He did it by seizing the opportunity off r by a new industry, oil. He was an organizer by iastinot.xle brought order and system into the produc tion, refining <and distribution qt oil. He made so much moury in ,l fitfd wfceua men failed, thajb hU unsuccessful rivals abused him of almost every crime in the business calendar. He was one of the worst fated men in America when he re tired from business forty years ago. When h? died the other day at 97 hcj was perhaps the best-loved man in America. For in those f >vtv years lh)e had givpn away, for the benefit of humanity, almost all of his vase fortune. He endowed ^du ?atic;i, medical n search and manv other great movements for th^ betterment of the world. And the world's judgment ?f Mr. Rocke feller changed. > It is never wise to brand any man as a villain until time has hod its chance to reveal his real "charac ter. Mr. Rockefeller was fortunat, in living to see himself vindicated. MONEY and men I know and 1\ri\'e k-.iown many of | the world's wealthiest m< 11.1 do not, think of many who valued nonoy | for its own sake. Most of the rich n-.fcn I have known havo felt that, their wealth placed an obligation! upon them to use their mwy for, the service of their fellow-mon. An-' drew Carnegie said on&* that it was sinful for any man to die rich; antf he gave his fortune away before he died. I Hunry Ford once told mr that hj bought out his stockholders b-~causr> ^ thoy wanted the Ford profits for themselves, in divide-ids. Ho felt they did not own the money; it bi long^d to the people who mado and bought Ford cars, and he wanted to usq the profits to pay the work era more and build cheaper and better cars. The fact that a few men hav* used Itfreicr gijbat wealth Selfishly doqs not seem to me to warrant de nunciation of all rich meu a? ene mies of the people. OPPORTUNITY .... vision Mr. Rockefeller, like all othtr men who have accumulated wealth by their own efforts; made money be cause he seized opportunity wthich was open to everybody. Others may have seen it, but ho was able to uti able. CHARACTEB . . . . essential I have seen many men fail, and in most instances I could traw^ the cause of failure to one essen tial injrrodi^rit of success?character All the ability, technical skill, "smartness" in tW world will not brinpr enduring success unless thos * qualities are backwd up by the most important of all?character. I have oft^n tried to define "char acter," but it is one of those thinprs which ivervbody rccogniz s, but few. can explain in words. It means honrf?t.v, but rrore than legal honesty. It implies an inbred qunh 11y which makes it impossible for thP I niJ>yi to a dishonest thing, to turn ' out a dishonest pif>cc of work, to be .''tricky" in any human re'at'onsbip Mr. Rockefeller's greatest fi# wa* I hia character. Every, neally auee'ss ' fill nan I know has that quality j{ character. i (PlaaM ton Te l\|f f) lizo it It is often said tfaat thoiv ar> on more opportunities. That is tnv. for those who lack vision to see and the courage to grasp tlho> opportunities which lie ready to their hands. I saw a motpr boat going up th St. Johns River the other day, loaded with fr rght for inland Florida I points. The big steamship compeiref had abandoned tJv-ir lines up the river because they did not pay. A bright young man with little cap'tai but lots of energy started the n^v/ freight lino and is getting rich Big fortunes r,rc " b:ing made bv men who saw tho opportunity in such things as radio, aviation and tlio chemieal industries.

Qorpe Lemuel Oran|p?r, vctmr. All most cordially izr?fod t* thi* Congress Wary Of President's Plans Washington, June 7.?There has been so much looafe talk about the "split" in the Democratic party, as a result of the opposition to th?j President 's Supremie Court re organization plan, that some super ficial observers have eonu to the conclusion that Mr Roosevelt has lost his influence with Congress. Nothing could biei farther from the fact. Mr. Roosevelt, as bead of his party, is still the highly-esteemed larder to wlvm Senators and Hvp resentativrs of the majority look for guidance; and anything the President wants which the legisla Stive kjaders regard r.s reasonable or desirable, he can get. There is no "i'.ud" Ij ;tw--on C'ongtuss and tho President, but on the contrary, Congress would rath-T go along with Mr. Roosevcjt than not. What has actually oerurred is that while the Democratic members still recognize and rts|>ect Mr. ltocs;:v.'lt as their leader, thoy de cline* to let him to '?boss'' ni mat ters which are within the C?j?tj-! tutional piljiJo^itivc of Uongrtes* ; They no longer accept ordcjrs f>r the enactment of new laws w.thout question or study, but scrutini*" every Administration proposal with meticulous care. For it muct be admitted that the general tem po ranutnt of Congress is iVp- kss ??Kb-Tal'' -than is that r-f the New Dealers who devise the n< w soiK-meg of leeauomie and social reform for which the Prcsid^it is the spokis I man'. There is no great disagreement on the desirability of most of the New Deal program* which th? Pr<? ident still hopes to put through,: if not at this session of Congress, then at the next. This pr.jgrnin in cludes a: .ny of tli"emergency' | devices, some of which the Su preme Court declared uneonstitu. tionaj. | ^ Inere89"d power f/>r Executive agencies ia essential to carrying I out thr> entire system of J-rond economic planning to which the President is conroiiitited. That means the delegation of mor: legia-1 lativic author ty to administrators, further ascendancy of the Kx eu tive Branch over the Legislative and the JudicialT^ffd of the Feder al government over state govern ments i With such increased powers which the President still hop s to hawj granted by Congress, the control oj J industry and agriculture by govern injjnt oould be made effective. A | part of the brosd plan upon which the President is quite insistent is to make electric powr draper and morj abundant. Tlier-u is no lefc-up in the pressure for improved housing for tho poor, by aid of g>v ernmont subsidies ;for making farm <?wn?rs out of faajR tenants, and for tho shortening of working hours and the increase of wages in industry under government vscntrol The tendency in Congress is to regard most of these objectives 8| des r. b!'* in themselves, but to fear that the metliods proposed to bring them about will not be effqetivo. There is a growing feeling that Uncle 'Sam has already "bitfcn off Jill h can chew" in I he laws ahcady on the statute books for tin- pecu lation of labor relations, >.Jd ag pensions, and unemployment com ]' /isi'.ti. n, the stock markets, the public utilities, and all tho rr,st of the regulatory legislation. Even many of the Congressional ''liberals" think it would I*, up.; v.i?3 to tike further steps to ex tend F-sderal control until tIk, new permanent bureaus set up under ; those laws liavfi demonstrated ' whet hor this whole nation 'can be effectively regulated freer. "Wash ington. ; This feeling is depp enough ano j strong erumgh, most experienced o'o , servers believe, to serve as an of I fectivo check upon the more radi ! v'al proposals put forth by the Xctv : E^eal planners. The result will likr ! ly be a compromise between the President's desire and thr views of i the more conservative clement in Lis party. - That is, indeed, what usually oc curs whenever Congress begins to | assert its independence Nearly all important legislation in the pis* has baen the result of compromises. . The compromises looked for will be in the general direction of leaving , much mono room for i&dmdu&l in tbftP WfiDf <tt tl?N$w %.\v Supei intendent Announces List Of County Teachers Smoky Mountain Grii!

WARDEN1 ASHE REPORTS TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS In his report to the board 0j eouaty commissioners, Mack Ashe, oocntv warden, reports that during the last eleven months ho has work ed 746 hours and traveled 7260 miles, has distributed literature on fire pretention and forestry in the schools and lias interviewed 811 p?o pl<\ in the interest of forest protec tion. - The average vost of suppressing iron, Mr. Ashe reports, has been 11.94 per fire. During the jeriod there hav<? been 33 fins in the coun ty, with an average of 20 acr^s burned, to each fire. 4 convictions for setting out fires have been obtain ?d, fines and costs amounting to $54 have been collected, and the county has recovered $20 From persons viol ating the fire laws, as reimburse ment for money &pcnf in extinguish ing fires, * In 1936-36 thjore were 98 fires with 796175 acres bunrcd over, as against 33 flrcp and a burned area of 854.1 acres in 1936-37, showing a decrease in forest burnings of 7f peir cent. Mr. Ashe attributes the decrease in a large measure to cooperation be tween thq citizenship of the county and the wardens.
