things lead in the way OF
Righteousness, in the midst of the
paths Of judgment: That l may
cause those that love me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their
treasures"
Passages from the Christian Sci
ence textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy state: Man
walks in the direction towards
which he looks, and where his
treasure is, there will his heart be
also. If our hopes and affections
are spiritual, they come from above,
not from beneath, and they bear
as of old the fruits of the Spirit. -
Things spiritual and eternal are

THE islands amount to a mar
velously equipped lookout post"
McNeece declared, "and even
though war with any foreign ma
tion in the Pacific appears remote,
nevertheless they are a vital part
of peacetime defenses."
Heavily Armed
McNeece offered a vivid picture
of the military base centered at
Diamond Head.
although the U. S. government
places a strict ban on all knowl-
edge of Diamond Head fortifica-
tions-even going SO far as to pro-
hibit taking and order gov
ernment planes as we'll as CONNER
cial ships to give it wide berth
it is common knowledge that the
monster promontory is honeycomb-
ed with tunnels and forts. Officers
from the barracks say the island of
Oahu (where Honolulu is locateO
could withstand any attack"
In emphasizing the military i'm
portance of the islands, McNeece
declared that with powerful bomb
ing planes operating out of the
Hawaii base CMcNeece pronounced
it correctly as though the W were
v, with accent on the last Syl-
lable) no enemy warships could
reach the U. S. coast ,unscathed.
Racially the islands are strange
mixture, McNeece said, with many
different strains mingled. Although
there appeared to be more Japa-
nese than any other race, Nc
Neece decried reports that Japan
is entrenching in the islands with
sinister intent.
Feeling among those who should
know is that vast majority of
the Japanese, in case of war, would
fight shoulder to shoulder with
other Americans" he asserted.
Full Beauty
Full beauty of the islands is sell
dom seen by the casual tourist,
McNeece pointed out. Most folk,
even many who have visited the
islands, believe that Honolulu, Dia-
mond Head and Pearl harbor are
the principal points. Actually, there
are twenty islands, each with it's
own individual attractions. Nc
Neece, accompanied by his wife,
flew the 300 miles to Hilo on the
largest of the island group, Hawaii

States, instead of merely trying
to be.
If the master minds of the Ad-
ministration had been consulted
they would never have laid pen to
paper on any order that would
have made a feathers weight of
difference to Col. Davenport John
son, who probably broke Army
regulations when he made an un-
authorized Army plane flight of
1000 n1iles-but who did so as
an accommodating Army official
rather than as a political hench-
man.
However, Colonel johnson is ex-
lied to the Siberia of a dreary
ground school in the prairies of
Illinois, and newspapers from one
end of the country to the other
are exploiting the assumption that
the Administration is venting its
anti-McNutt spite on a poor, for

The summary also showed that
several thousand applicants for
work are being shifted to the un-

labor and social-service groups
generally insisted that thousands
of Washingtonians will starve and
their children continue to be un-
dernourished unless the relief
appropriation is increased.
The Rev. John L. Nixon, di-

it unnecessary to add to the relief

Queries With Coyness
IndiGnG's Son Has
NO Aspirations
To Any office
BY THEODORE A. HUNTLEY

In an interview which admitted
nothing and denied nothing, Col.
Paul v. McNutt watered and
nurtured his presidential boom on
arrival in Washington today
while leaving it to his Indiana
supporters to call him candidate.
Are you a candidate for the
1910 presidential nomination.
he was asked point blank as the
first question out of the box. at
a rapid fire question-and,answer
exchange in his suite at the
Mayflower, where he had just
finished breakfast.
NOT A CANDIDATE
Il am not a candidate for
any public office" 1ndiana's
favorite son replied. Il am Civ.

thought to Americana Philippine
relations"
1t was as if the scene had been
rehearsed. And, in point Of fact,
1t was gone over two or three
times for the news reels and
microphones, ss interviewers and
camera men bolStered their
takes"
Questions followed promptly,
beginning at 10 O'Clock, half an
hour later the last one was an
swered.
There were two others which
dealt with the presidency and re-
lated subjects.
do you favor a third term
for President?" he was asked.
With a smile and the smooth
ness which characterized all his
answers, the handsome American
high commissioner to the Philip
pines, just back from the islands
and expecting soon to return
hoping to-" as he put it-said:
THAT is something the Presi-
dent himself will have to de.
eide"
Would you accept the Vice
Presidency" he was asked a
few minutes later.
WON'T CROSS BRIDGES
"Oh, heavens and EARTH" was
the answer. That's two years
off. Let's not talk about that
now. Let's talk about something
nearer at hand. And I'm not
a candidate for any public Of
flee. Don't forget that!"
Colonel McNutt had a ready ex-
PLANTATION, and one which sounded
alright, and put the War Depart
ment in a more embarrassing posi-
ton than he himself, for the flight
from San Francisco to Denver in
an Army plane piloted by Lieut..
Col. Davenport Johnson, following
which the colonel was relieved of
his command Of Hamilton Field,
California, and shifted to a less
assignment at Chanute
Field in Illinois.

partment runs the Philippines, in
all transportation to and
