This Is the Positive Statement Given
Out Today by President
Wilson
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, April Political
considerations will play no part in
President Wilson's election of fed
eral reserve board members. He said
today that no members of the board
would be prominent in politics, but
they would probably be bankers and
business men. 1t became known that
one man prominently considered for
the place, had been eliminated be-
cause of brief but active partici-
patton in Democratic politics.

DR.. Woodward spoke as follows
at the Y. NJ. c. A. meeting Sunday
afternoon:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gen
tlemen: | count myself happy in
having some part in these Begin
nings of the Y. NJ. G.. A. here in
Lakeland. Its growth has been
phenomenal. Starting in Sunday
school class, the first meeting in an
upper room, the second meeting too
large for the room, and now holding
its third meeting in the Auditorium
The growth reminds me of story
| heard Methodist minister relate
at banquet. An agent wished to
sell some land. The prospective buy
er asked if it was productive. The
agent said when | plant these Gu
cumber seeds you run. The man
could not outrun the vines, naviga-
'iou was ihpoooiDic, tuu lcfChlI >
into his pocket for his knife to cut
the vines from his legs, he found a
full grown cucumber. 1t does not
require very bold prophet to pre-
dict a glowing future for this asso-
citation.
Horace Mann, eminent educator
delivered an address at reforma-
tory for boys. In his address he
said, If only one boy is saved from
ruin it would pay for all trouble and
cost When asked if his statement
was not extravagant, Not If he
were my boy was the answer .
These people who are giving their
time, money. and thought to this
movement have vision Of what 1t
will mean to save one boy from ruin.
The safety of city depends on the
young manhood of the city. Except
the Lord keep the city, the watch
man waketh but in vain When
the king of Asia Minor came to visit
the king of Sparta, he asked where
were the walls of the city. The king
replied, Wait till tomorrow and
will show YOU On the morrow he
led out his army of Spartan soldiers,
fearing neither man nor devil, and
said with pride, These are the walls
of Sparta If the manhood of Lake
land decay. the walls go down. You
have a good city; may it be kept So
May you never have saloon to
curse you; may you soon have Y.
NJ. C. A. to bless you. I thank you. :"
