IFE'S greatest waste is perverted
power. Few men make their lives
- sublime. They sink into the grave
with scarcely a trace to indicate that
they ever lived. They lived, they died.
Cradle and grave are closely brought
tcgether-there is nothing between
them.
Thousands might have rivaled the
PATRIOTISM of a Washington, the hu-
manity Of a Howard. or the elOquence
OF a Henry, who have left behind them
lot one memorial of their existence
because they lacked the courage of
convicton-the assertion of indiTidU-
atty.
Don't be phonograph, speaking out
just what is spoken in. Don't be 4 car
bon copy of others, but a bold print
original of yourself Don't be a parrot
be a prophet. Don't be a human brick
in deadly conformity with everybody in
your community. Dare to be singular
Don't be a clam. Be open to new ideas.
Be original. Let your next thing be
something else. Refuse to be pushed or
pulled by others.
individuality the Greatest Need.
The worlds great need today is more
individuality. Few make the most OF
themselves and live for the purpose for
which they are created. OF the hum
dreds of thousands of noble young men
and women who have just come out Of
our schools and colleges, few will max e
their lives noble History shows that
God has always put the crown upon
individuality. Don't let others fashion
what your like shall be. Don't be like
sheep, following in the track OF one
another. Get out of the old rut. Strike
out of the beaten path.
I don't disparage associations. Exag-
gerated individuality makes a man i'm
practicable But the weakness OF most
people is that they shape themselves
by others, so as to destroy force and
ffectiveness-they think in cliques
run with the crowd, and vote with the
majority.
Refuse to be a cipher. Resolve to give
your life meaning. John Stuart

MILLION ACRES OF SCHOOL
LANDS PUT ON THE MARKET

Austin, Tex, July 6.-There have just
been thrown on the market approximate
" 100000 acres of public school land
by the state, some of which land is to
be sold with the actual settlement re-
quirement, while there are many acres in
which this requirement is not necessary.
Some of this land came on the market
by expiration of lease contracts AID some
by cancellation of lease contracts on
which the annual rental has not been
paid. The other tracts include all of
the unsOld and Unbiased lands now be-
longing to the school fund which are not
in conflict with other surveys. The great
bulk of this land is situated in the west
ern section of texas.

There Is plenty of independence in

independence that it recently told the

Success Under Difficulties

The Worlds Great Need-MOre Individuality
BY MADISON c. PETERS
The Washington herald., 1912-11-30
Leave the Ex-Presidents Alone.

Mr.. Burleson, of Texas, would make
ex-Presidents Representatives-at-large
with salaries of SI7.5oo and seats in
the House of Representatives, which
they would be under no obligation to
occupy. But if ex-Presidents are to be
pensioned, it would be wiser to give
the pension, as in other cases. in con-
sideration of the complete retirement
from public life.
Most of our Presidents. upon their
retirement from office, have had the
excellent taste to avoid the arena which
had no further honors for them, and
in which they can render no higher
service than they already had rendered.
John Quincy Adams went to the House
of Representatives ON account of the
slavery question, and Andrew Johnson
returned to the Senate as a matter OF
personal vindication. But the judg-
ment of the country is decidedly in
favor of the retirement from politics
of a man who retires from the Presi-
dency.
1t certainly would not be for the
peace and comfort of any President to
have his predecessor in Washington
with an official status. and invited by
his Office, to act as the censor of his
successor.

SCORES OF CONGRESSMAN
BUZZ ABOUT CHAMP CLARK
AND CONGRATULATE HIM

Scores OF Congressman buzzed about
the corridors of the Capitol yesterday
discussing plans for the coming session
of Congress, which will be convened on
Monday.
Speaker Clark's office was the first
place that most of them visited, Demo
Gratis coming to assure their allegiance TO
him and promises OF support for his re-
election. and Republicans assuring him
OF their continued friendship.
One OF the first to greet the Speaker
was Minority Leader Mann. Mann and
the Speaker had a short chat. in which
they exchanged congratulations on their
respective reflections to seats in the
House.
Mann said he expected little general
legislation at the coming session, and
most OF the members agreed to this
proposition.

The District Commissionerships.

Reports enanstins from the White
House indicate that President Taft has
decided to- make the appointments IN
January, filing the vacancies of the
two District Commissioners, Messrs.
Rudolph and Johnston, whose terms
then will expire. In The Herald's
opinion this is as it should be, be-
cause Mr.. Taft intends to follow
precedent and name again one Re
publican and one Democrat for these
positions 80.
20 Quite naturally rumors fly thick and
fast as to who the nominees would or
should be. Some say that the in
cuulbents are to be reappointed, but
both Messrs Rudolph and Johnston
have declared that they are not anx-
ious-even not willing-to serve again.
We do not propose to go into the
merits of the case or the claim either
of these gentlemen may have for being
asked to continue in their responsible
Office. Both have been efficient and en-
ergetic officers who, under the law,
have tried to administer the affairs of
the District as nearly satisfactory as
Congress would let them. But it would
apPear-inasmuch especially as neither
is urging his reappointment-tha the
President should make use of his pre-
rogative and name their successors. and
not create an interregnum that may be
drawn out until such time as his
successor may have acquainted him
self thoroughly with the affairs and the
needs of the District, which 10 Mr.
Taft, who for many years has been a
resident, are an open book.
There are among the local Demo-
Gratis men well known to the President,
prominent in their party and well fitted
for the post of District Commissioner,
such as could not help being acceptable
TO Mr.. Wilson. BY selecting one of
these in place of Mr.. Johnston-the
Democratic incumbent-the President
would be not only doing his successor
the favor of relieving him from the
worry and responsibility of making his
first appointment as Mayor of Wash
ington' without being absolutely GER
tain of his ground, but Mr. Taft under
present circumstances would be quite
sure of his appointment being agree
able to and confirmed by a Democratic
Senate, providing he names the right
man.

Socialists shrewd Move.

While there is disapproval in Europe
of the order for Worldwide strike"
lasting twentytfopr hours, on Decem-
Der 10, as protest against the Balkan
war and It's extension into other ooun-
tries, issued blythe international Social
ist Convention, at its session in the his
tore old cathedral at Basic, in Switzer-
land, yet stfiis proceeding may be called
a very significant act on the part of
that influential political organization,
-Four hundred and fifty men, repre-
senting twenty nations of Europe, a
number of them members of -parlia-
ments, attended tlle& gathering, among
them such men as .Bebel Germany,
Adler (Austria), Kerr Hardie eng

who command respect. because of their
character and intellect, even of those
who dissent. from their peculiar or
radical doctrines; men who are leaders
Of parties that are growing in power
steadily in their respective countries,
and in some as much as holding the
balance of political influence. z>'''
Their principle Of "znti-militarism'
may be regarded as visionary in the old
countries, and their universal strike
proposition may be called pernicious,
yet the special purpose of the congress,
called by the international Socialist Bu-
reau at Brussels, to prevent the spread
of the war to other lands, will command
The sympathy of the public, though it
may have no patience with the tenets of
Socialism
Were the Balkan League left to set
tie terms of peace with Turkey without
intervention or influence of any kind
there is reason for supposing that no
interests of any of the great powers
would be menaced and a more lasting
peace assured than would result from
any meddIing of self-seeking powers.
Nor is it necessary for her own safety
that Austria should intervene to balk
the plans Of little Servia for the an
nexation of part of Albania in order to
get a much 1ceded. outlet for her COM
merce on the Adriatic -
Hence, apart from theory or ethical
purposes, it must be taken as pretty
shrewd move on the part of the So
cialists TO so array themselves upon
ground where they must command the
sympathy of a fair-minded, unbiased,
peace-loving public
