Gilman Scores All of
Locals Points.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, January II (Spe-
ciaD.-Only in the early portion
of the game did the basketeers
of George Washington University
give much trouble, then the mid
shipmen pulled away and won by
the score of 40 to 13. the biggest
number of points they have scored
this season. The Navy players did
not seem to strike their gait at first,
and half way through the opening
period the score was tied at five
points. The court goals by Waters
! comfortable margin. and the half
ended in their favor, IA to 5. The
Navy scored rapidly in the closing
period.
Gilman Only Local Scorer.
An unusual feature of the game was
that one player. Right Forward Gill
man. scored all the points for the
visiting team. He shot four goals
from the floor and five from the foul
line. Two of his court goals were on
very clever throws. and another was
smacked in on jump near his own
goal. DAILY and Boteler put up good
defensive games.
BurkhoIder led off with the first
score. a field goal, but Gilman tied
the score two minutes later linen
each team scored three points on
shots from the foul line by Waters
and Gilman, the score being tied at
three, four and five points. Waters
then scored from the floor, and
Greber followed. Waters second
field goal gave the midshipmen a sub
stahtial lead. which they never lost.
Five minutes before the end the
Navy put in a complete new team.
Byerly and Waters did the best work
for the regular. and Blue played an
excellent game for the second string.

"Y" Basketers Demonstrate
General Superiority in Arm
strong Benefit Game.

Yankees completely outplayed Alo-
ysius last night in the basket ball
game at the Y. NJ. C. A. for the bene-
At of the family of the late Detective
Armstrong. The ''Y' boys got away
to a good start and their opponents
were never able to catch up. The
winners showed q general superiority
in their performance that was marked
especially in but one department The
score was 80 to 13.
The one phase in which the Yankees s
proved much the superior was IN
passing. They handled the ball clean
ly and shot it from one to another
with an accuracy that exceeded any
thing shown by the other qulnt at
any time during the contest More
accustomed to the big floor, the
Yankees worked their passing game
even more effectively than would or
dinariiy have been the case.
Aloysfus Passes Wildly.
While the Yankees play was mark
ed by accurate work in passing and
handling the ball, Aloysius did much
more wild throwing than usually Is
seen. They seemed handicapped by
the big floor and by the out-of-bounds
rule.
The game was = success in its main
object-that of raising money. AS q
result, the two teams will turn over
to the family of the late Detective
Armstrong a sum in excess Of $3.50.
As a preliminary to the Yankees

what they are. II is no accident that
before the great example of American
manhood our people stand with respect
and reverence. In Abraham Lincoln is
revealed our ideal. the hope of our
country, fulfilled. He was the iucarna
tion of what America was to be.
Through him the Almighty bestowed
upon the nation new birth OF freedom
that this dear land of ours might be
returned to the house of its fathers. We
are the benefcaries of a life of surpass-
ing service, wise in freedom and gentle
in gentleness.
Freedom has many sides and angles.
Human slavery has been swept away.
With security of personal rights has
come security OF property rights. The
freedom of the human mind is recog-
nized In the right of free speech and
free press. The public schools have
made education possible for all and ig-
norance is a disgrace. In political af
fairs the vote of the hum5lest has long
counted for as much as the vote of the
most exalted. We are working toward
the day when in our industrial life equal
honor shall fall to equal endeavor. Duty
is collective as well as personal.
Law must rest on the permanent
foundation of righteousness. Industry,
thrift. character are not conferred by
act or resolve. Government can not re-
lisye from toll. Do the days work.
II it be to protect the rights of the
weak, whoever objects, do it. II it be
to help a powerful corporation better to
serve the people, whatever the opposi-
ton. do that. Expect to be called a
standpatter. but don't be a standpat-
ter. Expect to be called n demagogue,
but don't be a demagogue.
1--WE need a broader. iirmer. deeper
faith in people--a faith that men desire
to do right. that the government is
founded upon a righteousness that will
endure"

Address Of Coolidge
Mr.. Coolidge made the following ad :
dress:
"The first duty Of a government is to
perfection. 1t means a plan to strive
for perfection. 1t means loyalty to
ideals. The ideals of America were
set out in the Declaration Of Independ =
encc and adopted in the constitution.
They did not represent perfection at
tanned, but perfection planned. The
fundamental principle was freedom. The
fathers knew this was not yet appre =
hended. They formed government firm
in the faith that it was ever to press
toward this high mark
''In selfishness. in greed. in lust for
gain it turned aside. Enslaving others.
IL became ltSelt enSlaNe0. Bondage IN
one part consumed freedom in all parts.
The government of the fathers. ceasing
to be true to itself. was perishing.
Five score and ten years ago that
Divine Providence which infinite repeti-
tion has made only the more miracle
sent into the world a new life destined
to save nation. No star. no sign fore :
told his coming. About his cradle all
was poor and mean. save only the great
source of all great men. the love of a
wonderful woman. When she faded
away in his tender years. from her
deathbed in humble poverty she dow
cred her son with greatness. Into his
origin, as into his life. men long have
looked and wondered. In wisdom great.
but in humility greater; in justice
strong. but in compassion stronger. he
became leader of men by being a fol-
lower of the truth. He overcame evil
with good. His presence filled the ma :
tion. He broke the might Of oppres-
sion. He restored a race to its birth =
right. His mortal frame has vanished,
but his spirit increases with the in :
creasing years. the richest legacy OF
the greatest century.

FIFTEEN MILLION ILLITERATES

DR.. Philander C. Claxton is the
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation, and he ought to know what
he is talking about when he says
there are 100000 people in this
country who cannot read a news
paper. They represent the harvest
fields in which demagogues sow
their dragon teeth. But the one trou-
BILE is that whenever any attempt is
made to solve this grave problem of
illiteracy there are powerful ele-
ments which come up and demand
huge appropriations from Congress,
with the idea of centralizing the
control of the entire educational sys-
tenn of the nation in Washington.
Generally the only excuse what

WIRELESS MYSTERY
...,, CAUSES DISCUSSION

London, Jan. 26.-1nterru otlons
of the Marconi wireless instruments
bv mysterious undecipherable sig
nails, which have been publicly re-
ferred to since, are specially feat
ured in The Daily Mail this morn
ing and discussed by Marconi in an
interview published by the paper.
1--WE occasionally get very queer
sounds and indications which might
come from somewhere outside the
earth," said Signor Marconi. 1--WE
have had them both in England and
America. The Morse signal letters oc
cur with much greater frequency
than others, but we have never yet
picked up anything that could be
translated into a definite message.
"The fact that the signals have oc-
Cured simultaneously at New York
and London with identical intensity
seems to indicate that they must
have originated at a very great dis
tance. We have not yet the slightest
nroof of their origin. They might
conceivably be due to some natural
disturbance at great distance, for
instance, an eruption of the sun
causing electrical disturbances"
Asked whether possible ATTEMPT
was being made by another planet to
communicate, Signor Marconi said:
sI would not rule out the posslblll-
+v of this. but there is no proof. We
must investigate the matter much

HOUSTON SLATED
TO FOLLOW GLASS

Washington, Jan. 24.-Unless
plans are changed, President Will
son is expected to transfer Secretary
Houston from the department of
agriculture to the treasury depart
ment to succeed Carter Glass, who
is about to take his seat as senator
from Virginia.
While any official information still
was being withheld today, it was
understood that the nomination of
Mr.. Houston had been prepared, and
unless some development arises at
the last moment, it is expected to be
presented to the senate within a
day or two.
The move would be the first
transfer of cabinet officer from
one department to another during
President Wilson's administration.
Shifts were frequent in the admin
stration of President Roosevelt but
all the changes in President Wilson's
cabinet have been designations.
The successor to Mr.. Houston as
secretary of agriculture has not been
announced but it is believed he will
be one of the men who have been
identified with the work of that de-
partment. In official circles here Mr..
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-01-28

can be offered for the proposed CEN
tralization of the educational sys-
tenn. We do not want standardized
opinions in this country. We do not
want a great mass of young teachers
going out from a central university
in Washington and teaching from
mold. Difference of opinion makes
horse-races, which is not to it's credit
but it also makes great nations, and
lit makes civilization.
Education is a local problem, al
though national in the ramification
of it's effects. Illiteracy is an eco
nomic burden from which every
community must escape before 1t
can hope to achieve any consider
able prosperity. We believe that
towns and States can be made to be
ashamed of their federation of litter
acy. We believe that this shame can
drive them into measures for their
own relief. But if they once get the
that all they have to do is
to wait and that abundant streams Of
revenue from Washington will
eventually pour into their education
al funds, then they will remain
quiescent and do nothing in their
own behalf.
Potentially, every one of the 49,
100000 people in this country who
cannot read is menace to the nation
whether he be native or fereign-
er. But there are some cures that
are worse than the disease, and we
are convinced that the concentration
of educational control in Washing
ton would be such cure in the pres
'ent case.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-01-28

Houston is credited with having
been willing to accept the treasury
portfolio when William G. McAdoo
resigned. Before entering the cabi-
net Mr.. Houston was college pro-
fessor at St. Louis, and it is said that
as secretary of agriculture he has
been close on the inside circles of
the administration.
Until late today the name of Assist
ant Secretary Leffinwell was fore
most among those being mentioned
to succeed Secretary Glass.

upon a definite explanation"
He added that = the mysterious
sounds are not confined to any par
ticular diurnal period, they are
equally frequent by day and night.
