CANAL TOLL
BATTLE SEEN
Many G. o. P. Representa-
lives Expected to Oppose
Harding Exemption Plan.
BURTON AGAINST IDEA
Former Ohio Senator, Now
Member of House, Frank
ly Antagonistic.
BURTON AGAINST IDEA

The proposal of President elect
Harding to exempt American ships
from the payment of Panama Canal
tolls will meet with stubborn oppo-
sition from some members of his
own party in Congress. Insistence
by Harding upon the policy of toll
: free favor for American vessels,
pledged in the Republican platform
and advocated vigorously by the
candidate throughout
his campaign, is more than likely
Ito revive the bitter debates of the
! nrst Wilson administration, which
made the question of Panama Canal
tolls an international ISSUE
So All this Is becoming apparent
through the attitude of several
prominent Republicans. including
Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio. former
Senator, who returns to Congress
in March as a member of the House.
Burton, with Elihu Root and Sena-
tor Lodge as members Of the For
eigns Relations Committee of the
Senate, had much to do with the
support given President Wilson
when he insisted that American
ships should pay the same tolls for
the use OF the Panama waterway as
paid by foreign vessels. Burton
frankly Acknowledged that his atti-
tude on the subject had not chang
Cd. To be consistent with the view
he has always taken. that an equal
rights policy should be pursued
EteA al international highways.
BErton said he did not believe he
could favor a program of exemption
for american ships.
Burton's comments on the Panama
ceret controversy were made yes
t4slay in the course of an informal
discussion Of the problems confront
Ing the new executive and the new
Congress. In disclosing his attitude
on the canal tolls, Burton was care
full to disclaim any intention of SEEM
ing antagonism to Harding or give
the impression that the issue would
be forced. The former Ohio Senator
merely sought to express a view
consistent with his record while a
member Of the Senate.
On the league of nations issue
Burton goes along with the Presi-
dent-elect.
Discussing recent reports that he
might be a candidate for the Speak
ership against Senator Gillet. Bur-
ton said he had given the question
no consideration and certainly was
not an avowed candidate.
= Reapportionment of Congressional
representation on the basis of the
1920 census is another question en-
gaging Burton's attention, and II a
bill fixing the membership of the
new House is not enacted at the
coming short session, any attempt to
Increase the membership will find a
foe in Burton. THE present House
is too big" he said.

avenues objection to the overall pa
rade through that street last week.
At all events those prophets OF
disaster, who foresee a clothing
market gone to the devil, thousands
of businesses ruined, the price of
suits tail-spinning to the 3ow level as
a consequence, are bit early IN
their predictions. The most that can
be hoped is a slackening in demand
temporarily, which may bring prices
down a bit, but nothing near normal.
Too many men in the South have al
ready either had their summer suit
delivered or else contracted for it to
receive even temporary relief. Just
so long as conditions remain as they
are-people willing to pay the prices
demanded an overall parade as long
as the Lincoln Highway will have no
effect except, probably, 70 raise the
price of the overalls to the working
man who uses them in his business.
The latest reported price OF the one
piece overall in New York is $3.50,
which five years ago would buy a
fairly decent cool cloth suit.
Apropos of the. blue denim drive
followed so closely by the Carry
Your-Own Lunch movement in the
cities someone has suggested that
we had better prepare for the fol-
lowing fads:
Grind your own coffee beans.
Reweave that old cigar butt.
Smoke that cigarette down to the
firing pin.
Don't throw away that chewing
gum. Have it refiavored.
Never discard oyster shells. Send
them to the sea to be eflled.
Cut your own hair.
Make one bathing suit do for your
self and. wife.
Add more water to the near-beer.
Naked came ye into the WORLD
and naked shall We 60 out, says the
Scripture. And if the clothing
prices 20 any higher naked shall ye
spend the intervening period.

ROSEMARY FOR OLD BILL

Three hundred years ago last Fri
day Shakespeare had been dead -four
years, and his fame was known in
few quarters and in the memories
of his fellow actors. Today his fame
has become an artistic tradition
from which writer's of both prose
and verse cannot free themselves.
The manner which came naturally
to him is artificial since then. There
will never be another William
Shakespeare and it is sufficient
that the influence of 'the bard of
Stratford" still continues to daily
give pleasure and encouragement to
countless millions. May the request
contained in his epitath continue to
be respected.

BACK TO HONEY.

Texas is at present sending out a
deal of propaganda regarding sub
stitute for 35 cent sugar which is
predicted for July 1. That this pro-
phecy is not without foundation 1t
NAV be stated that such prediction
was made Saturday by the Austin
Nichols Co., wholesale grocerymen
of New York, with whom number
of our local grocery firms deal. One
hundred dollar suits have their over
alls. dollar butter has its olomarga-
rine, but the general public has as
yet found no satisfactory substitute
for 35-cent sugar. Texas asserts
that it has found that substitute by
producing last year 19 million
pounds of honey. The Lone Star
State also states that sugar did not
always exist. The first mention OF it
as a northern European commodity
was in the early fourteenth CEN
tury when the price was exactly "a
1-2 cents a pound. This price in, say
1920 meant an equivalent of dollars
today. We have not yet gone back
to the high prices Of sugars initia-
ton. Sugar six hundred years ago
was rare luxury and medicine.
Honey was the standard sweetener,
as it has long been in the Orient.
Honey was used in cookery, wine,
ale, medicine, etc., to the exclusion
of sugar until coffee and tea grad
ually brought in sugar and the latter
became so cheap as to drive honey
off the market. In 100 England
used only ten-thousand tons Of su
gar. The same country IN 1900 used
more than a hundred times that
amount.
Just now honey is selling for 23-
cents pound against the predicted
S5-cent sugar. Bee-men say the
United States does not produce
more than one per cent of It's poten-
tial production Of the melliflulous
"sweetening." Chemists also tell US
that honey does not have the bad ef'
feet on the teeth that sugar does.
However, if honey in coffee has the
same effect upon our stomaches that
we recall honey and hot biscuits
once had, we'll have none Of it.

RIVERS AND HARBORS
TO GET MORE MONEY
Senate Passes Bill After Total Ii
Made Twenty-Four Million
Dollars

Washington, Apr. 27.-The rivers
and harbors bill was passed today by
the senate after it had been amended
so as to make the total s24,000,000
as against the '$12,000,000 in the
house bill and s20,0O0,000 recon
mended by the senate committee.
The measure which was approved
without a record vote now goes to
conference where a sharp fight is ex-
pected.
Both the senate and house agreed
to the general principle of a lump
sum appropriation rather than
specific grants for the various pro-
jects. No new work was authorized.
At the request of Senator Reed,
Democrat, Senator Harrison, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi sought early in
the day to amend the bill so as to
make the total S27, 100000, but this
was defeated. 26 to %. Senator Har-
rison then proposed S24,OO0,000,
which was accepted after long dis
cussion, the vote being "a to %.

OVERALLS FOR PARADE?

If the overall is simply to be. adj
ded to the wardrobe, for use in over
all parades, we shall raise the price
of the workingman's daily jeans and
accomplish nothing more. And if
they are to be worn as a protection
to fine raiment the saving will not
be appreciable for some time to come.
If the overall is to be of service in
bringing down the prices Of clothing
it will have to take the place of
something more expensive, and that
something would naturally be the
regular summer suit. Except for the
looks of the thing, and except for
our being bound to the wheel of fash
ion, overalls are equivalent to the
kind of material the millionaire
wears at Palm Beach or Daytona.
One of the sure signs that the
overall drive is accomplishing its
original intent would be a scurry
and manifest uneasiness among the
clothing manufacturers. Is there
opposition among the big clothiers of
the country? Hear what Hart, Schaff-
ner & Marx, one of the largest and
most reliable ready to wear manu-
facturers, say in response to an in
quiry received by them as to their
opinion of the blue denim drive.
Whether with an eye to publicity or
out of mere honesty they lndorse the
idea of the universal wearing of
overalls heartily. In their opinion
"the talk about overalls is all right.
1t makes people think about econo-
my. 1t makes them ANXIOUS to re-
duce the cost of clothes. If man
can wear overalls in his work, that
is a good way to save" A great many
sensible merchants would say the
same thing, but the general attitude
of clothiers was expressed in Fifth

THE ASHEVILLE HOME SCHOOL

The following poem was written
by Miss Elizabeth Raines, student
at the above-named school, and is
reproduced here by request:
There's a grand and glorious Home
School /
That's known over land and sea,
And it's loved by all our students,
But it's dearest to you and me.
Her name shall always finger,
And her girls shall prosperous be,
Till the Chief of all great schools
Has sounded calls for me.
When she's defeated and laid away,
There'l be no one to weep,
For every true Home School girl |
Will be in a peaceful sleep.
The sleep that knows no waking
time |
Here below
But the call that wakes their slumeer
Will be the final blow.
Some few girls were little slow,
But they're all here at last,
And we know there1l be no errors !
When we look back over the past.

And when we ge to fight the battle
At the dear old Home School bay,
With Miss Bundy as our leader
We're su reto win the day.
And when at last the school is over
And we've said our last farewells
To the teachers and Miss Bunny
And those dear old morning bells,
Then We'll boast about old Home

So supreme, sublime and true,
And drink to the health of our dear!

WHICH IS MORE SENSATIONAL? /?

Whenever we have a murder. a
lynching, a suicide, a defaulting
bank cashier, we play it up by put
ting the news item in bold type on
the front page of our papers. Even
when Carpenter, the French pugi-
list steps from the gang plank of
the steamship we make the event an
occasion for many pictures apd much
comment in the newspapers. Yet it
may be questioned whether this is a
true sensation or that all our news
papers which play up these events
are guilty of yellow journalism. We
take such events just as we do a
drama, shedding our tears, perhaps,
those of us who weep, but, after all
investing it with a. quality of illu-
sion. Il
Of all our critics, perhaps, the
British are the most ardent in de-
nouncing what they call our sensa-
tional journals. The London Times,
the acme of all British newspapers
is altogether different. Even though
King. George himself committed sui
eide this evening, the London Times
of tomorrow would not have the
story on the front page. The front
page of The Times is devoted solely
and eternally to advertisements. 1t
has no society ladies, murderers, po-
liticians or athletics menacing us
from it's front page. But the eye of
the habitual Times reader fastens
upon an innocent looking column,
well known to every reader, marked
personal" in ten-point type.
1t looks very much like one, of
our want ad. columns, but it is far
more sensational than the Georgi-
ans front page. Here you find such
things as, "Gerald A. Humps, late
of 10 Bangs-road, county of Surrey"
warns people not to trust his wife,
for he will pay none of her debts.
Here lovers exchange messages. Here
an anonymous person regrets his
rudeness on Oxford street to one
equally anonymous. Here "Oliver"
cries to "Pensive Lady,, mo, Sweet
Chuck" Here "Mound-Ma1den" tells
Stewart" that "the inexorable law
of caste prevents it." There are
tional messages by real people, and
every day in this column bold, emo
put in the newspaper by themselves
for Is. Cd. per two lines.
What American can find this in
his "daily?" Wouldn't it be bliss if
some of our old gossips could read
the very personal messages from low
ers, one or both of whom were
known to them? Wouldn't our sub
scription list grow in leaps and
bounds if in the "Personar column
young gentleman in Lowndesville
could read a message understood by
him only that the young lady who
treated him coldly in Antreville last
Sunday was sorry. Or if a young
