To The Republican:
 I talked with a man this morning who told me that all the sports were at the boxing bout last night. That may be true from his standpoint, but I wonder whether all the good sports were there after all.
 This reminds me of some sports I met last Sunday in Ray. There is a bunch of boys in that mining camp that can take the medal from any of the Arizona sports. They are game. They stay put. They have got the stuff in them that will make good men.
 In the first place I found them in Sunday school and it takes a good sport to get to Sunday school every Sunday especially when there is not grown up man in the school. They were there and knew something about the lesson.
 In the next place they were game while I taught them for 30 minutes. In the next place they stayed to church while I talked 30 minutes more.
 At the close of church I told them I would talk again in the evening and asked them whether they would be there. They said they would but I have had boys tell me that before and not mean it.
 In the evening they were all there and in the front seats before I got there. They stood it for an hour and then stuck around and were sports enough to tell me that they liked it and wanted to know when I would be there again.
 This is about the finest compliment any man can have. It is the highest medal. l will always have a warm spot for those boys of Ray. It may be nec- essary to remind some that these boys were not so different in looks from any other Arizona boys. They were just boys and not angels. They reminded me of that fact several times. For ex- emple when one of them said that he expected to go to heaven some day, it caused the rest of them to collapse. II tend to go to heaven just yet. | Just boys. Red headed, tow headed, black kheaded, freckled, ugly, sunburned, towsled, sloppy, noisy, irreverent. sell | fish, bad hammered, exaSperating, ready to fight, quick witted, impudent, heart less; but good d-natured, good hearted i generous, just. highminded, lofty ideal, patriotic, good sports.
 l These boys were about 12 years old. some bit older It is the critical age in the home, in the school and along the moral lines. To know them and help them is the job to challenge men today.

The Same Old World

Out of the travail of the war many Of us thought the world was being born again Amid the clouds we thought we discerned the dim outlines Of new heaven and a new earth. We thought wit messing the greatest all miracles great and wonderful that nobody had it-a change of human nature. We thought that when the trav"'- should be ended the world would have shed all fishness and there would be nothing that not pure and noble.
 We might have looked about and have ob- served that these changes not taking place in our immediate vicinity We would have observed the little meannesses of the profiteers. We might have looked higher and have found that politicians more hotly than were playing for place. Still higher would have the very nations which were sup posedy struggling for world righteousness trying to circumvent another. Even among the hosts of righteousness. allied military leaders trying to put things other allied military leaders in the very face of the Prussian peril.
 There had been no change at all. We only thought there ought to be and in the general obscurity we thought it taking place.
 We cannot forbear enlarging upon this subject by quoting the following from Rupert Hughes latest novel. What Is the World Coming to?"
 "Hades had come above ground yet people flocked like tourists-rnen, women and children by the mil lions had crowded into the torment unafrad, endur- ing all the things the mediaeva terrorsts put into hell to Czehennize the people into being good. And yet people went being just good and just as bad as witty as morose as gentle cruel as before.
 "For ten thousand years the same patterns had been visible throughout human history for who so cared to read. Some people had been very bad at times and some very good at times; some nations had streaks of nobility and then streaks of ferocy some cycles had been glorious and shameful; but mo- body and no nation had failed to ride the see-saw
 'Yet some dear souls persist in thinking that day what they call right and truth will permanently disestablish what they call wrong and error. They could see their prototypes making the beauti- full fools of themselves in the market-places of As- syria but they look always ahead, behind, and distrust the one fairly reliable guide experience
 "They loudly proclaim that there must be no more war; that mankind must bind itself together in an indissoluble league of virtue and altruism They dsproved their own sweet dreams by the cruelty of their islanders against the unbelievers and the hangers back from their folly. With Love their banner they hated all the increduous and trampled them under with the recklessness of all crusaders
 Tn the meanwhile 1919 found the world with twenty y-three wars full blast with nation dis trusting every other nation and with superstition of the most primeval sort raging circles Scientists and peers published solemnly their communications bv the laying on of hands, said so at least; and all things were as they in the beginning and apparently ever shall be, world without end. aas!"

qualification eliminating a great man as a leader
 But a Young Lochinvar has come out of the West" and we now have man of ability, integrity and strength, man who has passed through local and state offices with increasing efficiency and power, has passed into national life, retaining the solid support of his home state and section, and is now uniting and directing the great positive controlling forces of the country. He is analysing with cold logic the sophistry of the proposed treaty and league of nations, and shattering the vulnerable structure with sledgehammer body blows that every man and woman can feel. He is a man that both knows and does things, and comes out in the open where all can see, where every one who approves can say: "I can see and un- derstand what he believes in. He is right. I am with him." Such man is a real leader, and logically the next president of the United States, Hiram Johnson.
