Magee sank a 45-foot curling
putt on the seth green to to
the contest only to lose when he
hubbed his second shot on the

In the fiuctuating match,
Hyndman led / up at the end

Magee, putting and chipping
magniflcently, moved ahead by
one hole at the 27-hole mark.
Then Hyndman, getting his

putting him 2 up with three
holes to play. But Magee wasn't
beaten yet. He rolled in q 30

Hyndman's lead to q single hole,
halved the 35th and then moved
to the seth where his seemingly

seemed like its final roll. A
crowd Of 1900 cheered wildly.

The 37th was halved in par

IN the very long ago tnere
lived in the city Of Ephesus
q silversmith Of high repute
and wealth by the name of
Demetrius. The silver shrines
he made for the goddess
Diana had brought him pro-
fessional fame.
At that time the Apostle
Paul came to Ephesus to
preach the Gospel of Christ.
He taught the people to
abandon their false gods for
the worship Of the one true
God and told them of Jesus
the Saviour Of Mankind. His
words spread from city to
city. from countryside to
countryside.
Demetrius, the -silversmith,
was q shrewd businessman.
He began to realize that the
growing number of con-
vertS to Christianity would
eventually hurt his profess
sion. He called together the
craftsmen and workmen of
like professions and said:
"Sirs, ye know that by this
craft we have our wealth.
Moreover, ye see and hear
that not alone at Ephesus
but almost throughout all
other lands this Paul has
persuaded that there be no
gods which are made by
hand.
80 that not only this our
craft is in danger to be set
at nought: but also that the
temple of the great goddess
Diana should be despised and
her magnificence should be
destroyed, whom all Asia and
the world worshipeth."
And when the craftsmen
heard Demetrius they were
angry and cried out Great
is Diana of the Ephesians. /"
So successful was Deme-
trius in stirring up the crafts
men that they went out
among the people spreading
whatever rumor or story came
to mind until the public be-
came so confused that it, too,
was stirred up. When Paul
came to the theater where
he was to preach he was un-
able to enter because of the
uproar of the people and had
to depart.
The stories of the Bible and
teachings of Christ and His
apostles can serve us in 1860
as we battle the same avarice
and apathy, ignorance and
godlessnesS that prevailed in
Demetrius' time. For the
story of that silverSmith is
repeate d q thousandfold
through the land. 1t is the
same battle between false
gods and the God who is
truth.
Today our Government
grows vaster, not for the
benefit of the people but be-
cause of greed for soft jobs
and high retirement pay. Our
politicians grow fat on prom
iSes they know they cannot

prudence to the winds as
they rush to trade with the

Reaction of G. O. p. Politicians Is He
Should Be on Ticket With Nixon

The political future Of
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York is strictly in
Albany at present, with a
strong possibility that it will
remain there for some time.
The curbstone reaction of
Republican politicians, who
seemed somewhat stunned by
their bloodless coup, was to
renew their suggestion that
he would make their favorite,
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, a good Vice President.
This reaction is doubtless
compounded Of two parts in
about equal measure.
One is that Rockefeller's
quick capitulation emphasizes
the rough treatment his
wholly legitimate aspira-
tons received from the party
leaders under the direction
Of the Vice President. It was
as subtle as a kick in the
teeth and allowed the voters
no voice in the decision. In a
free country this is, apart
from moral considerations,
bad public relations.
The other is that it needed
no very prolonged reflection
to realize that a Republican
presidential candidate who
does not carry New York is in
mortal danger. A Democrat
can fall back on the South
for votes to counteract New
York and so make out If he
can win other pivotal States.

Administration Makes Choice

in control of the White
House finds himself COM
PEELED to stand on the record
of the existing administra-
ton. In 1852, when Gov. Ad-
lai Stevenson of Illinois was
nominated, he was in a
quandary for several days
after the convention ad-
journed as to whether he
would try to campaign
wholeheartedly on the T1u-
man record. He decided
finally to do so, and lost.
For the voters express
their opinions on an incum-
bent administration, irrespec-
tive of the personality of the
candidates. In fact, this is
going to be the basic issue in
the 1860 campaign, and
that's why the Vice Presi-
dent-who has been so much
a part of the current admin
iStration. - is the logical
choice of the coming Repub-
lican convention. Also, that's
why New York's Gov. Rookie
feller came to the conclusion
that any vigorous contest for
the nomination might split
the party and injure its
chances to win the election
in November 1860.
AS for the comment COM
ing from Democratic quar-
ters that Mr.. Nixon would be
easier to defeat in 1860 than
Gov. Rockefeller would have
been, this isn't borne out by
recent Gallup polls.
In trial heats" among
voters Of all parties in late
November, Mr.. Nixon showed
Sc per cent as against Mr..
Stevenson's A per cent,
whereas Mr.. Rockefeller
polled SO per cent as against
Mr.. Stevenson's AZ per cent.
In a similar poll at about
the same time, Mr.. Nixon
ran up SO per cent as against
Senator Kennedy's Al per
cent, whereas Gov. Rookie
feller polled only 81 per cent
as against Senator Kennedy's
6S per cent.
So it is hard to see how
the Democrats can really be-
lieve that Mr.. Nixon would
be easier to beat than Gov.
Rockefeller except that III
politics 1t is always con-
Sidered good tactics to boast
Of victory in advance Of the
election itself.

Rockefeller to Tend to Knittino

in view of the low estate of
the party and what he re-
CARDS as the clear and pres-
ent dangers of today's world
they were so satisfied.
He has from the start been
plain and emphatic about
not wanting the vice presi-
dency. It would force him
into a campaign defending
policies with which he does
not agree. Nor does he lack
conceit and there is a faint
flavor of bone-tossing about
the second-place talk from
those who have just forced
him to bite the dust.
The only time reporters
can recall Rockefeller being
really disagreeable to the
citizenry was when a Cali
fornia woman pressed on him
a demand that he ought to
take second place on the
ticket with Nixon.
Still, if the politicians are
in a hole at Chicago next
summer, If the. breezes from
the Kremlin or the economy
are blowing somewhat harsh
ly, Rockefeller can expect
something in the nature of a
draft for the vice presidency.
Consideration for his feelings
will again be viewed as ir-
relevant, and that is politics
"a harsher side perhaps but
a real one.
His present intention is not
to respond, but to await 1864
1t is not necessarily his final
answer.

Of the McCooks waited once
war came.
Alexander NJ. McCook and
Edward Moody McCook had
perhaps the most concen-
trated combat. The former
had been an Indian fighter
before the Civil War. They
were all friends Of General
Sherman, being fellow Ohio
ans. After the war Alexander
McCook was called upon to
serve on many commissions.
He represented his country at
the coronation of Nicholas
II, Car of Russia. Edward
M. McCook became minister
to Hawaii and Governor Of
Colorado Territory.
James McCook left the
Army to become an Episcopal
minister. Henry Christopher
McCook, a theological school
graduate, became a Presby-
terian minister once his
fighting days were done.
One Of those who went in
to danger with a certain
gaiety was Robert Latimer
McCook. He was often
wounded, but kept himself at
the head of his men who
gave him the loyalty and af-
fection which military men
always accord a soldiers
soldier. Once he was too bad
ly wounded to walk or ride.
So, he had an ambulance
brought forward and rode in
it, directing the attack from
a seat inside. Guerrillas at
tackled and shot him down in
cold blood. His regiment, lost
in anger, burned homes and
hanged several of the cul-
prits.
These are but some of the
McCooks. They made up a
large and picturesque chap
ter in the Civil War. but not
until I met them all lined up
in the new dictionary did I
realize what a large and GAL
liant chapter they are.

II President Eisenhower
were eligible for a third term
under the Constitution and
were willing to accept it, does
anyone who knows American
politics think for a moment
that he would not be nomi-
mated by the overwhelming
vote of the next Republican
National Convention?
Certainly there would be
no contest-there rarely is
when an incumbent admin
istration has in its ranks
someone Of stature who is
considered politically eligible
to head the ticket. Vice
President Nixon is an inte-
gral part of the Eisenhower
administration and can de-
fend its record wholeheart-
edly.
All the talk emanating
from Democrats to the effect
that the Republican conven-
tion will be controlled" be-
cause it will have no "con-
test" and that the nomination
OF Mr.. Nixon has been
prearranged "by the bosses"
ignores what has happened
under somewhat similar cir
cumstances in their own
party.
Thus, in 1886 there was
no contest" made against
the renomination of PreSi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt
nor in 1910 or 1914. The
Democrats in 1914, more
over, as a result of word

years. He was certainly en-
