to counselor.

Washington, Feb. 12. - Confidence that Europes monetary problems will be settled satisfactorily was expressed today by Secretary Houston fin a re- view of the international financial sit uation.
 This country is constantly fprnish- ing Europe capital with which to rec construct the eeononlIc lie ol hatIJ4ts there, said Mir Houston, explaining that advances are being made in the same way, that Europe aided this country in time of depression in the past. not by government loans so much as by indirect methods, such as private loans. sale of surplus army equipment, and the absorption Of high grade in vestment securities offered in markets here by European holders. The secre- tary estimated that Europe had re- ceived approximately 100000. 900 from this country since the armistiee was signed.
 The position of the United States treasury was said by the secretary to be very strong and on Monday the last issue of loan certificates of indebted ness, about s60 100000. will be redeem ed, leaving no outstanding floating lean in the sense of short term certif- icates requiring to be refunded at ma- turity. Tax certificates outstanding amount to S2.y35. .94S.56O, all Of winch will be paid by forthcoming income and profits taxes.
 Altogether, Secretary Houston de- clined to agree with the pessimistic view of some public men. who fore cast financial crash and asserted that while there were many difficult ties to be overcome, there was nothing in the situation to be regarded as ex- tremely grave.
 Secretary Houston's statement fol- lows in part:
 The rapid reduction of government expenditure and realization of the sur plus stocks accumulated for war pur- poses have been important factors in making possible the reduction of the floating debt and the gross debt of the government in the past five months The result of the elimination of loan certificates and the great re duction in the floating debt and gross debt have both been contributed to by the application to the payment of loan certificates of an important part of the balance in the general fund, which it had been necessary to retain at g high figure as long as the loan cer- i fificates were outstanding in order t6 1 provide for these frequent maturities and which 1t was possible to rednc'

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Disdharg of the national debt by a capital levy up on property may be necessary, Glen E. Plumb, president of the Plumb Plan League for a tripartite control of railroads said in an address here to- night before the American Farm er-Labor Cooperative Conference.
 Our problem in meeting the na- tional debt. ne said. 'is so to adjust our affairs that the two per cent. of the people owning sixty per cent. of the wealth shall pay their per centage of this irdebt ednesS; the B per cent. of the people owning B per cent. of the wealth shall pay their percentage due frcSn them and that the 65 per cent of the people who own five per cent of the wealth shall not be re- quired to pay more than their pro- portionate amount of this indebted nt\.
 If we meet this indebtedness by a tax on industry. we distribute the Ii ability to each man in accordance with his purchasing power. When all is said and done, we may be com- pelled to accept the solution already adopted in Germany, and now con sidered as inevitable in GSGat Britain the discharge of the entire national debt iy placing a capital levy upon property.
 The Farmer-Labor Conference looks to the esta,blishEent of a cooperative enterprise Mr. Plumb said, embrac- ing every step rom the production of raw materials to collection, manufac- ture, storage and distribution to the ultimate cansumer. It is hoped to in clude 4,eo0, ,00o men representing up- wards of 2Q g0o,o0 citizens. in the project.
 We are striving to escape from the duress imposed by a government of a small group of dominant men" the speaker said. ito free ourselves from a monopoly and control of credit--to obtain for ourselves independence in many fields Of eRdeavor from which we are now barred"
 The present monopoly Of credits. he continued. 'ilas projected us into a crisis, economic, industrial political, that conyicrs the administration and both political parties of absolute inn potency"
 NIr. Plumb said those holding the credit monopoly were fable to exhaust the taxiTEE power of the government and devote funds raised for purely governmental expenditures to tae profit of private industrial control ?

greatly in connection with their retire. ment.
 Although the treasury will. of course, be obliged to borrow from time to time to meet the current deficit in the intervals between income and profit tax installment payments, and the current requirement. of the War Finance Corporation the fact that the treasury has no uncovered maturities is of immense importance.
 The position of the treasury today and the future of the market for the outstanding issues of Liberty bonds and Victory notes is very bright. The whole color of the picture would. of course, be changed if congress should embark upon new expenditures on large scale. The whole problem to- day is that of giving the people time and will save capital sufficient to. en- able them to absorb that part of the war issues which is still owed or loaned upon by banks and as well the flood of securities which are being pressed upon our markets from foreign sources in consequence Of the extreme depression in European exchanges.
 Tn that connection, it is interesting to observe that the depression in high grade investment securities in this country at the present time is to a very important extent the result of heavy selling of such securities in our markets from foreign sources. By ab- sorbing these high grade investment securities, the American people are furnishing capital to Europe at time of Europe'i need and are giving this help in just the way that Europe helped America in the period of Amer ica's growth and of her own monetary troubles.
 'Yet in those day Europe was far better able to meet the relatively small demands of America than in Amer ica now. burdened as she is by gov- ernment expenditures since the begin ming of the war to the aggregate amount of about s36,T0a,000 900, to meet the stupendous demands of Europe today.
 q am confident that the solution of Europe's problems will be found by the wisdom and courage of European statesmen in facing the monetary diff ficulkties imposed upon them by the great war and by the enlightened, sympathetic and friendly cooperation of the business men and worknen of America and Europe when peace is 1 restored and the hope and fear of government interferences are remov- i ed." ..z.-.------es4.-z-.~-z,

of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers. and Timothy Shea. acting president of the. Brotherhood of Locomotice Fire- men and Enginemen. The conference will be held: on the south lawn of the White House, where MT. Wilson spends portion ofzhis mornings.
 There was unmistakable evidence to- night among the union officials of a fear that the president would refuse to grant their wage demands A few said frankly they could see no hope to a settlement favorable to them The view seemed to have been based on the arguments offered in rebuttal by MT. Hines as the union leaders pre- sented new claims or proposals.
 Director General Hines i'll trans hitting data on the controversy to President Wilson today was under stood to have. made suggestions rel ative to. final disposition on the problems. These, however, did not take the form of definite recommenda tions, it was said. Union leaders had Knowledge of what Mr.. Hines stand was and they were understood to fear the presidents decision would follow closely along the same lines.
 The director general in his confer ences with the union heads told them that he could not grant their demands
 
 federal control and explained that pending legislation, passage of which was expected, would set up machinery which would provide impartial and unbiased" handling of the wage claims The union argument to this was that they were thus compelled to face an- other daley with no assurances of re- lief.
 While the controversies with. the other unions were quiescent because of switch in the center of interest from the railroad administration to the White House, MT. Hines conferred with representatives of the Brother hood of Maintenance of Way EmpIoyes and Shop Laborers. who have called strike of their BOG ,e60 members Tuesday, officials of Brotherhood of Railroad Station Employes and chiefs e the longshoremen's union.
 The conference with the mainten- anee of way workers resulted prac- tlcally in placing their demands in the same category with those now before the president. Mir. Hines told the com mittee frankly that he would not agree, to their demands for higher pay at this time but informed them of his Willingness to leave the case open pending decision of the president.
 Differences between the railroad ad- ministration and the station enuIoy- es and longshoremen were understood to have been settled several days ago but MT. Hines told them at that time he would discuss their grievances further whenever they desired. P, ]. Coyle, president of station eInployes. said after the; conference he had not been given what he intended get. ting" but that the question had not been disposed of finally.
