You mean well, sister, but you haven't
digested your facts. In the first place, let
me meekly remind you that in the job Of
creating humanity we ladies aren't the
Whole Frm-we're only fifty per cent Of
the firm. / agree with you that the mother
pays heavier than does the father for the
baby's advent. A Human Being isn't
'created" when it's born-its just started.
And believe me, girl, the man who supports
the family and pays the bills deserves just
as much credit for the ultimate output as
does the woman who loves and serves the
family within the home.
Courage, patience, foresight ana low

As Candidate for the Presidency

Esecutiue in Wiison EuIOgy Monday.

The name of Edwin a. Alderman,
president of the University of Vir-

yesterday as a candidate for the
presidency by Representative Upshaw,
Democrat, Georgia.
Mr.. Alderman was recommended as

Mr.. Upshaw, referring to an address
delivered in the House Monday by
Mr.. Alderman at memorial services
for Woodrow Wilson, said it~was one
of the marvellous masterpieces" of

Continuing. Mr.. Upshaw said:

can continent a man who could max e
such speech-Such a masterful COM
pass of thought and language, elo-

heard in that wonderful memorial I'd

OF Congress declare with unmiX ed
and unrestrained enthusiasm that the
speech was the very greatest mes
sage, viewed from every angle of esti-
mate, that has been heard in this
historic chamber in this generation.
II the greatest in this generation,
then why not the greatest of all gem
erations since this Republic began its
mighty process of growing patriots
and building statesmanship of heroic
stature and gigantic mold?
And it was an honor of first mag
nitude-a premier victory of superb
isolation-for a private citizen to be
summoned to the mighty task.

J. S. PYEATT NAMED
D. & R. G. PRESIDENT
Gulf Coast Lines Head Takes
Post Under New Reorgani-
zation Scheme.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December Isl S.
Iyeatt, president of the New Orleans
Texas and Mexico Railway company,
whose acquisition by the Missouri
Pacific Railroad recently was ap-
proved, yesterday was elected presi-
dent of the reorganized Denver and
Rio Grande Western Railroad Com
pany.
The selection of Mr.. Pyeatt to head
the new Denver company follows the
successful conclusion of the negotia-
tions which brought the Gulf Coast
Lines under the control of the Mis-
uri-Pacific, which, with the West
ern Pacific, holds joint control of the
Denver and Rio Grande Western.
Mr.. Pyeatts rise in the railroad
world has been rapid. After serving
in various capacities with the Pere
Marquette and other companies he be-
came superintendent of the st. Louis
San Francisco system in 1910. Then
he was made vice president and general
manager of its Texas lines, including the
properties now constituting the Gull
Coast Line. He next assumed the presi-
dency.

truth, and that scfpter was waved by
such a master hand that I found my
self involuntarily coyeting such a
master man for the White House OF
my country! l kept saying in my
soul, Wry not make that man Presi-
dent of the United States?
Are we so bound by. the unwrit-
ten dictum of sectional bias that he
would have to move to New Jersey or
Massachusetts or Ohio in order to
place him on the eligible list? Sure
ly. if Washington and Jefferson, Madi
son and Monroe. Tyler and Wilson
rule US from their urns,' we should
rejoice to place this premier scholar
statesman where his princely powers
and alpine personality would stir the
pride of all American patriots re-
sardless of party lines"

BALTIMORE, Md, June 2.-Oysters
of the state have been seriously dam
aged by the heavy rains of last month.
due to swelling of the Chesapeake Bay
and it's tributaries with fresh water.
according TO Swepson Earle. state con-
servation commissioner. who has just
returned from an inspection trip OF
the oyster beds.
"Oysters in the upper bay" Mr..
Earle said, will be killed in great
quantities by this heavy irruption OF
fresh water. While / could not CAL
culate to a certainty how many oys-
ters are in the upper bay. it is safe
10 say that almost all of them will
be killed If deluged by the fresh
water.
This ostensibly is very bad. There
is one good feature about the situa-
tion. however. When AL these oysters
are killed they will, of course. be rem
dered unfit for sale. But they will re-
main in position and form excellent
Shell bottom for the catching of future
spat, and SO form an excellent habitat
for future oyster life. And this shell
bottom will remain in position perma-
