A yINDIcATIoN OF THE SOUTH
CONTINUED from page one).

of the very earliest moment, at
which the constitutional restriction
ceased to be operative, passed an
act prohibiting the importation of
slaves, into any part of the United
States, from and after the first day
of January, 1903. This was passed
with great unanimity. In the House
of Representatives, there were one
hundred and thirteen (113) yeas to
five (5) nays; and it is significant
fact, as showing the absence of any
sectional division of sentiment at
that period, that the five dissenti-
ments were divided as equally as
possible between the two sections;
two of them were from Northern
and three of them from Southern
States.
The distinction between the dis
tribution, or dispersion, of slaves
and the extension of slavery-two
things altogether different, although
so generally confounded, was early
and clearly drawn, under circum-
stances which we will now discuss.
In 1719-20, occurred the memor-
able contest, with regard to the ad-
mission into the Union of Missouri,
the second State carved out of the
Louisiana Territory. The controver-
sy arose out of a proposition to at
tach to the admission of the new
State, a proviso prohibiting slavery
or involuntary servitude therein.
The vehement discussion that en-
sued was continued into the first
session of different Congress from
that, in which it originated, and
agitated the whole country during
the interval between the two. 1t
was the first question that ever seri-
ously threatened the stability of the
Union, and the first in which the
sentiment of opposition to slavery,
in the abstract, was introduced as
an adjunct of sectional controversy.
1t was clearly shown in debate, that
such considerations were altogether
irrelevant; that the number of ex-
listing sic rs would not be affected
by their -,cmoval; from the older
States to Missouri; and, moreover,
that the proposed restriction would
be contrary to the spirit, if not to
the letter, of the Constitution. Not
withstanding all this, the restriction
was adopted, by a vote almost
strictly sectional, in the House Of
Representatives. It failed in the
Senate through the firm resistance
of the Southern, aided by a few
patriotic and conservative Northern
members of that body. The admis-
sion of the new State, without any
restriction, was finally accomplished
by the addition to the bill, of Sec
ton forever prohibiting slavery. in
all that portion Of the Louisiana
Territory, lying north of thirty-six
degrees and thirty minutes, north
latitude, except Missouri-by impli.
cation leaving the portion south Of
that line open to settlement, either
with or without slaves.
This provision, as an Offset to the
admission of the new State without
restriction, constituted the celebrat-
ed Missouri Compromise. 1t was
reluctantly accepted by a small ma
jority of the Southern members.

Tabooing Greek and Latin.

There is no question but some
parts of the high school curricu-
lum are due to tradition rather
than to any practical use. Boys
and girls spend t m e which
should be devoted to learning
something useful in examining
their minds with knowledge
which is of no practical benefit
to them, and which therefore
will be forgotten. The things
that we learn and remember are
the things that we learn and
use. Latin and Greek, for in
stance, while being good for
mental discipline, are no better
for that purpose thar would be
modern languages. That they
are retained in the study course
today is merely due to the fact
that they were in the courses
that the fathers had. We need
occasionally to break away from
the traditions of the elders
and take an intelligent survey of
things-and such a survey can
find no place for Latin and Greek
and some other things in a high
school course, while it does re-
veal the necessity of some prac-
tical studies of immediate help
to the boys and girls in their
daily lives, which these less use
full things are crowding out.
There's a true element of pro
gressiveness in the fact that there
exists a nationwide movement
to place a restraint upon the
teaching of Greek and Latin.

More Houses Needed.

There is a great deal of truth
in a statement made by a prom
inent citizen a few days ago
overheard in passing, that if
Cafrizozo had plenty of houses
its population wogld be increased
500. This mans estimate may
be a little large, but to say two
or three hundred would be con
sentative. There is a constant
demand for rent houses of the
better type, and the man with
money to invest who puts up de
sirable rent houses in Carrizozo
will not only assure himself a
profitable income, but will be a
public benefactor a S well, a
double role that any good citizen
may well covet for himself.

Nc Chance for "Slackers'

A New York man expressed
the opinion that many would
hesitate to join the army for fear
the ''slackers" will win all the
desirable girls while the fighters
are away. In response, ayoung
lady who is evidently of the
desirable class, gives assuran-
ce that no patriotic young wo-
man will receive the attentions
of a Stacker" Perhaps here
is a new test of the patriotism
of the ladies.

President Wilson'S determine.
ton to have Congress pass the
army bill providing for the Sc
lective draft Is not born of Stub
bornness nor from a desire to be
a dictator, but because he knows
II is right. He realizes that the
good Of the nation demands that
the War Department shall not
have to wait on the slow and un-
certain process of gathering an
army by the volunteer system.
One does not have to be in Wash
ington nor to be much of a stu
dent of history to know that thi
is true. He has only to look
about him at the young men who
might enlist and notice the rela-
lively small number of those who
show any willingness to do so.
Now, as always during his ad-
ministration, the President is
working for his country when he
tries to compel Congress to ac-
cept his legislative progress.

The Nations Flag.

The symbol of a nation is its
flag. The symbol of the United
States is Old Glory, the Stars
and Stripes. The honor of a ma
ton is the honor of its flag. The
Stars and Stripes protect citi-
zens of the United States from
foes within and enemies without.
1t should be respected by all for
it guarantees to every citizen,
humble as well as influential,
liberty, equality, freedom, JUS
lice. The United States had its
birth in 1776. In June of that
year a committee of Congress
accompanied by General George
Washington, called upon Betsy
Ross, an upholsterer who had a
shop at 80, now 239 Arch street,
Philadelphia. Betsy Ross agreed
t. make the Nations flag from a
rough drawing, which, at her
suggestion, was redrawn by
Washington in pencil in her back
parlor. The flag was the first
Star Spangled Banner that ever
iloated on the breeze. 1t had -
stars, representing the original
- states and alternate red and
white stripes. When Great
Britain acknowledged the indie
pendence Of the United States Of
America, the Stars and Stripes
were thenceforth recognized as
the flag of the New Nation. 1t
was formally adopted as the
national emblem by a resolution
of the Continental Congress on
the l4th of June, l776. Congress
again discussed the Nations flag
in 1918 and on April 4th of that
year passed the following reso-
luton: That from and after
the 4th day of July next, the
flag of the United States be 10
horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the Union have
20 white stars in a blue field;
that on the admission of every
new state one star be added. "
The white on the flag represents
PURITY; red, VALOR, blue,
JUSTICE. At the present time
there are AZ stars on the Nations
flag, symbolizing as states IN the
Union. The device Pluri-
bus Unum" - (Latin) means,
Many in One many states in
one Federal Government.

CALOMEL

Vegetable calomel, extract of the

plant, does not salivate. AS a liver
stimulator, it's great. It's a per-

because its action is gentle instead
of severe and irritating - and it
leaves no mean, disagreeable after

SlaSheS Miss Catherine
Eckenrode

Gettysburg, Pa, Jan. 10. - Arthur
Cunningham, a rejected suitor. last
evening cut the throat of q young
girl on the front step at her home in
South Washington street. Young
Cunningham, who is Is years old, for
some time has been calling on Miss
Catherine Eckenrode, q school girl,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Eckenrode, but the girl herself, and
her parents, objected to his atten-
tions.
Last evening Cunningham called at
the Eckenrode home and the sum-
mons brought the girls sister to the
door and she told him he was unwel-
come. He insisted on seeing Gather
inc, and when she came to the door
and told him she did not wish to talk
to him, he took q penknife from his

the girls throat for several inches,
missing tie jugular vein and wind

Cunningham then ran into the
street, but realizing what he had done
he went back to the door and told
