THE GREATEST TRIBUTE

A few minutes later Jesus re-
turned to the garden to find the
disciples sleeping. Even SO short a
vigil had proved too heavy for
their feebleness. In the hour of
his greatest need there was no help
for them. Again he went away,
his spirit torn with agony. He
was young, thirty-three; he did not
want to die. He cried out loud to
God that the cup might pass from
his lips; that he might have time
to sweep away the charges of bias
phemy and evil which his enemies
had heaped upon him. So he pray
cd, and coming back, found them
again asleep.
This time he did not disturb
them. The high tide Of his revolt
had subsidized: the courage which
had never deserted him throughout
the three years cleared his. soul,
steadied his muscles.
EFF it. be not thy will this sup
pass from me-" he prayed again,
then, Father, thy will be done"
. 1t was the victory chant after
the battle. With the calm peace
of the conqueror he could make
ready for the end. He had not
long to wait. The soldiers were
already at the entrance of the gar
den. He waited until the armed
men stumbled into his presence
and then rising, stood before them.
whom seek ye?' he demanded.
Startled, awed, they could only
humble his name.
~;Jesus of Nazareth"
81 am he," he answered proudly.

Note Sent
Greece on insult
United States Declares Intention
To Cine Up Treaty.

Washington-In n of the stern
est notes it has dispatched to a
foreign power in many years, the
state department has informed
Greece hat it considered the refus-
al of Greek courts to surrender
Samuel insult, ST., to American
justice as utterly untenable.'
For that reason, the United
declared its intention to end
the Graeco-American extradition
treaty eat the earliest date possible
under its pertinent provisions"
The note was delivered to the
Greek ministry of foreign affairs
through Minister Lincoln Mac
Veagh in Athens.
The Greek supreme court recent
ly refused, for the second time, T.
permit American authorities to take
insult to Chicago for trial. Illinois
courts have preferred charges of
embezzlement against the former
ruler of a vast midwestern utilities
empire.
Never in recent years could
diplomats recall a note so scath-
ing in tone as that sent to Greece
today. MacVeagh was instructed
to tell the Greek foreign office:
MY government finds it difficult
to reconcile this unusual decision
Tin the insult CASEY with the ad-
mission of the competent authori-
ties that the fugitive committed
the acts with which he was charg.
ed and that these acts are illega
and fraudulent both in the Unitee
States and Greece"

SERVICE-NOT BRASS BANDS

The railroad industry is no,
spectacular. 1t doesn't go in fol-
brass bands and Haunted banners
# And that may be a reason why the
public, as a whole, has small reali-
~zation of how much has been done
in recent years to build up the
railroad system of this country tc
where it offers the traveller and
shipper unexcelled and perhaps I'M
equaled service.
Since 1882 the roads have spent
100 100000 900 for: improvements
and additions. Before any actual
purchases were made, millions were
spent in elaborate. and extensive
tests to probe the soundness or fall
lacy of proposed plans. Recently,
for exampledfan appropriation of
100000 vas made for a study
of a~ir-breaking systems with a view
to possible further improvement.
Plans are now on foot for develop
ing, welded, instead of riveted tank
cars, faster and more comfortable
passenger coaches, and so on.
The general public-which, in
spite of all that is said to the. con-
trary, still looks on the railroads as
the preeminent transporter of per-
sons and Observation-Disclosures
from all this. The railroads have
never lost the pioneering spirit that,
comparatively few years ago, made
possible the Joining of the two
great oceans with shining rails.
And. lookingtat railroad advance
ment from aAother side, it puts
millions inte 4he packets-of work
ers in a thouland industries:
The American people Gan b.
proud Of the RAILROADS that serve
them. That they r proud, il
evidenced in the overwhelming
public sentiment in favor of 4.

which has been brought close tt

GOVERNMENT CHIsELING

In a timely editorial, the New
York Sun analyses the plans of the
Tennessee Valley Authority to re-
duce the electric bills of its custo-
: mers from 20 to. 50 per cent below
the present average, in the light of
the stand Of another and more i'm
portant branch of government
: the-NRA.
: 1t is the MIRA policy-and one
which has received the overwhelm-
ing endorsement of American citi-
zens-to adjust costs and arrange
business methods so that the great
est possible number of persons may
be employed at the highest possible
wage. That is the reason for the
elimination of cut-throat compe-
ntion-the main idea behind every
code.
Government competition with
private electric plants, with its low
financing charges, different book
keeping methods and freedom from
taxation, a produce but. one re-
suit-it will throw thousands of
men out of work who are now en-
ployed by private utilities. And,
this, the Sun observes, is the kind of
offense to which the always frank
General johnson has applied the

LEGISLATORS FACE TROUBLE

Heaven help members of the 1888 Cali
fornia legislature if they are called into
special session this fall by the governor.
They may have to face another tussle
with the budget, listen to objections to
the sales tax, tangle with the governor
and experience some other veXatious mo-
ments, but these matters are Just piker
stuff compared to what may happen to
them as result Of legislation they passed
earlier in the year.
Even the idea of having no paw Tex
cept of course for assemblymen) need
give them little or no concern, compared
with the possible aftermath of their
earlier indiscretion.
In a rash moment the legislators
passed what seemed like an innocent bit
of legislation, prohibiting the wearing of
insignia of any organization unless one
actually belonged to it.
Its purpose was TO prevent Knights of
the Brass Gobboon being imposed upon
by supposed 'brothers,' wearing the or
der's insignia, when in reality they were
not knights at all, but probably belonged
to the rival order, knights Of the Cop
per Gobboon.
Perhaps it will accomplish that, but
it has had another effect, and that is
where the legislators put their necks in
a moose.
From away back, in college circles, the
rules of romance have decreed that when
a college man feels that way" about
girl, instead of dashing off to the jewel
ers to buy an engagement ring, he mere
ly gave her his frat pin to wear The
meaning was the same as though he had
purchased As calibre diamond. 1t was
a good custom. The college man, prob
ably getting along on meager allow
ance, saved money by it. and there was
considerable rivalry among the girls as
to whether Kappa Kappa or Pi Cry had
the better looking pin.
Now, thanks to the legislators, any CO.
ed wearing frat pin is liable to ar
rest, fine, Imprisonment and possibly
boiling in oil Campus romance has been
hit foul wallop. And are the goods up
in arms? They are. That is why we say
heaven help the legislators. If flock
of goods swarms round the capital we
wouldn't give couple of rusty pins tor
the life of a legislator.
Will the law be obeyed? 1t may be
by mere man-but the cop hasn't yet
been born who would dare go up and ar
rest coed for wearing frat pin. Nor
any two cops either.
Viewed in this light the law IS a dead

away after having done the clam a
kindness. out of the bushes little
way back from the beach crept
the Fox and the Bob Cat. The two
Bad Chaps had come to the shore
to catch Uncle Wiggily. But he
fooled them once by tricking them
into his cold hole and when they
were frozen stiff the Fox and Bob
Cat were tossed into the ocean. But
there they thawed out and now,
once more, they were on the rab-
bits trail.
"There's a chap who can help
u.s. whispered the Bob Cat.
You mean that CLAMP" asked
the Fox.
Yes. lets go ask him to help us
catch Uncle Wiggily. That rabbit
has been here saw his paw marks
on the sand. With the help OF this
Clam we'll catch him.
So the two Bad Chaps waltzed
over to the Clam, who was SUM-
ming himself and the Fox said:
will you help US catch Uncle
Wiggily?"
bHoW?" asked the Clam, pre-
tending he was no friend to the
rabbit.
why, this way" said the Bob
Cat. "The next time that rabbit
comes here ask him to stick his
tail between your shells. Then close
your shells and hold him tight un-
til we get here. viii you do it?"
Let me see if I understand" said
the Clam. Suppose you two put
your tails in my open shell so 1 can
practice and know how to catch
Uncle Wiggily. Stick in your tails. .
But don't pinch us!" said the
Fox.
The Clam said nothing. But he
knew this was his chance OF do
ing Uncle Wiggily favor. So no
sooner had the Fox and Bob Cat
stuck their tails between his shells
than the Clam closed down on the
tails and pinched them so hard
that they howled and yowled and
scowled. Then the Clam opened his
shell and let them go, saying:
you'll never get me to help you
catch Uncle Wiggily. He and I are
good friends. He helped me and I
helped him! Scat" So the Fox and
the Bob Cat seated away and all
was peace and quiet at the sea-
shore.
And if the clothes horse will run
down cellar and give the coal bin
a ride around the wash tubs, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily's
seaweed tent.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CLAM

Once upon a time there was 4
Clam. He was a big Clam, as large
as a dinner plate and he lived in
hard shell house in the ocean not
far from the sea beach, where Un-
Gle Wiggily and his family were
living in a shack made of old gro
Gerry boxes.
The shell of the Clam, which was
his house, was in two parts and
could beo pened and closed like a
Goor. And when the two parts Of
the shell were closed they could
pinch very hard if anything got
between them. Once he had closed
his shell. the Clam lived very coz
lily inside until he was ready to
open his door again.
The Clam lived down on the
sandy floor of the ocean, but once
in while he allowed himself to be
washed up on the sandy beach in
a storm and there he would stay,

TO THE NEAR HEROES

Probably before this gets into print
the issue will be decided-which of Ber-
] keleys two HelenS is to be queen of the
tennis courts
For the eighth time Helen Jacobs to-
day faces Helen Wills Moody fdr the
highest honors in women'S tennis. On
each of the previous occasions Miss ia
cobs has been beaten and beaten soundly,
yet she steps out on the courts today to
try once more.
She is counterpart to the famous
Little Bill Johnston, who used to play
the same role for Big Bill Tilden, that
Miss Jacobs does for Mrs Moody. Time
and again Little Bill" went into the
semi-finals, and every time he was
trounced by Big Bill"
Win or lose today our hato is off to
Miss Jacobs. She is typical of many who
Just fall short of the heights, yet keep on
trying and refuse to be discouraged. Not
all can be stars, but all can at least try
though many don't.
The heroes get the acclaim but the
vanqushed are just also rams" There
would be no heroes in tennis, in football,
or in the ordinary walks of life if there
were not some to try against them and
make their success possible by their own
defeat.
In paying tribute to Miss Jacobs we
see in her the personification of others
who have tried but have not Won - the
subs on the gridiron, the preliminary
boys of the boxing circle, and the ordi-
nary, everyday fellow, who plugs along
at his job doing the best he can and get
ting no crown or laurel for it.
