EMERSON
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
Ralph Waldo Emerson stands in a niche
all his own in the hall of fame.
He has no fellow He has no rival. He
is not "primus inter pares" There are no
"pares."
He is as distinct and solitary upon his
throne in the kingdom Of letters in America
as Shakespeare is in England.
He lands for the cleanest, most honest,
gentlest, and most courageous thinking that
has ever been done this side of the Atlantic.
And there is not much on the other side that
lis of his class.
Time is the supreme critic The judgment
Of men has to stand many years before it
settles All heat must go down, all person
alities must be precipitated, all the foam of
controversy must disappear before the final
crystal estimate is apparent
Emerson has been dead long enough for
the petty confusions of his time to be gone;
he is now to us but a pure and luminous
spirit. He moves in our midst as an eternal
mind.
And his works have that catholicity of I'M
derstanding, and that utter honesty of re-
porting only what Nature whispered to him,
which render any writing immortal.
He is disable. He is nearer to us than the
other great demigods of literature and we
! can comprehend him better.
While he strikes the same deep note as
that we hear in Montague, in Goethe, in
Marcus Aureius and in Socrates, he is worth
more to us than any of them because his
ideas were born in our language.
No man can read page or two of Emerson
every day for a month, read it slowly and
with reflection, and not be richer, sounder
more accuate, and more powerful in his
thinking.
He is not ''highbrow'' nor Literary
Brahman," and it is time his reputation was
rescued from such imputation; for, like Jesus
and like all really great teachers, he speaks
to the naive mind. He would be the first
to deny, if he were alive today, that he be-
longed to that class of egoists who like to
| flatter themselves with the pitiful pose that
they speak only to the elect.
Emerson's message is for all. 1t is for
the deep, universal heart Of man. He had
the prophetic democracy Of Lincoln, only he
was thinker, not doer. He had the world
spirit and brotherliness of Whitman, only
his fancy was always lucid.
Of all the books that ought to be in the
library of any man who loves the intellectual
life, the first place belongs to the writings
Of our greatest American thinker,
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

GROWING TOO WISELY
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

BY h. AddlngtOn Bruce
~ ROWING old is one of the inevitable
facts of existence. But not everybody
~ grows old the same way. Some grow
old very, very unwisely. Others, though un-
fortunately minority, grow old wisely.
The wise ones appreciate that with the pas
sage of years there is bound to be gradual
weakening of the bodily organs But also
they appreciate that unused organs weaken
far more rapidly than organs that are kept
in use.
Accordingly, when these wise folk enter
middle life they begin to moderate their phys
zeal activities.
They no longer exercise as strenuously as
in their earlier years. IT, for example, they
have been devotees of such games as baseball
or tennis, they turn instead to golf.
When they exercise by walking they do not
force themselves as perhaps was their wont,
to walk great distances at a rapid gait. They
may still walk fairly briskly, but they recog-
nize the increased likelihood of strain and
abandon all desire for pedestrian achieve
ments.
Nevertheless, they do not neglect to get
some exercise daily They know that if they
become easy chair addicts they will be in
greater danger of organic degeneration than
they would be from exercising overmuch.
Moderating bodily activity, the really wise
grow moderate also in the demands they make
on their digestive organs. They begin to eat
less, and in especial they cut down their daily
allowance of meat and of fat-forming foods.
They do this for more than one reason
They know that many people have a ten
dency to put flesh after they reach forty
and that excessive weight is detrimental to
continued health. And they know that they
require less food with slackening Of bodily
activity and that If they eat more food than
they really require it will be more likely to
clog and poison their systems after forty than
before it,
Similarly those who would grow old wisely
try to make middle life period for tighten
ing their mental burdens. Most of all, they
refuse to allow petty cares and worries to OPP
press them.
Unless driven by necessity, they work less
strenuously than they have been doing. But
they continue to work. And they continue to
use their minds actively even when away from
work, not wasting their leisure in lazy idle
ness.
Sedulously they cultivate recreational hob
bies that will afford mental occupation dur
ing freedom from work. Instinctively they
sense that mental disintegration proceeds
apace with non-use of the mind.
Also tie wise make it a point to keep in
terestedly in touch with current affairs and
to maintain generous family and social senti-
ments. Thus they avoid the borrowing, dead
ening selfishness which too often contributes
to render old age not only unlovely, but senile-

Save the f., B. 6 4.

THE uncertainty of it's future is the one
certain, overshadowing and conspicu-
Gus aspect of the dilemma Of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad.
There is talk of junking the property and
salvaging it's physical assets. A similar sug-
gestion some months ago, when it was con-
fronted by far less critical situation, pro-
voked a storm of protests throughout the
State The opposition then voiced against the
possibility was no sounder nor more posi-
tive than it should be today, although, as
remarked, the situation today confronting the
acute and the imminence OF its abandonment
as a common carrier is far greater.
The acuteness of the situation respecting
the continuance of the Atlanta, Birming CHAM
and Atlantic railroad is frankly and clearly
set forth by Colonel Benjamin l.. Bugg, it's
president and operating head. The property
is losing $1,OOO,OOO per year, in round fig
ures, and this loss is represented by operat-
ing expenses and taxes.
AS Colonel Bugg remarks, it is absurd to
consider an increase in its freight and pas
senger rates. The Atlanta, Birming CHAM and
Atlantic must compete with other railroads,
and certainly if it's passenger rates and freight
charges were increased traffic would be di-
verified to other lines and the Atlanta, Bir-
mingham and Atlantic, instead of increasing
its earnings, would, in fact, fall further in
arrears.
ly, as Colonel Bugg points out, orthe good
and sufficient reason that nobody, let alone
a railroad, will purchase a property that is
losing million dollars year. The alterna-
tive, as Colonel Bugg sees it, is to scrap the
property and salvage it's physical assets.
Now The Journal has neither the DISPOSE
ton nor the desire to take sides in the con-
troversy between the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic and its employees concerning the
question Of wages. We here and now dis
claim any purpose to influence the final ad-
Justment of this very aggravating question,
upon which, it appears, the fate of the prop
erty hangs
But The Journal does wish again to voice
it's very emphatic protest against the scrap
ping of the property. That would be back
ward step and so out of harmony with the
tendency of the times and the progress OF
Georgia as to justify extreme measures.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic has
served in the past to contribute materially
to the development of the territory which it
serves It's continuance is essential to the
further and continued growth of the section
that it traverses.
The communities served by the railroad,
the public. If you please, are entitled to some,
if not first, consideration regarding the fu-
ture of the property. Certainly these com
munities and the public who patronizez the
railroad and who depend upon 1t to serve
them cannot afford to sit idly by and see the
property iunked. Their rights are paramO cunt
and it is the belief of The Journal that If
they assert themselves, some way will be
found by which the property may be saved
and thus continue further to the upbuilding
Of the State.

U-Boat DetectOr

U-Boat DetectOr
DR.. Willis r. Whitney, of Schenectady, N.
Y, inventor of a detector for giving warning
of the approach of submarines, has been
awarded the Pekin gold medal, one of the
highest honors in science, in recognition of
his many inventions through which he had
applied chemistry to the service of mankind.
The medal is given for the highest achieve
ments in applied science and is named for Sir
William Perkin, a distinguished chemist and
discoverer of the first processes for the man
ufacture of aniline dyes from coal tar.
The submarine detector, which put
into practical application during the Euro
pean war at the Nahant station of the United
States, Is probably Mr. Whitneys best-known
invention. AS member of the naval con-
sulting board, he also did much for the de-
velopment of radio telephony and radio teleg-
raphy while the conflict with Germany was
in progress. He is now director of the re-
search laboratory of the General Electric
company at Schenectady, N Y.
DR.. Whitney, who was born in jamestown,
n Y, is a director of the American Chemical
society, of which he was president in 1909.

Regains Memory

Just the faint sounds of a dummy
telegraph apparatus at Maryland Gener-
al Hospital served to bring to "Ralph the
Mystery Man," who has been a patient at
the institution for over three weeks suf
fering from amnesia, the first glimmer of
memory from his past life.
AS Ralph" heard the first click of the
instrument he exclaimed II know now,
I used to be a wireless radio operator and
1 worked on a big ship. But everything
is haZy. / cannot remember where or
when it was"
Physicians hope that this glimmer of
memory, even though it was only for
fleeting moment, may be the beginning
of restoration. "Ralph" himself seems
more cheerful than at any time since he
has been patient, and today demonstrate
ed his knowledge of the Morse code.

E1ectr;;c;tu
THE United States, Notwithstanding it's
a development and progress in industry is

THE United States, Notwithstanding its
a development and progress in industry is
only five per cent electrified, according
to authorities on the question. Statement
of this fact to convention of men engaged
in the electrical business in Boston last week
electrified them with optimism as to the
future. II
While it may appear surprising at first
blush that the country is only five per cent
electrified, tt statement, on analysis, should
occasion no establishment. The electrical in
dustries are relatively new among the bust
ness activities of the world, and it is safe to
say that, opportunities considered, America is
abreast of the other countries of the world in
the matter of identification.
The development of the electrical industry
in the United States is a thing that cannot es-
cape notice. In increasing measure, cleo
tricity lights the homes, cooks the food and
drives much of the machinery that makes our
clothes The electric washing machine is an
invention of comparatively recent date, but
more and more is it coming into use in the
homes, and we are all familiar with the grow
ing use of electricity in the transportation of
freight and passengers. The elevators in our
office buildings, in most cases, are electrical
" operated. There are hundreds of other
purposes to which electricity has been put.
but as was stated in Boston, the surface
scarcely has been scratched
AS the Boston Transcript says, In discuss
ing the matter, "yet, witt these and hundreds
of other evidences of the use O. electricity IN
the complicated processes of daily life the ex-
perts declare that electrical development in
this country is only one-twentieth OF what
may be regarded the ultimate extent. No
wonder that the men in the electrical indus
tries regard theirs as an exceptional oppor-
tunity. But it is not an exclusive opportun-
ity. 1t is an opportunity largely due to the
demand for those things which serve to make
life easier and pleasanter. 1t is not neces-
sary to light house with electricity. Kero-
sene is still available. American households
can get along without electrically driven ap-
pliances. They did not have them in grand
mothers day and grandmother was a good
housekeeper. Even business could worry
along in the old time fashion when electricity
was not among its assistants. But such is
not the American way. We want the best
means attainable to make life better worth
the living And electricity is the only one,
albeit an important one, among these
means"
The men engaged in the electrical business.
after all, are dependent upon the national
trait for the development of their Industry
Happily the trait needs no announcement,
and the leaders Of the industry may continue
its development with the assurance that the
American public will lend them every assist
ance.

4 Thr;fty Peob7e

THE statistics compiled by the Savings
Bank Association of New York and an
nounced last week speak volumes for
the thrift and prosperity of the American
people. Excluding the Postal Savings banks
from the count, there are in the United
States II, APT, $50 depositors in savings insti-
tutions with aggregate deposits of $685.
100000 This is an average of $571.99 per
depositor and an average of $6l.S5 per in
habitant.
We are informed by the same authority
that in the entire world there are 146,277,-
1914 savings accounts, aggregating $685.
285,677, an average deposit of S158.08.
The population of the twenty-three foreign
countries included in the survey is 993,2SO,-
600, so that the average per inhabitant de-
post is $3.50. Among the foreigi coun--
tries as might be suspected, Germany ranks
first Japan is second and Great Britain
third
It is gratifying and reassuring to be re-
minded that the United States is far in the
lead of the other countries OF the world in
the matter Of savings. The showing is a
tribute to the thrift of the people and a guar
antee against bolshevism and communism.
In a country where over eleven million peo-
pie have an average Of over five hundred dol
lars on deposit and where other millions own
their own homes the germs of radcalism can
not develop. There is small danger of such
a people approving any scheme for the ma
tionalization of the banks and distribution
of their deposits. The savings depositors in
American banks form strong bulWark OF
national defense.
In considering the savings. depositorc in the
United States and the home owners, it is well
enough also to remember the Liberty bond
holders as among the small investors who
are not likely to be influenced by the argu
rnents and appeals Of radical agitators. Over
100000 p iHotic Americans invested ir
Liberty bonds and although many of the
original investors have sold their securities
the number today approximates 100000.
It is impossible accurately to estimate the
wealth of the savings bank cepostors. the
home owners and the Liberty md holders
but it is certain that these disciples of thrift
include fifty per cent Of our population anf
that their aggregate wealth runs into the
billions.

jazz Passes

The "jazz" is dead in London, says Paul
Richardson, one of the foremost English au-
thorites dancing. He declares that no
new dances will be popularized this year,
but the fox trot, one-step and tango which
have held international interest for two or
three season, will be standardized.
previously those taught the same dances
by different teachers found themselves hope
lessiy at sea when hey tried to dance to-
gether," he said. Through standardization
on which the majority of dancing instructors
in London have now agreed, a common
framework in the steps will be insured with
out eliminating all chance Of introducing in
dividual variations Freal1ish and eccentric
light gymnastics such as exaggerated forms
of jazz are rapidly passing out"

Coolidge Rests

Seeking rest which he said he was I'M
able to get in his home town, Vice President
elect Calvin Coolidge has arrived at Ashe-
Vile, N c., for two weeks vacation, accom-
panied by Mrs. Coolidge and Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Stearns, of Northar lpton, Mass.
The party had breakfast Sunday morning
at Spartanburg, where they were guests of
prominent citizens of that city. They remain
ed there only long enough to take breakfast
between trains.
This was the second visit of the vice presi-
dent-elect to Asheville, having made a po-
litical speech here during the presidential
campaign, together with Governors Lowden,
Of Illinois, and Morrow, of KENTUCKY.
On that visit his greeting was largely par
tisan, but Sunday Asheville's welcome was
whole-hearted and unanimous. He expressed
his appreciation for the welcome, declaring
he was glad to be here with much cordial as
surances of hospitality
