Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 September 1911 — Page 2

* W-F CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT WILL ONLY RECOGNIZE I THAT INDUSTRIAL CONDItIONS HAVE BEEN REVOLUI TIONIZED IN TWENTY YEARS AND INSTEAD OF RIGOR- “ * OUSLY ENFORCING ANCIENT AND ARCHAIC LAWS MAKE A CALM, DISPASSIONATE, CONSERVATIVE STUDY OF PRESENT PROBLEMS THROUGH A COMMISSION, PROSPERITY COULD BE RESTORED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR. The UNDERLYING, basic fact in seeking for the cause of the present dull period of business is that for FIFTEEN YEARS the country has DEVOTED itself WHOLLY to the interests of the PRODUCERS and totally IGNORED THE CONSUMER. What we MUST SEEK is a CALM MIDDLE GROUND. When the Sherman law was passed eighteen or twenty years ago it was to meet certain conditions then existing, like the small criminal combinations to limit production and fix prices. Since that time conditions have arisen which the framers of the Sherman anti-trust legislation could not possibly have foreseen and for which their laws are TOTALLY INAPPLICABLE. Now, instead of RIGOROUSLY enforcing this ANCIENT and ARCHAIC LEGISLATION ' and keeping business disturbed I propose to have a commission of the entire problem and completely ItE Y'lUJF'ifi’e anti-trust legislation. . I would have this commission study problems here and also take, counsel with Germany, England and France, the big industrial nations of Europe, for we must recognize that this trust or combination question is INTERNATIONAL. Conditions are such that to prosecute our own combinations means that we simply give those across the water the benefit.

Whoever Reaches Back Hardest Into the Past Will Go Forward Farthest Into the Future

By President HADLEY of Yale

are few things so important and few so little underJ ' stood as the REAL USE OF TRADITIONS. Some peopie do not revere them at all; others revere them for their 4 sake and care for NOTHING BESIDES. The true man reveres them because they help to keep his IDEALS HIGH and hold them erect in life’s storms. The strongest tree is the one which drives its roots DEEPEST INTO THE GROUND. The taller the tree grows the harder its roots must take hold on the Boil. So it is with the life of a man. HE THAT DESIRES TO REACH FORWARD FARTHEST INTO THE FUTURE WHICH HE WOULD SERVE MUST ALSO REACH BACK HARDEST INTO THE PAST FROM WHICH HE HAS SPRUNG. All our great human institutions are attempts to realize this idea and to get men into these relations. A family has its associations and its traditions which make a man STRONGER for having brothers and sisters and infinitely stronger for being one of a line whose good name he is anxious to maintain.

Wanted—Men With Brains, Energy and Judgment

By ATMORE L. BAGGOT, Chicago Millionaire. Who Has Retired at Fifty

•W” ET ME REPEAT WHAT IS ALREADY WELL KNOWN THE 4 COUNTRY OVER. THE GREATEST SHORTAGE HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE IS IN MEN WITH BRAINS, ENERGY AND JUDGMENT WHO ARE WORKERS. For men possessing these primary qualifications for success OPPORTUNITY COMES A-KNOCKENG. lam sure Ido not overstate the case when I say that a thousand men of just the right sort could slip into ten thousand dollar a year posts tomorrow, but the trouble is that IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER MANY FALL SHORT. Brains without energy are like a hobbled horse. Energy without judgment requires the second, man to .direct the first, and so it goes. Opportunities have MULTIPLIED in a quarter of a century. The United States is moving in a thousand directions where a step had not been taken thirty years ago. The field is BROAD AND LONG, and ibis open to the YOUNG MEN of the country. Success comes with WORK. Hunger SPURS many a boy. No meal ever tastes so good as the one that comes after a hard day’s work. ' Once in the field, it doesn’t do to be satisfied with SMALL THINGS, pig game is never brought down with bird shot or by a blind man. One must NOT TIE HIS AMBITION TO A POST, else its limit will be a small circle.

No Prosperity So Long as Laws of the Past Are In Effect

By Congressman MARTIN U F W. LITTLETON of New York

FOR THE CHILDREN

An Eastern Stofy. The sultan of Wadal Gaudeh, pretending to fly, had marched round in the rear of the Forian army and interposed between ( them and their country. They believed, however, that he was utterly routed and loudly expressed their joy. One vizier remained silent and on being asked by his master why he did not share in the general joy replied that he did not believe in this easy victory and offered to prove that the enemy’s army was even then marching toward them. “How wilt thou do this?” said the sultan. “Bring me a she camel,” replied the vizier, “with a man who knows how to milk.” The camel was brought and well washed, and the milk was drawn into a clean bowl and placed with a man to guard it on the top of the sultan’s tent. Next morning the vizier caused the bowl to be brought to him and found the milk quite black. So he went to the sultan and said: “Master, they are coming down upon us and have marched all night.” “How dost thou know that?” “Look at this blackened milk.” “In what way has it become black?” “The dust raised by the feet of the horses has been carried by the wind.” Some laughed at this explanation, but others believed and looked out anxiously toward the west. In a short time the manes of the hostile cavalry were seen Shaking in the eastern horizon. Then followed the battle in which the Forian sultan was slain.—Philadelphia Ledger. Inventor of the Compass. Flavio Gioia Introduced or improved the mariner’s compass about the conclusion of the eleventh century. Previously a needle was magnetized -by the loadstone run through a piece of straw or wood and floated in a saucer or shallow dish containing water. Then as the old chronicler says: “The point Infallibly turns toward the pole Swhen the night is dark and nd neither star nor moon is ey set a light beside the needle, and they can be assured that the star is opposite to the point, and thereby the mariher is directed on his course. This is an art which cannot deceive.” —National Magazine. Authentic and Genuine. No better illustration of the difference between the two words “authentic” and “genuine” can be given than that given by Bishop Watsop. He says: “A genuine book is one written by the person whose name it bears as the author. An authentic book is one that relates matters of fact as they really happened. A book may be genuine without being authentic, and a book may be authentic without being genuine.” To this Webster adds, “Some, writers speak of an authentic document in the sense of a document produced by its professed author, not counterfeit”—Chicago News.

A Flower Game.

A new version of “drop the handkerchief” is played by forming a ring with one child staying out. Each child takes the name of a flower or shrub. The child outside the ring has a small branch in her hand, which she drops behind the player, calling out the flower name of the player. As she does this she starts to run around the ring with the one called close at her heels. Whichever reaches the vacant place first wins, and the other must stay outside the circle. If she forgets the flower name or calls the wrong, one, she must pay a forfeit. All forfeits are paid when the game is ended. An Indian Game. Flying the arrow is a game that Indian boys like to play, and they are very skillful at it. A clever player sometimes has ten in the air at a time, but you can be glad if you have three arrows up at once. Provide yourself with a bow and several arrows. Shoot up in the air, and tpe aim of the game Is to have as many arrows as possible up in the air before the first airrow falls to the ground. Alertness in fitting the arrow to the string is the most important part, and the sending of the first arrow way up high is the other necessary achievement. Street Candies. The candies, cakes, etc., that are sold from push carts in the streets soon get covered with dust and germs, and every child should remember Kipling’s lines to the children of India, for they are as true here as there: Them that takes cakes Which the Parsee man bakes Makes dreadful mistakes. Dorothy’s Mustn’ts. "I’m sick of ‘mustn’ts,’ ” said Dorothy D.; “Sick of ’mustn’ts’ as I can be. From early morn till the close of day I hear a ’mustn’t’ and never a ‘may.’ It’s ‘you mustn’t lie there like a sleepyhead’ , And ‘you mustn’t sit up when it’s time for bed,’ ‘You mustn't cry when I comb your curls,’ ‘You mustn’t play with those noisy girls,’ ‘You mustn’t be silent when spoken to,’ ‘You mustn’t chatter as parrots do,’ ’You mustn’t be pert, and you mustn’t be proud,” ‘You mustn’t giggle or laugh aloud,’ ‘You mustn’t rumple your nice clean dress,’ ‘You mustn’t nod in place of yes.’ So all day long the ‘mustn’ts’ go I 1 Till I dream at night of an endless row, Of goblin ‘mustn’ts’ with great big eyes That stare at me in shocked surprise. Oh, I hope I shall live to see the day When some one will say to me, ‘Dear, yovi may,‘ A> For I’m sick of ‘mustn’ts,’ ’’ said Dorothy D.; "Sick of ‘mustn’ts’ as I can be!” —Ella Wheeler Wilcox
