commonwealth. After acceptance OF the
latter the conservative elements Of Phil
ippine political life buried the Ratchet
and formed a coalition with Quezon as
their presidential candidate and Senator
Sergio Osmena his running mate. Their
only opposition came from the more
radical leaders, Gen. Aguinaldo and
Bishop Aglipay, who have held out for
immediate and unqualified independence.
The election of President Quezon marks
a personal triumph for a man who has
devoted practically his entire life to the
cause Of Philippine independence. He
was one Of Aguinaldos lieutenants in
the so-called Philippine revolution; in
1912 he served in Washington as resident
commissioner and during that time
worked successfully for passage of the
Jones law, marking one of the most I'M
portant steps toward independence, and
since 1917 he has been president of the
Philippine Senate. Recognized for many
years as the Spearhead of the indie
pendence movement, he was undoubtedly
the logical choice as the Philippine
leader who for the next six years, at
least, must handle the complex problems
attending the launching of new nation.
Among the best friends and well-wish-
ers Of the Philippine people are those
who remain Skeptical OF their ability to
assume the burdens and responsibilities
of independence within the time and
under the conditions imposed by the
McDuffie- TydingS act. When emotional
ism has given way before the hard reali-
ties of independence a clear head and a
steady hand will be in need. President
Quezon's gifts as leader are yet to
face their strongest test.

Most Constitution day oratory, both
Of the partisan variety sponsored by
Republican organizations, as well as that
which was heard under non political
auspices, had an unmistakable anti-New
Deal tinge. Speakers as rule refrained
from sailing into President Roosevelt by
name, but there was ample indication
that the administration is under far
flung fire on the issue of tampering with
the Constitution and that 1886 will
reverberate with discussion of the sub
ject. Long before then some authorities
expect Mr.. Roosevelt to take the wind
out of opposition sails by a denial of
any intention to seek changes in Uncle

Col. Edwin P. Thayer of Indiana. for

ate, has submitted to Works Progress
Administrator Hopkins a project to take
10000 men Immediately of the relief
rolls and employ them on a national
mineral survey" Beginning with the
gold and silver fields of California and
Oregon, the survey would eventually ex-
tend to other Western States and Alaska.
Col. Thayer believes that not only many
unknown veins and mineral deposits
of value would be brought to light, but
that important ore producing bodies, not
alone of precious or common metals, but
of rare metals and non metallics, would
be discovered. Mr.. Hopkins was informed
that at the cost of a relatively few mil
lion dollars many thousands of men now
on relief could be transferred to useful,
healthful and steady work in exploration
of our mineral domain on scale never
before attempted. Since he left the Cap
itol, in 1888, Col. Thayer has been in the
mining business at Los Angeles.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

If the fool girl had looked at him, he
flattered himself, she would not have
thought he was speaking out Of school
She would have followed his pointing
finger, seen the oncoming car, and
stepped back.
But no, she chose to put on the high
and-lofty, and as a result came near to
getting run down-and 1t would have
served her right.
The man who put rs cents in the box
when 20 would do, paid the price Of I'M
friendlinesS, but not often is the pay
ment made SO pointedly.
Had he unbent even little, some one
or other, with a kindly disposition,
would have told him the correct fare.
Maybe the driver should?
Well, drivers have many things on
their minds. and perhaps are forbidden
to give change, in such situation, after
the fare is in the box.
Maybe they have some form of traffic
filters, too. hence find it necessary to
put as much Of their attention on the
road as possible.
IL passenger wants to pay more than
the fare, that is entirely his lookout.

himself, We'll, here comes that old boy
who thinks the fare is still quarter.
Heb! He'll"
What lesson can we learn from this?
Yes, let us insist on lesson.
There is just as much need for "les-
sons" from things and happenings today
as ever in the history of the world.
Maybe more, it is up to you to say.
The sure thing is that William Cullen
Bryant and the rest of the Nature poets
did not exhaust the possibilities of
wrestling lessons from what they saw
and heard.
Nor did ordinary human beings. who
may or may not be poetic, in thought or
word, dispense with the necessity for
lessons from things, sermons from brooks
and stones.
If We see something. in the daily life,
and 1t makes an impression on us, even
very small one, the lesson Is there,
whether we admit 1t or not.
1t may be a very small lesson, a sort
OF unconscious one, which, nevertheless,
bores into the mind in an unforgettable
way.
II we see a person nearly run over
through his own careleSsness We make a
mental resolve. whether we realize it or
not, to refrain from committing the
same error.
The wise man-and he need be no
scholar nor highbrow, but just an ordi-
nary humans helped thus by every
thing he sees and hears.
His profit may not seem to be large
at times. but it is twofold, one in inter-
est in all that goes on. and the other
in real benefit to him, If, by seeing
others in danger he is able to avoid
like dangers to himself.
Our lesson, then, is this: Be as kind
as you can, to your fellow man. because
he might be wanting to help you, if
you would give him a chance.
Keeping ones nose stuck up in the
air is all right. under certain circum-
stances, but it is sort of tough on the
neck muscles, after a time.
And ordinarily it keeps you from see
ing the CLINT of humanity in the other
fellows eye. or even the CLEAN of devil
try there. for that matter. 1t is a good
thing to know, instead Of guess.

Trafic filters. that terrible new dis
ease which aflicts both motorists and
pedestrians. probably was to blame
for it.
The bright young lady refused to
heed the warning of the kindly gentle
man.
There is a car coming around the
corner" he said.
They were standing in the center Of
E. at the corner Of Eleventh street,
where street car comes around the
bend about once an hour.
So no one could blame the girl, per-
haps. for not realizing her danger.
When the warning voice impinged
upon her ear, however, she should have
paid some attention to it.
Instead, she stuck her fool head up in
the air, and stood still on the track
"All right" resumed the voice of her
would-be benefactor. get run over.
then"
And she almost did.
~
II she had. maybe it would have
served her right. for being so uppity.
She was one Of the thousands Of per-
sons who do not seem to be at home in
their city.
She was unable, evidently, to dis
criminate between friend and foe.
Those who sought to help her, in the
ordinary walks of life, she treated as II
they were persons who were seeking to
injure herr
Probably she was perfectly sincere in
this.
She simply was unable to tell the diff
ference. and SO adopted, as a sort Of
protective device, the pose generally
dropped by women a decade or SO ago,
of How dare you speak to me, sir?"
n n
We like to see woman who can hold
her head up in the world and be able
to tell the difference between man and
man.
But women aren't the only persons
who find certain immobility Of feature in
public the best defense where none is
necessary.
There are an amazing number Of men
who act the same way, with even more
absurd results.
Consider the gentleman who is drop
ping quarter in the fare box of a
local bus every time he takes a ride.
The fare is only 20 cents. cash, or
tickets for rs cents, but the gentleman
doesn't know that
The rate used to be Is cents. straight
several years ago. but has been lower for
many months.
Evidently the man doesn't know 1t,
however.
Men, and women, too. seeing him drop
in quarter, have thought to tell him
about it.
But his demeanor is so aloof. his atti-
tude is so uncompromising. that no kind
soul has got up the courage yet.
Surely every one ought to be able to
talk straight out, when the occasion de-
mandS. but surely 1t often is very diff
flcult thing.
After the man who had tried to tell
the girl street car was coming around
the bend had received a perfect cold
shoulder for his kind intentions. no one
could blame him for freezing up in his
turn.
The next woman he met. he vowed to
himself, could get run over, for all of
him.

First President.

Manuel Quezon's election as the first
President of the new Philippine Com

long before the Filipinos went to the
polls. His election was construed as

by Congress over the veto OF President

Peace or War?

News from Europe and Africa is
confusing medley of diplomatic bluff,
peace hopes and Warlike moves. The
League of Nations Cancellation Commit

the 1talo-Ethiopian controversy. The
italian delegation intimateS that il the
suggestions are found reasonable" nego-

weeks declaration by MuSSolini that no

Though details of the Cancellation plan
are unknown and its acceptability to
either Italy or Ethiopia is more than
problematical, Geneva in these days is
in mood to grasp at the drowning
mans straw and trusts to the last that
the elusive goal Of peace may yet be at
tainable.
More or less authentic indications
point to the offer of an Italian protec-
torate over Ethiopia as the proposition
that will be put before MuSsolini to in
duce him to refrain from war. The pro-
posal is likened to the Morocco settle

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
No CrY.Rahy


The Knockout shouldn't have made
him weep.
No longer a kid. A tempered man.
The blow?-nothing to rob him of sleep.
He had his true friends-a jolly clan;
Nor was he growing maudlin, or old.
Long years had he laughed at life
and weather,
surmounted rough cracks that left him
cold,
Swallowed the good and bad together.
Why was he taking this so to heart?
No more sand than a sensitive boy!
A man, seasoned. accredited smart,
Blinking as if he had lost toy
Hot tears. What irony to blubber!
Nobody held the earth in his palm
Good Lordl A heart could snap like
rubber
Big, husky sobs-head fiat in his arm.
Queer, how some knock that he might
pass by
May make a strong man break down.

Campbell to Quit

BIuebird Through - Unless

By United Press
LONDON, Sept. 26.-Sir Malcolm
Campbell, who recently piloted his
racing car Bluebird to a worlds rec
ord of a trif1e over 300 miles an
hour over Utah salt beds, was
through today with the dangerous
sport in which he has so often risked
his life-unless some foreign driver
eclipses his mark.
Il promised my wife," he told
guests at banquet at which ne was
guest of honor, that if 1 reached
300 miles an hour I would give up
once for all, and am going TO give
it up.
However, there's one proviso: If
in the near future foreign country
breaks the record, there's enough
left in the Bluebird to try and get
it back"
