''For a Greater Columbus" is the war cry of our contemporaries over on the raging Chattahooche. and 1t is a good slogan. The way to aecomp- fish an object. some one has said. Is to keep everlastingly at it." and that is the way to build a town. Columbus certainly has enough natural advant- ages upon which to build a great city, and by pulling together and keeping at 1t there can be little doubt of the result.

THE PASSING T14RoNc
afake Prenent rit.

Did you ever stop to think, young man." said the Spectator yesterday afternoon as he surveyed the hurrying crowds of Christmas Shoppers. that Christmas gifts, or for that matter all gifts. should be most carefully sell scted; they should not be selected hap hazardIy
 Now take case with which am most familiar. A young man hurriedly picked oat a book because of it's att tractite binding. He didn't stop to look at the contents. He sent that book to his brother for Christmas pre- sent and the book was most welcome.
 Now it happened that the book with all of its attractive binding was but an apology for cigarette smoking. one of those apologies that are so care fully worded that the sophistry of the logic might be easily overlooked.
 The sister of the young man had been lecturing him for some years past on the evils of cigarette smoking. and with the book the young brother easily cited the sopehomorie logic to end the discussion. And the wrath of the sister fell upon the older brother who so theughtiessly sent the hand some book
 Now half of the people you see huxtllng about you are thinking Of the most attractive thing they can buy for certain sum, no matter what It's appropriateness might be. They are after a present for the Christmas season. When you go to buy yours on the last day. take a little time the night before and think out what will be appropriate, and buy that. What matters it if the thing is trIfle. So much the better if 1t is given with an eye to its general good"

In The Advertiser yesterday there appeared. a syndicate letter from New York City criticising Congressman Richmond P. Hobson. The letter through some mistake did not pass through the regular channels of mat ter offered for publication and this mistake Is regretted, for the manage

 Regret Tor the mistake Is expressed and repudiation of the article Is made before any complaint has been made by Congressman Hobson.

NAVY LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER
Pictures I'm Nice Book Too AIIurfnE
for Young Men 20 Re-
sist.

Two young men, little more than boys,
stood on the postoffice steps porting over a
book. They wore overalls and ~brogans.
They looked as though they had lately
tired OF farm work. The book over which
they were porting seemed to be of surpass-
ing interest. Still it had no lurid cover
and therefore was not a chronicle of the
adventures Of Deadwood Dick or Nick Car
ter. A little eavesdropping solved the
problem. The absorbing book was a de-
lightful and optimistic brochure entitled
THE Making Of a Man-o-Warsman," II
contained lovely Illustrations and still
more lovely word pictures OF the perpetual
holiday which falls to the lot Of him who
enlists in the navy. One OF the boys read:
There Is a fascination about being one
Of the crew OF a ship Of the United States
navy, the navy that carries the Stars and
Stripes, the navy that produced a John
Paul Jones, a Lawrence, a Decatur. a
Perry, a Farragut, a Porter and a Dewey;
the navy that gave birth to such express
sions as II have only begun to fight
Don't give up the skc." I'VE have met
the enemy and they are ours" expressions
that will live in the minds Of men forever,
According to the book life in Uncle Sans
navy is far better than the delights of
owning a private yacht and. of course. less
expensive. 1t Is Uncle Sans one desire to
show to the rising generation Of men the
sights OF the world. Among the pleasures
which Jack gets. according TO the book.
are fencing and boxing, music by the
ships band. dancing. minstrel shows. foot
ball, base ball, rowing races, use of the
ships boats at the various points OF inter
est visited in foreign lands. sport with rod
and rifle, rot to mention such simple pleas
ures as checkers, chess, cards and reading
in the ships library.
Who wouldn't enlist in the navy? The
two young men at any rate did. They
stopped reading in the book, gaEed into
each others eyes as though they had dis
covered a hidden treasure. Then they
turned and hurried into the federal build
ing.
