HARDING OUTLINES
POLICIES HE FAVORS

Less government in business and
more business in government is the
slogan sounded by President-elect
Warren G. Harding in a signed arti-
Gle appearing in the current issue of
The Worlds Work. In his discussion,
Senator Harding tells of the need for
a closer understanding between busi-
ness and government and relates the
economic benefits which he thinks
will follow such cooperation.
I'VE have had too much govern
ment in business" he writes. Il mean
by this that on the one hand we have
allowed our Government to engage
too much in enterprises which it has
bungled and which American business
can do better, safer and cheaper and
on the other hand we have had too
much ineffective tinkering with our
economic structure.
"As to this latter, l do not mean
that government should let business.
alone in the sense that it should al
low practices which are inconsistent
with American standards of honor
and fair play. On the contrary l
would urge that the regulation of our
business, when regulation becomes
necessary, should be not less but
more effective than it has ever been.
Nothing could be more deplorable,
however, than substituting, as we have
substituted, quantity of laws for quail
ity of laws, as if the thickness of our
statute books were a measure of wise
legislation.
Business Not Privilege Seeking
american business is not a selfish
monster. The agi-
tator who so describes it, and the
statesman who treats it with abuse
and suspicion, forget that American
business is the daily labor of the
whole people and the clothes upon
their backs and three meals a day.
ITO put our business upon a sound
foundation we need, believe, the
policy 1 have suggested and here set
forth:
I'VE must repeal and wipe out
mass of executive orders and laws
which, falling to serve effectively to
prevent profteering and unfair prac-
tices, serve only to leave American
business drifting and afraid.
I'VE must readjust our tariff, and
this time with especial regard for the /
new economic menaces to our Ameri- I
can agriculture as well as to our Am I
erican factories. We must readjust /
our internal taxation to remove the /
burdens it imposes upon the will to I
create and produce, whether that will .
IS the will of the big corporation or /
Of the individual"

PASTOR WINS SUIT

Rev. DR.. John McElmoyle, pastor of
Elkton, Nd, Presbyterian Church last
week, won his appeal to the Synod of
Baltimore from the decision of the
New Castle Presbytery dissolving his
pastoral relations with the Elkton
Church.
In the controversy between him and
the Elkton Church there had figured
the many marriages DR.. McElmoyle
had performed for couples who went
to Elkton to be welded because of
the ease with which marriage licenses
could be obtained there. Wednesday
morning of last week the Synodical
commission which heard his appeal
reported, vindicating him by sustain
ing it and the Synod approved the re-
port.
The commission reported the elders
Of the Elkton Church elected by the
congregation, and not those antagon-
istic to the minister, are the lawful
officials. 1t also decided he had not
been properly cited before the pres
bytery. It is said the presbytery err
ed in not properly notifying him. The
Synod stayed the removal.

A VOICE FROM CALIFORNIA

when we observe the methods of
those who have really achieved in the
dairy business we will find, in every
instance, that success was made pos
sible through the application of COM
mon sense rules of cleanliness and
sanitation. Clean, wholesome dairy
products are the best advertisements,
and any infraction of those automat-
ic first principles will work to the
dairyman's disadvantage and render
it difficult to repair the damage
wrought.
"Dairymen are, as a rule, in the
business to make a success of it,
and there is no single factor that will
promote business faster than the pro-
duction of clean, wholesome products.
The wide distribution of tubercu-
losis among our animal population
causes serious losses annually. When
the dairy herd becomes infected there
eventually is a reduction in the milk
supply and many COWS finally die of
the disease"

CIDER MAKERS Be CAREFUL
B0YCE WILL GET YOU If ALCOHOL
CONTENT is ABOVE LIMIT,

Aroused by reports that too much
hard cider is being sold throughout
Delaware, w. Truxton Boyce, Federal
Prohibition Director, on Tuesday issu-
ed the following ukase:
MANY complaints have come to my
notice of late of persons getting
drunk on hard cider in the rural sec
tons of the, State. want it under
stood that the sale of cider contain
ing more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol is as much a violation
of the prohibition lays as the sale OF
whiskey.
This notice is final, and no further
warning will be issued. Anyone who
sells cider or wines of any kind con-
tanning more than one half of one per
cent of alcohol in the future will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law"
Under the law cider may be made
and drank so long as it is sweet, or
it may be turned into vinegar. Nor is
there any law to prevent one from
drinking homemade cider which may
have acquired an alcoholic content
above that specified in the Nolstead
act. Both the Federal and State stat
utes, however, expressly forbid sales
of such cider for beverages purposes.

HONOLULU, Oct. 16 (by Associat, ed Press. )-One Caucasian American pupil enrolled in freshman class of 100 at the territorial normal school when it opened for the fall term, The remainder of the cass was made up as follows: Is Hawaiians; 37 part Hawaiians; IS Chinese; 17 Portu- guese and 12 Japanese.
 A feature of the opening of the normal term was the heavy decline in the number of Japanese registered, due, according to Principal Edgar Wood, to the campaign recently start ed to do away with dual-citizenship amongg teachers in the territory and establish in it's place 100 per cent American teaching force. As against the 12 Japanese freshmen who reg istered for this fall term, there were 65 last year.
