BIG OAKS FROM LITTLE ACORNs.

Gen. Green Clay Smith of Kentucky de-
ieated by one vote for the republican vice presiden
tal nomination in 1864, and Andrew Johnson, his
successful competitor, became vice president and
later president. The dreadful history of the
struction period might have been written differently
but for that vote.
When Senator Tom Platt "sdetracked' his po-
ltca enemy, Theodore Roosevelt, by making him
the vice presidential nominee in 1900 he little knew
that he making history.
When the New York machine "sidetracked' Ches
ter A. Arthur by sequestering him in the vice presi
dency its membership little realized that the action
would result in bringing about the election of
democrat to the presidency for the first time in 80
years.
Political strategy took David Davis from the
preme bench and made him senator from Illinois,
and the electoral commission of 1876 rendered
decision that settled of the momentous problems
that ever confronted mankind making Rutherford
B. Hayes president.
Cool and courageous action in grave crisis
taken by Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts re-
suited in his election to the vice presidency. and
from that crisis in Boston the republic reaps the
benefit of having cool, courageous chief executive
to guide the ship of state during days of heavy
storm.
Fellow citizens, upon the vote you fail, neglect
or refuse to cast may depend the very life of the
nation.

tered Knox College, where he made
| astronomy his principal study. AS a
student his speakings and writings on
scientific subjects attracted the at
tention of the learned men OF the day
and he was advised to fit himself for
an astronomical career. This he en-
deavored to do, but recognition was
not immediate.
Work Becomes Notable.
Following his graduation, Prof
Larkin held minor positions in vari-
Gus colleges until 1880, when he was

This was the opportunity he long had
sought, and during the succeeding
eight years from this post his con-
tributions to astronomy and science
were SO notable that he was called
back to Knox College to become di-
rector Of its observatory. one of the
largest of the day. In this position
Prof. Larkin took his place among
the recognized astronomers of the
world and was accredited with dis

was obliged to give up his researches
at Knox College. Visiting California

observatory, then in charge of Dr.
Lewis Swift, noted astronomer. DR.
Swift desired a vacation and asked
Prof. Larkin to continue the work OF
the observatory for time.

Months passed and DR.. Swift de-
clded not to return. Meanwhile Prof
Larkin had made the most important
discovery of his career-the mountain
air had restored his health. An offer
or the dictatorship of the great obser-
Vatory was accepted.
Prof. Larkin was a member of most
OF the scientific societies of the
world and was a frequent contributor
TO their literature. Among his books

DRAGONS LOSE FIRST GAME
OF THE SEASON TO STERLING,

The Dragon basketeers clashed
with the Sterling Tigers on Friday.
January 18th, on the Sterling floor.
The game opened but not with the
snap to it that the Dragons usually
apply. The Sterling aggregation
gained lead in the beginning of the
game and was able to maintain it
throughout the entire game. The Dra-
gons however. were handicapped as
the first string was broken into, isav-
ing mixed team. which consisted of
partly second team men. due to tlle
fact that one or two of the first string
men were ineligible to play on account
of not being up to the standard in
the course of study as is required in
conference basketball.
The Dragons. however, were able
to locate the hoop now and then and
succeeded in piling up seventeen
points, and holding Sterling down to
considerable low score of tw .nty-
four. which proved victorious for tbs
Sterling players.
The Sterling team showed brand
of high class basketball and have
been winning considerable games -
far this season. winning all their
contests with the exception OF one.
that being with Ft. Morgan. Sterling
has won all the conference games
they have played this season.
The Dragons have played 13 games
this season and have lost only one
out OF the 10 and await the chance TO
clash with the Sterling team on Their
own floor to hand-out to them the
brand OF basket ball they have been
producing this year.
