Hysterical, narrow denunciation is unwise. We should leave that to the radical orator, the parlor bolshevik, the self-appointed community moral critic and dictator, and those who have no beams in their own eyes. 1 have devoted considerable space tc Granville Jones for the simple reason that it makes us feel more optimistic regarding the future to learn from a man of his broad vision that the boys and girls of today are just as good as in the days of our grandfathers. t t X t Speakers With a Message Chautauqua open* to us a library of the best in ewry line of thought. Take the vi«R*t of Geoffrey O'Hara. This composer not only entertained but he instructed his audience, and as 1 write this a youngster of my acquaintance is practising on the three keys and hunting for the "tail" he heard O'Hara transform into a merry little walte.

BROWN IS CALLED BY DEATH One of North Canton's Best Beloved Citizens Dies At His Home On Tuesday Morning After a Lingering Illness. BURIAL THIS THURSDAY James R. Brown, 70 years of age, c-ne of the most widely known and best liked men in this section of Stark county, died at his home in North Canton on Tuesday morning after a lingering illness which he bore with the fortitude of real manhood. JAMES R. BROWN Courtesy of the Hoover company. a living room. True, every person did not agree with all of his ideas, but it is a painful fact that the majority of rooms are top heavy, and that the artistic eye wears a bandage of much thickness. Years ago Harry Lehr was private secretary to Mrs. John Jacob Astor, the leader of New York's social set known as the "Four Hun-' dred." He asked her permission to transfer a rose she was wearing to her hair. The result was startling, say those in a position to know, and from that day Lehr became a leader in the "set" over which Mrs. Astor reigned as queen. I merely mention this to prove that the use we make of opportunity will determine what we shall be, although not many of us care to aspire to mere social pumps while there is real work to be done in the world. t t t t Edward Tomlinson, Huber W. Hurt, \V. I... Harding, Ben Arneson, W. B. Amsbary, and Frank L. Loveland and others on the program came here to make people think, to show them that they are all fitted for the opportunity and that "getting there" is not a matter of sudden effort. Often it is slow as trickling waters. But in time it will, like the waters, gather the momentum that washes barriers away. Faith that feels and through feeling leads to better exercise of one's powers is the motive that helps men and women succeed, and breaks tlie trails through what appear it first as forbidding forests. Harness Plugging and Faith r.r.d you have a team that must get ihere. Yes, ""Vftmds, chautauqua week is a post-graduate course for any person Willing to pay the price. For 43 years Mr. Brown lived in North Canton, and during all that . time he enjoyed the sincere respect and confidence of his fellow townsmen. For 43 years he was employed by the Hoover company and between "Jim" and The Boss there existed more than friendship. It more resembled the love of Damon and Pythias. Mr. Brown was a member of the Christian church and a regular attendant at the sessions of the Men's Bible class, taught by W. H. Hoover. The funeral services will be conducted at 2:00 o'clock in the home by the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, and burial will be in Zion cemetery, North Canton, this Thursday. James R. Brown was the only relative of John Evans in America, and six of Mr. Evans' sons will act as pall-bearers: W. J., J. G., O. J., F. M., H. G., and R. B. In his early life he was a soldier in the English army and saw service in India and Africa. He was a good conversationalist and his stories of life i-i those countries were listened to with much interest by his friends whom he numbered by the hundreds. Surviving him are his widow; one daughter, Miss Ethel Brown, both in North Canton, and Lloyd C. Brown of New Brunswick, New Jersey. He came from sturdy stock that helped to make the United States great—Welsh, and he had a Welshman's love for order, loyalty and decency, and doing-a good turn whenever he could. May the sod rest lightly o'er the head of James R. Brow- is the fervent wish of The Sun. BUSINESS MEN TO MEET ON MONDAY With North Canton Boy Scouts at Zoarville . ,»«**•*♦ HOW. W. L.

It -was earlv on Monday morning that Harvey Getz, driving a big "White truck S 8, the property of the Hoover compapy, stopped in front of the Community House and took aboard Scout Master A. L. Geib and nine bright- eyed, eager kids and their accoutrement. On the invitation of Mr. Geib a Sun writer went along to see the camp. At Canton the boys were looked over by a medical man, pronounced O. K. and with a number of Scouts from that city the long journey began.

A *rew ininu'es after 11 o'clock the last hill was surmounted, and tho Scouts were ordered to prepare for the march into camp which lies in tlie peaceful valley about half a mile distant. When the line was formed and the boys stai-ted two abrear.t down the narrow path they presented a picture that would warm the heart of any' person with the fluid called blood in his veins. Their manly bearing, their steady step as they ci-unched the sand and pebbles under foot displayed clearly the wisdom of discipline, and they entered camp with ranks closed iip, heads erect and ready to instantly obey orders. To look at them made it hard to believe tlat the marching line was composed of boys ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. Receive a Little Advice They were greeted by C. L.

Shortly afterward the lads appeared in bathing suits and marched to the Tuscarawas river, a short distance away, where they were again lined up to hear a short talk by Mr. Riley. Two little fellows replied, in answer to a question, that they could not swim. They were turned over to Ambrose Staudt, who is in charge of the bathers, and when they return to Canton they will know how to swim. The system followed by Mr. Riley and his assistants to piotect the boys is perfect. Promiscuous bathing ia not permitted..

*r
The coming of Granville Jones to
North Canton proved invigorating as
the climate in his beloved Ozark
mountains, and his philosophy of a
HillrBilly is 100 per cent American.
It is the custom in certain sections
of the United States to sneer at
Hill-Billies and the "Men from the
Forks of the Creek," because of the
primitive life they lead, but you
never read that a surgeon, a pathologist and a clergyman got together
where Jones first operited his eyes
and compared notes as the best
means of treating men and women
whose anaemic, under-nourished, dissipated, cynical souls have transmitted those qualities to their bodies, or
vice versa.
Morbidity, pessimism, mild insanity, base habits and kindred abnormalities are practically unknown
along the whole range of the Ozarks,
and when you eat and watched and
listened to Granville Jones and
laughed at hi.^ quips and applauded
his serious sentences you appreciated
what it means to be a real red-
blooded American.
tit*
You heard him tell you, too, that
he has faith in the rising generation,
that much condemned and more misunderstood assemblage of protesting
sjid inquiring young people. He
praised the boys and he praised the
girls, and if lie knew that- such cynics as Mrs. Mildred Wasson, F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Elliott Paul existed
he gave no sign on Friday night.
Mr. Jones doesn't regard modern
youth as rt "horrible example,"
neither does he believe that reverence, refinement and religion have
been replaced by scornful tolerance,
satirical detachment and cynicism.
Having addressed more young people
than any other man in America, and
studied them at close range, he realizes that condemning the so-called
modern youth and maiden is a foolish practice. More mature folks
easily see discrepancies in younger
ones, just, as Jones said, "our
fathers found faults in us," and
their fathers in them.
* t t *
The man from the Ozarks is a firm
believer in the United States, but he
does see danger in the practice of condemning men in public life just because they are public sen-ants. Hysterical, narrow denunciation is unwise. We should leave that to the
radical orator, the parlor bolshevik,
the self-appointed community moral
critic and dictator, and those who
have no beams in their own eyes. 1
have devoted considerable space tc
Granville Jones for the simple reason
that it makes us feel more optimistic
regarding the future to learn from a
man of his broad vision that the boys
and girls of today are just as good
as in the days of our grandfathers.

not agree with all of his ideas, but it
is a painful fact that the majority of
rooms are top heavy, and that the
artistic eye wears a bandage of much
thickness. Years ago Harry Lehr
was private secretary to Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, the leader of New York's
social set known as the "Four Hun-'
dred." He asked her permission to
transfer a rose she was wearing to
her hair. The result was startling,
say those in a position to know, and
from that day Lehr became a leader
in the "set" over which Mrs. Astor
reigned as queen. I merely mention
this to prove that the use we make of
opportunity will determine what we
shall be, although not many of us
care to aspire to mere social pumps
while there is real work to be done in
the world.

Amsbary, and Frank L. Loveland and
others on the program came here to
make people think, to show them that
they are all fitted for the opportunity
and that "getting there" is not a matter of sudden effort. Often it is slow
as trickling waters. But in time it will,
like the waters, gather the momentum
that washes barriers away. Faith that
feels and through feeling leads to better exercise of one's powers is the
motive that helps men and women
succeed, and breaks tlie trails through
what appear it first as forbidding

For 43 years Mr. Brown lived in
North Canton, and during all that .
time he enjoyed the sincere respect
and confidence of his fellow townsmen. For 43 years he was employed
by the Hoover company and between
"Jim" and The Boss there existed
more than friendship. It more resembled the love of Damon and Pythias.
Mr. Brown was a member of the
Christian church and a regular attendant at the sessions of the Men's Bible
class, taught by W. H. Hoover.
The funeral services will be conducted at 2:00 o'clock in the home by
the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, and burial
will be in Zion cemetery, North Canton, this Thursday.
James R. Brown was the only relative of John Evans in America, and
six of Mr. Evans' sons will act as
pall-bearers: W. J., J. G., O. J., F. M.,
H. G., and R. B.
In his early life he was a soldier in
the English army and saw service in
India and Africa. He was a good conversationalist and his stories of life
i-i those countries were listened to
with much interest by his friends
whom he numbered by the hundreds.
Surviving him are his widow; one
daughter, Miss Ethel Brown, both in
North Canton, and Lloyd C. Brown of
New Brunswick, New Jersey.
He came from sturdy stock that
helped to make the United States
great—Welsh, and he had a Welshman's love for order, loyalty and
decency, and doing-a good turn whenever he could.
May the sod rest lightly o'er the
head of James R. Brow- is the fervent wish of The Sun.
