Prophets Wrong

A Ii the wise political prophets who saw in the

chance for Albert ]. Beveridge to sit again in the
United States Senate senator from Indiana are set at
naught.
Almost before Senator Ralston was in his grave the
prophets predicted that the Republican governor would
appoint Beyerdge, whose eloquent voice. they sad was
needed in the Senate by President Coolidge They gave
multitudinous why Beverage was the only man
who could fill the vacant seat and it was known that
Beveridge defeated by Raston in 1922 was more than
willing to get back.
Nevertheless, Governor Jackson appointed Arthur

Mans Only Equality
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

he invests his money: his character
on how he invests his time.
The wisest of all investments =
that Of time spent in self-improve-
ment.
Gladstone, the great prime min
lister Of England, advised:
"Time invested in training the
mind and voice brings greater re-
wards than any other investment"
Most things in life may be bought
with currency of time.
Within reasonable limits every
gift of character has its price.
If you are willing to devote time
enough to practice you can learn
to play a musical instrument, make
a presentable speech in public, have
a neat appearance and become the
possessor of many other attributes.
Your work requires a certain
number Of hours. but your leisure
Is yours TO invest as you will.
"Time changes all things" says
a proverb Of the East.
By wise expenditure of your one
equality you may become equal In
other respects to those who now are
superior.

LIES Hurdle
By L. E. Bisch

In this modern age Of wonders
we have not only labor-saving de-
vices but thought-saving contrivances
as well. Certain schools give courses
of instruction in a boiled-down,
more or less summary fashion.
Where there is an earthquake or
any unusual happening confronts
the world, newspapers aren't slow
in giving all the data necessary
even scientific-that is essential in
grasping the situation and under
standing it in its entirety.
Radio has put the finishing touch
on all the thought-saving devices
thus far.
It's so easy 10 turn a knob, sit
back comfortably to rest, and hear
the best Of everything with plenty
Of explanation to make it intellig-
iblc.
We are fast becoming mentally
lazy.
What's the good Of troubling to 20
to school and college when every
thing is handed out so neatly and
compactly when needed?
What's the use Of wasting the
time and clogging our brains with
information that may never be
needed or used?
On the surface such arguments
sound logical and convincing.
But are they really so?
Education doesn't mean mere
accumulation Of facts-it means
mental training.
And no individual living can get
too much Of that most valuable ex-
ercise.
Thought-saving devices are not,
therefore. a menace Of and by
themselves.
Only do they become a menace
IL we are misled and mistake them
for what they are not.
II we realize that all modern in
ventions that save us mental trouble
are TO be used for enjoyment pur-
poses. then We will not 90 far
afield.
But IL we are led to believe that
they can supplant mental exercise
and the use OF intelligence. then
they become bane TO civilization.
Science has advanced further in
the last hundred years than ever
before.
Science also will continue to ad-
vance. will continue to contribute
added comforts TO humanity.
But il science cuts down our
thinking then it will defeat its own
purpose.
The purpose Of science is TO bene'
fit mankind.
But IL we cut down on thinking
mankind will not long progressl
