Zangwill once remarked that Scotland had produced three terrible commodities; Scotch humor, Scotch religion, and Scotch whiskey. I can't go along with him on that insulting remark to my Scotch friends. I love Scotch stories, which covers the first; I have a lot of friends who love Scotch whiskey, which covers the third; and let me see-Oh, yes; there's stilt that second to be accounted for. !F ,N. {.

And then, of course, there's the messiest thing in the world; a Chinaman trying to eat a pink grapefruit with two chopsticks.

During the panic of 1893 a Scotchman named. Andrew rnegie approached a group of bankers in an Eastern city and asked for a loan of one million dollars, quick. They were aghast at the nerve of him. "Such a loan is unpre- tcedented," they said. An{ thq,scot who got $1.20 a week for six l2.hour days the {rsg\ar of his business career, replied, "I am a man whold6es ilnprecedented things." He got the loan.

***

Yes, friends, I hate to relate the fact in these social security days, but Andrew Carnegie was a product of the "sweat shops." He got $1.20 a week the first year he worked, but they raised him to $2 a week the second year. And the long hours\and sweat shop conditions so killed his soul that he tivef gr€rte away more money to help mankind than any o{lfer man in the history of the world. Yep, the sweat shops ruined Andy. *{<*

Just about like they did Thomas Edison. Can you name a man who has done more for civilization than Edison? Try to! He got no educ{tiovpr/?i.Jr*ed life as a newsboy, working long hour{ a9l resting short ones. He became the best newsboy bdund Detroit. And he became the greatest inventor of all time; or at least since the time of old John Stonehatchet.

John Stonehatchet lived in the Stone Age, when everyone who tilled the soil broke the ground with a crooked stick. One day some neighbors came along and there was old John with a new invention of his own. He had made an improvised plow outlof a hewn hardwood log, and was breaking an acre a day {y making a wild bull pull it. And the good New Dealers $ tha3dy shook their heads sorrowfully, and said: "Thelb/ad-blamed new inventions will be the death of us; there's too many men unemployed now.tt

I'm no defender of sweat shops. They have no place in civilization. But I AM concerned as to what our next generation will be if the conditions that developed most all of our great men of the past, cease to exist. For history drills inescapably into the mind of every man who reads, THIS fact, that all the really great men who have blessed the world with the results of their lives, started /oungr worked long and hard for little pay, and built themselves big.the hard way. I don't believe we are going to build any Andrew Carnegies, or Thomas Edisons, or Abraham

Lincolns, the easy way. I don't think we're going to do it. And it was building QUALITY the hard way that made this nation what it is. About all you can build the easy way is professional politicians and walking delegates. ***

Every time I hear a roar going up against the Dies Committee which has been investigating un-Americanism in this country, I remember the priceless remark of the late Rev. Sam Jones. Sam said: "When you throw a rock into a pack of hounds, IT'S THE HIT DOG THAT SQUEALS.'1 And if Sam is looking down on this earth today with those keen eyes of his, he will realize that it's the same way yet.

There are, undoubtedly, various ways to kill a cat. The uncouth guy wants to muss him all up with a club, while the diplomat thinks the best way is to convince the cat that a big dose of chloroform is good for his fleas. When it comes to handling these foreign guys who live in this country but leave their loyalty elsewhere, I must confess that I'm of the cat-and-club type of operators. I'm irl favor of quitting all this monkey business and shipping every single disloyal person to Hell out of this country ! What right have they here? There is no place under the American Flag for disloyalty to the American Constitution ! And on that rock I stand.

We hear and read "o ,rJrr"ti "Jorra national defense these days, and of the possible dangers of invasion that may be our future lot, that I turn with conviction to a declaration that Abraham Lincoln once made. He was addressing an audience in Illinois many years before the Civil War, when he made this momentous statement. He said that in his opinion, all the combined armies of Europe, even though led by Napoleon, could never make a footprint in the Blue Ridge, or drink from the waters of the Ohio; but that if this nation ever dies'it will be from within, and not from without; it will be suicide and not murder.

I think those fateful -.4, t, i,ir,"orn might well be pondered now. And I recall many years ago hearing the late Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, one of the most eloquent men that ever lived, quote that statement of Lincoln, and then add: "But I further warn you that if this nation,ever dies, there will be no r€surrection morn; there will be no guardian angel to roll away the rock from our sepulchre door; there will be no Easter Morn for this republic." ***

Try as I will, (and I have been blessed or ctirsed as the case may be with a very vivid imagination) I cannot get up the least bit of a thrill out of possible forceful invasion of this country. But I freely admit that there are things happening INSIDE this country that almost frighten me into a case of screaming meanies.

Let's talk of architecture. Do you know who was the author and founder of the classic type of home architecture in this country? A great man named Thomas Jefferson. He not only wrote the Declaration of Independence and founded the Democratic Party, but architecture was one of his burning hobbies. He it was who built the first massive white houses with classic columns in front. The style spread over Virginia, and then over the South, and later over the nation. And what, pray, is more beautiful than such a house surrounded by plenty of trees and grass? ***

Speaking of home architecture, there is a passage in the Bible that you probably never heard of on that subject, that niight be interesting. Among the instructions the Lord gave to Moses and which he in turn handed to the Israelites as the Mosaic Law, was the following from Deuteronomy, Chapter 22, Yerse 8: "When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any man fall from thence." f offer this to architects., without comment.

A few days ago millions of Americans stopped briefly to pay tribute to the memory of General Robert E. Lee, on the anniversary of his birth, January 18. It is truC that my forebears fought, some bled, and some died, in the Union Army. Yet my unbiased study of the life and character of Robert E. Lee convinces me that he belongs in the top ranks of the world's truly great. General Grant thought so when he refused Lee' at the end of that great fratricidal strife ended at students of history speak of his almost su character. Strange as it may seem, Robert d Abraham Lincoln remind me a great deal of other. Both had that first and foremost mark of greatness----€ntire lackpf personal ego. Both were liberally endowed with "that slirit that was also in Christ Jesus." Both had such gentleft$s, suct tenderness, such nobility of character, yet such tfimortal courage as is seldom found among mortal men. We honor ourselves when we honor that great genius, Robert Lee. *{<*

I have said that Lincoln and Lee were entirely without egotism. There is an int_gresting study of mankind, right there. In all hisfpty,fo really great man was ever an egotist; and no "g\f was ever truly great. Most of the world's titans died without even suspecting their own immeasurable worth. Even Jesus Christ rebuked His followers when they called Him "good Master," saying, "Call none good save One." Wonder what He would have done had they insisted on calling flim "great"?
