STONE MOUNTAIN A move is reported to be afoot in congress to repeal last session’s unanimous legislation, approved by the president, authorizing the coin age of half a million 60-cent pieces CO mmemorating the great Confed erate memorial wrought by Gutzon Borglum on the face of Stone Mountain. The repeal should not be passed. It ia ungracious, wasteful and wrong, says the New York World. The government has accepted the designs for the coin; all ar rangements for its mining have been made, and the Stone Moun tain Memorial Association has made a number of plans growing out of the legislation. The cost of the minting is not great, and the cause of economy will not be well served by action which will dishearten those in the South who made sculptor’s clay of a mountain to honor the valiant armies of the Confederacy. ■ DOES THE PUNISHMENT FIT? i Reference is frequently made to the brutal old days when men f •' hanged for sheep-stealing were and it is well that such things are no longer done; *t least by us. Yet here is a report of a man In Texas sent. to prison for ten yeara for robbing a bank of the sum of 60 cents. Perhaps he deserved it. Perhaps he “shot up” the bank, . or dynamited its vaults, or burned the building, to get the money. But as the item stands, a writer I in a far country, or in some fu ' ture age, might base upon it an elaborate arraignment of our sys tem of justice, which thus makes ten years’ imprisonment the pen alty for very petty larceny. Incidentally, too, it is recorded that the iame man was sentenced to another ten years for stealing an automobile. Are we to understand that the fiiwer and the 60 cents were of approximately equal value? WHY NOT?___ The congress that enacted the pubHdty provision IST the income tax law which is puzzling courts, litigants and lawyers is now in session. Why not do the country a good • turn by clearing up the uncer tainty that surrounds the statute? Some of those who drew the bill and some of those who voted Tor its passage ought to know what they had in mind. They should let the public in on the secret. At the same time, now that there has been demonstration of the futility of the provision and of the widespread objection to it, congress could well go further and by the simple process of adopting the bill of Representative Fair child, of New York—which elim inates the conflicting section alto gether—carry out the wishes of the country and save the tax . payers, the courts and itself much unnecessary bother. A man never knows how annoy ing a conscience can be until‘ he takes up golf. But how did they serve refresh ments before lettuce leaves were invented? Nobody would enjoy equality, anyway.

ROTARY AND BUSINESS Rotary will live, and must live, for its principles are founded on truth and justice. But Rotary cannot be just mere words or beautiful phrases—it must be brought into practical daily use, into our home life, our social life, our community life and most of all, our business life. Rotary believes in no double standard for social and commer cial life, but one standard of the Golden Rule should suffice for both. It is the duty of a Rotarian to so clearly blaze the trail of truth, integrity and lair dealing as to inspire others to follow this trail and to accept his leadership through chaos of doubt, ignorance and falsehood—what greater ser vice can we offer the world than to be the trail blazers of truth and honest business dealings.?— Everett W. Hill, president Rotary International. » A MAN’S JOB. A man’s job is his best friend. It clothes and feeds his wife and children, pays the rent, and supplies them with the wherewith al to develope and become culti vated. The least a man can do in re turn is to ^>ve his job. A man’s job is grateful. It is like a little garden that thrives on love. It will one day flower into fruit worthwhile for him and his to en joy. If you ask any successful man the reason for his making good, he will tell you that first and foremost it is because he likes his work; indeed he loves it. His whole heart and soul are wrapped up in it. His whole physical and mental energies are focused on it. He walks his work, he talks his work, he is entirely inseparable from his work, and that is the way every man worth his salt ought to be if he wants to make of his work what it should be and make himself what he wants to be.—Senator Arthur Capper. SERVICE. Who profits most? Is it the one Who’s on the square in all that’s done; Who trusts and helps the other man And who gives a boost wherever he can; Who puts his task above mere self, And values friends and counts them wealth. Who profits most? Is that your quest? It is the one who serves the * best. When a man is wrapped up in himself he makes a pretty small package.

Travis, an esteemed resident of Jacksonville, declares she finally saved her teeth by a simple home treatment “worth its weight in gold,” using her own words: “After having pyorrhea for 10 years my mouth is now healed.
