If his advancement is with little or no effort on his part, and is due solely to the length of time he has held an office, he is | not worthy of commendation, and his honor, measured in the terms of accom- plishments, is an empty title. Advancement by seniority alone in congress, in the army and the navy, or in any other department of government, is not becoming to a democracy, which should determine the qualifications of its public men by ability, the dominant faetor in private enterprise. Honesty, of course, is the most es- sential thing in private or public life but honesty alone is not enough to warrant the ; placing of a man in an office that requires, besides honesty, skill, efficiency and apti- tude. Yet congress, in this great democracy. of ours, does not recognize ability so far as } committee appointments and advancements | are concerned. If John Smith is a livewire and a level- headed thinker and is fresh in congress, the turning of the hands of the clock de- termines his advancement just as it does Bill Black, who is a dud and a superficial | thinker. “Congress has several of the for- } mer type in the ranks and a good many of the latter on important committees. i Fortunately, not even congress, with j all its hard and fast rules and regulations, can hold down a man who evolves feasible, eonstructive ideas and has the aggressive- ness and tenacity to put them into effect. It has been many a day, as has been declared time and again in Washington, since a first-termer in the House strode so | determinedly to the forefront as has J. Mark Wilcox of this congressional dis- trict. His Municipal Bankruptcy Bill, which he succeeded in having passed by the House, is, if it becomes a law, as is likely, the first piece of major legislation by a Floridian that has been adopted by con- gress in many a year. Last week, twice within a few days, Mr. Wilcox had conferences - with: Presi- dent Roosevelt, one about the bankruptcy bill, and the other about the proposed Everglades National Park, and in each in- stance the presidential support was ob- tained. And what is the reason for the almost unprecedented success of a first-termer that has attended Mark Wileox in eon- gress? The answer is found. in one word: ability. Seniority will retard his advance- ment on committees but it will be swept aside by that more important role of action and capability. Seniority is drifting along with the current; ability is making headway against the current. He who depends on seniority alone folds his arms and waits, and, after he has waited long enough, points proudly to.his “aecomplishment”; ability adds suceess to suceess and is not coneerned with watching theretoek, ei yet MIAMI COURTESY $2 6 (Havana Post) Reporters to Miss Cuba, on her return from the Pan-American beauty pageant in Miami: “Well, how did you like your trip?” Miss Cuba: “It was terrible.

CHAPTER THE FOURTH. (FHERE were in that country where Our Saviour per- formed his Miracles, certain people who were called Pharisees. They were very proud, and believed that no peeple were good but themselves; and they were all afraid of Jesus Christ, because he taught the people better. So were the Jews, in general. Most of the Inhabitants of that country were Jews. | 7 Our Saviour, walking once in the fields with his Disciples on a Sunday (which the Jews called, and stilt call, the Sabbath) they gathered some ears of the corn that was growing there, to eat. This, the Pharisees said. was wrong; and in the same way, when Our Saviour went into one of their churches—they were called Synagogues —and looked compassionately on a poor man who. had his hand all withered and wasted away, these Pharisees said “Is it right to cure people on a Sunday?” Our Saviour answered them by saying, “If any of you had a sheep, and it fell into a pit, would you not take it out, even though it happened on a Sunday? And how much better is a man than a sheep?” Then he said to the poor man, “Stretch out thine hand!" And it was cured immediately, and was smooth and useful like the other. So Jesus Christ told them “You may always do good, no matter what the day is.” F * . (ee was a city called Nain into which Our Saviour went. soon after this, followed by great numbers of people, and especially by those who had sick relations, or friends, or children. For they brought sick people out into the streets and roads through which he passed, and cried out to him to touch them, and when he did, they became well. Going on, in the midst of this crowd, and near the Gate of the city, He met a funeral. It was the funeral of a young man, who was carried on what is called a Bier, which was open, as the custom was in that country and is now in many parts of Italy. His poor mother fol- lowed the Bier, and wept very much, for she had no other child. When Our Saviour saw her, he was touched to the heart to see her so sorry, and said “Weep not!” Then, the bearers of the Bier standing still, he walked up to it, and touched it with his hand, and said “Young Man! Arise.” The dead man, coming to life again at the sound of The Saviours’ voice, rose up and began to speak. And Jesus Christ, leaving him with his Mother—ah how happy they both were—went away. . Y this time the crowd was so very great that Jesus Christ went down to the waterside, to go in a boat, to a more retired place. And in the boat, He fell asteep, while his Disciples were sitting on the deck. While he was still sleeping, a violent storm arose, so that the waves washed over the boat, and the howling wind so rocked and shook disciples awoke Our Saviour, and said “Lord! Save us, or we are lost!” He stood up, and raising his arm, said to the rolling Sea and to the whistling wind, “Peace! still!” And immediately it was calm and pleasant weather and the boat went safely on, through the smootk waters When they came to the other side of the water they had to pass a wild and lonely burying-ground that was out- side the city to which they were going. Al burying- grounds were outside cities in those times. In this place there was a dreadful madman who lived among the tombs and howled all day and night, so that it made travellers afraid, to hear him. They had tried to chain him, but he broke his chains, he was so strong; and he would throw himself on the sharp stones, and eut himself in the most dreadful manner: crying and howling al] the while: when this wretched man saw Jesus Christ, a long way off, he cried out “It is the son of God! Oh son of God! do not torment me!’ Jesus, coming near him, perceived that he was torn by an Evil Spirit, and cast the madness out of h'is, and into a herd of swine (cr pigs) who were feeding | L~, and who directly ran headlong down a steep place “lc ad into the sea and were dashed to pieces. 1d in connection ao ers AYS GONE BY!" that key to the Dade county Hine.

Schonbew, a reproduction of one of the notable paintings of the scene as described in the New Testament.

Hered had taken him prisoner, because he | taught and preached to the people; and had him then locked up, in the prisons of his While Herod was in this angry humour with John, his | birthday came; and his daughter, Herodias, who was a fine dancer, danced before him, to please him. She pleased him so much that he swore an oath he would give her what- ever she would ask him for. “Then,” said she, “father zive me the head of John the Baptist in a charger.” For she hated John, and was a wicked, cruel woman, The King was sorry, for though he had John prisoner he did not wish to kill him; but having sworn that he wouk give her what she asked for, he sent some soldiers dow: into the prison, with directions to cut off the head ot John the Baptist, and give it to Herodies. This they did and took it to her, as she had said, in a charger, which was a kind of dish. When Jesus Christ heard from the apostles of this cruel deed, he left that city, and went with them (after they had privately buried John’s body in the night) to another place.
