Catholic Horn Companion Aii Age ol Insecure Uurest. New Bern Journa . The evil of today if ths base commercialism, which places val ue upon the dollar, in preference to the individual. It isthe spirit which demands money, that an ostentatious per sonal display and parade may be made, which however vulgar it may be, finds, acceptance because of its dollar evidence. The unfest of today is seen on every sid,inthe attempt to over do.'Und the individual sacrifice of character, Jiealth and peace of mind is quickly made in the reach ing out for the object sought To feel strongly, to stand hrm- 1 ' X Z 4. y lor rigno Dnneipies, uu puwu to high standard of moral worth as objects worthy of thought and attention, these receive scant con sideration, and their advocates are given the smile of derision. -,The insecurity of the spirit ot oday is its refusal to be content to build solidly and substantial- y, through daily effort of toil Rather the gamble to get at,luUL8r W1U nave someming once the money, which ought to take years of toil to accumulate, is sought, and success of the gam bier means only extravagancy and vice. v . In the days when strenuosity had not its daily interpretation in the lives of the people, there was repose and contentment, even though the people were in perilous times, for high ideals and a certain definite moral standard had places in the hearts and minds of the people. It is not fhat generosity, toler ance and numamty ao nox pre vail today, for they do, but they are intense, passionate, commit ting their work, to hurry for ward to some new object. This commercialism of today has invaded the South, placing the dollar mark before moral worth or intellectual merit. It makes rude invasion in soci ety, breeding vulgar display in stead of old time courtesy, and promoting the organization of social cliques, the initiation into these being the ability to prove wealth. And vet with the rush of the times, it is possible that earnest ness in acting and living may prove some slight banner, to check In a degree, to perhaps re claim some of the less heedless, For it is only earnestness for right principles which can win. and through its honesty and sin cerity of purpose, prove its sta - bility, and gain success for right when everything: may eeem inse - cure and perhaps, lost. Our Pi -nl nts Killing tor Fun ' It is doubtful if there is any an imal in the world that kills other animals for fun. Yet we have had presidents of the United States that have done precisely this thing. We do not mean to say that they went into , . euaUu,.al?iJnu. , xul we uo -shv Liiai iney uiu.: what was more cruel and less use ; ml in leaving: the duties of their presidential oflices t o wound and kill harmless creatures for fun. Other presidents, like Lincoln and Garfield, and great comman ders, like Grant, Lee and Sher man, were . noted for their kind ness to God's lower creatures. Great lawyers have preferred to spend their time in the study and practice of their profession and protecting the interests of their clients. Great physicians have thought it better to spend their leisure hours in studying new discover ies in medical science and new methods of saving lives and re lieving suffering. But some of our presidents seem to have found no better oc cupation for their leisure hours than the wounding and killing of harmless animals for fun. We see in The Washington Post that on one president's last shooting trip the presidential party killed 385 birds. As to how many they wounded and did not kill there is no record per haps 385 more. If our Christian bible is true and "not a sparrow falls to the ground without His notice"these to answer for some time; If the bible were not true if the countless millions who have lived and died believing it were all mistaken and there were no punishment for needless cruelty either here or hereafter, still we think thev should find for their days of leisure more useful em ployment or more harmless fun and set a better example to the millions of children which have been gathered in our American Bands of Mercy," whose mot toes are, "Glory to God," "Peace on Earth," "Kindness. Justice and Mercy to every harmless liv ing creature." j Doubtless if these presidents could in their boyhood have be longed to "Bands of Mercy"their ideas of killing for fun would have been very different from what they now are, and instead of finding fun in killing they would have preferred to kill only what they needed for food. If they thought as we do they would get more pleasure in rid ing by our "GiffordFountain" twice a day and seeing the thirs ty horses drinking there. Geo. T. Angell in Dumb Animals.

The man who is always giving advice never has any time to fol low it. 1 If a young man does not reach s for his mustache when a young , ladv enters the room it is a sign that he has no mustache.

It is pleasant safe an a aeliable, GE1STHG A FAY0& lo it Graciously- Do Not Make the Recipient Feel Contemp . tible. The essence of truest kindness lies in the grace with which it is performed. Some men seem to discount all gratitude, almost make it impossible, by the way in which they grant favors. They make you feel so small, so mean, so inferior; your cheeks burn with indignation in the acceptance o the boon yoir seek at their hands You feel it is like a bone thrown at a dog instead of the quick, sympathetic graciousness that forestalls y our explanations and waives your thanks with a smile, the pleasure of one friend who has been favored with the oppor tunity to be of service to another The man who makes another feel like an insect reclining on a red- hot stove while he is receiving a favor has no right to expect fu ture gratitute; he should feel sat isfied if he receives forgiveness. Let us forget the good deeds we have done by making them seem small in comparison with the greater things we are doing and the still greater acts we hope to do. This is true-generosity and will develop gratitude in the soul of him who has been helped unless he is so petrified in selfish ness as to make it impossible. But constantly reminding a man of the favors he has received from you almost cancels the debt. The care of the statistics should be his privilege: you are usurping his prerogative when you recall them. Merely because it has been our good fortune to be able to serve some one we should not act as if we held a mortgage on his immortality and expect him to swing .the censer of adulation forever in our presence. From TKo Pnirar rf TViiVi " tvw Will iam Ueorere Jordan, f uDlisned by Brentano's. ; . : Is Success a Million? Life is like a whist game; one should have the skill; also one must have the cards. Fate deals; the player picks up his hand. Or to get at it by another trail YVhat is "success?" Is it a mill ion dollars? Hardly, since in the greedy argument of folk bent on worldly victory a million has grown to mean no more tnan pocket money. Ji one be bent for business triumph nowadays, he will no more stop at a million than one bent for New York City will stop at Rahway. .. But suppose "success were represented by "a million." There be twelve million of the male youth of this country for an au dience when one preaches on "sue cess." Is there "a million" wait ing for each should each observe those precious rules? Assume, for argument, that a seat in the Senate of the United States to be the standard of success." There are doubtless ten thousand folk in this coun try, each of whom would make a perfect Senator; there are assur edly one hundred thousand each of whom would be an improve ment on any of a full one-half of those who at present hold seats, Yet the whole number of Senate seats is ninety. It is plain, then, that though ten thousand may be perfect for the place, nine thou sand, nine hundred and ten will be denied. And so with money with a "business success." Let every man be penect in nis worn: 01 wits and hand, perfect of thought and deed and habit, yet shall a majority go empty of that "suc cess. Many are caned out lew are chosen, for there isn't enough to go around that is, when one speaks of a "business success. Now, if one were to preach peace or content, or love of family, or the joy of a good book, or the blessing of a clean life as a stand ard of "success," everyone might hone. But Mr. Duke and his fel low-success-preachers don't; they preach money money and its capture as that one "success which for its attainment should engage wholly and solely the body and the soul of man.

OBPHAI CLASS From Oxford Asylum Visit Sea board and Jackson Masonic Picnic Suggested. (From Orphan's Friend.) Dr. Ramsay kindly assisted the Class in general, and the teacher and manager in particular, in en joying their stay at Seaboard. He is a gentleman of the old school, cultured, courteous and gentle. It is in consideration of his deep sympathy for the cause in whose interest we were the guests of his town. The population of Seaboard is possibly 175. Hence, we were surprised to see the Methodist church full of people, especially. since it nas been many years since the Class has visited this in dustrious village. The net pro ceeds of the concert were $38.55 Few more people could have been seated in the Methodist church: where the concert was given They seemed to heartily enjoy the children's attempt to please them. However, some were dis turbed in the . latter partbf the program by an . approachin storm. The brethreji were unwilling to stop with the door receipts. While six of them were waiting in out of the rain after the con cert, Bro. J. H. Ramsay received their contributions to the amount oLjf 6.25. Next morning that industrious Mason, Brother Vick, hustled about and received $12.50 more, which ran the pro ceeds up to $57.39, and thatis what we call "doing the thing up brown." There are some live men at Seaboard, to be sure. Some would say: "That is very good . tor oeaDoard. uut we wish to say: "That is very good for any town.'' The activity and success of this small ' Lodge in this small town reminds us of the favorite adage frequently repeated by a colored friend: ,"Honey, size don't count fur nuffln; if it -did a cow could Outrun a rabbit. Dr. ' Moore, of Jackson, met us at Guinberry on our way to his town Thursday morning. He and Bro. S. J. Calvert escorted us to our homes upon our arriv al at Jackson. We were in pri vate homes with Brethren E. J Gay, W. II. Buff aloe and Rev. E. E. Rose. ' The rest of the Class were entertained at the Cleveland and Burgwyn Hotels as the guests of Brethren E. J. Peebles, Charles Erhardt, J. S. Grant, M F. Stancell, R. T. and L. Stephen son, S. J. Calvert, W. P. Moore and J. Scull. There were, practically, two Committees, in the field working energetically for the concert at Jackson. The special committee appointed to conduct the affair were Brethren M. F. Stancell, W. P. Moore and S. J. Calvert. Then these were supported when called upon by the regular Orphan Asy lum Committee, Brethren E. J Peebles. E. S. Grant and J. L, Bradley. . .. ' The plan at Jackson was some what different from that of most towns. Very many of the mem bers of the Lodge live in the coun try and cannot conveniently at tend a concert at niaht. Some of them had not had the pleasur of attending one of our concerts, They seemed agreeably astonish, ed upon witnessing the work of zae cmiaren. ine concert was given at 3:30 in the afternoon that i friends from a distance might witness it. The children had taken a nap after dinner, as usual, and were refreshed and cheerful during the whole perform ance. The court house was just packed. As a result Bro. Peeb les holds our receipt for $51.01 The class, of course, was delight- ed at this success, but the breth4 ren were more so as there had been great doubt in their minds as to the wisdom of a 3:30 con cert and it was only decided upon to grant a privilege to the breth ren at a distance. A portion of this amount came from a collec tion taken for the benefit of the Class at .the Methodist prayer meeting that night, at which the children sang upon invitation of Bro. Rose, the pastor, a whole souled Mason as well. Whether religion and Masonry go "togeth er as twin companions, I do not profess to say, but of one thing 1 am sure, there are no better friends to be found anywhere than the Class finds in the good ministers of the different church es. It must surely be true that the Orphan Asylum type of Ma- sonry and religion go togetner, or else our cause.would not ap-J peal so deeply to the ministers of God at every point. In connection with Jackson and Seaboard the Manager wish es to make one other statement before saying "good-bj-e." There is scarcely a better point in Eas tern Carolina for a Masonic l'ic- nic than is to be found in these two communities, if they would take the lead and solicit the co operation of neighboring Lodges and citizens. This conclusion is based upon a knowledge of tl kind of men and the kind of com munity requisite to run a Mason Picnic as discovered at other Masonic Picnics in the State. lere is a prophecy: "Just so ure as the demand creates the supply, so surely will there be a Masonic Picnic somewhere in this territory of Seaboard and Jack son before many moreyears have elapsed." The children wished to mention their gratitude to that kind- hearted Brother Peebles for the iced drinks which so refreshed them after the concert at Jack son that warm afternoon. A Creed for Taxpayers. In our editorial on taxation two weeks ago we might have stated our creed with a little more clearness. We do so now: The heavier a people allows it self to be taxed (either directly or indirectly) for extravagant governmental machinery, for ex orbitant salaries, unnecessary military force, and subsides or favors, to. the wealthier classes, the poorer it becomes and the greater is the evidence of Its back wardness. " Within reasonable limits, the heavier a people taxes itself for the general upbuilding of the community to promote intelli gence by good schools and to quicken transportation by good roads, etc. the richer it becomes and the greater the evidence of its- progressiveness. The great danger in America is that the people may be impover ished without knowing: it by the insiduous indirect tariff and rev enue taxes. JUany a man who protests vehemently against pay ing his just share of the taxes for educating: his own children and building up his own community, pays twice as much, indirectly and uncomplainingly, for Philip pine wars and Grand Army pen sions. Wise were the words ut tered by William Pitt, "the Great Commoner" of England, more than a hundred years ago: "To levy a direct tax of seven per cent is a dangerous experiment in a free country, and may incite revolt; but there is a method by which you can tax the last rag from the back and the last bite from the mouth, without caus ing a murmer against high taxes and that is to tax a great many articles of daily use and necessity so indirectly that the people will pay them and not know it."

But however more attractive city life may apiear, it lacks in the genuine comfort and. indepen dence to be found on the farm. The modem conveniences of the day, are not all for the' city, for with rural free delivery, che telephone and good roadways or railroad facilities, the farm is within tonch and easy reach of the day's happenings, while it preserves its distinctive individu al features. ; It is the thoroughly kept up and improved farm, that adds to its owner's resources each year, both in an increased value of the property; and in its productive value. v The farmer who makes his farm better each year, is practically making his farm a bank. Its increasing fertility and yield ing capacity are equivalent to dividends, the farm itself being the capital stock, which as its productiveness increases'becom es more valuable ah asset, through . its increasing property value and the yield it gives through its productiveness. But the charm of the farm of today, is that it can have the city advantages in many ways, yet preserve its independence,and find within its own resources com forts which cannot be realized in the city. Isolation on a farm todav, is only, as the farmer makes St, for tne improvements oi tne age place every, farm within easy reach of town or city.
