THE MAN WHO TALKS

S9QleAsF ms IS qaHe the bettEr for all concerned. Quite the reverse of this, there are some things that must be re- membered:' to forget them is nething short of criminal Anniversary days tend
 to fix, the salient points of history in our mindF. Along this line, Columbus day is of the highest imqeytancs, because it
 covers larger area Of the political world than any historical event up te that time. It was not only ths record of the adli- tion, of a new hemisphere to the known surface of the globe, but it more or less involved the policies of all the states of Europe. It. is hardly too much to say | that the great discovery of Columbus marked the birth hour of modem gsog-
 raphy; it ecomDelled the re-mapping of the world. For exploration and discov- cry it was clearly the crowning event of
 the fifteenth century.
 Columbus dey aRsFds abgndsnt opper- | tunity to register each year the political
 progress made in all the Americas. It
 pays an unconscious f.bute to the great
 man whose discovery has made such progress possible! The people of Brazil | have recognized this fact in celebrating 1 the centenary of their iRdependence. The ! year is also. remarkable for the long standing disagreement between Chile and
 Peru being settled through the kindly in-
 teFYeHtioa of the United States, which was celebrated on Oct. 1a. The name of l Columbus is closely identified with that l of Santo Domingo, as it was one of the 1 discoveEies ef the great navigator, Set | 12 of this year marked the withdrawal | of the United States from the actual con
 trpl of the affairs of the httle republic
 as evidence was given of It's ability fer 1 self government. The condition of Mex | ico is the leasta satisfactory of all Latin | ih% Ean las year. Generally speaking, the Americas are fast coming to their own.
 For keep and pertinent bon 14ets ex-
 President Wilson had very few equals. In referring to those officials who spend
 most of their time in planning for re- | election, he has this iHcisive remark: If you think too much about being Fe-elect- I ed, it is very difficult to be worth re- electipg." Of caurse this is the kind of
 talk that the average politician very
 much disiikes to hear. because it strikes the very nerve center of where most of
 them live. It goes without saying that
 the country cannot get the best service
 from those who receive s7,500 a year for serving themselves. It may be as tFue today as it was centuries ago that "Te
 cannot serve two masters."' When men
 are most of the time preParing for Ee-
 election, it shows that they are quite shaky as to how their record ignpresses
 their constituents. Where 2 nan has to move heaven and earth te get ReRaiRated second time, and still harder a third time. it is about time that he be unaRi. mousIy elected te stay at home.
 1t may be teo much to expect uEaNoFed
 enjoyment and happiness in life. In some way or other, we pay fer the things we get. This applies ta Nmast things aHaT 1 T., rTiF oP -.,y, f 1 shine air and the like. But when il comes te the betteHaeat of life through
 the activities of euf fellow men, we pas
 the price they demand for their labaFs : This is true especially in the great fiele 7 of scientific inyentien and discovery. Few = things We enjoy more today than thl f improvement that has been made in eu, e roads. Not very long age we could no s go far into the country in aPy diFFctieI
 i without blowing through sand or mud ', without going up or down almost i'm :. passabfe grades. This is now fer tn ,. most part ancient history. But for tl' change the price is being paid, especiali. Q in some parts of the country: In Ohi Q strangers are warned against trayelinl = on the highway at night a1eRe. This i 0 1 the humiliation: "We live in censtan Q terror of the gunrnen of the cities" e it possible that we have returned to tn Il days of Dick FuFPin and Claude Puval s Will someone explain why we alway Il underrate the money value of any relig ,r ious work?
