MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
The Mother of Joseph Addison

Jane Gulston, the mother of Jos eph Addison, one of the greatest essayists the English people have produced, and in many ways the founder of modern journalism, even if he did live in the seven teenth and the eighteenth centu- ries, was a woman who married for love and not for money. "Jane," said every one of her friends, you are crazy to marry that man, crazy! He's lost one position, and what's he got now? Nothing! He's thrown on the world! "No," insisted Jane Gull ston, n,"you know perfectly well he has a fine living at Milston." And how much does he get?" came the quick answer. That's neither here nor there!" asserted Jane Gulston, who knew her own mind.
 The fact was that Rev. Lancelot Addison, whom she was to marry, was lucky to get 120 pounds a year-something like six hundred dollars! He had been chaplain to a foreign military post, but he had become homesick, and had come over to England. While he was away his job went perma- nently to another man, and only the help of friends gave the Rev. erend Lancelot any place at all. Then he saw Jane Gulston, who happened to be at meeting where minister and sister of a bishop, he went on clerical business.
 Jane was the daughter of a and she had seen so much of sol emn clerical life that she was ready for romance when romance presented itself. Remembering the story of Joseph and His breth- rcn she named her first born son Joseph" after the Bible character for she loved him exceedingly. Later she bore two other sons and three daughters, but her mother love went out strongly to that first-born boy, Joseph. Brought up as she had been, in a house where there were many books and where the talk was on high plane. she was woman of culture. She read to her little son. and taught him to read very early. Most of all, she trained Joseph to be most dignified when her brother the bishop came to visit them.
 There was laughter in this TO- mance-loving woman, too, and she taught the boy to see the joy in life, as well as the seriousness. There is more than a hint of her spirit in the very human essays that Joseph Addison wrote.

Should Be a Lesson
(Atlanta Constitution


 President Harding's death is q warning that ought to be needed in the future, not only by other ircum- bents of the White House, but by the politicians who have fallen into the habit of bundling their chief execu- tives off into continental campaign tours during the years preceding gen eral elections. Touring the country is a custom developed by presidents in the last few years. It wrought ire parable injury to the health of Wood row Wilson. It resulted in the death of Warren Harding. The lesson taught by the fate of Mir. Harding, distressing as it is to the nation that bows in sorrow at his untimely pass ing, ought to sink deep into the hearts and consciences of those who hay. aided the establishment of the custom, and to regulate future presidential tours that recurrence of the Wilson and Harding collapses may be avoided.

A POLITICAL BLUNDER

A Chicago dispatch carries the news that Police Chief Collins of that city has forbidden the use of police flivvers for bootlegging purposes. This usur- patton of authority will probably cause indignation among the free and un- trammelled officers. Who has bet ter right to violate the law than an officer of the law?
 Undoubtedly the Chicago chiefs or der means that all plainclothes men and policemen of that city who desire to continue in the bootlegging busi- ness will have to own their own cars. This increases the overhead, which naturally will be passed on to the con- sumer, so that the voter and tax payer will really be the goat of the chiefs arbitrary attitude. The con suming public will perhaps remain si- lent as usual, but it is doubtful if the free and independent politicians of Cook county's greatest and mos. wicked city will endure the situation in silence. If a henchman has done yeoman duty at the polls, and voted a contingent of foreign-speaking citi- zens at different booths, his services entitle him to latitude with which the chiefs order is wholly out of har- mony. The next thing we know, the moonshiners and bootleggers will be driven to form a third party in order

SLOWLY WORKING OUT

Leading newspapers of the Domin- ion of Canada are beholding with a species of chagrin the emigration of 79,OOO from Great Britain to the United States last year, while the drawing power of the Dominion in that respect was not so great. The Ca- nadian government is criticised for lack of aggressiveness in securing this very desirable increase of citizenship. Great Britain exhausted her quota of allowable immigrants to this country for the first time last year, and the tide is still a strong one owing co labor conditions in the mother coun-

Should Not Be Fatal
Meridian Stal.l

At home in the national capital, the presidents every day is crowded with public appearances, receptions to visiting notables, administration con- ferences, to say nothing of the routine duties of his high office. The people owe their president more than an end less round of toll; they owe him more consideration than four years of the most difficult and most exacting tasks
 tasks that continually test his mind and sap his physical strength. It is we'll that administration leaders pro- pose to enact legislation to relieve the executive of some of his burden. We should not make the honor of the pres idency fatal to him who serves us in that high office.

ABOLISH THAT SYSTEM

NCOlullpuS Nbd.) hcuSciI
 The convict leasing system is still in existence In Alabama. and our neighbors ought to be ashamed of it. Strenuous efforts are be- ing made to get legislative action looking to it's abolishment. but selfish interests appear to be in the way.
 The basic objection to leasing convicts is in the name of human ity, and the good people of Ala bama just simply can't afford to continue this obsolete-this in. human-system, which is prod uct of the dark ages. Alabam- ians should insist-really demand action of part of the legislature in the interest of Justice and hu- manity in this case.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS
Frank w. WOoIyyorth
By Frederick Houk Law


 If you wish to make money, make a little at time, and make 1t often," was the motto in which Frank w. Woolworth, the origina- tor of the great chain of Wool worth stores. believed. Not many people wish to buy ty-thousand dollar necklaces, but almost every person really wishes to get rid of five and ten cent pieces" is another motto to which MT. Wool worth subscribes. Because he be- lieved in such principles of busi- ness Frank Woolworth, the far mer's son, became a merchant prince. While his boyhood play fellows were happy in finding enough money to put new shingles on old barns, Frank Woolworth, who had no better opportunities than they, built the most princely of business buildings, a Broadway tower that rivals the celebrated towers of Europe.
 The nimble penny Is a better guide to fortune than is the elu- sive twenty-dollar gold pieces, In his boyhood days Frank Wool worth went about barefooted, took care of cows and horses, and knew what it Is to put hay back into the dusty haymows. When the little district school was open he went to it and learned to add and to multiply. Then he went to d little commercial college and learned something about book keeping. With this background of information he looked for a job and found one in a sort of general store where he tied neat bundles and was polite to nervous ladies. So far he was quite an ordinary young man, but at the age of twenty-six he had an idea; he put together in one part of the store q lot of odds and ends, put sign up saving that a customer could have any article there for five cents and waited to see what would hap pen. That seeding idea grew into the great chain of Woolworth stores, into the palatial Wool worth building in New York, and into millions of dollars.
 It is a good thing to plant real ideas. Thepeople floclked so fast to that five-cent counter that the young man borrowed three hun dred dollars and started a five cent store in Utica, New York. He made little money, paid his debt and opened another store in Penn sylvania. Then he simply kept on doing the same thing over and over, that is, making money, build ing new stores, making more money and building more stores. At the same time he kept trying to sell better goods, and to mako better bargains. Then he drew to himself a coterie of bright men and taught them how to SOW ideas, When he died he was one Of the richest men, and he had estao- lished a great business that IS public benefit.

Six-Year Term Suggested
Chicago News)

NCHlCdSO NeWS)
 The country asks too much of its presidents. The struggle at the half way point, the strain and uncertainty as to the chief executives personal fortunes, should be eliminated. The voters can retain ample hold on an ad- ministration during a six-year term, from their power to change two-thirds of the personnel of the senate during that time and to make two complete house-cleanings of the house of repre- sentatives. Six years would give time for the working out of presidents policies and would accord him the op- portunity to go to the people and ob- tain favorable congressional majori- ties if the people approved of those policies.

The Public Can Help
Washington Post)

The tasks of the president of the United States have grown so great that only giant of physical strength could hope to pass through the routine without impairment of health. Con- tact and self-restraint on the part of the public will do much to prevent such martyrdom as has sad dened the nation at the present time.

Must Have Relief
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat)

(St. Louis Globe-Democrat)
 The country must by this time be thoroughly convinced that exactions on the presidency must be drastically reduced and at early date. If the increasing business, due to population increase, that is handled by Washing ton offices, especially the executive office, is constantly to be further in- creased by new forms of business never thought of in the past, the need for relief, already almost overpower. ing, will become unacceptable.

Congress Should Act
Chattanooga Times)

With two object lessons-Wilson and Harding in their minds, it would seem certain that congress will take some steps to lessen the <presi- dential burden. Certainly the execu- tive can be relieved of great deal of the routine of the office, of what is practical clerical work. Remedial leg islation is a duty that should not be delayed once the congress is again in session.

There should be more timber crops. Waste lands that now lie idle should be planted to trees that will help to supply the future timber needs in the country. It is dangerous to permit the oppor- tunity to replace timber lands to pass. The timber the lands could produce will be of immense value as an economic asset in the years to come.

GOV. .PINCHOT INVITES
ROAD BUILDING PARLEY
Asks Executives Of States to Send
Representatives to Conference
in Harrisburg. .

HARRISBURG. Pa, February IA
Gov. Pinchot today announced that he
had issued Invitations to the COVER
nors of all states to send representa-
tives to a conference here March 80
and "a for the interchange Of ideas
on road-building policies and prac-
tices. ..-
II am more and more impressed by
the fact that the highway problem is
an interstate problem" said the gov
ernor. No state builds roads for its
own citizens only. The interstate
trade of high-powered motor cars and
trucks puts q heavy tax burden on all
states. Courtesies between states in
the present mutual recognition of
motor licenses seem to open the way
for an exchange of such helpful in
formation as may Tighten the taxpay-
ers' burden in building and maintain
ing state highway systems and as may
promote the safety and convenience
of road travel.
THE purpose of the conference will
be to consider the policy and practice
of state highway construction. meth
DDS of state highway maintenance
and the whole problem Of traff1c reGu-
lations. with specific reference to CO.
operation between the states in such
regulation. I am convinced that
very important reduction in the enor-
nous and unnecessary injury and loss
OF life and limb now caused by reck-
less and unregulated driving can be
brought about by such a conference"
