Honorable and Lasting Fame.

Dies MONIES, June 16.-1'o reach and
occupy the position of president of the
United States is generally regarded as
the acme of American honor and fame.
But the position alone does not assure
true honor or lasting fame. If man
who attains that position has faint
upon him, the office of president can.
not remove it. If he is corrupt, in
competent or unfaithful, his prominent
position serves to make his dishonor
conspicuous, and his fame will soon
turn into a lasting disgrace. Jimmy"
Buchanan and candy" johnson can
be named as examples of the truth of
our words. The chance of becoming
president is as one to many Millions
very small. The chances of getting
corrupt and disgraced in aspiring to
the presidency seems to be in the
reverse order-very large. We there
fore wish to direct American youths
to broader and safer road to true
honor and lasting fame. The rapid
increase of our population demands
thousands of new inventions for the
necessities OF our multiplying millions.
10 be the author of a machine that
will give aid, comfort and delight to
the present and coming generations
may be nobler triumph than to win
a presidential race. 1t is a hope, too,
that many may realize. The ambition
OF the humble mechanic that looks for
honor and fame by seeking to give the
world benefaction in the shape of an
invention is far above the infatuation
which ruins presidential candidates.
The names of American inventors and
public bcnefactors will be revered
when the names of some of our pres
idents and would-be presidents will be
forgotten, or only remembered with
indifference, regret or contempt

The Rev, Frank Cane e e Chi Chi! d .J
says: "A minister is asked many
times a week what an unemployed man
is to do in Chicago. Thousands are
out OF work. The afternoon newspa-
per offices are besieged by crowds of
men eager to get hold of the want ad-
vertisements, to see where they can
get something to do. l have been
asked to give some word of practical
advice to man seeking work in the
great city. The best word I can think
of is this: Get on the cars and ride as
far as your money will carry you; then
get off and walk as far as you can, al
ways headed straight away from Chi
cago." Doubtless many Of those unem-
ployed Chicago people would take the
Rev. Cranes advice were they not
aware of the fact that hoboing, while
in one sense having much room, is still
