Let Us Have a Rest.

Senator Hoke Smith and Congress
man Bankhead have introduced a
bill in Congress for Federal aid to
education, calling for ali apprcpria-
ton every year CT s12,50O,OO0 for
paying salaries of teachers, directors,
etc, and of $75O,OOO year for the
preparation of same. Years ago
when Bob Taylor was a candidate
for Governor he was condemned for
espousing the Republican doctrine 81
Federal aid to education. AS to that
feature of the proposition it seems
like splitting straws, but that the
Federal Government should add tax
ction for education when the States,
many of them, are already taxed to
the limit, is not very encouraging
1T the present time when taxes are
downright burdonsome. The States
ere really able to take care of this
work and should, without regard to
the political aspect of the question,
be responsible foI the education OF
their citizens. Tennessee allows for
school purposes one-third or nearly
one-half of its taxes. If that is not
enough it is not the fault of public
education, but of the management
of the system. Moro taxes would not
remedy the matter. There is such a
thing of OVERRIDING gcod work.
Libcrality often opens the way for
temptation, and we believe Tennes-
see is now top heavy in school mat
tiers. There should be more atten-
ton to rural schools and less to the
normals. The Government and the
States are running race for bu-
reauracy, and about the only man
we know of who is bucking it is
Governor Roberts. We arc with him,
tooth and toe nail. There is no rea-
son under the sun why public Off
Gals should not be made to earn
their money. ..-.
We trust Congress will turn this
educational bill down, or if there is
need for it to postpone the matter
until a more suspicious time.

Upon being interviewed in Brussels
concerning his proposed visit to the

the following message to America:
'This will be my first trip across the
Atlantic, but to me it seems that l. am
going to visit old friends. From the
beginning of the war l realized that
Americans were friends of Belgium.
American public opinion in those early
DAYS saved Belgium even greater suf-
fering than that which she had to en-
dure. When Mr.. Hoover established
! the commission for relief the people OF
occupied Belgium had real evidence OF
Americas friendship.
A eff it had not been for American
foodstuffs the United States army
would, upon arrival have found in
Belgium only bones of starved women,
children and old men, a monument to
the cruelty of an enemy of God and
man. Belgians have much to thank
the American people for and view it
as an honor that I am to have the op-
portunity to thank America in person
