Please send him such notification.” Members of the Chamber of Com- merce bellm'o‘ that strong influence from the west coast organizations has been brought to bear on the ex- ecutive, and some of them opined last night that somewhere a well de- fined political string was beinz pulled. : Carl Fisher, who is responsible for the Dixie Highway, and who had Miami in mind from the very out- set of the project as the southern terminus, said last night that he did not anticipate any change in the plan as already adopted. He will leave for Indianapolis the latter part of the week and en route will prob- ably call on overnor Rye at Nash- ville, and Gov. Ralston of Indiana, upon his arrival at the Hoosier capital. While it is understood that west coast people are waging a strong campaign to intercept the proposition as already adopted, Mr. Fisher is of the opinion that Miami will not be robbed of the honor al- ready given it and he will strongly oppose any action detrimental to the Magic City's interests. It is expected that further infor- mation will be received by the Chamber of Commerce today, follow- & 1 ing Gov. Trammell's official notifica- | tion of power of appointment of Florida’'s representatives. Mr. Bel- cher was unanimously elected to rep- resent this end of the highway and his name was stronzly recommend- ed to the executive. In view of the fact that Miami had representation at Chattanooga while the west coast did not, and also that Chairman Bel- cher has authorized the expenditure of $1,000 annually towards the maintenance of the Chicago-to-Mia- mi highway, it is generally felt here that Governor Trammell cannot do other than appoint Mr. Belcher and oppose any suggestion that may be made for the highway being trans- ferred to the west coast. e FAMBURG TO HAVE WOMEN STREET CAR CONDUCTORS (By Asociated Press) Hamburg, April 15.—Hamburg is to install women as conductors on the street cars so that the men may be free to go to war. is seeking a number of young women for the cars runnine between blackenese and Ohlsdorf to relieve the present employes. Ber- strong lin already has a number of women traceable to that commercial com- gne :mported fustic wood as a perma car conductors. b The city now I start society developed along t he' line of individual piowess and the survival of the fittest. Selfishness was the supreme fac- tor. First the individual, then the state and nation-——at all stages men ‘seeing, starving, struggling, grasp- ing, even legislating and fighting to get an advantage over others—to live on each other instead of for each other. Civilization has not yet | passed beyond this stage. Business is slowly passing beyond it, in spite of the hostility of politicians and the repressive action of government. It takes the form of large enterprises, profit sharing, stock owning, better | wages, and bringing labor and cap- ital together for the welfare of all concerned. . National selfishness is now delug- ing the world with blood. To gain ascendancy in the markets of the | world is the ambition of the people of every nation. Even patriotism is an enlarged form of selfishness, |as it is confined to national bound- lary lines. No nation has yet reach- ed hte standard proclaimed by Thomas Paine: “The world is my ion.” There is no such thing on earth as a Christian nation. There are Christian men and women, but there are not enough of them in any nation to shape its politics or con- trol its destiny. . Under the spirit and practice of competition; giving the least, driving the weak- est to the wall-—which is the antith- esis of co-operation, the largest sh ab ningist, the sharpest the shrewdest, the most grapsing and self-seeking members of the social organization. | Itwas a difficult matter for the men of this country to form a gener- al government, so powerful was the individualistic sentiment. The most critical period of American history was between the close of the revolu- tionary war and the adoption of the federal constitution. Absolute nec- essity, self-protection, forced the men of the town to organize the state, and finally a similar necessity led each state to surrender enough of its cherished autonomy to estab- lish a nation. Later a civil war—a war between the states—overthrew forever the bameful doctrine that ch state had a right to secede U The co-operation in a federal 2overnment became a political, an industrial, a commercial and social as well as an mic n ssity otherwise, there would have ben a lot of petty, | jealous, discontent and warring po- | litical organizations. Competition is war; co-operation is peace. Civilization's highest at- tainment will be found in “‘the fed- {eration of the world.” The period lof warring tribes passed years ago j—that of warring nations will also :rnd.
