Tod a Y
Powerful Church.

Thank the Lord for Borah.
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE.

Beware of how you get into a
fight with the ancient and powerful
Roman Catholic church. For de-
tails ask Monsieur Herriot, socialist
prime minister of France.
As little anti-religious "ges-
ture" he abolished the French em-
bassy at the Vatican, refusing to
recognize the pope's influence and
position in world diplomacy.
In every corner of France the
battle began, in workshops, in uni
versities, in peasant villages.
Then came financial trouble, and
the French cabinet, with Herriot at
the top, began tottering.
Today's news tells of the re-es-
tablishment of the French embassy
at the Vatican. The church that
has stood for centuries will stand a
while longer.
Mr.. Duell, who will know better
next time, sued Lillian Gish. He
lost his suit, and when it was over
found himself under bonds to an
swer a charge of perjury. He says,
81 am the worlds worst witness" "
That isn't the worst of his trou-
bles. He had the worlds worst
luck in the lawyers against him
They included Messrs. Max Steuer
and Louis Levy.
If you ever go into court and
find Steuer and Levy beaming on
either side of your opponent, settle.
That's the best legal advice you
ever got for nothing.
Fowler Mccormick, grandson of
great harvester trust fortune, is
working as day laborer in har-
vester plant shooting out heavy
metal castings.
There's a hero for you," says
public opinion, pointing at the young
man. And, "There's wise father
for you," pointing at the young
mans father.
John d. Rockefeller himself
writes, praising the young gentle
man, telling him he will be a great
man some day. All papers print
the letter. but fathers who think
their sons may be worth while
should do little thinking for them
selves.
Bear in mind that your son has
only one handspring and be careful
how you risk breaking it by the
wrong kind of work or the wrong
kind of discipline.
John D. Rockefeller admires his
grandson. But Mr.. Rockefeller
probably didn't get into the oil busi-
ness by digging oil wells, or pros
pecting through dreary years, or
peddling oil out of wagon.
He went into oil through the top.
This writer knew young man
whose father owned big publish
ing business in New York. The
-.xyoung man was fine human speci-
men, was put to work in the press
room in a red flannel short and
everybody said fine"
When he got out of the press
room that young man never went
near the publishing house again
He had had enough of it. The
publishing business went to pieces,
he drifted into a big bankers Of
fee, and that was that.
Men succeed, and rule other
men, by the use of their mental
handspring. The three greatest
rulers of men in history are Alex
ander, Caesar and Napoleon. None
of them started in as, a simple sol
der in the ranks. Alexander began
as mere boy, with armies under
him, and at 80 was ruler of the
world.
Caesar started in Roman politics,
became a soldier, went to Gaul and
grew powerful enough to frighten
the senate and he ruled the world,
including Rome.
Napoleon went to a military acad-
emy, studied and read books, used
his brain, and he ruled the world.
To have a son worth while. give
him the best chance you can. First,
good health, then education, then 4
good start.
Arrange, if you can, to have your
sons pleasures depend on what he
actually earns. Try to make il
worth while for him to work hard
offering the best reward you can.
Caesar wouldn't have crossed the
Rubicon for a dollar day or to
. get nice letter from grandpa.
Alexander wouldn't have swan
the river or led his Macedonians
through the line of Persian ele-
phants il he hadn't known that he
was making himself ruler of Asia
and the world.
Napoleon wouldn't have fought
and won as he did in Italy had he
not known, what he told his sol.
diers, that the world was before hin
and them-especially him.
Sorting iron castings in foun-
dry may be the right work for
young man destined later to man,
age a gigantic business spread al
over the world, and deal with the
selling of products. But it prob
ably isn't the right business.
Thank the good Lord for Senator
Borah. and twice thanks that Boraf

minds would lead the United States
