work of the eleventh man. The Re-
creation team worked hard to over
come the local teams lead but their
efforts were In vain even though
twenty-five fouls were called on the
Amboy team throughout the game,
while seven were called on the home
team,

Strength or Weakness?

We have just read the following in Hoomans column
of The Constitution:
If there is of President Wilson's many virtues
that stands out prominently than any other,
it is the virtue of standing resolutely behind his
appontees, particularly when they are under fire.
That is virtue that sparkles like diadem, if not
carried to the point of bull-headness to use home

Now we should say that if Mr.. Wilson has weak
point in his inclination to stick too long to subor
dinate who is in the wrong.
To stick to ones friends is indeed admirable quality
of character the official position puts another burden

whole weight of it into the defense of Baenger and
refusing to change after clearly shown that Baen

support crook in Office, matter what his personal
friendship may have been.
We do not believe Mr. Wilson would go so far or that
he would keep incompetent in Office after he knew
the facts but are afraid he does not go after the facts
in the right way at times.

Farm Better than City

When a fellow goes from small
towns and the rural section to the
large city and becomes street car
conductor or policeman you never
read glowing descriptions of him and
his city career; but when he becomes
banker or capitalist, his praises are
sung forever. When one succeeds,
one hundred don't get anywhere but
the, exceptional cases are always play
ed up to a fare-ye-well; and this very
thing has wrecked the career of more
young ruralities than any other that
cosuld be mentioned. There's more
money on the farm for the average
young man than he can make in any
other line. But the city bait looks
shiny; the colorful stories make an
appeal, and hundreds are attracted to
the bright lights only to get street
