The Man and His Job
BY Herbert Hapgood y


There is nothing stupid than the old proyerb
eff want thing done, do it yourself" In these
days of cooperative systems, when everybody assign

and Obsolete No chance nowadays the tries
to do everything II he had the ability keep
up with the work; and what is ittwould not be
done we'll Ss8s :
When you want thing done, do it yourself is
all right when there is nobody else who thing
that wanted. The complication of business social
life makes impossible for the individual to every
thing. Moreover 1t Is only possible for him to know
very little. But what he does know he is supposed to
know we'll; and the man who is not expert in his
special department of effort will of fall short Of
becoming success it. This specialized
lines along which today directing their efforts
makes the competition keen that it is impossible for
to try his hand at anything else other than the

The publishers of the colonial days would not hire
printer unless he able to write his copy To-
day there at least dozen hands who handle the
manuscript Of author before finally press

upon what would become of the who tried to do
this thing all by himself without the assistance the

WAS NOT NOMINATED
ID. McColl, Jr., was not Nomi
mated for the Senate by
Blease-A Correction.

1t was stated in the last issue
OF the Democrat in the report Of
the legislative balloting for United
States Senator that Cole Blcasc
had nominated Mr.. d ID McCoIl.
Jr., of Marlboro and then the vote
for him was given. 1t has since
come out that this was wrong and
did MIR. McColl an injury. The
facts + that Mr.. McColl was
never nominated and as soon as
his name was voted for he arose
in his seat and asked the presiding
officer to withdraw his name as he
would under no circumstances per.
NIT it to be used. Several of Mr..
McColls friends asked him to al
low his name to be voted for and
there is no doubt but that he would
have pollled a good vote but he
would not permit the use Of his
name.
The information in question as
to Mr.. McColl having been nomi-
mated by Cole Bleasc was gotten
over the long distance telephone
last Thursday just before the
Democrat went to press. The in
former at the Columbia end of the
line was mistaken. Mr.. Freeman
called up Mr.. j p Gibson and ask
eel him about the balloting and it
was Mr.. Gibson who said that Mr..
McColl had been placed in nomi-
nation by Bleasc.
MIR. Gibson says that Mr.. Blcasc
did,on the floor, make some com
plimcntary marks about Mr.. Nc
Coll, and he thought, at the time
that he was placing Mr.. McCoH
in nomination.
This correction is made in Jus
ticc to Mr.. McColl and for the
sake Of accuracy.

Coior H~Iindness.

The term color blindness implies an
entire absence Of the color sense, and
there are q few persons who are In this
condition. but II also includes oil tho
forms Of partial color blindness In
which tho perception OF one OF the
Fundamental colorg - red, green and
Violot--is wanting, and which are
known as red blindness, green blind
ness and violet blindness. The line be.
tween these various kinds OF color
blindness and Il perfect perception OF
colors Is not sharply drawn, 80 that q
largo number Of persons have what Is
called n feeble color sense, which falls
short OF actual color blindness. There
Is no doubt that color blindness In It's
various forms Is much more common
than ID generally supposed. and 1t Is
moro common among the imperfoctly
than the we'll educated classes.
