Guards the Future


Continuing, Doctor Burton said, In
part:
AT times he must oppose what ap-
pears to some as an unqualified good,
because he recognizes its temporary
Dement'S and sees in the distant future
that 1t must work an evil to society.
Through all such experiences he walks
with the spirit of human understand
Ing. He knows that time will heal
the hurt. His sense of time explains
the thoroughness of his work and his
intolerance for superficiality He must
have the facts as first hand and will
not base decisions on a partial knowl-
edge OF the situation. He will not be
hurried. He avoids extremes and loves
proportion. Life does not consist of
detached unrelated events It Is
unity welded together by the alchemy
Of time. He knows how to wait and
aot Dc. tired by waiting. When he
acts you KNOW he will not be impetu-
Gus, because he takes time to think to
the soul of things. Democracy, in her
careless laundering confidence. is in
dire need of such leadership.
Here, then, Is the man. He follows
right and truth TO their logical conclu-
sions.' He gathered 1t all up in an adj
dress he delivered year ago at col
lege commencement He said, We do
not need more national development. we
need more spiritual development. We
do not need more intellectual power,

st. Joseph, Mich. The venerable gen
tleman was led to the front and the
cheering host arose to greet him, and
listened with respect to his brief re-
Spouse.
That Congressman Burton in his
keynote speech accomplished with great
skill a difficult task was admitted by
all. He could not entirely overlook
the breach that has existed between
the administration and congress, nor
could he be too emphatic in placing
the blame for it. But he recognized
the change that was coming over the
party management and gave the Presi-
dent full measure of praise. At the
same time he said little that could Of
fend the most sensitive Of those Re-
publican members of congress who
have been in opposition to the admin
STATIONS policies.
Nominating Coolidge
An easier task and no less admir-
ably performed was that which fell to
the lot of the other DIFFERENTIATION
Leroy, president Of the University of
Michigan. AS his friend of many
years standing he was chosen by Mr.
Coolidge to make the nominating
speech on Thursday, and no more elo-
quent and sincere speech has been
heard In q national convention. 1t was
not fiowery nor was it political. 1t was
a sympathetic setting forth of the
qualities Of Mr.. Coolidge as the speaker
conceived them, heartfelt tribute to
his character, his stern uprightness and
honesty, his unfaltering courage and
his capacity for the leadership of his
party and his country. "My function
is to present the man." said DR.. Bur-
ton. "The emphasis must be just
there. MY primary task does not con-
Germ politics nor platforms as such.
Anyone will tell you he Is one of us
and he Is. In keeping with his real
qualities shall make no effort to
exalt him TOR he does not need 1t.
He Is not a superman and would be the
last to think so. There is not a trace
Of show or ostentation about him for
he does nothing merely for appearance.
He may be an example but he would
never set one."
A little later DR.. Burton said: "He
has moral fibre. To me 1t Is his dis
tinguisting characteristic. There is a
moral grandeur about him which does
credit TO American life. You simply
cannot think of him as soft or fiabby.
He aims actually to do what he knows
he ought to do" And again: 'Tn the
largest sense of the term he, Is a pa
tent man. He knows that time will
do its perfect work. He instinctively
takes the long look. He makes calm.
unhurried, steady approach to the tasks
Of life. No one can throw him into a
panic, for he sees steadily and sees II
as whole. He cannot please every
one. Therefore some, for the time, be-
come hostile and critical. This man,
in very remarkable way, takes his
punishment quietly and silently"

LegiOnaires to Form
Glee Club at Meeting
This Monday Eve.

An organization will be effected
at the regular meeting of the James
Fitzgerald Post. American Legion,
this evening. of the glee club, which
will be directed by Col. Keith Ryan.
The local Legionaires are enthusi-
astic over the prospects of forming
a mems singing aggregation with
some 90 to 100 voices, with a posi-
bility of public appearances in the
future. Such a musical organization
will also provide an opportunity for
the members to get together socially
more often than the semi monthly
meetings of the post.
The entertainment committee has
arranged some special features for
the meeting at Legion hall this eve
ming and there will undoubtedly be a
particularly large attendance. The
membership of the James Fitzgerald
Post was increased nearly 100 during
the recent membership campaign
and many activities are being plan
ned for the spring and summer
months.
In connection with the glee club
organization, Commander George A.
j. Froberger announced last evening
that any veterans Of the World war,
whether members of the post or not.
were cordially invited to attend the
meeting and lend their support to the
project.

Parallel in Lives
Of Two Citizens
Who Died Recently

From time to time a highly re-
spected citizen of the community is
called to cross the Great Divide, and
his passing receives but casual at
tention from his fellow citizens. The
good that men do lives after them,
and it is only by the review of their
active lives in public and community
affairs that their true worth is in
any measure adequately guaged.
The following appreciation by an Au-
gusta citizen was sent in to this Of
fee under the caption, Their Lives
were Parallel:
1.-The passing of two Of our highly
respected citizens, Albert E. Hop
kins and George A. Prescott, is de-
cided loss to the community life of
Augusta.
Mr.. Hopkins was born in Eng
land and when a young man came to
our city where he was active in bust
ness in the firm of Brown and Hop
kinS.
He was a loyal supporter of our
schools and took a great interest in
the municipal affairs of our city.y4
mfr. Prescott was born in Augusta
where he has lived during his life
and has been a friend to everybody.
I'm many respects these two mems
lives were parallel. In their business
life they were honest to the cent
and both possessed the basic primer
pies of true manhood, thrift, caution,
courage, balance, a keen sense of
what is right, and consciousness of
the value of results obtained through
serious efforts.
"In 1903, Mr.. Prescott served in
the city council and later was street
commissioner for three years. On
retiring from that position he was
appointed superintendent Of burials
and served the city nine years with
his usual success.
I'm 1917 and 1918 Mr.. Hopkins was
elected to the board of aldermen and
gave efficient service as a member of
the committees of accounts and poor
department.
These two men lent an influence to
prevent legislative runaways, with
out, at the same time retarding pro-
per progress in the municipal af-
fairs of our city.
I'VE are safe in saying the under
lying element of success in their
was their unchanging faith in their
friends, in thier city and state, and
their mistaken faith in the churches
and n God.
Both were self sacrificing and be-
lieved that true living consists in
serving others. which is verified by
the service they gave in their homes
and in the community life.
They were open minded and well
coined new ideas, new thoughts and
truths from any source and were
willing to put aside beliefs of today
If a new light shines tomorrow.
ITO the close observer their lives
ran along the same lines, both en-
couraged right living and discour-
aged destructive emotions.
