AN OPPORTUNITY

The general educational bill
passed the House OF the General
Assembly March 5, by vote of 6e
to 10. There is little doubt that
it will pass the Senate by good
majority when the General AS
sembly reconvenes in April. The
bill contains provisions for State
appropriation to assist counties to
establish and maintain public
high schools on the following con-
ditions:
1. Public high schools may re-
ceive from this fund in proportion
to the amount received from other
sources for current expenses.
2. No county may receive from
this fund more than oue-half as
much as the county provides from
public taxation or other sources
for current expenses.
3. No county may receive more
than one-fiftieth the total amount
of appropriation for any year.
P. p. Claxton, superintendent of
the State University, Knoxville,
explains the plan as follows:
Under these provisions your
county of Benton should receive
annually between $3.50 and $3.50;
but in order to share in this fund
this year your public high school
or schools should be in operation
next fall. I am therefore writing
to suggest that your County Court
should take action on the matter at
It's April session, levya high school
tax and appoint High School
Board to locate and govern the
school, etc. The assessedproperty
Of your county is about 100000.
A tax of 10 cents on the hundred
dollars will produce about 81, 900,
which, added to the sum you will
receive from the State, will be about
$3.50"
The opportunity bus offered is
Tor the better education Of teach
ers for the public schools But is
eft to the County Court 10 say
vhether small assessment shall
lie levied to share in this fund.
Will Benton Comfy grasp the
opportunity? Will tie court take
o the matter 1T the April term

INCANDESCENT MANTLE'S
ROMANTIC BEGINNING
Discovery of Use for Thorium
Made bN a Baron

The story of the revolution in light
ing efficiency brought about by the in
candescent gas mantle is one of great
interest and is told in Chambers Jour-
nal for November. The secret of the
success of the mantle is entirely due to
the presence Of two rare minerals, tho
rum and cerium Baron Auer Won
Welsbach found that If cotton cone
was soaked in a nitrate solution COM
posed of 80 parts of thorium and l
part of cerium and subsequently, placed
in a hot flame, SO as to>burn out all inn
purities, converting the whole fabric
into oxides of the above mentioned two
rare minerals, an intense, powerful
light, which is now so familiar, was
emitted when the material was raised
to a high state of incandescence over a
Bunsen burner.
The thorium used in the process is
among the most valuable minerals
known. 1t is found only in one part OF
the world-that is, in sufficient quanti-
ties to render its exploitation worth
while. On the outskirts of an insignifi-
cant little village in Brazil runs river
which cuts its way to the Atlantic
through banks of peculiar sand.
Geologically, this sand is built up In
strata, and it is the dark layers that
are so eagerly excavated by the Ind-
ans, for with the sand is mingled the
grains of thorium--the secret of light
This raw material has to be submitted
to continuous concentrating operations
before it is ready for use.

LITTLE, DANGER OF

Somebody said the other day. after
reading of the slaughter of wild beasts
by Roosevelt on his present expedition.
that soon there would be no lions left
in Africa. III. A. Dryden, an authority
on the subject. evidently holds no such
opinion. Notwithstanding the odds
against him, he writes in Chambers
journal, the lion in Africa stills roams
over an immense extent of country He
yields slowly to civiliza tion. it is true
but in the wilder and more remote
parts of the continent his reign is still
practically unchallenged. 1t took 200
years to drive the animal north of the
Orange river. South of the Zambesi
the last lion may perchance have dis
appeared within the next 80 or 40
years.
In many other parts of Africa. Dryden
thinks, it may be safely anticipated
that the roar of the lion will be heard
for at least another 100 years; in some
places possibly 200 years may be
nearer the mark. The lion, in truth.
dies hard. His destruction is only ac-
complished by sportsmen of great cour-
age and determination, men who are
experts in the use of the rifle and whose
eyes and nerves may be depended upon
in the last extremity of danger. Even
with such as these. the lion is not al
ways the loser.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 10.-'The judgment
of this court is that William Noting.
George Emler and Earl Hambley be
committed to the Preston state school
of industry at lone and that Dahl Ham
bley and Lew S. Wood be committed to
the Whittier state school at Whittier
during their minority"
With these words Judge Gosbey to-
day made disposition of the youthful
gang arrested about two weeks ago
after the burglary of a newspaper
business Office
Last~Wednesday the lads. who range
in age from 15 to II years, confessed
to nearly score of mysterious crimes
committed in this city during the last
few months. One of the boys told of
having taken part in half dozen of
these "jobs." Another said he was
connected with Is.
All the cigarmen, saloonmen, pool
room proprietors and proprietors of
dives mentioned by any of the boys
in their confession were asked to be
present and the courtroom was packed
with those upon whom notice had been
served
Judge Gosbey stated that he would
not attempt to pass upon the truth
or falsity of the statements made by
the delinquents concerning these peo-
pie, but wished to give them warming
that they would contribute to the de-
tendency of any boy under is years of
age whom they served. 1t was ex-
planned that they might be summoned
by the juvenile court for allowing boys
under is years of age to frequent their

TAMMANY HALL FOUNDED
AS BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
Great Political Organization
Originally Much Different

Pretty much everybody in these days
knows that Tammany Hall is political
organization in New York city which is
charged with all kinds of corruption
and guilty of most of them. Probably
very few people know the origin of the
organization, which was long ago COM
mendable in every sense says the Utica
Press. The name comes from Tam
many, a Delaware chieftain, who is said
to have lived to be 100 years old, and a
good many virtues were accorded him,
so that he was facetiously called ST.
Tammany, and in those days societies
were organized in New York, PhiladeI-
phia and other places in honor of St.
Tammany but only that in New York
city survived for any considerable
length of time
The metropolitan association was in
augurated May IL, 1889, and had for it's
object "perpetuity of democratic-repub
lican institutions and the benevolent
care of revolutionary soldiers and 9TH
ers of its members, their widows and
orphans and others who may be proper
objects of their charity 1t was an
amalgamation of the Sons Of Liberty
and the Sons of st. Tammany.
The organization at the outset had
the best of intentions It adopted In
dian titles and ceremonies, calling the
place of meeting a wigwam, the presi-
monies sycamore, and the sergeant at
arms wiskinskie. It's motto was
Freedom Our Rock" 1T had great
banquets at which patriotic sentiments
were responded to eloquently. It was
through these public dinners that most
of the policies of the organization were
announced. Tammany espoused the
cause OF French liberty at a dinner
May u, 1893. 1t supported the govern
ment in the war of 1912. 1t was active
In 1919 in launching the Andrew Jack
son boom for the presidency. and in
February of that year gave dinner in
his honor 1t supported Jackson in 1928
and gave him 5000 majority out of a
vote of $4,000. In the civil war 1T sent
a regiment to the front.
Tammany began to fall into dis
repute under Tweeds leadership. When
Samuel j. Tilden enforced reforms the
organization regained public confidence
for a time, only to lose it again under
Croker and to fall to still lower depths
under Murphy. Tammany as an organ
ization has rendered very important
service to the nation, but in bad hands
and leadership 1t is no longer held in
confidence and respect by the public
and must either reform or eventually
ose its influence in public affairs

FRIENDSHIP TO ALL
IS GERMAN POLICY
Chancellor Declares Adventnr=
ous Aims Dangerous to Peace
:
Are Not Entertained

BERLIN, Dec 10.-Addressing the
Reichstag again today, Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg reviewed briefly
Germany's foreign relations.
English statesmen, among them Pre-
mier Asquith, in recent speeches had
defined the establishment of good rela-
tions between Great Britain and Ger
many as an important task of states
manship, the chancellor said, and he
added that the true interests of both
countries would be served to the extent
that they approached each other in a
realization of these aims.
WAR POLICY DIsCLAIMED
The cancellor referred to the, friend
ship between Russia and Germany; to
the steadfastness of the triple alliance
and to the Moroccan agreement with
France.
In conclusion he said that certain
circles endeavored to make 1t appear
that Germany had adventurous aims
dangerous to the worlds peace and
declared that such aims were unknown
in Germany.
Herr Won Schoen, secretary for for
eign affairs, took occasion to express
man criticism of Count Bernstorff,
German ambassador to the United
States.
AMBASSADOR DEFENDED.
ITO the responsibilities of our repre-
sentatives abroad belongs the duty OF
opposing imputations against our
policy where it is observable that they
injure our interests" said Won Schoen-
Our representatives have received a
general instruction to repel such suspi-
eions of our policy by their personal
authority and by public speeches.
1T certainly has not escaped your
notice that public opinion in America
has been melted against German. Re-
peated endeavors have been made to
arouse distrust of Germany by describ-
ing our policy as directed toward war
with England and also that we look
towards America with the aim of
founding great colonial empire in
the south of Brazil
Count Won Bernstorff undertook to
destroy the specter of German
colonial empire in South America"

Holds During Pleasure

The charter affords the chief engi-
neer of the fire department even less
protection than that thrown around the
chief of police. who is elected for a
term of four years. 1t has been judi
clally determined that the chief en-
gineer holds only during the pleasure
of appointing power. That means that
1t would be unnecessary for the COM
mtssioners to go through even the
empty form of bearing charges.
McCluskey has been in the depart
ment for many years and has splendid
record. His family and personal con-
nections are legion and the legion is
out for him strong. McCluskey has
disaffirmed any personal activity in
the matter. insisting that he knows
nothing of the movement in his behalf
and less about politics.
