There's that Vance McCormick chap Just selected as chair¬ man of the I.'emocratic National Com- mttte to run the campaign of I'ri'sldeiit Wllaon, Four years ago, the Bull Moose brethren of Pennsylvania pltcluil u|ioii him, Democrat though he was. to run for Governor of that rlnK-rlddeii .Staff, His record for "civic riKhteousni'KH" rang so loudly and true, that Colonel KooHcvelt Slumped for llim, and 110,000 PennHylvanla Moose and Iiemocrata voted for blm, .McCormick Isn't betting very much on the Colone-l's aid this year.

Death on ttie KiiKlne Tender, — Presi¬ dent Peters is doing <-xcellent work in his publicity campaign a^ainHt reckless •ones who undertake to butt his trains off the track, but tie is not wholly sup¬ ported .by his ow-n employes in the en¬ deavor to keep down the death list. In a certain village on a certain recent night occurred one of the closest squeaks for a coupie of careful auto- •drivers of which we have heard. The gates were properly lowered, the lights glowed red, the swlfctiman. a most care¬ ful man, at his post. The very long- freight rumbled lo the west, the gates went up and the two drivers started across. .Suddenly, without warning bell ¦or whistle, a special from the -West hurled Itself Into view, not 200 feet dis¬ tant, driving like mad, the etiKlne's ten¬ der at the front of the train and no light th«'reon! The taxi driver had 'caught sight of tlie special and he stop¬ ped so short that his engine stalled. What Impelli'd the owner-driver ot the -other car to suddenly stop, he knows not. He saw nothing, heard nothing— "he had started ahead, the machine was In perfect order. Involuntarily he slop¬ ped it—he couldn't move himself to get it in motion. In two seconds more he would have been on thc eastbound track, Thc engine tender was on the same spot to lhe second. It ripped past almost grazing the auto, the first Intl- inatlon of its owner that Death liad met llim face to face, but for some reason tiad passed on, "My God," said the switchnian. aa the dazed owner flnally 'KOt across the tracks, "I thought you -were a dead one," It wasn't the switch¬ man at fault that tiine—his name is suppressed however; he might be "blamed for something. Just what can¬ not be imagined, for no switchman ever keeps his gates down In expectation of a special, not recorded, runnllig wild, 'engine tendtr at the front, no light thereon, and no warning belt or whistle, "Who can say what gripped the auto-

Cit course, ll is not absolutely neces¬ sary that you should believe In any. all or none ot these doctrinal requirements, in order to live a truly upright life.
