RESTRICTION BETTER THAN PRO-
HIBITION.

In the current issue of the At
lantic Monthly, President Eliot
gives an interesting resume of the
against the liquor traf
ic in which he comes to the CON
clusion that restriction of the, sale
of liquors. is at the present time
more effective that prohibitory
legislation. The community of
any considerable size in which
there are not a goodly number
who viii have liquors in their
houses, is not to be found. Pro
hibitory legislation does not have
the support of the majority,
hence its failure.
President Eliot gives the follow
ing restrictions which the expert
ence OF many years has proved to
be desirable and which can be en-
forced in the average city or
town:
There should be no selling to
minors, intoxicated persons, or ha-
bitual drunkards.
There should be no selling on
Sundays, election days, or legal
holidays in general, such Christ
mas Day, Memorial Day and the
Fourth of July. Where, how
ever, such a restriction Is openly
disregarded. as in St. Louis, it is
injurious to have 1t in the law.
SALOONS should not be allowed
to become places of entertain
ment, and 10 this end they should
not be allowed to provide musical
instruments, billiard or pool tables,
bowling alleys, cards, or dice.
SALOONS should not be licensed
in theatres or concert halls, and
no boxing, wrestling, cock fight
ing or other exhibition should be
allowed in saloons.
Every saloon should be wide
open to public inspection from the
highway, no screens or partitions
being permitted.
There should be a limit to the
hours Of selling, and the shorter
the honrs the better. In the diff
ferent states saloons close at yari-
ous hours. Thus, in Maine cities
in which saloons are openly main
tanned the hour for closing is 10
| p. m. and in Massachusetts, it is II
P. m, but the county dispensaries
of South Carolina close at 6 p. m.

AMERICAN EDUCATION.

Samuel Smith, member Of the
. British Parliament writes about
the irritation Of the Americans
toward the British as follows:
There Is, unfortunately, one
cause which underlies much Of
this irritation. The history books
taught in the public schools too
often give the children Of America
the impression that the main
events IN human history are the
American War Of independence,
concluded IN 1888. and the war
with Great Britain Of 1924. 1t
need not be added that Great Bri-
tain appears in those histories al
ways in the wrong, and the Amer
leans ALWAYS right. There Is not
pains taken to show that the best
men IN England protested against
the policy Of George III. and Lord
North, and that the British nation
today esteems George Washington
as much as do the people Of Amer
lea. Il Is not explained that the
England Of last century was gov
erned by the aristocraey, and the
England Of today repudiates the
fatal policy Of the eighteenth cen.
fury as much as do the citizens Of
the United States. These truths
gradually become clear to all edu-
Gated Americans, especially To-
those who visit Europe. But the
children of the ignorant foreign
population get no correcting edu-I
cation af-erward. The newspapers
they read perpetuate these preju-
diees, and there Is consequently
created a permanent mass of III
feeling against Great Britain. Il
must be apparent 70 all right
thinking people that It Is unchrist-
ian to SOW seeds Of enmitv in the
minds Of the Young against other
nations, especially when closely
allied in blood and religion. And
/ I am in hopes that the churches in
America viii before long take this
view themselves"
There Is much that is true in
what Mr.. Samuel Smith says, and
/ he presents the British side of the
question with good effect. It Is
true that Great Britain's policy
today Is far different from Great
Britain's policy IN 1776. As for
/ the discrepancies in the teaching
Of the children however we do not
consider that one Is any more at
fault than the other. In the later
years when archives have been
searched more closely il has been
found that glazing errors have oc-
leured often times and been father
ed ly the best American histori-
ans. As a rule, however. facts
speak for themselves and in the

Mr.. NJ. de Young of the Chroni-
Gle has been talking in New York
city about the need of American
Commercial Agents in foreign
countries. He cites the case of
the German government, which
has supplemented every important
consulate with new official known
as Commercial Agent who is re-
quired to study the foreign trade.
Mr.. de Young advises that the
United States take the same course
if it desires to develop foreign
trade. This is evidence of the
awakening of the American people
to the Importance of this trade and
with it, is the closer study of for
eign relations, annexation and re-

With the match we'll in hand. by two
sets to love: with the score games to

was twice within one point necessary
for the match. In both cases he drove
into the net. and at last Nisbet took
the necessary game To make IL hVe-all.
Again In the same set Learned was
within two points OF winning the match,
but could not quite reach IT. Such ex-
asperating playing was only fepeu-
tion of the exhibition which he gave last

This is the fourth year that his dash

final round of a championship tourna-
ment. only to be defeated by his lack or
sand. Ii must be said. however, that
I.arned displayed far more gameness at
the close of the match yesterday than
he has ever shown before.
In the last two sets he pulled Nisbet 8

work. and here again he fell just short
of winning. II was the bitterest kind
OF a match to watch. with a most heart
rending finish. and to-day only Bob

lishmen and the tennis championship OF
the country. He has nobly filled the
breach before. and there is every hope
that he will do so again
The weather conditions yesterday
were distinctly English. for a misty
northeaster blew over the courts pre-
vious to the match. and made the turf
slippery and uncertain. Both players
fell and Larned lost the deciding point
IN the fourth set by sliding on the grass.
The sky was dull and gray throughout
but this did not deter n big crowd from
