An Inspiring Example.

7 THREE-SCORE YEARS the present-day
~ American who has lived temporarily and
wisely arrives at the prime of his capacity for
usefulness and enjoyment of living.
In Washington yesterday four great men OBJ
served the anniversaries of their births. Secretary
of State Charles E. Hughes was 20; Secretary of
War John w. Weeks 62; Advocate General
Enoch A. Crowder g.; Representative Samuel
Winslow. of Massachusetts,, was 70. -.r..-
All four have lived lives crowded with accom-
plishment. They have much that is common
place in our present civilization emerge from its
experimental stages. The street car, the automo-
bile, the telephone the electric light the submarine
the airplane-all are encompassed in the range Of
their backward vision. They have seen a mighty
empire rise and fall. Potentates and powers have
come and gone They have lived through the
richest period in world history.
Each of these men personally has played a
prominent part in the making of history. Honors
have been heaped upon them. Secretary Hughes
lawyer, Gen. Crowder as soldier, and Secre-
tary Weeks and Mr.. Winslow as business men,
have risen to the highest points in their fields.
Today they stand at still higher levels than it
was possible to reach in restricted fields.
They statesmen dealing with world problems
at critical era in the history of the human race
Many younger will disagree with these
four on many points But all must realize that
they furnish inspiring example of the fact that
onward and reaches new SUBMITS. fighting new
battles, when the less ambitious man is thinking
only of snatching few years rest.

"Cactus Bill" Answers.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Mr.. Kabat thinks 1 am trying to
convey the impression that 1 am
a hard boiled westerner. merely be-
cause / am writing under the So
briouet of Cactus Bill" Without
offering any explanation Of my Sc
lection of this particular nom oe
plume, will state that L nave no
desire TO make myself conspicuous
in the public eye.
IL Mr.. Kabat considers a man a
''cake-eater" because he is renneo
and gentlemanly. then, I am afraid
George Washington. Abraham LIN
coin and a great many other Amer
leans prominent in history are a
bunch of "cake-eaters." and he Is
wiser than the late King solomon
for making the discovery.
To my mind. a man need not be
well-versed in the fnesse of the ball
room in order to be refined; nor
need he be effeminate. As to lin
gerie clerks acquiring characteristics
of the female of the species. that
might apply in some cases. but NOT
all. A man can be a man unoer
any circumstances, providing he does
not succumb TO the sway OF eHNi
ronment. No one ever accused our
old friend, the army cook. Of wear
ing corsets and pink ribbons.
However. I can't prosecute MT.
Kabat for thinking that i must be
cake eater" And calling him
names as an act OF retaliation Is
a pretty cheap form of sport. But.
since the gentleman thinks / am
hiding behind a tough nom de plume,
and since he has adopted such a
hostile attitude, he may. by making
inquiries at the proper source. learn
my identity. l assure him there Is
no obstacle in the way Of his max
inC my acquaintance.
II assailed Mr.. Kabats charac-
ter, II was not intentional. But it's
a strange fact that our most bitter
critics have tender skins when they
receive knocks in retaliation. When
people go strutting about, shouting
their heads OF. telling this wide
but narrow" world it's wrong. they
should don suits of armor to mako
themselves immune from the effects

and tin-cans. CACTUS BILL

Statistics and Lies.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
It has been said that there are
three kinds OF lies: Black lies,
white lies and statistics" For the
latter may be given in such a way
as to create a false Impression. For
instance one of your correspondents
quotes statistics to prove that vac
cinstion has greatly diminished the
number of deaths from small poA,
and thinks only ignorance can ac-
count for the prejudice against II.
But he did not tell us how much
cancer has increased during the
same length Of time. As IL Is. some
people would prefer to take their
chances of having the small pox
rather than have their blood po-
luted with vaccine matter. But the
doctors are so anxious TO save us
from the results OF our own ignor-
ance that they have induced the
Lawmakers to compel all the chill
dren to be vaccinated whether their
parents approve of Il or not. There
is most as much sense and Justice
in such laws az there would be in
a law to compel all the children
to be baptised to save them from
the Ignorance OF their parents.
some Of whom might not think It
at all necessary. No, there isn't
either, for baptism would not
threaten the life or heAth of the
child and vaccination does. Not all
doctors. however, believe in vac
cination. I once knew OF one who
did not. and IL came about In this
way: He vaccinated his own daugh-
ter who died of blood poisoning
from the effects Of 1t. That con-
verted him.
While the doctors are disagree
ing the laity may feel justified in
forming opinions Of their own. and
demanding of their legislators the
right Of private judgment
