CHARACTER
Arkansas' Executive Speaking
from Vantage Point of Age
and Honors, Makes Plea
Says Nation's Strength Must
Find Its Base in the Strength
of the Individual Citizen
By Thomas C. McRae,
Governor of Arkansas.
Editor's Note : The following was
written by a man who has risen to
high office. It is a kindly, philo
sophical bit of thinking that may give
you a renewed faitr in Amerisa and
one can almost picture the personal
ity of the man who is an American
first of all himself and who loves his
country and his fellows. There is no
stern presentation of facts and fig
ures but in their place is a little
preachment that may well be absorb
ed in the rush to re-establish the nor
mal.
Having the privilege of selecting
my subject, not being required to ad
here to an assigned or arbitrary
theme, I want to emphasize what I
consider to be the greatest need of
our American civilization character.
There is a growing need for it; more
and more the harmonious relations
of mankind are promoted by honesty
of purpose,
outstanding epochs, characterized by
the high development of art, litera
ture, trade or war. No student of
the advance of civilization can fail
to recognize in the.present epoch the
pronounced development of inventive
genius. The wonderful mechanical
agencies of utility which have come
to us during the last hundred years,
have glorified the activities of the
world. Man has been lifted out of
the slow methods and processes
of the toilsome past, and his very
nature is being transformed. A thou
sand years from now it is not un
likely that people will revert to this
period and marvel at its peculiarities
and its epochal wondrousness. The
present time may be then styled as
the Age of Invention, the Electrical
Age, the Railroad Age or the Money
Age. However, not being able to
approximate the centuries ahead of
us it is of course impossible for one
to do more than guess at how the
present era will impress the people
of the distant future. We may pro
gress so far in our inventive genius
that a perspective of this time will
only reveal it to have been the birth
of human inventive genius.
Three Score and Ten
I have lived through a consider
able expanse of time myself, having
almost attained to my proverbial
three score years and ten, and 1 have
been very much impressed with the
question of why the march of civili
zation was unattended by very much
inventive genius until the present
century. Certain it is that there has
been more advance during the cen-
tury than during any thousand years
in the world s history
I do not contend that human na
ture is very much changed from its
characteristics of the ages past, but
chanical developments of recent
times have reacted heavily upon hu
man conditions. There is little doubt
that the morals of the people have
been affected through our new-found
freedom, and that we are confused in
the living out of our interpretation
of liberty as against license.
Many of our students and philoso
phers and moralizers are expressing
great discouragement at what is
termed the breaking down of our hu
man integrity. Many of our thinkers
believe that the morals of our Ameri
can people are at a low ebb. Others
try to be more hopeful, pointing out
that with the advent of greater per
sonal freedom and greater govern
mental guarantees of liberty that
people are only asserting their nat
ural instincts, without bad intent, and
they point out that there is now a
broader human charity, more gentle
ness of soul and greater freedom
from bigotry than ever before.

we hear so much of has upset us and

discouraged us very profoundly.
There is indeed a growing need for
human character. In the business
world this is recognized. I spent
eighteen years as a member of our
United States ongress, then retired
and practiced the profession of law
for an equal number of years, during
which latter period I supervised a
banking institution, and I feel that I
have some right to announce my ob
servations upon human character.
Very often we hear the question ask
ed, ' Is the world growing better?" I
am sure it is. But there are some
very grave tendencies now besetting
civilization. Yes, we still have honest
people, and most people in our own
preat country are honest and good
But the greatest rewards come to
those who have energy and honesty.
Indeed, the three greatest requisites
are energy, integrity and intelligence

est need of the present. I hold that
it is very difficult to disassociate re
ligion and character. Mr. Babson
tells us of two men who stood near
the great roaring Niagara Falls, and
one of them said, There is the great

and his companion replied, No, the
greatest undeveloped power in the
world today is the human soul.
Moral Let Down
The moral let-down so generally
deplored now is commonly attributed
to the back-wash of the World War
but I am not prepared to believe this.
I do not believe that a person has the
right" to defend war, except by way
of extenuating the sin of it by point
ing out that it is a necessary evil, or
an unavoidable contingency in the
life of the world. But America has
not yet addressed herself to an unjust
war, and the most thrilling and ex
alting fact in the course of our be-
loved nation is to be found in the
justice of its variouswars. It is true
that the World War revealed many
ugly aspects of human nature, for we
are unable to forget the profiteer,
the "slacker" and political traitor.
But American ideals are higher and
purer now than prior to April 6, 1917.
I think the aptest and saddest indict
ment brought against the times in
which we live is lodged against the
home. The home is still a great bul-
wark of society in our country and in
other countries, but the insidious en
croachments of untoward influences
threaten the institution of the home
Abe Martin, the Indiana humorist, re
cently said, "One good thing about
the modern home is that there ain't
so much unhappiness there since ev
srybuddy tears out after eatin' his
Veakfas'." We all see the point.
Urban life in our own American
country has absorbed the major part
of the population, for a majority now
live in cities and towns. This is not
to be deplored, except that it calls
for more vision and more virtue,
which only means more character.
None of us should make the mistake
of quarreling at mankind. We should
deal with our problems, social and
economic, with sympathy and under
standing. The heart of man is still
right. The inexorable sweep of things
modern challenges every ounce of
character and intelligence which our
people can summon.
The old fundamentals or honesty,
virtue, unselfishness and thrift must
be nurtured. I have the faith to be
lieve that the world will soon find
itself, that we will settle down into
a healthy, sane, wholesome and prop
er temper, when human justice will
triumph, when the strength of the
right will prevail and the future will
be made secure.
Spray forWorms Soon
All those who desire to have their
apples free from worms should pre
pare to give them the first spray
about the time that the last petals
fall. They will need another spray
ing about the middle of July or when
ever the second generation of cod
ling moth appears.
Arsenate of lead spray should be
used, putting two pounds of arsenate
of lead to 100 gallons of water, the
July spray will be still stronger.
J. 0. Hager is operating the coun
ty spraying outfit and those with
small orchards should arrange with
him to get their spraying done. Gifl
iam & Bishee have consented to han
dle the arsenate of lead and those
owning their own spray outfits can
?et this material there.

SAVE THE NAVY
Congress is now trying to de
stroy the army and the navy. To
destroy either is a crime against
common sense, patriotism, and
courage. The spineless sentiment
alists have preached pacifism un
til Congress imagines that all
causes of war have been destroy
ed. How foolish. We are only
in a prolonged armistice. We are
just as sure of another war in our
before 1930 as we are that the
earth will turn on its axis tomor
row. We need a strong army. The
monev is not wasted. If vou want
economy put the army of ineffi
cient public officials in the first
line trenches and you will then re
lieve the country of quite a tax
burden.
We should save the army. How
ever, if Congress destroys it we
can build another one more quick-
mi w m
ly than we can build a strong navy.
Save the navy at any cost. Send
every Congressman home who
votes to destroy it, and bury him
in a grave of political oblivion.
We should have a navy of one
hundred thousand trained men
and officers. This nation will never
be able to reduce or destroy its
navy. Water on all sides and be
ing a world power make a bie
navy absolutely essential to our
peace, progress, and prosperity.
If Congress reduces our navy
and thereby destroys its world po
sition you then will have an un
mistakable proof that Congress is
composed of cowards unfit to be
members of even the Punkin Cen
ter town council.
