THE FIREPLACE.

Those who are supplied with fire
places in their homes feel no resent
ment as the chilly evenings of the
early fall arrive, with their promise
of colder evenings and the winter not
far away. The chill of the fall can be
welcomed because it provides good
reason for a blaze in the fireplace
with the joy and good cheer possible
as the fire crackles and develops, the
ashes drop and the fire burns itself
out. The family gathers about the
fire, MS the lure is strong and there is
promise of a happy hour. 1t is a
proper place to visit, or read, oil
smoke, to relax and dream. The glow
of the fireplace is cheerful, compan.
ionable and inviting. One may watch
the curling smoke, the jets of flame
the rudy glow and find ever new
picture. always interesting.
fireplaces are domestic, belong in
the home where n family is found. The
selfish man and the miser might re
fuse them, certainly could not hope tc
see their charm, glimpse the picture
or feel the spell. The hour of peace
kindly contemplation and retrospec
ton comes as the evening wears away
and the fire burns low, the hour will

life. Those hours come only in tn
home. They are for the generous. thu

ing made for government officials, ospe-
cially those in the cabinet and other high
offices. A very large number of tie
people who thus intrudeN themselves,
have no real business to transact or If
they do come on a pretext of business,
their demands either are so impossible
or so trivial as not to require the at
tention of the officials they bore with
their presence.
What is true in public office is re-
enacted to a large extent in every bust
ness establishment throughout The land.
Nearly every executive whose duty it is
to meet the public, finds large part
of his time taken up with visitors who
have no real business with him. Often
the entire day is so employed and when
he closes his desk at night ne really has
transacted no business at all.
Men of large responsibilities, particu-
larry those in the financial centers and
in big industries have found it necessary
to hedge themselves about with secre-
taries and office boys and other guard
ians in order to keep pace with their
tasks. Even so, the number of people
with no real business to transact who
manage to slip by for an interview. is
appalling. Nor is the busy man beset
entirely in his office. The United States
mails are loaded to capacity with thou
sands OF letters. circulars, propaganda
magazines and sheets carefully mailed 10
busy men all over the country. Most
OF these are thrown into waste baskets
by secretaries but they add to the cx-
pense and time OF doing business and
accomplish nothing. They form a prin-
cipal reason why the postal rates are
high and the service sometimes Door.
Most people have no adequate idea
OF time nor its value. Yet nowhere in
the world do folks rush about as they
do in America. Men and women hurry
along like they had not Z minute to lose
yet often they are on trivial errands Oh
going nowhere in particular.
AS Mr.. Hughes so we'll says, we dc
not give enough time to leisurelv think
ling, to calm and considerate judgments
to careful execution of Our tasks. We
run along from day to day at mad
pace, meeting many peOple Dut llltDihii's
little knowledge that is useful, yet suf
fcring many Earring annoyances.
The physical hurry is reflected in OIL
mental hurry. We express half-formeC
Iopinions and allow Our actions to b.
guided by halfmature principles. Hence
we do much of Our business badly anC
use up terrific lot of energy that Tin
dermines OUR health and efficiency bu
pays no dividends.

HENRY FoRD's CHARGES

Y Whatever NAV be the merits OF Henry
Ford's charges against Secretary OF War
Weeks, and regardless of whether the
former would have been able to produce
and distribute fertilizers at great saw
ing to American farmers had he acquired
the Muscle Shoals project, it would not
be surprising if his recent statement con-
corning the matter should greatly en-
barrass the present Republican admins
tration. This prospect seems plausible
particularly IN the light of the protested
solicitude of the administration for the
welfare of the farmers.
The maximum of damage would be
done to certain political fortunes if Mr..
Ford should make good his assertion
that the secretary of war had studiously
str;ven to prevent him from acquiring
the property and was determined to sell
it out piecemeal. Mr.. Weeks might be
able to show that the government was
bound to sell the Gorgas plant to the
Alabama Power Company; but to estab-
lish that as a fact would not necessarily
disprove Mr.. Ford's charge of animus.
Doubtless it will seem to most Amer
leans that the matter has been bungled
by the government, irrespective OF
whether any untoward influences, poll
teal or otherwise, were brought to bear
against Henry Fords interests. The
/ government has temporized, at best, and
/ there has been no little clubbing on its
part. If private business should be
| conducted in that manner, the logical re-
suit would be heavy loss.
! Most telling, probably will be the poll.
| teal effect of Mr.. Fords statement upon
the farmers. The prospect held out tc
them by that industrial genius was high
! ly alluring. For many years they hat
been compelled to pay high prices fol
fertilizers, and wher the prospect of ex
tremely cheap fertilizers. in unlimited
quantities was held out to them, anc
that, too, by man who had wrough
wonders in the industrial world, they
were unable to reconcile the govern
ment's hesitancy with its avowed desir
to do everything possible to aid them
Therefore, if Henry Ford should be

might easily make the Muscle Shoal
matter an outstanding political issue 81

rate must be devised that will take in
all the taxes that arc levied instead ol
Just federal taxes. Obviously cut in
federal taxes will do no good if it is
offset Immediately by an increase in
city. county or state taxes or a conbi-
nation of them. That in effect is hap
pening in most states.
There is no larger question before the
people of the United States today than
that of taxation. This applies particu-
larly to the taxes that are levied on
industries and upon real estate. Tax
exemption is after all, only one part OF
the entire complex whole. A proper
solution will depend largely upon the
manner in which we readjust our entire
taxation system. That such readjust-
ment is coming, there seems little doubt.

TEMPUS FUGIT

Some of Mr.. Hughes pronunciamentos
as secretary of state have failed to elicit
popular response largely because they
have SO often dealt with matters about
which the average citizen was not well
informed. But in lifting his voice in
protest against the waste of time and
energy by public officials occasioned by
incessant demands from people who have
no real business to transact, the secre-
tary at once appeals to nearly every
businessman in America.
That the late President Harding's lie
terminated in the midst OF a presidential
term largely was due to the demands
made upon his strength by the public
aside from his strict official duties. He
particularly exhausted his strength on {
tour in which he tried to rise to The
expectations of the throngs that crowdes
to see him. This is quite typical o
America. We expect too much of tina
sort of thing from those we place il

WHEN MAN IS NOT GREAT

human beings are supposed 10 DC l.!c
most adaptable of all animals. They are
also supposed to be superior to other
creatures in that they have a sense of
humor. Yet when two men have a
grudge against each other, and get to
fighting, they seem to have no mental
adaptabilty whatever, and to be utterly
devoid of sense Of humor. If they
knew how funny" they were at such
times, would they return quickly to
normal? No; they would become all the
more Infatuated.
Such is the unbalancing effect of
strife that two Oklahoma newspapers not
long ago waged bitter fight on each
other over the question of the compare
tive size and greatness of their respective
cities. No lives were sacrificed or bones
broken; 50, one might assume that the
people of Oklahoma got lot of fun out
of battle of words. Perhaps they didn't
| though, as this set-to was sort of pre-
liminary engagement; it was quickly fol-
lowed by other manifestations of belliger-
ence in the Sooner state.
However, one of the newspapers was
not content to make the assertion that
the city in which it is published was
larger and greater than the city in which
the other has its daily being. The for
mer had to put in some words for itself.
Anybody ought to know that it was the
greater newspaper; not only greater
than its antagonist in the controversy
concerning the size of the cities thus
brought into conflict, but the greatest
in the entire state.
In this phase of the dispute the news
paper which laid claim to superlative
greatness had an advantage. One might
think that it had anticipated long age
lust such quarrel. For it had obtained
a legal monopoly of the right to make
that claim in so many words. Other
newspapers might spring up, gain sur
: passingly wide circulation and become
the favorite of the masses, but it coult
not, in so many words, advertise it:
achievements i'll those respects. 1t couit
not print the fact that it was the great
est paper. because the right to put sucl
an assertion into type had been pre-
empted by publication which, mavhap
had in the meantime fallen into disfavor
, Having registered in the United States
Patent Office its claim to superlativ,
greatness, and thus making a legal trade

EVENING SONGS.

l.
The birds have hid. the winds are low,
The brake is awake, the grass aglow:
The bat is the rover,
No bee on the clover,
The day is over,
And evening come.
The heavy beetle spreads her wings.
The toad has the road, the cricket sings:
The bat is the rover,
No bee on the clover,
The day is over.
And evening come,
1t is that pale, delaying hour
When nature closes like a flower,
And on the spirit lies
The silence of the earth and skies.
The world has thoughts she will not own
When shade and dream with night have
flown;
Bright overhead, a star
Makes golden guesses what they are.
III.
Now is Light. sweet mother. down the west
With little Song against her breast;
She took him up, all tired with play,
And fondly bore him far away.
While he sleeps, one wanders in his stead,
A fainter glory round her head,
She follows happy waters after,
Leaving behind low, ripping laughter.
w.
Behind the hill top drops the sun,
The cured heat falters on the sand,
While evenings ushers, one by one,
Lead in the guests of Twilight Land.
The bird is silent overhead,
Below the beast has laid him down;
Affair." the marbles watch the dead,
The lonely steeple guards the town.
The south wind feels its amorous course
To clustered sweet in thickets found;
The leaves obey its tender force.
And stir 'twixt silence and n. sound.
