By LEONARD A. BARRETT
CHARACTER

HARACTER is most important
" factor in the economic and social
world. Remove character from BUSH
ness and you have bankruptcy. Re
move character from society and you
have the downfall of civilization.
What is this subtle, hidden and mys-
terious force which is of so much
value in life? What is character? 1t
is easier to tell what it is not than
to tell what 1t is.
Character is not what a person as
sumes to be. Mere conventional imi-
tation is not character. Imitation or
pretense is like a veneered piece of
furniture: it soon discloses the "real'
when the outer surface is removed.
Character is not what person thinks
himself to be. His standards NAV be
very low in the scale of moral values
and thus he deceives himself. Char
acter is not what some other person
thinks we are. The opinions which
others may have of us is our reputa-
ton, and reputation is not necessarily
sumption, imagination nor is it repu-
tation.
What then Is character? Character
is what a person is in the organic
unity of his secret thoughts. 1t is our
true self divorced from all assump-
tons. No persons character can rise
higher than his ideals, and ideals are
thoughts reaching out for the highest
possible realization.
Character expresses itself in some
unconscious moment, In some un-
studied deed. When taken unawares
a person expresses his real self A
heart set right and strong is not likely
to go wrong when temptation comes
In the flash of moment. II is not so
much in studied act as In an uncon-
scious act that character is usually
revealed.
A person always lives his moral life
from within outward. -"Out of the
heart are the issues Of life" 1t has
been said that a person can success
fully lie with his mouth but not with
his eyes. The face Is the index of
character, because 1t is the mirror of
the thoughts and intents of the heart.
HE who steals my purse steals trash,
but he who steals my good name not
only takes that which enriches him
but makes me poor indeed"

Alexander Hamilton Man
to Be Loped or Hated

How they hated him, and yet no
public figure, save Washington, was
so adored. Men were either Alexan-
der Hamilton's frenzied enemies or
else his unasking followers. His fam
Ing personality left no middle ground.
From the day that he came to Amer
lea from the West Indies, sent by
charitable subscriptions to receive an
education, genius set him apart from
his fellows.
A boy of twenty, serving gun,
even the reserved Washington was
won to him at once, and made him
his military secretary; generals re-
ceived his counsel eagerly. and con-
gress covered before the lash of his
tongue and pen.s
Born out of wedlock, he moved as
royalty as prince of the blood; fash
Toned with the exquisiteness of
Greek carving, his face was only
saved from beauty by its strength;
and that proud heiress, Betty Schuy-
Ter, had given him her hand in glad
ness.-From "Sons of the Eagle" by
George Creel.
