 MINORITY LEADER
Ohio Governor Mill Face (. O.P.
 Legislature

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. IA LF - Vic Donahey, only Ohio governor to be elected for three successive terms begins his fifth year as chief execu- tive in the same situation as during his two preceding terms.
 He will be the single representa- tive of the democratic party holding q major state elective office. He also will have a state legislature which is preponderantly republican.
 Donahey's political success so far as his own personal campaigns are concerned has been marked. He has overcome republican majorities re- peatedly. But he has never carried his party ticket along with him.
 Disagreed Over Legislation
 Open disagreement between the chief executiv and legislative leaders and refusal of the state senate to confirm the Donahey appointments. during the past two sessions of the general assembly resulted In the es- tablishment of what is thought to be an 'all-time" veto record During the legislative session of four years ago Donahey disapproved 76 bills.

 Peking, United Press) .-Decision of the Canton Nationalist Governs ment to shift it's capital to Wuchang, in the heart of mid-China on the Yangtze river, is construed by many here as the beginning of the end of Peking's ancient supremacy.
 Picking has great name, and lit- tie. more. Its imperial yellow-tiled Forbidden City, it's imposing temples. are symbles of time gone by; Wu- chang, unimpressive, but centrally located i2 the midst of China's com- merce. is token of the coming in- dustrial age in China.
 There is small doubt in the mind of any intelligent foreign observer here that, whether the Canton cause rises or falls in the next few months, the fundamental ideas of Chinese nationalism and of the domination of commerce over politics are bound in the long run to prevail. Chang Tso- lin and all the other 'warlords" are in essence but relics of medievalism which persists in China only as an anachronism which carries within it. self the seeds of it's own doom, it is argued. By their very unwillingness to face any facts other than their own selfishness these leaders cannot but fall in line In time, observers say.

LEADERSHIP.

One of the greatest needs of the today
is leadership. BY leadership, we mean men and
women who not only have passed through some
credtabe institution of learning, but because
Of that fact they possess a degree of intelligence
above that of their ordinary fellows. Because
Of these superior advantages which they have

up to that point where men call them men and
women of ability to lead others in direction of

wont to go.
Indeed it is too much to suppose one Is a
leader Of men because he may have had superior
school advantages; for if you please, I have not
been able to find in all the world a school famed
for giving brain to the brainless. If such an In
stitution could be found, more than half of the
world would present themselves for matricula-

school men and women into believing that they
are leaders. Such call to leadership be
easily traced back to some school of college.
The call to leadership is deeper more spir-

hundreds and thousands who hang on to their
