School gardens at first blush seem
like a harmless fad to keep school
children out Of mischief. Yet they
should add greatly to the sum Of USE
full knowledge and perhaps skill At
least they give an opportunity to a
youngster so inclined to learn the &c.
crets Of the soil, Of vegetation and pro-
duction. The net results Of school gar
dens in way Of profit have only Il local
stead Of profit the balance sheet would
be as satisfactory as that Of any other
branch of public education. The whole
system is perhaps one Of sowing blind
ly for an uncertain harvest, but now
and then a farmer tries to use city bred
muscle because country bred is not to
be had. II he gets a graduate OF the
school garden he may at least expect
a helper who knows that potatoes, on
ions and radishes grow at the foot Of
the stalk and not on top. He will also
be broken in to wedding and will know
that stones are not good fertilizers.
1t would be poor judgment to bank
heavily upon the efficiency Of our or
ganiZed militia or national guard for
a big war emergency. At the anne
time it is unwise to the verge of fool
ishness to decry the service value of
the guard and militia establishments.
They represent military organization
which has been put to the test and in
several of the states Il latent esprit du
corps which only needs opportunity to
vitalize the whole force. In the ranks
and behind them as retired or dis
charged guardsmen are upward OF 800
600 mel who have been broken to mil
itary discipline and drilled in the A B
G Of soldiering-yes, even to the Fourth
reader. Rifle practice, army maneu-
vers and state camps have given to
these amateurs everything which var
service can give except tho match
game with the enemy. Trust the first
law Of nature to help the novice
through that ordeal.

HOT SHOTS FROM
SUNDAYS SERMONS

The mother knows God so much
better than any one else; it is man
who tries to measure God by the tape
line of his puny understanding.
She has done her prayerful best
and when you have done that you can
bank on it that God will not fail you
If God Almighty struck dead those
who haven't prayed today most of you
would drop from your seats right into
the sawdust on the floor Of this taber-
nacle.
God always does things at the right
time Give God chance; He may be
a little slow at times, but He will al
ways get around in time.
Fathers often give up. The old man
often goes to boozing, becomes dissi-
pated. takes a dose of poison and COM
mits suicide; but the mother will stand
by the home and keep the little band
together if she has to manicure her
finger nails over a washboard to keep
the brood out of the poorhouse.
If you want to find greatness, don't
go toward the throne; go to the cradle,
and the nearer you get to the cradle
the nearer to greatness.
When God sends us great men He
wants to have them get the right kind
of a start. So He sees to 1t that they
get a good mother. Most any old
stick will do for daddy. God is par
ticular about the mothers.
II every mother would rock her own
baby the world would be much better.
II every mother did as she should OF
as the Bible taught, the preachers and
the police would have little to do.
Talk about greatness! Oh, you wait
until you reach the mountains OF
eternity, then read the mothers names
in Gods hall Of fame, and see who
they have been in this world.
How do you know but that the
angels watch your work with as much
interest as they watched Moses
mother train that boy?

SAYS REPORT SHOWS
WATER POWER TRUST
Clifford Pinchot Draws Attention to
the Charges Made by Sec
rotary Houston.

Clifford Pinchot, president of the Ma
tional Conservation Association, who
is in New York, has made public
through the Washington Office of the
association, in the Munsey building. a
statement drawing attention to the re-
port on water power made to the Sen
ate by the Secretary of Agriculture.
Mr. Pinchot says that the report,
which charges that monopoly OF con-
troll of water powers and water power
sites exists in the United States estab-
fishes every contention as to the water
power situation made by the conser-
walton asSocia ton
"On January 90 Mr.. Pinchot says
in his statement. Secretary Houston
report was referred to the Senate COM
-mittee on printing.
There is grave danger that its publica-
ton will be held up until too late to af-
feet legislation now before Congress. The
revelations of the report as to the growth
of monopoly in water power and the facts
as to development are so damaging to the
water power interests that serious efforts
will be made to smother it
Mr.. Pinchot recites some of the de-
tails of the report, announced last
week, at the time it was made to the
Senate. He says it completely and
plausible argument of the water-power
grabbers. They have everywhere as
serted that the refusal to give them
valuable public property forever and
for nothing was discouraSing capital
and preventing development. Now comes
Houston's report and destroys
their claim officially and conclusively."

DESIGNATED AS CHOICE
FOR CONVENTION HONOR
Harry Wardman and DR.. Price Pre-
ferred by Republican League as
Delegates to Chicago.

]. Finley Wilson, president of the Re-
publican League of the District of Column
bia, presided at a meeting Of that or
ganzation held last night at the Second
Baptist Church. The meeting was called
for the purpose of notifying Harry Ward
man and DIR. p. w. Price of their selec-
ton as the choice of the league to serve
as delegates to the republican national
convention in June. Mr.. Wardman was
unable to attend the meeting last night
however, and the notification will be made
next Wednesday night.
A feature of the meeting was an adj
dress by Rev. S. l.. Carrothers, who de-
clared that every presidential candidate
this year will be quizzed as to what he
intends to do for the colored race in
event of his election.
"One of Them he said, already has
declared that if elected he will appoint
colored man postmaster at Atlanta, Ga"
The minister advised his hearers that
the time for action to assist the colored
race has arrived.
Aaron Bradshaw, one of the numerous
candidates for delegate to the convention,
was invited to address the assemblage.
He registered an objection to any inter-
ference in District politics On the part Of
the republican national committee, and
said he felt certain that the league will
not be influenced by that body.

BRING NORTH CAROLINA PINE.
First Schooners Arrive in Washing
ton in Several Weeks.

Laden with a full cargo of pine lum-
Der from Newbern, n. c, the three
masted schooner May and Anna Bes-
wick of the Wimsatt feet arrived in
port yesterday and berthed at the 18th
street wharf to unload. The Beswick
is the first of the North Carolina lum-
ber fleet to arrive here in several
weeks. but it is expected she will be
followed closely by the schooner
Charles ]. Rohde with lumber from
Norfolk, and the schooner Mabel and
Ruth is about due to leave Newbern
for this city with lumber.
On her way from Norfolk to Newbern
the Beswick ran ashore in the mouth OF
the Neuse river and had to lay there
for several days waiting the coming
of easterly weather. so that the tides
would make high enough to float her.
When a full tide did come she was
hoated and went to Newbern. where it
was found she had broken her rudder.
This required stay of week or long
er on a marine railway before she could
start taking her cargo aboard.
