The letter to Representative Shr wood, made publie here tongiht, reads: "Allow me to congratulate you on your speech opposing prepared ness.

While the endorsement was not made in a formal manner, it is never theless said to be just as effective as if the bar had met and discussed the affair. Judge Allen, it is said, is mighty popular in this section, and it is be lieved that his appointmen to the tench of the United States Supreme Court will be sure to come. It was thought recently that a Re publican might receive the appoint ment, but it is calculated that if such move is started there would be a great howl- raised from the Demo crats, who are, it is said, particularly anxious to have a southeastern Dem ocrat receive the appointment. Discussing the affair yesterday two enurt officials were credited as say ing that the intimation had been let out that ex-President Taft might re ceive the appointment.

RALPH PARLETTE IS A REAL PHILSOPHER Ralph Parlette, who' comes to the Graded School next Tuesday night is a real philosopher. Here are some of his sayings: Only the little man hoards. The big man has it all. He owns the earth and the fullness thereof, and the uni verse hoards for him. Don't you know the world needs your smiles and your kind words and your "good mornings" today more than your millions and your libraries and your foundations tomorrow? Don't you know what the wrold needs most is what you have most to give? Humanity is one great watch in which everybody is a wheel. Just at tending to your own business is only half your job. You must make the watch run. A successful wheel re quires a successful watch. Success is never privately owned. The trouble with most reformers is they want to reform the other fellow. And do it with dynamite. The na ii.ns of Europe have recently tried it The worst lie is a half-truth. Most that you read comes under this head ing. Especially what I write. When I was a baby I reached so far out of my crib for the moon I fell out and bumped my head. Most of us are babies reaching for moons. That's why there are so many soreheads. COL.
