MANY VACANCIES
At THE TOP.

Young men and women starting out
Tor themselves often are appalled, at the
thought of making a place for them
selves IN this nation of 80 millions of
people. 1t would appear that there is too
much competition, too many others who
may be more successful or better fitted
for reaching up and plucking the laurels
of life. 1t is worth while that such
younger folks should consider the many
important posts in all lines of endeavOr
which are left vacant each year, well
knowing that there will be others cap
able of filling the niche. Especially is
this true in America where so many
successful people come from the rank
and file A bit of contemplation should
show any one in doubt, that opportunity
is always reckoning and that if a person
is sufficiently interested and willing to
apply himself or herself to given tasks,
the possibilities for success are boun-
dless and unlimited. In this connection
il is interesting to note from a compila-
ton by the Selma Irregator few of the
outstanding Americans who have died
during the past year, thus leaving room
at the top for those who have been pa
tiently striving. Included in the list are:
Jane Adams founder of Hull House, Chicago.
George Pierce Baker, famous Harvard and Yale
literary professor.
Sophie Braslau, operate contralto.
DR.. James H. Breasted, Psychologist.
Richard Washburn Child, former American am
bassador to Italy.
Senator Bronson M. Cutting of New Mexico.
Edward l. Doheny. oil discoverer and promoter.
Maj-Gen. Adalphus Greeley
Oliver Wendell Holmes, retired associate justice
of the United States Supreme Court.
De Wolf Hopper, Musical comedy star.
Senator Huey Pierce Long, Of Louisiana.
Adolph S Ochs, publisher of the New York
Times and other papers.
Fremont Older, editor, the San Francisco Call
Bulletin and famous figure in California
journalism.
viii Rogers, humorist and motion picture star.
John Barton Payne Secretary of the Interior,
and Red Cross chairman.
Wiley Post, American aviator.
DR.. Michael Pupin, famous inventor physicist
and professor.
Edwin Arlington Robinson, poet.
Thomas Davis Schall, blind senator from Min
neSota.
Rev william A Billy Sunday, evangelist
Dean Walter Williams, pioneer in journalism
instruction.
More careful perusal of the 1885
records would doubtless reveal many
more famous names. Each indicates a
success and a vacancy and constitutes
an example of opportunity for ALL In
each state and city and town are addi-
tional names of prominent people who
have died, leaving the door to opportu-
nifty aiar for the first and most deserv-
ing persons. Year after year, this cycle
continues, and year after year the youth
of yesterday become the leaders of to-
day.

DOG
FEARED DEAD

ICKESBURG, Pa, Feb. 8. UP)
Farmers who have worked for
three weeks to release Dan, the
best fox terrier in Perry county,
from a deep rock crevice, feared
today he may have frozen to
death.
Those who trudged through
deep snow to the crevice in the
Tuscadora mountains three miles
from here said they could not tell
whether Dan was alive. He could
not be seen, and no sound came
from the crevice.
Dan chased a fox into the crew
ice while hunting on Jan. II. 1t
took a 12-foot jump to get back
out and Dan couldn't make it.

What happens when one law con-
ficts with another?
Under our Constitution there can
be no conflict between Congress and
the Courts, but only between differ
ent laws. The conflict arises because
our system of government provides
for laws OF four different degrees OF
authority as follows.
/ The Federal Constitution (the
supreme law:
II Federal Laws passed by Con-
gress:
III State Constitutions;
~ State Statutes passed by state
legislatures.
State laws (III or Iv) are inferior
to Federal laws Il or III and law
passed by Congress (ID is inferior
to the Constitution ().
Obviously, citizen cannot obey
two laws that conflict with each
other, because II he obeys one he dis
obeys the other. Therefore the infe-
rior law necessarily must give way
to the superior law. In such cases,
I'VE the people" specify In our Con-
stitution that the Supreme Court
shall act for us and decide. But the
Court does not decide whether law
Is good or bad; 1t merely lays the
inferior Law alongside the Constitu-
tion as the supreme law and decides
