The High Standard of Honor

In honor ot the birthday of Mis-
tree» Mildred M artin last Thurs-
In a delightful book entitled “ Recollections of
Thomas R. MarahaH," the former vice-president
told how two accountants were exam ining the books
of a township trustee in Indiana. They found he
had charged him self on the road fund ueoount,
with “ Graft, $20?»
,
The trustee explained that he bought a road
scraper, and finally the salesman handed him a
$20 bill. He tried |o return i t ‘‘No, th at's yours,”
said the. a g en t “ How ig that m ine?” ‘‘Why you
blamed old fool," said the JtfW t “ th a t’B graft."
I t never occurred to that honest trustee to tyke the
money for himself, but he charged it to him self on
the town books as graft.
There are some pessim ists who think there is
an enormous amount of corruption in public #ork-
huf probably the people who work for the public
are at least of average honesty. T alking graft is
a treachery to the spirit o f th» wonderful people
who made our beloved country.

Games as a School
Young aasn's Ohritoian Association workers
remark on the hgaitfar influence pf games. In their
work in foreign lauds, som e o f the dark skinned
youngsters would a t first get angry at something
that happened en the ball ground, and p all out a
fraifa and lay In w ait to stub tha fellow who offended
them. But it w as impressed on them that that was
contrary to the spirit o f the game, which demands
fair play, gentlemanly conduct, and self control.
Gradually these boys would acquire this point of
view.

The ball grounds of our country epn he rngde A
wonderful school for teaching American principles,
pnd for smoothing out rough characters, if some
one is in charge who w ill use them for this pur
pose.
A Contrast
IV is often remarked here in Ashland that one
gets vary pleasant greetings from the people of opr
home «tores, even in places where one rarely or
pever buys anything. The store folks seem to feel
interested in aH our home people, even in cases
where they never get a d elia r’s worth o f patronage
put of them, beeanse they are all citizens of one
community and have interests and experiences in
common.
But if you go ipto a »tore away from home, and
decline to buy, the people of that store feel no per
sonal interest in you.
It seems like a good plan* for our people to buy
their supplies of these home concerns where people
feel a personal interest in them. In that w ay a feel
ing of unity and reciprocity is built up, and people
feel they are all working together for the general
benefit. And when that feeling exists, the basis for
advancment in prosperity and advantages is created.
B e tte r Railroads
The enormous sum o f more than $6,000,000,000
as been spent in the last eight years for new equip
ment and additions to property on the railroads.
The unproved earnings of the roads demonstrate
that expenditure has paid.
It is poor policy for people to keep on using
poor tools. That principle applies to the farmer
tyith his simple equipment and to a railroad with its
vast capital. An adequate equipment should save
enough expense to pay interest on its cost, and leave
something over for the owners. Many men engaged
in business in Ashland could serve the public better
qnd increase their earnings, by improving their
plant and equipment, even If they have to borrov
money to do i t
