FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1922. Jesus the Perfect Man (From the Commercial Appeal) There is no other character in history like that of Jesus. As a preacher, as a doer of things, and as a philosopher, no man ever had the sweep and the vision of losus. A human analysis of the human ,-utions of Jesus brings to view a rule of life that is amazing in its perfect detail. The system of ethics Jesus taught during His earthly sojourn 2,000 ytars ago was true then, has been true in every century since and will 1c true forever. Plato was a great thinker and learned in his age, but his teachings did not stand the test of time. In big things and in little things time and l uman experience have shown that he erred. Marcus Aurelious touched the reflective mind of the world, but he was as cold and austere as brown marble. The doctrine of Confucius gave a great nation moral and mental dryrot. I The teaching of Buddha resulted in mental and moral chaos that makes India derelict. Mohammed olfen-d a system of eth if which whs adopted by millions of people. Now their children live in <U"?erts where once there were cities, along dry rivers where once there was moisture, and in the shadows of gray barren hills where once there was greenness. Thomas Aquinas was a profound philosopher, but parts of his system have been abandoned. Franci of Assissi was Christlike in hi;- saintlincss, but in some things he was childish. Thomas A. Kempis' Imitation of Christ is a thing of rare beauty and sympathy, but it is, as its name indicates, only an imitation. Sir Thomas More's Utopia is yet a dream that can not be realized. Lord Bacon, writing on chemistry , and medicine under the glasses of the man working in a twentieth century laboratory, is puerile. The world's most learned doctors until a hundred and fifty years ago gave dragon's blood and the ground dried tails of lizards and shells of eggs for certain ailments. The great surgeons a hundred years ago bled a man if he were wounded. Napoleon had the world at his feet for four years, and when he died the world was going on its way as if he had never lived. Jesus taught little as to property because He krew there were things of more impoitance than property. 1I? measured property and life, the lx>dy and soul, at their exact relative \ aiue. He taught much as to character, because character is of more importance than dollars. Other men taught us to develop systems of government. Jesus taught jo as to perfect the mind of men, Jesus looked to the soul, while other men dwelled on material things. After the experience of 2,000 years no man can find a flaw in the governmental system as outlined by Jesus. Czar and kaiser, president and socialist, give to its complete merit their admiration. N'o man today, no matter whether he follows the doctrine of Mills, Marx or George as to property, can find a false principle in Jesus' theory of property. In the duty of a ninn to his fellows no sociologist lias ever approximated the perfection of the doctrine laid down by Jesus in Ilis Sermon on the Mount. Not all the investigation of chemists, not a!', the discoveries of explorers, not all the expertences of rulers, r.ot all the historical facts that go to make the sum of human knowledge on this day in 1912 are in contradiction to one word uttered or ore principle laid down by Jesus. The human experiences of 2,000 years show that Jesus never made a mistake. Jesus never uttered n doctrine that was true at the time and then became obsolete. Jesus snoke the truth* livr?H the truth; *nd truth is eternal. History has no record of any other man leading a perfect life or doing everything in logical order. Jesus is the only person whose every action and whoae every utterance strike a true note in the heart and mind of every man bom of a woman. He never said a foolish thing, never did a foolish act and never dissembled. No poet, no dreamer, no philosopher loved humanity with the love that Jesus bore toward all men. Who, then, was Jesus ? He could not have been merely a man, for there never was a man who had two consecutive thoughts absolute ir truthful perfection. Jesus must have been what Christ I ' ertdom proclaims Him to be?a di: vibe being?or He could not here j b?en whet He wee. No aipd but an , irMnite inind could have left behind; those things which Jesua gave to the | world aa a heritage. i. i. J Our cat aays there is but one more shopping duy before Christmas.

Believe Defeat of Bill Assured Washington, Dec. 22.?Opponents .-?f the president's ship bonus bill now before the senate believe that its det<nt or withdrawal has been assured v y '.he showing that its chief beneficial ii 3 would not be the operators of cargo carriers but powerful corporations operating passenger vessels, . lot on the basis of computing compensation fixed by the Shipping Board ships going light of cargo would receive the same sums in subsidies as. if ' hey carried.full,earmold, that ttq measure as it stands 'Taunches the government upon a sea of trouble and enormous expense." The bill does no1 I rovide compensation based upon tonnage carried, but upon size and speed of ships. There are only a few of the objections urged against the presidents pet project by the Democratic minority of the senate committee on commerce, but they are regarded as sc vital that unless they are removed t majority of the senate, including 'straight" Republicans and westert progressive Republicans will vote ti kill or recommit the measu*e. Chairman Lasker and other oJiciah of the Harding administrali n ar< working hnrd to prevent the amend, ment of the bill to meet the objections of the Democrats and progrei. t .si\e Republicans. It is 'he c-pinior f Democratic senators that rnthoi than eliminate the provisions whioi" 1110V retrard PS nhnnvinns tha r.r-r.j-'. dt-.nt will allow the bill to be pigeon . holed. Notwithstanding' the optimism which certain advocates of the bill express regarding its ultimate passage by congress in substantially its ?resent form, it is known that the Repub, iican backers of the measure foresee its rejection unless it is practically re-written. A filibuster against the > bill by radical progressives on the Re. publican side is at present being organized. Even if the agricultural leg?-lr.f;,>n which these progressive ReI publicans and the Democrats are demanding is enacted before the final disposition of the ship bonus bill is imdertnken, the latter wiii stiii face a 1 ttcr attack. Tho Democratic minority has shown i.i the fonn.il expression of its views that the bill will not have the effect, if it has tho purpose, of upbuilding the American merchant marine. "It is alleged that the subsidy is intended for the benefit of a suitable fleet to carry American grain and provisions and eott/on to markets in for('Cin lands." the nemru?rnt.i/? of the senate commerce committee declares: "These are described as 'the farmers' kind of ships.' "It is perfectly plain, on the other hand, that the ships which would chiefly be benefited are not the cargo ships at all, i nt passenger ships, and those of other types. "For instance, a cargo ship of 3,600 gross tons, such as those vessels built at Hog Island, would receive a minimum compensation. Such a ship, along with practically 1200 others, composing our cargo carriers, would have about 200 steaming days a year, and make about 200 miles a day and receive tho one-half cent rate, which v.ould amount to about 911,000 per annum. It is not conceivable that this | amount would induce purchasers to . acquire these ships or be a very ma tcrial figure in their operation." The Democratic minority tips point* oat that the George Virthf ton, a.passenger ship.of 26,fig gpO? tone, would receive appreghngM So(KM?0 a year in Mbcidlea WQdighh' bilL Thia ahip on?a rapantcqggjpp made a profit of mote than fl4Qjj)0 Her sister ship, America, aur? i profit of 146,000 on one of her 1 'm voyages. She also would he eafiiic to bonuses aggregating f -1 year under the bill now J Msg? th senate. j Under the bill, the Democrat* *hi? the Minnekahda, 17,281 .great,torn I0V2 knots, would have a rate of ?om pensation of 1 cent a mile. Hep pub sidy on this basis would be *bou $i 50,000 a year. Thia vessel is oerne by the Atlantic Transport Line, fcfRli a ted with the International tile Marine. "W? have never imderetno*; tlie were in need of a subsidy, or of an direct aid by way of compensation, the Democratic members of the jcott mittee say, referring to the Iatenu tional Mercantile Marine. The 12 vessels of the Pacini* (Ms steamship company aggregateJJti.OC gross tons, and are engaged-priu^tpa Iv in' carrying cargoes. >The.^Otii tleet would receive under the (ph visions of the bill only f 190*000 > t h r in subsidies. ' Mlt wiirbeiset that one ship of 17,281 igqros* ftqi would receive as much eompsaaptk as an entire fleet of 12>ahip*u*f 1 aggregate grots tonnage Of!-t|),( would receive," the minority wo ments. Some 14 companies operating* phi to carry their own goods, and captt ized at *5,046,COO,OOO.would race!1 under the bill urged by President's ding compensation and'- benefits I In mng into millions annually. The bill provides, that .in alb. pea compensation is to. be computed I % each gross ton of the vessel," no ftifc tor what her cargo may be. ,H *1 sails empty she will receive ssitdti as if she goes loaded.

New York, Dec. 20.?\ * evidence of unclassftflft prehistbti 1 rodents and rc-ptiles has been fom by Albert Thompson, paleontologk - in the ranch lands of Nebraska, whs > in. former years research works 1 have uncovered the remains of ma : todons, rhinoceroses, giant camels, |] 1 ligators, dwarf horses and other que > beasts. The bones ol the strange animal ? were uncovered on a ranch in Sioi 2 county while Mr. Thompson, who ii member of the paleontological re search staff of the American Musenr of Natural History, was searching fo ? ikeletons of three-toed dwarf horses Mr. Thompson began the st* 8av? > paleontology while employed as cowboy in the Dakota Bad Lands mor t han 30 years ago. He was especial!; interested in the remains of the ?hri? i j toed horse and other types of baaat I of the same family. s In the interest of this work he wen to Nebraska early last summer. Aid ed by several students he began dig 1 ging in a channel bed that appears ' to be rich in bones of all sorts. H ( found bits of the dwarf horse, of th? . alligator and of other animala, am then he came upon pieces of sskulli the character of which was new t him. He delved further in a nefTort t 1 uncover complete skeletons. His stu i dents helpers returned to their schoo i and he kept on alone, but had is further success i Bad weather finally set in and Mr i Thompson was compelled to abandoi , is work. He had, however, collect* ; undreds of bones and skulls of grea research value. He plans to retun to Sioux county next year and resumi work in the channel bed. "Western Nebraska undoubtedly it the richest field in America for thii sort of work," said Mr. Thompson re cently and we hope to make startling discoveries in the next two or thr* years. I shall return next aummei sanrl mol/A o? " 1 v. ?! (-nun to nno complete skeletons of the strange type of ro. dents and reptiles of which we have fragments."
