Cynicism is trying to come back into style. It’s) herein te outside Bismarck). 5.00 6.00 | the new plays, the latest’ novels;-the movie. sub- titles — even occasionally in the Congressional Record. But today’s cynics are tyros compared with Sir| Yenry Wotton, who, back in the 80’s, enunciated qese cynical epigrams and paradoxes: “The one charm of marriage is'that it makes a *e of deception abosolutely necessary ‘for both; arties.” “Being natural is simply a pose, and the most’ irritating pose I know.” “Coriscience and cowardice are really the same things. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm.” | “Those who‘ are faithful know only the trivial side of love; it is the faithless who know love's} tragedies.” b “The only way to. get rid of a nets is to yield to it.” “The things one feels certain about ie never |i true.” : The cynic sacrifices sincerity to smartness. He mistakes the flash of his wit for the sun-glow: of. truth. “Nothing is ever quite true,” said Lord Henry. “Modern morality. consists innaccepting the: stand.) ard of one’s age.” Lord: Henry — can’t you place him? Well, he was responsible for the moral ruination of Dorian Gray, the heartbreak and self-destruction of the youthful actress Sylvia Vane, the murder of the; artist -Basil- Hallward, the accidental shooting of |‘ James Vane, and more. How) did’ Lord: Henry: accomplish this? words, “Mere words! S: How terrible they’ were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One: could: not’ escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them!, Mere words! Was there any- thing so real as. words?” ‘i Cynicism is, mostly , immoral; mostly lies. The-cynic with his epigram tries: to cheat the epigrams: are truth. He alyays cheats himself; sometimes: hej}: / cheats. others. ° ‘ Immorality? Well, Sir Henry Wotton — the world’s greatest cynic— was the character, the mouthpiece of Oscar Wilde in his novel, “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” The cynicisms you've read above are the cynicisms of Wilde, the Eng- lish author whose unmentionable-crimes brought; him toa félon’s cell. Lies? Test his rapier-like- word-thrusts: with’ the test of common sense.. Is nothing ever quite true? Your father’s pro- tection, your mother’s love, your loyalty to your’ school, your devotion to your religion}. your “friendship? “. Seratch a cynic and you'll find either a saphead or a sorehead | ROCKEFELLER’S SECRET Edith, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, richest! man in the world, gets into the headlines by. “agreeing to disagree”. with her husband, Barold F. McCormick. They separate. The most interesting angle of the case is ‘the statement that Mrs\ McCormick has. been abroad for eight years, studying the new’ psychology.. This again demonstrates that families “run true to form,” generation after generation. For investigating is the chief characteristic of we prominent. members jot the Rockefeller fani- ily. * John D. Rockefeller, when he was a young: man; was a clerk and bookkeeper in Cleveland: Prob- ably he still would be holding that same job, had it not: been for his investigating turn of mind.’ His ‘investigations convinced him that the pe- troleum industry, then in its’ infancy, would be in need’ of many pipelines and refineries. . John-D.’s-investigations also convinced him that he could not build the pipe lines and refMeries un- aided. To-get.results fast, he gathered about-him the ablest business talent of his generation—such as Flagler, Rogers, Archbold, Harkness-and.“‘Pipe Line” Dan‘O’Day. Those men-built:the Rockefeller fortune. Now John D: has his Rockefeller Foundation, | Snvestigating discases.all over the world.
