Walker D. Hines, assistant director
general Of railroads, has been appoint.
ed director general by President Will
son, succeeding William G. McAdoo
who now retires to private life.
Recommended by Mr. McAdoo.
Mr.. Hines. who was recommended
by Mr.. McAdoo. is an advocate of the
latter;s plan for five-year continua-
tion of government control to provide
a test period and has supported most
other policies OF the retiring director
general. with whom he has been asso-
ciatsd tAroushout the last year of
government management. He is ac-
credited with having originated many
policies Of the railroad administration.
II Congress does not enact new rail-
road legislation at an early date Mr..
Hines fAvors returning the roads at
once to private management, and this
is expected to develop into a strongly
contested issue within the next month
or two.
Announcement Of the appointment,
which does not need to be confirmed
by the Senate, was made today by
Mr.. McAdoo, In the west on yaca-
tion trip to Los Angeles. The news
reached the White House from the
President by cable last night. and
was autographed to Mr.. McAdoo at
Winslow, Ariz.
Former Chairman Of Santa Fe.
Until he became a member Of the
railroad administration staff a year
ago the new director general was
chairman of the Santa Fe, and was
one Of the youngest railroad execu-
tives in the country. He is now forty
eight years Of age. He became afhli-
ated with railroads as lawyer.
Mr.. Hines salary probably will be
determined by the President. Mr.. Nc
Adoo divided his time between the
and director general, and received no
compensation for the latter Office.
Estimates on Salary.
AZ assistant director general Mr..
Hines has received SIS. 600 a year.
There has been much speculation as
to what the salary Of q new director
general would be, some estimates
placing It at $4,000.
Since Mr.. McAdoo's departure Mr..
Hines has given particular attention
to the marine workers strike in New
York. While he has been commune
eating with the director general, it is
understood he had full authority in
the situation.
When Mr.. Hines became vice presf-
dent Of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad in 1901 he was just thirty-one
years of age. He is a native of Ken
lucky and was born February 20, 1870,
near bowling Green. where at one
time he aided his mother, a school
teacher.

Lifelong Ambition of Pitcher Hub

pointed man. Hub, his eyes tear

Gently confided to sorrowing friends
the story OF a life's tragedy. of an
ambition OF fifteen years standing
never yet and apparently never to
be fulfilled.
I've been playing baseball for
fifteen years and I've never stolen a
base" moaned the portly boxman OF
the Pelicans.
Surely. Hub" urged a bystander.
''in all these years you have at
times been on first and a runner on
third and two out, or have gotten to
first with the enemy ahead by a
flock of runs. and willing to let you
steal round to third just for the
fun of it?"
Never, never" answered the old
timer. I'm determined to steal a
base, though. IL / have to stay in
baseball ten years more or break a
leg while trying. The only way I
could ever find for me to steal a
base was to get a lantern and go
out at night. and the scorers won't
count that kind"

home to every thoughtful soul, is
that of the Master-.For what II
man prohted, IL he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own
souif- Matt 16:26).
1t is possible then for a man to
lose his own soul. To deny is to re-
ject the Lords own doctrine. The
safeguard against such incalcuIable
loss is specifically indicated-to fol-
low the Savior, and this can mean
whatever the temporary suffering or
worldly sacrifice may be.
The occasion of Christ's question
with its accompanying brief but
forceful discourse was this: He had
reiterated to the disciples, with
greater directness than ever before
the facts of His approaching death
and the ignominy that would be
forced upon Him. Peter. impetuous
and impulsive as ever. exclaimed
"Be II far from thee, Lord, this
shall not be unto thee" In that
remark. though well-intended and
bold. lay the suggestion that Jesus
should avert the impending tragedy
to Himself, and save His own life
The Lords reply to Peter was a re-
buke of the severest kind.
Then followed the avowal that
one who saves his life at the cost OF
righteous duty shall lose it. and the
comforting assurance that he who
is ready to sacrifice his life in the
Masters service shall find it. II
this be true with life as the stake
hnx en- shall he with -
station, worldly power, or pet but
false theory and doctrine. as the
thing to be gained or lost?
Consider the words of Jacob the
Nephite:
and the foolishness of men! When
they are learned they think they
are wise, nnd they hearken not unto
the counsel Of God for they set 1t
aside, supposing they know of them
selves-wherefore. their wisdom L.
foolishness and II prohteth them
not. Behold, the way for
man IL narrow but II Heth in 4
strnight course before him, and the
keeper of the gate Is the Holy One
Of Israel, and He employeth no scr

way, save 1t be by the gate, for He

God Ia His name. And whose

These are questions put by the
Teacher of teachers. They are re-
lated we may consider them as
one. Simple, like unto all the Mas
ter's teachings-for high precept
and profound philosophy are em-
bodied in the interrogatory-the
question is searching. peremptory.
challenging. Who that hears or
reads can brush 1t aside? Com
pelling in its incisive brevity. it is
of haunting directness. Once con-
sidered. even cursorily. it will not
down; once admitted to the inner
consciousness. it will not out. The
baubIes of earth are set over
against the priceless jewels of
heaven; the fleeting things of NOR
tality are put in contrast with the
enduring verities of eternity.
Granted that this is a material
world, and that experience in ma
terial affairs is a pervading and
indispensable element in the cur
riculum of life's school, it is no
less truly a fact that earth-life
is neither the beginning nor the
end of individual existence and pro-
gression.
Material belongings. relative
wealth or poverty, physical envir-
onment-the things on which we
are prone to set our hearts and
anchor our aspirations, the things
for which we sweat and strive, Of
times at the sacrifice of happiness
and to the forfeiture of real sue
cess-these after all are but ex-
ternals, the worth of which in the
reckoning to come shall be count
ed in terms of the use. we have
made of them.
Is the plow more than the field
to be furrowed. or the sickle than
the ripened grain? Can gold stay
the hunger pangs better than the
nourishing food that the money
may buy?
The context with which occurs
the crucial Interrogation quoted above
points the question sharply: @Who-
soever will come after me. let him
deny himself. and tnke up his cross,
and follow me. For whosoever will
save his life shall lose II, but who-
socver shall lose his life for my
sake and the gospels the same
shall save it,
The cross to be taken up may be
heavy. perhaps to be dragged be-
cause too burdensome to be borne.
We are apt to assume that self
denial is the sole material of our
cross: but this Ia true onlv as xye
regard self-denial in its broadest
sense. comprising both positive and
negative aspects. One mans cross
may consist mostly in refraining
from doings to which he is in
clined, another's in doing what he
would fain escape. Ones besetting
sin is evil indulgence; his neigh
bor's lazy inattention to the ac-
tivities required by the Gospel of
Jesus Christ, coupled perchance
with puritanical rigor in other OBJ
servances.
But the great question. striking

American Commercial conference.
which was held in Washington last
week. For Mr.. Blaine was greatly
interested In the development Of our
trade with South America
Everything which was said and
done at the conferences. furnished
abundant evidence that the present
day disposition of the South Ameri-
can people Is in favor of maintaining
and steadily increasing trade with
the United States. municipalities
and nations in South America are
seeking the market which today Ia
the worlds great source of credit
and funds, for the United States Is
that market place.
Look to U. 8. for Funds
It was the fact that needed hnanc-
ing prior to the European war was
secured by South America In Lon
don. Paris and Berlin. which enabled
those nations across the sea to COM
mand the greater part of the South
American trade. Now 1t is evidenced
tnat the United States Is ready to
supplant with our own credit and
funds to London and Paris as the
source Of financial aid to South
America.
Trade is sure to follow the securing
Of funds. Furthermore trade Is the
more easily stimulated especially in
South America II there be extension
OF credit for a period far in excess of
thirty or sixty days. It Is believed
that extensions of this kind will be
secured by the South American mer-
chants. There Ia also a mutual feel
ing of friendship and esteem. Mr..
Schwab said TO the delegates at the
conference that he had never had any
but the pleasantest. the most straight
forward and the happiest outcome In
all the business he had ever done in
South America.
One of the commodities of the Unit
ed States for which South America
will make large demands Is coal.
When the nations of that continent
were dependant upon England. France
and Germany they secured almost all
the coal they needed from Wales.
The cost OF this coal tended to Pc
vent the development of South Amer
lean coal and it can be placed In the
South American markets at consider
ably less cost than the Welch coal
formerly commanded.
