DON'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

wants first place and thinks it is
due one. And many a man has
thwarted his life's ambition by re-
fusing to take second place.
l am thinking of Daniel Web
ster VINO yearned to be president
of the United States but rejected
the vice presidency. Yet, if he
had accepted the vice presidency,
he would have been president in
one month through the death Of
President Harrison.
Many men have won the place
they coveted by accepting sc :ond
place. If Theodore Roosevelt had
not been willing to accept the
vice presidency of the United
States, against his inclinations, he
probably would never have been
president.
Coming down to that mundane
sphere in which most Of us dwell,
i knew a young chronological ex-
pert who was competing for the
position of city engineer. He was
rejected and offered the almost
insulting sop of a clerkship in the
office of his successful rival. He
swallowed his pride and took it.
In three months the city engi-
neer resigned to accept flatter-
ing offer elsewhere and our friend
succeeded him. We would never
have done so had he not accepted
a humber place first.
More often than otherwise, we
are not ready for first place when
we think we are. We may have
an exaggerated opinion of our
ability with which the rest of the
woodland perhaps the unseen
powers-may not agree. Prob
ably no man was ever elected to
a high position, but what fifty per
cent of the people in the same
organization felt themselves bet
ter qualified to fill it than he.
If We can not get first place,
we had better accept second place
land be glad that we are even in
sight of first place. When the
time is ripe for us, and we are
iripe for the time, we shall be
given first place. 4 "

Senator John Sprunt HILL who is personally dry

will be many who will say that this is the wrong
thing to do, but we have come to the conclusion
that the time is certainly here when church must

Russell, the co-announcer OF the
theory of evolution. with Charles
Darwin, written to me a few
months before his death at the
great age of ninety years, exhib-
ting the sort of noble interest in
a young man in a distant land
which sprang from the Christian
spirit which he exemplified all his
life; and he spent the last third
of his life as a stout protagonist
of spiritual values, and a battler
for social progress in England
with as much zeal and intelligent
vision as he used to discover the
laws of God. No indeed; evolu-
ton, rightly understood, does not
teach any decline to Christianity;
it bows reverently at the sight Of
the work of a creator who could
make Jesus Of Nazareth out Of
the common dust Of mother earth.

ABERDEEN, Wash, December IT.
Charles Bushnell'S big experimental
rocket exploded last night after 100
foot flight and rained back in pieces
on a field near here.
The short-lived ascension of the IL
foot rocket, supposedly able to carry a
human passenger, climaxed Bushneli's
three-hour attempt to ignite the first
of the projectile's 100 powder charges,
designed to fire successfully.
Bushnell had planned it for a 1000
foot flight.
He was crestfallen at the sorry end
of his $100 worth of powder and long
months of work. He was undecided
whether to build a new rocket.
Members of the Washington Expert
ment Association, which constructed
the device, had said one Of them might
risk his life to go aloft in it if prelim-
mary tests proved successful.

Mr.. Noyes warned of heavy fu-

tion's work.
Saving for Taxpayers.
every dollar spent now in this
preventive work will save $40 of the
taxpayers money in the immediate
present as well as in the dangerous
future. 1t costs far less to set a

added:
THE National Probation Associa-

thousands Of individual young lives,
but save the country, the State, the

Since American occupation ST.
500 900 has been spent on improve

velopment of Philippine shipping has
been aided by legislation requiring
that interisland commerce be borne

In addition to railroad service on

have been constructed throughout the
islands. Mai. Gen. Parker, command
ing the American troops, is an avia-

ican Air Corps has assisted in paving
the way for commercial lines.
| The first Americans in the Philip
pines found a foreign trade of less
than $50,000,000 year, with imports
exceeding exports, with the country
almost wholly agricultural and with
practically no industrial development

have been brought under control, pan-

operated hospitals established with
proper institutions for the care OF the
insane doubled. Public health nurses
and travelling clinics now reach the
most isolated villages and mountain
provinces.
Accounting System Strict.
These are some of the advances
made under American control, and
one of the important elements of that
control has been the strict budgeting
and accounting system set up under
American auditors, responsible only
to the Governor General. With all due
credit to the Filipinos. it is matter
of pride among American officials that
the Philippine Islands begin the first
year Of the commonwealth with a
balanced budget in which the income
exceeds the expenditures and with
such government-owned corporations
as the Manila Hotel-before its cap
ture by the hungry American con-
gresSional and newspaper delegations
to the inauguration-and the Philip
pine National Bank making money
and piling up surpluses. Benefit pay

and the receipt of about $4,000, 900
from excise taxes on coconut oil i'm
posed by the United States have fur
