irrfr 4 TH CODS BAY TIMES, HARSHF1ELD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1912 EVENING EDITION - - . Carnegie List of Twenty Greatest Men, Revised by Fra Elbertus (Bjr Elbert Hubbard.) MR. ANDREW CARNEGIE hat supplied a list of 20 men, who ho is reported to bavo sa'd mado tho world .what It Is. Tho list supplied by Mr. Cnrnoglo Is ob fol lows: Columbus, Bhakospearo, Watt, Morton, Edison, Jenner, Doll, Nellson, Arkwrlght, Lincoln, Franklin, Burns, Murdock, Gutenberg, HnrgroaTos, Slemona, Stephenson, Uessomcr, Symington. Mushot, Tho list does not do Justlco to tu Earl of Sklbo, and I foar was given off-hand, without consideration. Sovon of tho men nro Scotch na' urnlly. Ilt how the names Murdock and Burns are put in nnd Adam Smith, tho most influential man Scotland has produced, loft out, wo cannot say. Thomas Henry Duckii wrote: "Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations' Iiob Influenced civilization mora than any book ever printed." Shakcspearo wroto 3C plays, acl, assuming that a man by tho minc ol Shakespeare wroto tho plays, this Is nil wo know of tho author. Thoso plays show great oohubm4 of Inngungo and Insight Into buiiiai' frailties, but they solve Tor uj no problems and aro strictly unniora1. 8hake8pearo did not know women.) His Portia Is a whlppcrsnappor ( ( III considered trifles, who upholds n rogue in a falluro to pay Ms defers and mnkcu a hill for tho npplauso of tho Jaw-baltor. Shakcspearo did not know chlldron. His remark about "tho Infant mowing nnd puking in Its nurse's arms" Is tho limit of his sympnthy. Shakcspearo had no lntorest In tho poor, tho lowly and tho oppressed. His plays wcro written to act, and whllo they nro amusing and Intorost ing to n (ow people, It Is absurd to count Shnkospcare no a world maker. His properties aro kings, quotas, princes nnd such human riffraff. Shakonpoaro 1b a sort of literary fetich, Ho is tho author wo nil talk about, but seldom read. Morton Don't Belong. Tho next man In Mr. Carnegie's list Is Morton, tho Inventor of ether. Ether Is n palliative, and has made ft easy for millions of peoplo to bo carved, cut, slashed, nnd sclssorod who othcrwlso might havo lived long and usoful lives. Ethor is for tho sick nnd tho dying. It Is an Invita tion to nn operation. In caso of ne cessity, of amputation, far Instance it wns possible to perform tho opera tion with a very smnll nmount of pain beforo the Invention of other. Tho HmltntlonB of pnln, unllko tho limitations of tho Imagination, aro vory limited. Dr. Maurlco Bucklo had both feet amputated between the kneo nnd tho ankle by a miner In tho Rocky moun tains. Ho watched the operation with Interest, nnd recovered soon. Joslnh Wedgowood had n leg ampu tated under Blmllar conditions. Ethor supplies a negative good and tho inventor of It cannot bo called a world maker. The third man In the list Is Jennor, inventor of vaccination. Vaccination Is tho introduction Into hoalthy body of a vlruB, which gives a man a dlaeaso in order to koop him from catching one. Writing as a physician, nnd tho ion of a physician, and as a person who has vaccinated a great many poonjp, my opinion Is that vncclna ilon has harmed tho world to n do sroo no man can possibly compute. It has supplied us u most persistent mporBtltion, which Is that health Is ,o bo obtained through tho mlnlstra .lons of a poison and n surgeon. That it prevents smallpox Is an as sumption, but that It .sometimes causes tetanus Is a fact. To call Jonner a world makor, ovon granting that vaccination Is a prophylactic against smallpox which no scientific person now bollovco, slnco pooplo who havo boon vaccinat ed occasionally have smallpox is a manifest absurdity. Tho fourth man In tho list is Neil- son, who lnvontod tho hot blast in tho manufacture of Iron. Tho hot blast Is a valuable tech nical invention, but slnco Iron was mado without it, it will hardly do to cull Ncllson a world maker. Lincoln may Justly bo called a world maker. Burns a Literary VaudcvUllst, Burns was an obscure Scotch poot, who never built anything but a mou ument of debt nnd broken hearts. Whllo some of his poetry Is certainly pleasing, thore is much that Is silly. BurnB has not influenced tho civi lization of tho world any moro than has Oliver Goldsmith, James Whit comb Rlloy or All Baba. Good lit ornry vaudevllllsts, all, but no world ninkors. I submit that In ordor to bo called a world maker you muBt do some-j thing besides warblo. Gutonborg, tho Inventor of print-. Ing, Is cortalnly a world maker. Siemens Invented a water meter. To say that this Invention has .helped. mnko tho world Is nn airy fairy fnn-( cy. Tho "flat rato" Is still prefer able BcBscmor, inventor of the stool process, can'bo called a world maker. And It BosBomor Is a world maker It Is qulto enough without using the nnmo of Mushot, nn obscure man who differentiated tho Bcsscmor process. Columbus was a world maker. So wns Watt, tho practical Inven tor of tho steam englno. Boll, Inventor of tho telephone, was a world mnkor, even If others were warm on tho same trail. Edlann, the nppllor ot olcctriclty, Inventor nnd Insplrcr of inventors, Is a world maker. Arkwrlght, tho inventor of cotton spinning machinery, Is rightly In tho list. So Is Franklin, tho discoverer of electricity. Murdock, who first employed coal for commercial purposes, merely did a thing which wns obvious and which n million other peoplo would havo dono anyway when wood got scarce Hnrgrcaves, Inventor of tho spin nlng Jenny, was a world maker. Stephenson, Inventor of the loco motive, tho samo. Symington, Inventor of tho rotnry engine, perfected tho work begun by others, nnd It will not do to call him a world maker. So much for tho list of Mr. Car-noglo. Woos -and Weds the Same Girl Twice CHICAGO, April 6. Jaded novel readers .who are convinced thoro Is nothing new undor tho sun in lovo stories, who believe, in fact, that ro mnnco has dono nothing in tho world In tho last COO yoars but run 'round and 'round In tho samo old clrclo, ought to mako a call today at 3334 Indiana avenue and shako tho hands of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schaffor. Tho SchafforB aro tho authors, also tho actors, of this lovo story. Tholr romanco Is as now and as up to dato as tho new .yoar. Tho first chaptor discloses Roma Parker, 17 and pretty, "clerking" lu a Chicago dopartmont Btoro. This was two years ago. Entor Albert Schaffer, a few yoars oldor, good looking, well dressed, earning $20 a wook, and convinced ho could con quor tho. world. Albort looked at Roma and decided on tho spot that she should bo his. Roma obsorvod Albert and concluded ho was hor "ideal." Result: Invita tion to dlnnor from Albort to Roma, promptly accopted, Undor tho Btimulus of a good din- about ten seconds to call that honey moon off. It took hor somewhat loncer to tell Albort what she thought of htm about three hours A yoar elapsed. Tho noxt chaptor discloses a dlvorco court. Entor Ro ma with lawyers' entor Albort with ditto. Roma on tho wltnoss stand "tells all." "Docroo grnntod," says tho court, "no alimony askod, nono allowed." Exit all. Slow music. Nobody happy. Roma Schaffor, ono year older and correspondingly lmprovod In porsonal pulchrltudo, camo downtown on Thursday afternoon to do somo shop ping. Among othor things sho want ed a small ploco of Jowolry, and .by tho shoorost accldont, sho saw "tho very thing" In tho window of a neat llttlo Jowolry Btoro In tho Peoplo's Gas building. Sho wont into this store. A young man at tho far end of tho room camo around tho glass cases to wait on hor. Tholr oyes mot. Sho Proposes Now Wedding "Al," Bald Roma nt last. "I'm glad you'ro glad.

Tho marriage was performed In Detroit. Finds Money Nearly All Gone. After tho marrlago coromony Schaffor's imagination suddonly cooled. Also consulting his pockot book, ho discovered hla money was nearly all gone. With fancy dend, conscience awoko. When tho now Mrs. Schaffor began to bo Insistent about tho honeymoon at Niagara FalU Albert suddonly wcakonod and "told all." Was Roma angry? It took her TEACHING ECONOMY IN THE HOME I think wo wcro right In tho first place. I think wo ought to hnvo (boo hoo) stayod marrlod. Don't you think wo'd ought to havo stayed (boo hoo) marrlod, AIT" "You bot I do," retorted Al. "And what wo aro going to do right now Is get married ngaln. And it isn't all four flush with mo this tlmo, either. I own this placo." "Al," said Roma, after certain pre liminaries, "I came hero to got n piece of Jowolry." "Suro," roplled Al. "I'd forgotten, but I think I know exactly what you want. How would this handsome sol Italro do? And romembor, wo guar antee all our goods."
