Compulsory. School. Attendance

Not an arrest has been made in
Frederick in the enforcement of the
compulsory school attendance law.
Truant Officer Russell Stockman,
when seen alst night, showed a large
list OF truants who will likely be line1
up and marched to school in the next
day or so. Mr. Stockman is getting
"a line" on the truants, their loafng
places and their general habits, be-
tore he launches into wholesale raid.
Although the first census figures
showed that there was a comparative
ly small number OF truants in Fred
erick, Mr. Stockman learned yester-
day that there is in reality quite q
large number. This is especially true
OF the negroes OF the city.
There was a rush for enrolment in
colored schools when the School
Board announced that the compulsory
school attendance law would be en-
forced.
Daily Report OF AbsenteeS.
In order to cover the city thorough
" il is likely that Mr.. Stockman viii
ask for daily report Of absentees.
That is the only possible way in
which I can know of children who are
not in school" he said. i know only
few Of truants by face and they
would be out of school week with
out me knowing it unless the prin-
cipals notified me at once"
Grade Supervisor Harshman, who is
the county truant officer, has not
made any arrests. The officers are
depending on today's meeting OF the
Frederick County School Commission
ers when final plans will be made.

Thanksgiving Dinner for the Pocr

1 Thanksgiving Dinner for the Poor
! If the public co-operates the poor
of Frederick will be given a Thanks
giving dinner this year by the Ameri-
can Rescue Workers Captain Waiter
G. Lamont, in charge of the work in
Frederick, said yesterday evening
that it was his intention to provide
for the poor and needy of Frederick if
funds permitted. He declared that the
extent of this dinner would be con.
trolled entirely BY the amount of the
contributions.
Tentative plans have been drafted
by the Captain for a Christmas din
ner. Those in charge of the branch
in Frederick have been making a
thorough canvass for funds to finance
both the Thanksgiving and Christmas
dinners. but without any very encour-
aging results.
To Establish Soup Kitchen.
During the winter months of the
year Captain Lamont will establish
soup kitchen. Phe plans for this feat
ure have only been partially arran gad,
yet it is believed that such depart
ment can be secured in the city 20
care for those who are unable to Sc
cure work and food.
Accounts of the Captain showed last
evening that Frederick contributes Z
very small portion for the support OF
the work in the CITY. The outlvlng

ty have in some cases. made large
contributions

Paying the Income Tax
By WILLIS J. ABBOT.

a S to this income tax, I'm for
~ it. In my day I've made
scores of speeches, written
acres of articles in its favor, and
| exulted when it was made law.
l always expected to pay it my
self wasn't one Of these people
so generally sneered at who were
for the tax because they didn't
have the income. I only wish l
had to pay a bigger tax, if the
bigger income accompanied it.
But the gentlemen who formu-
lated this tax law seemed to go
out of their way to make paying
hard, for even willing payers
received my blanks the other day
and sat down to fill them out. The
jolts began.
By way of earning living I
write books, magazine and news
paper articles. My only stock in
trade, like that of any lawyer,
doctor or other professional man,
is my life, health and brain. Two
of these fortunately being in
surable commodities / protect by
life, accident and disability insur-
ance. The annual premiums
amount to about s1,500 a year,
steady charge on my income.
Insurance of this sort wasn't spe-
officially mentioned in the blank
But talking with a friend who
draws his income from a sawmill
| learned that his premiums for
fire insurance were deducted from
his net taxable income; why not
then mine on the mental machin-
cry which runs my shop?
But the man behind the coun-
ter at the collectors Office was
cold. Life insurance premiums
don't go" said he laconically.
Thus the Government encour-
ages sawmills and other mills
including the gin variety-by ex-
empting from taxation the in
come expended in insuring them.
But the income "A man disburses
in insuring his life, or his physi-
cal capacity TO do his work, is
taxed. On my s1,500 paid out for
Insurance | pay the Government
an additional $1j tax; on the
$4,000. or more, in premiums my
friend pays TO protect his machin-
cry he pays no tax at all-and
moreover passes that charge on
in the price Of his goods to the
purchaser. / think / see an edi-
tor standing for an extra charge
Of half a cent a word because ]

year,

further questioned recommends a

TO beseech the privilege of pay

The Trial of Warren Hastings

TINE trial of Warren Hast
ings which began 1875 years
ago. will probably ever re-
main the most memorable an the
annals of British jurisprudence.
The speech of Sheridan, the
most electrical in its effect, per
haps of any that was ever deliv-
cred by man: Burke's almost su-
perhuman Grafton. closing with
the never to- be forgotten words:
Therefore hath it with all conf
dence been ordered by the Com
mons Of Great Britain that / ina
peach Warren Hastings of high
crimes and misdemeanors;" the
atmosphere of solemnity pervad
ing the place. which was intensi-
fed rather than weakened by the
deep murmurs of the various
emotions of the assembly. and in
the midst OF it all Hastings him
self, calpa as the Sphinx, with the
look of confidence which seemed
to say, Come one, come all, this
rock shall fly from it's firm base
as soon as l." furnished a picture
the like of which II is impossible

more waves enter the eye than
if the body is going away on a
straight line.
Now the exceedingly refined
measuring instrument, the spec
troscope, when attached to a
huge telescope, is able to meas
ure this excess and dimnution of
waves of light The good folks
in Arabian times never imagined
any fantastic thing comparable
with this scientific reality. For
waves measured range from
lengths in between $4,000 to 63.-
O0O to the inch. that are visible;
while the Embellishments, in con-
junction with the spectroscope.
deals with waves still shorter, so
short that no eye can see them.
but still visible to molecules Of
chemicals on very sensitive and
rapid films and plates.
The degree of accuracy is far
greater than that of a carpenter
measuring the length of a board.
And these suns are ali in motion
ordinarily in between limits of 4
TO so miles per second. But a few
suns, in a select class all by
themselves, move from 1875 TO 200
miles during each second OF time.
The paths of suns when flying
singly and alone in lnterminable
space are not called orbits, for
the paths of bees I'm swarm

was triumphantly acquitted OF the
high crimes and misdemeanors'
Of which, seven years before,
Burke had, in such dramatic
fashion. accused him in the au-
gust name of the Commons of
England.
Long ago as all this was, its
moral is still fresh and pertinent.
Warren Hastings was the very
accomplished and most capable
tool of a system of exploitation
that is still by no means extinct
among men. Hastings was at one
and the same time innocent and
guilty He was, in a word. Just
as innocent and just as guilty as
the Government that put him on
trial.
II that Government had the
moral right to be in India then
Hastings was entitled to claim
that ne was innocent of any
charge Of crime, since he was
simply the Governments agent in
carrying out its Indian program.
The worst that can be said OF
Hastings is that in a most mas
terly way he played the great
game'acoording TO the rules Of the
day--and It would have been a
piece of rank injustice to have
punished him for doing the very
things he was ordered and ex-
pected TO do,
