Our Next Secretary Of State u
Big Man.

Big Man.
II know he ran for President, but
I want to know all about him." 1t
was Jack teasing his Uncle Ted for
another story, this time begging to
hear about Charles Evans Hughes, the
next Secretary of State.
But Jack, cant tell you ALL
about a man like Mr.. Hughes in the
short time we have tonight. | will try
to tell you something though, to show
that Mr.. Harding is living up to his
promise to choose the best men OF the
country for his official family"
"Where was he born?' asked Ruth.
"He was born," answered Uncle
Ted, "at Glens Falls, New York,
April II, 1862. He first went to col
lege at Colgate University from 1876
to 1878 and received his first degree
of A. B. from Brown University in
1881. Since that time he has received
degrees from practically every great
university in the United States. He
was governor of New York state for
two terms and a member of the Unit
ed State Supreme Court, thehighest
court in the country, from which posi-
ton he resigned when he was nom
mated on the Republican ticket for
President in June, 1916. At that cleo
ton he received 254 electoral votes
while Woodrow Wilson received PIT.
In addition to these importan offices
he has held, and honors which have
meen bestowed upon him, he has been
attorney in some o fthe most impor-
tant cases in the history of the coun-
try.
an a boiled-down way, that shows
you how big a man Mr.. Harding has
picked to hol dthe highest post in his
cabinet"
"What do you mean by highest
post?" asked Jack.
"You see Jack, according to law if
anything happens to the President OF
the United States, if he dies or is as
sassinated as was the case with Pres
idents Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley,
the Vice President becomes President
for the remainder of the term, whether
it be two days or two years"
What would happen if the Vice
President should die after that?" was
Ruth's quick question.
Just what was getting to-" said
Uncle Ted "If the President dies and
then the Vice-President dies during
the same term the Secretary of State
is the next man in line for the Presi-
dency. So you see it is important to
have big man for the job. But that
is a small reason compared with the
actual duties ia Secretary Of State.
He conducts our correspondence with
all foreign countries. Largely upon
recommendations, ambassadors, minis
ters and consuls are appointed His
department handles all passports for
those wwho wish to travel in foreign
countries and his is most response
BILE position requiring at all times not
only the best brains but tact and re-
sourcefulness.
Nov l want to tell you little in
cident that happened when Mr.. Hard
ing toldthe newspaper men down in
Florida that Mr.. Hughes would be his
Secretary of State 1t shows so wei
that Mr.. Harding has gone slow in
picking big men for his cabinet and
how he intends to have those men run
their own departments and not to De

It IS known fact that much of the theatrical talent of Conway is found among the students, so with this fact Tn mind, 1t Is easy to imagine that the show will be interesting and amusing from the first flash of the footlights until the last fall of the curtain. A prominent feature of the program is novelty acrobatic act by Lonnie Lipe and Tommie Hayes. A bevy of male chorus girls will also be on hand to liven thing consider ably. The show will be put on by men only, although there will be several female characters taken by men, Fred l Scott, star of the past Elks' Min sterls, will play a leading role as a young lady stenographer.

and whether they are bond or free,
gentlefolk or freemen, what matter
Wherever man is, there is room for
doing good" Put Emerson's dictum
into practice everywhere and it would
introduce a world already sufficiently
broken up into sects, classes, and par
ties, divisions more alternating than
creed distinctions, more bitter and
personal than race hatred, more IT.
reconcilable than class separations.
The World Neighborhood
Who is my neighbor? Not only the
man who lives next door, the man who
attends the same church, the man
who belongs to the same club, the
man who owns the same make OF car.
the man whose skin is the same color
the man who speaks the same Ian
guage, but the man who lives on the
other side of the globe, the man who
speaks a gutteral language the man
who lives in the jungle, the man who
has never worn any clothes, the man
whose brain is only smear, the man
who would eat you if he could reach
you with his spear, he is your neigh
Dor. In other words; He is your
neighbor who needs you. The cry of
starving child in Germany, or Bel
gium, or Poland, or Austria, or China
lays claim to the millions of Americas
wealth and we stop our ears to it at
our peril. All the world is neigh
borhood. A neighbor is a near-bor.
He is not a "Dago," nor a "Sheeny, =
nor "Hunkie" nor 'sKanuck." He
is a neighbor. You neglect him at
your peril. You snub him to your
disgrace. You ridicule him to your
dishonor. Helping a neighbor is not
a question of proximity; but Of pos
sibility of service; not Of geography
but Of graciousness.
The lesson is all summed up in one
word; "Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as myself"
Keep love in your life, my friend,
If you would have perfect joy;
Keep love, never let her depart
For who would his life destroy?
For life's no longer than love, my
friend;
When love is no more, it's the
journeys end,
And Regret and Fear shall your way
attend
Keep love in your life, my friend

'Fruit-a-tives' was the only remedy
