Inauguration of work by the
Rockefeller Foundation to eradicate
tuberculosis in the Philippine Is

follow the short visit to the Philip

DR.. Victor G. Heiser of the Rookie
Teller Foundation, who was mem
Der of the party and who formerly
was director of the Department of
Health Of the Philippines, left the
party in Manila and will remain in
the Islands a month to investigate
the establishing of foundation work

the insular government. the fight
against tuberculosis and leprosy.

PHILIPPINES WILL EMBARRAss

In view of the definite and un-
deniable promise of the United
States to grant independence to the
Philippine Islands, the latter will be
an embarrassment to the United
States in more ways than one as
long as she continues to hold them.
The United States wrote and
championed the principle of self-de-
termination in the late war. She
sent her sons to fight and die for
that principle. Yet the whole world
is witness to the fact that she is not
rracticing self-determination in
dealing with the Philippine Islands.
Great Britain only smiled when
the two houses of the American Con-
gress passed resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of
the Irish people for a republic
Great Britain well knew that the
American Congress was asking Great
Britain to do something that the
Philippine Islands had requested the
United States itself to do, and that
the latter was not and is not doing.
The United States is bound to be
embarrassed some more in the set
ting of the Far Eastern problems at
the Conference on Limitation of
Armaments. Japan is in a position
to say to Uncle Sam: 1--WE will get
out of Shantung when you get out
of the Philippines"
The United States may kill sew
eral birds with one stone by grant
ing to the people of the Philippine
Islands the independence (which
they so honorably covet."

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATlON
DELEGATES TO DISARMAMENT
CONFERENCE OBSERVING
DRY LAW.

1t is reported that all events a,
the White House during the Limi-
tation of Arms Conference will be
dry"
Any one who knows the innate
good taste of the American Presi-
dent could have predicted that. If
any one thing is characteristic of Mr..
Harding, it is that he stands for
stable things, for firm foundations,
in all social and business affairs,
and such foundations are impossible
if men in high places by indirection
discredit established law.
What is more gratifying, because
perhaps not so certainly to be ex-
pected is the fact that delegations of
foreigners to the Limitation of Arms
Conference and prominent visitors,
with admirable courtesy, are show
ing their respect for the prohibition
law. The British delegation, it is
announced, will observe the prohi-
bition law in the matter of liquid
iOAA OoAlCAto SC1Ncu dt iii VI It's ell
tertainments. The Japanese, on the
occasion of the birthday Of their
Emperor, have already shown their
respect for the law of their hosts.
And Marshal Foch, simple and di-
rect in all his ways, has announced
that while he is in America he in
tends to honor the spirit as well as
the letter of American laws, and
that the lack Of wine is not such
deprivation to him after all.
1t is said sometimes that men in
high places are injuring the prestige
of the law by consorting with boot
leggers and showing their contempt
for prohibition. 1t is the new rich,
the "muckers," the man or woman
with a yellow streak, the one who
has not been taught the good sports
manship of law observance-it is
that type among the wel1-to-do who
are encouraging bootlegging. That
type has its day but it is always d
short day.-World Digest.

shift is an opinion shared by many

Senator Pomerene Calls Newberry
Toga "A Dirty Rag"


Senator Pomerene (Dem., Ohio)
closed his great speech reviewing
the notorious and scandalous New
berry case before the Senate with
this blistering excoriation of Sena-
tor Newberry:
Mr.. President, it so happens that
there can be only two Senators from
each sovereign state at one time
only two. When the voters of a
state go to their wardrobe and take
from it the senatorial toga and
drape it around the shoulders of one
OF their favorite sons, he is indeed
honored but when some rick man
who aspires to that honor builds out
OF gold dollars a stairway leading
into that wardrobe and takes from
1t the senatorial toga, whether it is
done by himself or by his million
aire friends, the toga is no longer a
robe OF honor; 1t is dirty rag that
disgraces him that wears it,
The discussion of the Newberry
election scandal in open session in
the Senate has had little publicity in
the daily press due to the volume of
news from the conference on the
Limitation of Armaments, condi-
ton foreseen by the Republican de-
Tenders of Newberry when they re-
fused to postpone the case and
forced it to hearing at this time.

Sand Hill IN. c. Citizen.
Last Friday evening Herbert Beck,
Chris Hopkins, and Joseph Groome
went up to Lakeview for swim.
They had been in the water but
few minutes when Hopkins suddenly
raised both hands and sank. Beck
and Groome Immediately called for
help and went to the assistance of
the drowning man. AS they receiv-
ed no assistance from any fthe men
in the water or those on the shore,
which was scarcely more than 100
feet from where Hopkins went down,
they were unable to save the drown
ing man although they stayed with
him as long as there was Il possible
chance of saving him. His body was
recovered in thirty five minutes after
he sank, but all efforts to resusci-
tate him proved futile as life was
extinct. The funeral and burial
service were held at Central, South
Carolina, Mr.. Hopkins old home.
Mr.. Hopkins came to Southern
Pines last October and became asso-
ciated with Mr.. Beck in his garage
and repair shop, He had genial
| pleasant manner that brought him q
host Of friends.
He leaves wife and little daugh-
ter who was just three days old
when her father lost his life.

girl have the deep sympathy Of the
entire community in their bereave
ment.

DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM Wis
ITS THIS SECTION.

A conservative estimate of the
damage wrought by the hail storm
which visited this section on Mon
day, the 11th inst, would reach $780,
100000, in the opinion Of good farm
ers. Thia'is great disaster to the
people of this section coming upon
the heels Of the heavy loss sustained
on crops last year.
The section visited is about three
miles square South of the Southern
Railway between Easley and Liberty.
The destruction was complete. Corn
was torn to shreds and cotton was
literally stripped, leaving only the
stalk. All of the gardens and the
fruit in the section was destroyed.
The following farmers are the
heaviest losers, practically all their
crops being total loss. Farms ad-
jacent to these also suffered some:
