HOW THE PRESIDENT CHOOSES

President Wilson's statement of the principle upon which he pro-
ceeds in appointments to public office is worth more than a passing
notice.
He says that he chooses men whom he knows to be just and far
rather than men who would decide questions in a certain way. In
other words, he studies the general record and reputation Of a nan
and bases his decision upon these rather than upon any n opinion
the nan may have o II a specific subject.
A system of appointments based O n such a principle is bound
to have its faults. Sometimes it is necessary to choose a la for a
given place who can be depended upon O carry III a certain definite
policy. But as the statement OF a general proposition the president 5
view is sensible. An intelligent and conscientious man a ordinarily

lgent and conscientious he is the more likely will he be to adapt his
previous specific opinions to the new needs of a Observation-Disclosures

Apparently JOHNSON should have
knocked MORAN out, instead OF winning
the bout between them on points. The
suspicion is unavoidable that a desire
to make a longer exhibition for the mo-
ton pictures had much to do with his
failure to end the contest early in Its
history. But the pictures of the black
loating for twenty rounds against n
competitor plainly not in his class can
scarcely be worth watching. Even tn,
familiar Western dramas of the NOV
leg are preferable to this.
The betting showed how lightly Mo-
RAMS chances were regarded by tho
men best equipped to judge of them
Yet 1t Is not suggested that any other
white could have entered the ring
against JOHNSON with a better chance
Of success. Indeed. there are no i'm
pressivc heavyweight fighters to-day
except JOHNSON, and there is no pres
cpt opportunity or machinery for their
development. JouSsO seems assured
OF his title for several years to come

markab,e body by his own efforts.

creased In 1918 TO s<0,000.oO0. To accom-

are high and parents well to do the

should be. the association asserts

Six thousand to 1000 lives are lost

our case had already been properly
