THE SURVIVAL OF THE sLIcKEsT

"The survival of the 'slickest' is the result of the present competitive sys- tem," declare professors of the Re search University, Washington, D. c. The survival of the 'slickest' |"
 Is the order of the day, With profiteers and gun-men
 A-stalking down the way; And the theory of old Darwin Strikes into a snag at last The survival of the fittest
 Is a relic of the past. "The survival of the 'slickest'
 Good professors tell us now, Tends to plant the wreath of laurel
 On the low and slanting brow. So the thug and auto stealer
 Will remain with all their tricks While their victims block the traffic On the good old River Styx. ''The survival of the 'slickest'
 Sounds sort of sad surprise Telling honest men forever
 That the scoundrel never. dies; That the slick must be much 'slicker That the 'slickest' are the best: That the way to be successful
 Is to 'out-slick' all the rest The survival of the slickest'"
 Is the gospel of despair, lFs Since the slickest are the schemers
 And the schemers aren't fair; Not an honest man and humble -a
 Could invoke an even chance While the card-shark tells his fortune And the fiddler makes him dance. ''The survival of the 'Slickest' v E:
 So the commentators say, Comes from toe much competition - In a high commercial day. : That may be; but why decry it?
 Since the proverbs all contend That no matter who's the slickest
 Time will get him in the end. '.The survival of the 'slickest'
 Brings a laugh to Father Time He who lets 'em live to ninety
 Or who trims 'em in their prime. For the slckest fall the hardest
 As the sickle comes and goes Cutting down the thorny cookie,
 Letting stand the tender rose.

conclusion ot tho draft of the plan and disbars from participation in the convention city officials who receive salaries or members of boards who are remunerated. This is an injustice to many excellent city officials; furth- ermore. it is a grave injustice to the city. e:. .-s..e.a ,4 s.s-
 There are in New Britain. as in all other cities. commissions whose la- bors arc O. importance. although these commissions share little of the limelight. On these boards are men who are qualified through special knowledge to discharge their duties and who receive only nominal sal- ary, the figure being out of propor- ton to tho importance of their work. Many of these men serve through a sense of public duty and some find it an actual hardship to neglect their own private interests to give their time to the city. Arc these men to be disbarred from holding office as ward delegates to the tax rate con- vention? Are their voices to be. stilled just because they happen to draw an annual pittance from the city treasury? It does not seem fair -that we are to be prevented from enjoying the fruits of their experience. and the "iSuOIl WHlCn springs rom llat Sx- perience. Before putting their final O. K. on the convention plan, New Britain's representatives in, the Gen. eral Assembly should investigate this question thoroughly.
 In days of old when nightha wlss were bold and wine clerks held their sway, this was the season of the year when book beer was in demand. In that dark age (sic) the front win dows of nearly every saloon were decorated with pictures of goats. Now the saloonkeepers' goats have disap- peared and it is rumored that the goats of the prohibitionists are rum hing wild.
 It would be interesting to learn the origin of the book beer season and why it was so popular. Leaping mentally back to that distant day, the writer cannot recall that book had any particular distinction. Tn fact, book had rather bitter taste and left enough souvenirs to last until at least 10 a. m. the day after it was con- stunned.
 Whites cafe was tho gathering point for the thirsty in those days brimming over with nut brown liquid (the man should be locked up for cruelty) and the walters wore new corns on their feet serving it.

(Rol,crt Russcll.)

That ruminatin' pipe O mine gets blacker every day: from deeper in its bowl come things it feels it wants to say-which means that smokin' violent the heat grows more severe, an there are born some thoughts that never may in print appear. Thera's nothin' sinful n 'em: they're held back by. circum- stance. the same as wooden legs restrict a feller in a dance. Most everybody's jest like that: they're got, deep in their heart. some secret things they'd like to tell which stand aloof. apart. They cannot make 'em public but they weighs upon their minds: they longs to gain the happiness O lettin' down the blinds. Such folks ain't always taciturn: they smile an laugh an joke; they may be aye sood-naturcd though they're afr1uent or broke. But they withhold them thoughts for fear they'n be misunderstood: they plug along jest workin'. sayin' things both bad an good. Most fortunate those people who possess not anguished minds they've known tho happiness, at times f Iettin' down the blinds.

SELECT HISTORIC
 AMERICAN TREES
(By United press1


 Washington, Jan. 14.-To mark dates that had a great influence upon American history the arrival of John and Charles Wesley in America and the birthday, January IS, of Daniel Webster-the American Forestry As sociation today announces a list of trees it has placed in it's hall of fame for trees with history.
 John and Charles Wesley arrived in Georgia from England on February 5, 1736, and the Wesley oak, under which they preached some of their first sermons on the American conti- nent, is nominated for a place in the hall of fame by James R. Jay, editor of the Christian Advocate of New York City. The tree is still standing on St. Simon's Island. Charles Wes- ley served as secretary to Governor Oglethorpe and with him went to lay out Frederick. As there was no house of worship, both the Wesleys preached their first sermons beneath this oak.
 In announcing the Webster tree for a place in the hall of fame the asso- citation says that the path from this tree, on which the orator hung his scythe when he finally decided to go to Darmouth College, lead almost to the presidency Webster twice re- fused nominations for the vice pres idency and both times the head of the ticket on which Webster would have been elected died in office.
 To mark the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the path finding expedition of Lewis and Charles, which opened up all the western country, the American for estry association announces the nom- ination of the Council Oak" at Sioux City for a place in the hall of fame. This oak was the one beneath which that band of hardy pioneers camped and wheer they held one of their first councils with the Indians after leav- ing St. Louis. The tree was 150 years old at least when Lewis and Clarke camped beneath it.
 The famous oak between Bridge port and Stratford, Conn.,, is nomi- mated for a place in the hall of fame. No oturist who gets in the vicinity of this tree, now said by experts to be more than 800 years old misses the chance to see it. W. R. Bates has purchased the plot on which the tree stands and built a retaining wall around the tree to save the oak.

R. E. Wait Tells Fayetteville Cham Der of Commerce Depression
 Is Psychological.

Fayetteville, Jan. 14.-That the present business depression is purely psychological and that it will soon give way to a more prosperous state of mind, and that Fayetteville and Washington county are in better financial condition than any other part of the state was the opinion expressed Tuesday night by R. E. Wait, secre- tary of the Arkansas State Bankers Association in an address before the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce, on Present and Future Financial Outlook" He expressed belief in the soundness of business, friendship for the state university and desire for a better business relationships between bankers and merchants of Fayette- vile and bankers and merchants of Little Rock.
 Incidental to bringing about the last named, Mr. Wait said that in February, when the group meeting or 10 counties represented in the Arkan- sas Bankers Association will be held here, a number of Little Rock bank CTS and business men will also visit Fayetteville in the interest of estab- fishing better relations between the capital of the state and the home of the states educational institution.
 "The way to make business better when it is bad, is to advertise" de- clared MT. Wait. "When business slumps, advertising should be increas- ed. Present conditions are only nat ural during a period of readjustment. People need just as many supplies as they ever did. Thrift is a good thing for business in the long run, and is necessary to real prosperity. A hys- teria of buying must always be fol- lowed by period of reaction, but the reaction in this case, I predict, will be short-lived. The situation is pure- ly a psychological one."
 MT. Wait was introduced by Tom Hart, and his address followed a short business session presided over by F. s. Root.
