In his memoirs, Napoleon, painting a word portrait of one of his great generals, says: “Murat was a most singular character. He loved—I may rather say he adored—me. In my presence he was, as it were, struck with awe and ready to fall at my feet. ... Order Murat to attack four or five thousand men in such a direction; he was done in a moment; but leave him to himself, he was an im- becile without judgment. I cannot conceive how so brave a man could be so lache. He was nowhere brave unless before the enemy.’ There he probably was the bravest man in the world. His boiling courage carried him into the midst of the enemy. He was a paladine—in fact a Don Quixote—in the field; but take him to the cabinet, he Was a poltroon without judgment or decision. Murat, though he loved me, did me more mischief than any other person in the world.” There are many Murats, large and small, in this world. All of us know one. Napoleon was great chiefly because he had the very valuable ability to know men and their minds. Epigrammatic estimates of character shine out in his memoirs, They are the estimates of one who believed that men like him. self are either gods or devils. These Observations on character illuminate his own character, : “Great men are like meteors which shine and consume themselves to enlighten the exrth.” “From my first career. I have always commanded myself.” “There are men who have sufficient strength of mind to change their character or to bend to imperative curcumstances.” “Man’s true character ever displays itself in great events.” This would be a fitting epitaph for Napoleon himself: “Great men are those who control boh good luck and good for- tune.” “The greater the man, the less is he opinionative; he depends on events and circumstances.” “Many a one commits a reprehensible action who is perfectly honorable, because a man seldom acts upon natural impulse but upon some secret pas- sion of the moment which lies hidden and concealed within the narrowest folds of his heart.” “Great ambition is the pas- sion of great character, He who is endowed with it may per- form very great or yery bad things; all depends on the prin- ciples which direct him.” Another suitable epitaph for himself: “To haye the right estimate of a man’s character, we must see him in adversity.” Best of Human Fruit Nothing is more significant of men’s character than what they find laughable. This is true because man is the only animal that is struck with the difference between What things are and what they ought to be. The source of laughter and tears come very close together. At the difference between things ‘as they are and as they ought to be we laugh or we weep, it would depend, it seems, on the point of view, or the temperament, And if-life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel, it is the think- ing half of humanity that, at the sight of life’s incongruities, is moved by laughter, the feeling half to tears. It might be more apparent to some if the first statement made in this article had been, “there is nothing more signifi- cant of men’s culture than what they find laughable.” The last thing in which the cultivated man can have community with the vulgar is their pocularity; and we can hardly exhibit more strikingly the wide gulf which separates him from them than by comparing the object which shakes the diaphram of a coal- heaver with the highly complex pleasure derived from real wit- ticism. Humor may not be the greatest of the virtues, yet it is the one of whose possession we most often boast. Who ever heard of a man confessing, “I know I am lacking 1 sense of humor?” Imagine thus boasting of lack in one’s in- rity, or sense of honor! Yet it is natural that no one ever makes the confession. To recognize the lack one would first have to possess sense. the which is manifestly impossible. To explain the nature of laughter and tears is to account for the condition of human life, and no philosophy has as yet succeeded in accounting for the condition of human life. It is sufficient to know that laughter is the best of human fruit, human, and sane, and comforting. Philippine Slavery 2 That girls are being held in servitude in the Province of Negros, Philippines, is the statement made from the office of Governor General Wood as reported by the constabulary, The girls are bond servants. The method employed, usually is to jend small sums, seldom more than $75, to the parents. After several years of service the girls still are in debt. The Cummins Plan The plan designed to force consilidations of the railroads of the country into main competing systems embodied in a bill prepared by Senator Cunmins, Republican, Iowa, provides that the roads be given a certain number of years—three, five or seven—in which to propose voluntary consolidation. At the expiration of that period the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion would issue a consolidation plan embracing all roads not brought together in system during the voluntary period. Oversubscribed Premier Mussolini's appeal for $1,000,000 as the first year’s installment on the American debt, has been greatly over subscribed. Figures show that more than $4,000,000 has Leen donated. Italians in North America gave $1,700,000 and Ital jans in South America donated $849,000. Rome gave £160,000. Turin $600,000, Milan $140,000, the little town of Pisa, $40,000, Genoa $320,000. The army subscribed $60,000, the honor upon him to mark the slosing of the Lo- rarno peace pact, hich Chamber- lain signed in be- alf of Great Brit- in.

AustEy the rest of the guests at a tea which the Bnglish sovereign gave after the signing ceremonies and the king formally invested him with the Order of the Garter and presented Mrs, Chamber- lain with the Insignia of Dame of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Em- pire. Sir Austen is rated as one of Eng- jand’s greatest diplomats. Born in 1863, he was educated at Rugby, Trinity College and Cambridge. From 1895 to 1900 he was civil lord of the admiralty. Later he held the post of, financial secretary to the treasury, from which office he went to that of postmaster-gen- eral, The duties of chancellor of the exchequer and a member of parlla- ment were next to devolve upon him. Immediately pior to the world war he was chairman of the royal com- mission in Indian {finance and cur- rency and from 1910 to 1917, he ©s10~14 or we camren was secretary of state for India, from which office he resigned to be- come a member of the war cabinet. ——._—__—. Poison Gas There was considerable surprise at the recent Arms Traffic Confer- ence at Geneva when the German delegate, going outside the agenda, declared that Germany was irendy to participate in any international conference agreement for the com- Plete suppression of warfare by chemicals or poison gas. ‘Thus the first nation to resort to poison gas warfare is the first to announce its willinigness to ban the future use of the deadly stuff. It may also be noted that during recent years Ger- many has diminished her output of the esually poisonous vocal’ gas. At the instigation of the United States, the other delegates expressed their approval of such a conference, but, so far, nothing has been done to summon an executive assembly. Germany has the equipment for the manufacture of poison gas to a greater extent than any cf her neighbors. There seems no reason to doubt the sincerity of Germany in coming to the conclusion that prohibitive rules should be enforced. She suffered less from the war on her own soil than the Allies did. But were another war to break out during the present generation she would not be so secure. ‘Retaliation would be inevitable. as was shown when the Allies adopted German methods in self-defense. That is why» the time for averting super- fluoys destruction is the present, while men have a chance of dis- cussing the matter more or less calmly. Certainly Germany has re- moved the most important obstacle to an understanding. But it may well be doubted whether such under- standing may be possible to reach. It seems a delus'on .to imagine that a mere paper pledge among those concerned will amount to anything. Some way of enforcing such an agreement by making effective pro- vision for heavy penalties where ‘it ia disregarded must be devised be- fore it becomes feasible, and how to do that w'll be a puzzle. A prudent nation will make virtuous resolu- tions, but will take care to keep it- self in a position where it can pro- tect itself avninst treachery. Gas was prohibited by Interhational con- vention before ‘the war, but under stress’ of circumstances it was used. It ts too powerful a weapon to be ignored by a nation wh'ch feels {ts life is nt stake. It Is the conscien- tious nation that will be at a dis- advantage if an agreement to ban poison gas should be signed at Geneva, The strongest argument against such a treaty is that it would be broken by the more desper ate, or more unscrupulous, com batant, “BAYER ASPIRIN” PROVED SAF Take without Fear as Tolc in “Bayer” Package Unless you see the “Bayer Cross” on package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and Prescribed by physicians over twen- ty-flve years for Coldn Headache Neuritis Lumbago Toothache Rheumatism Neuralgia Pain,, Pain Bach unbroken “Bayer” package tains proven directions.

It does not tell how to shake the many millions of non-voters out of their apathy and indifference. From time to time compulsory voting, with various forms of pgnalties for vote shirkers, has been advocated, but a little thought reveals the futility of that plan. The only cure worth while must comprehend some method of arous- Ing in the Individual mind a deeper interest in the duties and responsi- bilities of citizenrhip, but what that mhethod shall be is problematical.

He claims that the tariff.helps the man- ufacturer, immigration restriction helps labor, the Esch-Cummins act helps the railroads and the federal reserve act helps the banks but that there is no comprehensive law upon the statute books that materially aids the farmer. ‘Despite marked improvements in the last year,” he says, “we still have far to go before we can say agriculture Is in a profitable condi- tion. We have not re-established the industry. “The farmer ts encouraged by the temporary relief affarded by cir- cumstances, and is paying off debts, but is not fooled by the future. Al- lowing for the recent change in price levels he can buy, today with his dollar only about 80 per cent as much as he could get before the war, our best western economlits say. And the most generous figures yet disclored show he earns a net in- come of less than four per cent an- nually on his investment, “Even in taxes farmers are not on an equality with other groups in our industrial Mfe. The agricul. tural industry must be reconstructed and stabilized, A permanent policy for agriculture must be worked out, with the farmer himself a large fac- tor in the program.” 5 Although the senator is opposed to doubtful or experimental laws he believes it is within the power of the federal government to establish agri- culture on the same basis as other industries. en Buy your Hoslery and Silk Under- wear Gifts at The Stuart's Shop, 136 South Center St. ———— My life is but a ilttle span— And yet I do not sigh: A laughing Dewdrop seeks my heart, And, lovers twain, we never part, We both, together, die; And never shadowed by the night Our Jove, until the end, {s bright. > - Vote Shirkers . The Springfield Union reports that ima recent survey.conducted by the Bureau of Municipal Research has convinced that body that indit- ference 1s at the bottom of vote- shirking. The bureau finds ‘that the apathetic citizenship which causes so many men and women voters to shirk thelr duty at the polls aver- ages about the same for the entire country and is to be found in about the same degree in the small com- munities as in the larger citie: The main ‘cause for not votin revealed by the bureau's survey, is lack of Interest in politics and prob- lems of government. If it exists in a larger degree among women than among men, it probably !s due to the fact that women onJy recently acqZ-red the right to vote and with it the moral obligation to interest themselves in the affairs of govern- ment, and.also to the fact that a large percentage of women did not desire the ballot and resent having {t forced upon them. The bureau's survey seems to show that men as well as women fail to register as yoters because they do not wish to disclose their age and that this senstivenesg about age exists in equal proportions among both sexes. It has been set down as accounting for two per cent of the non-voters, men and women alike. Some persons eligible to vote have an unaccountable fear of going to the polls and others stay away be- cause they do not know how to vote | Give Her = Chevrolet for Xmas, His Satanic Majesty When we speak of the devil peo- ple laugh. Jesus did not laugr when he said that Satan desired to sift Peter as wheat. The evangelists were not joing when they recorded the temptation of Jesus by. the devil. Men did not think it funny wisn they heard that Satan entered into Judas. The church fathers thought that they struggled with the devil. Luther threw his Ink-stand at him. The Puritans regarded him og a grim reality. In the medieval plays the devil was the comic character. It’ was then that he acquired horns and hoofs and a tail. He was generally discomfited to the enjoyment of the spectators. The medieval devil has persisted, Our thinking is . not helped by the idea of a personal devil, so the jocular sense remains. But there was »® © tremendous reality behind the conception of Satan, ‘There is a certain’ devil quality in the world. When men trade in youthful virtue, when they seduce children with habit-forming drugs, when they deal in the deadtiy moonshine, when pol'ticlans steal school funds and ‘hospital funds. when labor leaders sell their com- rades, when men deliberately bring on war-—all these seem so (fright- fully inhuman that we can under- stand how men thought some male- volent force was at work in the wotld.

Tt 1s to live positively for the h'gher things; it is to love purity and jns- tice and comradeship. It is to be ever on guard against the unruly urges that are in us.

It continued in olume, assuming large propor- tions, and lasted for several hours. The disturbance does not compare with the eruptions of 1914-15 when mud and rock flowed down the moun- tainside. For several years the peak has emitted smoke columns at in- tervals. ——.————_ More than four million trees were planted last spr'ng in Massachusetts. _> Why not an Essex for Xmas?
