little debate you had with yourself yester-

coat or hat. The Old one was perfectly
comfortable and respectable, but you want
ed the pleasure Of a new one. How did the
debate come out? You will probably go on
holding these debates all your life. You
will get in the habit of having them come
out one way or the other. If they come
out in favor of thrift and saving, you will
always have money. II they come our in
favor Of extravaganza you will always be

This time there is moro at stake than
mere saving, You have heard Of the bat

eat beautiful maiden, Don't you think the
maiden would have helped IL she could? The
battle is on now to decide your destiny.
If the monster wins, you will give--not

robbed you of your liberties; you will give
your time TO military training to prepare
to fight the monster yourself you will live
a life of fear OF the frightfulness and cruel

ago "wsnamaker is discursive, Beeber Is
logical and argumentatve and Wolf Is COM

powerful one, and It Is predicted that it will
elect the president and that Mr. Beeber
will be the choice.

time required by the duties as president
