The Growing Passion for Service When Theodore Roosevelt refused to quit, but made his speech with a bullet in his breast, the world was thrilled The incident was thrilling, Heroism always uplifts. The man who serves in the face of death serves in two ways—by the task he performs, and by the example he sets. But Roosevelt stood on a high place. That same day old Flannery, 68 years old, was tending his railway crossing Syracuse, N. Y. A runaway taxicab struck him, He clung to the machine, was carried along by it, bruised in hands, back and arms, and saved from death as by a miracle. A crowd gathered, surrounding him and offering help and con- ¥eyance to a hospital. Old Jim Flannery heard a train aproaching, broke through the crowd in spite of failing strength, and WAVED THE TRAIN THROUGH! The heroes are not those alone who get on the first page in the dispatches! 3 Billy Rugh’s sacrifice of his life in the name of service thrilled the world. Billy gave his lame leg that the sur- geons might take its skin for grafting on the body of a young girl who was so burned that she must die unless skin- grafting were resorted to. “Skin for skin, all that a man hath will he give for his life.” So say the Scriptures. But Billy Rugh gave up his skin, and his life with it for a girl he had fever seen. Well did he deserve all the tears of admiration the world shed for him. But in Mason City, Iowa, about the same time, people fame forward to give great patches of skin for a similar Operation there. They too had the passion for service. They Bervice was not so spectacular, but it was inspired by the Same altruism. In spite of the Beckers and Tammanys, the Black Hands, and all the things of Greed and Crime that stare us in the by day and night, the world is growing better. Crime is loud. Altruism is only occasionally heard. But ft is as universal as the sun's warmth! Observations VOTE, not often, but EARLY. It helps election judges —and we'll know who you're voting for a little earlier. THERE'LL be a boom in Seattle's hat business tomor- row. It is estimated 5,718 lids have been wagered on today's outcome. VOTE for the initiative, referendum and recall amend- Ments to the state constitution. They are measures to pro- tect YOUR interests, and that is why the kept newspapers Ste fighting them. WOMEN are voting in six states—all western—today, nd in five others, all western, equal suffrage amendments up for adoption. But throughout the country women’s uence will be felt as never before. EVEN at this hour the gang organs of this state are shouting that Patty Hay is the only real progressive in the state pasture, and that as for state finances, he’s a regular t Morgan.

I hope they will retire with &@ profound sense of their responsibility, and it is expected that under the law they will report their verdict within 20 hours.” Rather neat little wind-up for Prof. Wilson!
