' Leadership
57A newspaper to be worth its
salt must show leadership in its
cemmunlty. It cannot be content
alone with profits; it must seek out
the sore spots and turn the light on
them so they may be healed.
FA fine example of leadership by a
a Wspsper editor. who takes his job
I ously. is published in the current
isgue of Editor and Publisher, as
follows:
‘“A little scrap of a boy. He said

! his ankles. and a heavier chain

~wdist. Good George R. Koester. Sr..
found him in a convict camp near
Snartanbiirg. S. C.. on Sunday. July
26.
gt'Why was Good George Koester

of man. He teaches a convict camp

lquy gross error. Good George
works to get the poor boy free and
started again on paths of respecta-
b llty. Since 'he has been in charge
0 the Spartanburg Sun he has had
there unjustly convicted boys set
flee.
:“'I put my arms around the lad
and told him to tell me the whole
gtory.’ Good GeOrge wrote in his
Monday paper. of the 15-year-old
cgnvict. 'He said he had been
caught beating a ride on a freight
train. along with two older men
who had induced him to go with
them. If that boy be a criminal. 1
am a dragon.’
"Much ‘fooi' legal red-tape had to
bet unwound on Monday. but Good
George had his way. and the boy
escaped further degradation in the
living death of chained servitude.
$“‘Good George Koester is no son-
timental sob brother. nor‘ does he
wear a 'high hat' in his community.
‘ A. simple man. in plain clothes. he
goes his way. Human kindness
dominates his heart and he seeks to
' sprve his neighbors. whether of high
or low estate. Three Southern news-
papers have been quickened to life
and good purpose at the touch of his
able hand. Good editors always
have plenty to do and much to write
about. in large or small cities."

Recent discoveries, bringing near-
er knowledge or the cause. and per-
haps therefore of the treatment of
cancer. are of very great public and
impersonal interest.
But do not make the fatal blunder
of thinking that they are of personal
interest, to one now suffering or
threatened with cancer.
There is nothing so dangerous in
cancer as delay. and the results of
tin-so investigations will be long do.
...ycd—-much too long to be of use to
any present patient.
The only thing to do. if you have
anything that resembles cancer. is to
seek advice on it quickly. and if it
turns out to be cancer. to have it
lit’uit'd by present methods. immed-
‘lutcly. These methods. fortunately.
offer a good chance if used at once.
Delay. waiting for new methods.
would find those methods useless.
even if they were dmeloped. So let
no possible suffcrer think these re-
ports are for him.
His only salvation is to use present
knowledge. now, li‘uture knowledge.
it it comes. is for the use of others
Why Solicpp Took To the Woods.
Unfortunately. the impersonal view
of anything is the rarcét thing in the
world.
Take the much-discussed case of
Leonard Schcpp. who had more mil.
lions to gi\e away than he knew how
.to dispose of beneficially.
He asked for suggestions where
they would do the greatest good to
the greatest number. He was swamp-
ed with suggestions how to do the
greatest good to the least number-—
that is. to “me."
Everybody wanted something for
himself. and practically nobody had
any ideas for the general good.

The Real Value of Human Conceit.
Perhaps it is well that the Lord
made us self-centered. Really, we
are not important individually, and
most of our Jobs are not worth our
doing.
But we must not realize this. or
the world would stop. And there is
some reason. beyond our knowing.
why it must go on.
So each man is endowed with
egotism. selfishness and enthusiasm.
The first two qualities magnify him-
self and his Job until he thinks them
worth while: the other makes him
fling hiniself into life. beyond his
own interest and in the service of
ideals which he feels but does not
camprehend.
So we struggle on, toward the un.
known goal. whose reward is not
ours, and whose meaning is probably
not ourselves.

tax reduction program next winter
won‘t be against reduction. but
against the kind of reduction—Sec-
retary of the Treasury Melion's kind
-thst it's considreed certain the Re.
publicans will advocate.
It wouldn't do to oppose reduc-
tion. That's bound to be popular
with everybody. The party that
fought it would be doing the worst
thing imaginabiefor itself.
On the other hand. the Demo-
crats figure it will be extremely
popular to oppose reduction of a
sort that will benefit mainly very
rich men and big corporations.

That Secretary Mellon wants re-
duction to begin at the top this time
there isn't any question. He‘s out-
spoken about it.
He's willing to let the small fry
have a. little of the gravy but he
wants the big helping to go to the
sur-taxpayers.
He was euchered out of having his
way last year but it appears to be
generally agreed among the Repub-
lican managers that he's to hane his
turn at the next session of Congress
——provided. of course. they're able to
give it to him.
It‘s no cinch that they will be able
to. They probably can manage it in
the House of Representatives, but
the Senate's doubtful——more than
doubtful. The Democrats will be
against the Mellon plan and so will
most of the insurgents—not only the
chronl cinsurgents but also the oc-
casicnal ones.
A Senator froln a State where sur-
taxpayers are strong may see how
he’s butterlng his bread on the right
side by voting for them rather than
the common pee-pul. The latter are
‘ln a vast majority even in such
States. but the capitalists frequently
make up for their numerical infer-
iority by their strength in influence.
Most of the insurgent and near-
lnsurgent Senators, however. come
from the great open spaces where

but he isn't going to convince many
poor men that this proeplct is pre-
ferable to the lopping of a few dol-
iars off from their own income tax-
es. Senators know this." tell as
anybody.
The administration. then. evidently
»is going to commit itself to the Mel-
lion in reduction plan. Such Re-
lpuhllcans as are thoroughly "regu-
.131" will support it.
The others are 'very apt to vote
against lt—out of consideration
for their own political ‘good health.
whatever they may think of Sec-
retary Mellon's arguments. And
between the Democrats and Re-
publican insurgents—if there's a
fill quota of them—it's impossi-
ble, as everybody knows. for the
Republican “regulars" to get any-
thing through the Senate.
. e . I
Well. what then—if the adminis-~
[tration program gets tied up in the
'svnste? Will the other side turn
around and put through its pro-
gram? it may—do the Senate.
But can it get it through the
\
House? Not if the administration
bucks it. While the administra-
tion yielded on the Mellon plan
last year. it wasn't quite so much
of an issue then as it promises to
be next winter.
The administration may feel
bound to stick by it this time.
Still. it will be hard for Republican
House members to vote against what
certainly will be so popular a meas-
ure.
3
To summarize. tax reduction will
be talked about endlessly at the next
session of Congress. but it's quite
among the possibilities that there‘ll
be no actual reduction—that the pus-
zle will be left for the seventieth
Congress to find the answer to.
The Last Frontier
By DAVID DIETZ.
Few people realize the devotion.
the loyalty and the unselfishness
which the scientist—that pioneer on
the world’s last frontier—brings to
his work.
It is doubtful if the sort of legis-
lator who votes for anti-evolution
laws could ever understand the
a lifeti e upon some obeure prob-
lem of research and glvss the re-
sults to the world without' the
slightest hope of any monetary re-
ward. »
An outstanding example .of the
methods of the scientist is revealed
in the history of Dr. Johannes
Schmidt of the Csrisberg Laboratory
of Copenhagen.
In 1904. Dr. Schmidt undertook
to discover the birthplace of the
European eel. All that was known
at the time was that in the autumn

the eels migrated from the rivers of
Europe into the Atlantic and that in
the spring- the young eels came up
the rivers out of the Atlantic.
Dr. Schmidt set out in a small

were at first unwilling to believe
that he had crossed the Atlantic in
her.
At the end of 18 years. Dr.
Schmidt made the astounding dis-
covery that both the European and
the American eel breed in an area
of the Atlantic between the Leeward
Isles and Bermuda. The newborn
American eels make for the Ameri-
can coast. and the European eels
for the European coabt.
Dr. Schmidt's story is a happy
one. He achieved his aim. But sci-
ence is full of tragedies.
Many scientists have worked for
half their lives upon problems only
to have somp other piece of research
anticipate or else invalidate their
own work.
