SHAW TO SUCCEED GAGE
Governor Of Iowa Will Become the
Secretary Of the Treasury
TRADITIONS ARE SHATTERED

There Will Be Two Cabinet Members
From One State-Secretary of Agricul
rure Wilson, Also of Iowa, Will Re-
main in the Presidents Official Fam
ily-The Authorative Announcement
Washington, D. C.-Governor Leslie
NJ. Shaw has accepted the Presidents
offer to make him Secretary OF the
Treasury. This announcement was
made at the White House, and with it
came the statement that the selection
of an Iowa man for the Office did not
mean that Secretary Wilson's position
would be interfered with. Mr.. Wilson
is expected to stay in charge Of the
Department Of Agriculture.
The date of the transfer Of the Treas.
ury Department will depend on the
mutual convenience of the outgoing
and incoming secretaries, Mr.. Gage
having signified an entire willingness
to remain at the head Of the depart
ment until such time as it may be
agreeable to his successor to take
hold. 1t is supposed, however, that
Governor Shaw will be inGucted into
his new Office some time in Janu-
ary.N
Thus the President has shattered
with one blow two traditions-the first,
that the chief Of the Treasury De-
partment should not be taken from an
agricultural State; the second, that in
the selection Of Cabinet officers, other
things being equal, geographical con-
siderations should control. The first
tradition is the outgrowth of the cur
rency agitation Of the past thirty
years; the second is hoary with age.
Great States like New York and
Pennsylvania occasionally have had
more than one representative in Cab
met, but there always have been ex-
ceptional reasons for such a course.
In giving Iowa two places, politicians
consider that the President has. per-
haps, squandered Cabinet place, and
that he might possibly have made more
capital for himself through some other
disposition Of the Treasury portfolio.
Iowa already has the Speaker of the
House, one Of the two men rated as
leaders of the Senate and the Secretary
Of Agriculture. 'Now that she has
got the Secretary Of the Treasury"
said an exultant Iowan, "She seems
to be taking the place that was former
iy assigned to Ohio"

Wrong Rye.

Wrong prayer sets : wisdom and de.
sire as the measure cegiving. It is not
always denied, even WI a it asks for hurt
full things. Right praf comes in humiI-
ity and confidence and SKIS from its own
point of view for whai9s needed, but al
ways in submission to he loving will Of
God. Right prayer is :lways heard, but
petitions which are rigfe in spirit may be
unwise in choice, and u loving kindness
of God may deny them or our good. !
Prayer and petition ar therefore, whole
and part. Prayer is the; pproach to God,
seeking communion. PeSion is the part
of prayer which asks foIi,ifts. No man
ever drew near to God bt God drew near
to him. Is it wise to ay? That is q
question whether we sh, live our lives
alone. Prayer is communion. Gods chill
dren cannot live without t. Is it wise to
ask fer definite gifts whi9 we desire and
need? That is question II our faith and
our humility. If we ask Aom the level of
our own judgment-as if vi had all knowl.
edge-it must needs be tht many of our
petitions will be mistaken. mo man in co.
ber second thought would wish God to

He could only do in jud}nent, not in
mercy. But no prayer an no petition

Life.

What a precious gift of God life isl.
Few men or women realize until their
lives are drawing to close the full signif-
canoe of this generally accepted truth.
When they :looktback upon their life it is
as a span in length, as "a dream of the
night, which haspassed away, and only re-
turns in itful gkams of light and shadow.
Of how much Importance it is that early
in life q strong sense of its vital impor-
tance should be, borne in upon the soul
and leave its imH Hress there, SO that the in
with a full convection of all its possibili-
ties for good AMI evil. For is it not true
that the vast minority drifts through life
as a ship in a great unknown ocean with
out compass or hstssg Some lead life
of poverty, toll and depression, and they
have no inspiring hope to brighten their
lives. Others again are like butterflies
luxuriating in Sunshine, always seeking
pleasure and amusement; they never real
ize any other motive or object in life than
the qualification in frivolous, selfish enjoy
ment, of the inwsrd longing of the soul
for happiness. All but the men and wom-
en- who realize tha true import of life, its
full significance, i's awful responsibilities,
gladness and h,,ppiness, and also the
depths of misery and remorse, which q
wrong course maI entail-these enlght-
ened souls do not blow, the foolish crowd
and waste their lv,s in idleness and folly.
No, they strain every nerve in the race OF
life. A high ideal of life nerves them to
self-denial and noble action. The light
which ighteth every man which cometh
into the world is not obscured to their
vision-not lost sig;t of under the delu-
sive forms of pleasse which veil it from
the sight of others. They have discovered
the true elixir of lii that God gave them
this great gift fol.{a great purpose-to
honor and serve Hi, to be living epistles
of Him known anGfead of all men. In
fulfilling this grand. hesign, with His Al
mighty help, they itain to the supreme
end for which they ,iere brought into this
world. They live Rt for themselves, but
for others, and in3loing SO attain the
greatest happiness 3hich this life is capa-
Bic of realizing. St,Paul, of all men, had
the highest concept b of life. He strove
as no other man erf did to keep under
his lower nature, AM, had ever present in
every. thought and sfion: set clearly be-
fore him, the crowndf life, for which he
sacrificed everything 'lher men would con-
slider precious. 1t 1.-THE duty of every
sincere Christian to Il faithful to PauPs
ideal life-a life in C19ist. A true Chris
tian will be courteoub, charitable, self-de-
nying, live devoted lfe, ready to suffer
if need be. in every gft and noble Cause.
