TREND OF ADVANCED
EDUCATION.

Washington, Sept. 14-(Special
Correspondence Since the United
States has come to take a larger
part in the affairs of the world, and
our own experiences in recent years
have taught the necessity for more
thorough Americanization of our citi-
zenship, diplomacy, economies and
Jurisprudence have assumed a more
important place in the courses of
study of our higher institutions of
learning. This is illustrated in the
scope of the work planned by one Of
the newest universities-one devot-
ing its attention entirely to post
graduate studies.
With President Warren G. Hard
ing on its board of trustees, a full
year of successful experimentation
with a curriculum embracing the new
er humanities, and staff of instruc-
tors recruited from the public men at
the national capital, the American
University begins ats academic year
October 3rd under most favorable
auspices.
Something over a year ago the uni
versity organized two new depart
ments, the School of Diplomacy and
Jurisprudence, and the School of Re
ligion and Citizenship. To these have
been. added the School of Administra-
tion. The first specialists in inter
national law, diplomatic history, prae
tice and ceremonials, civil, Roman
and foreign law, admiralty, etc. The
second, in religions of the world, pO-
litical scence and sociology, social
problems, immigration, civic admins
tration, and other subjects having tC
do with civic development The third
in economics and finance, business or
ganization, accountancy, commerce
and industry Modern languages are
taught, and each department has it;
appropriate graduate degree The de
partments are primarily intended fol
students who have received Their
bachelors degree, but special stu
dents are admitted. Last June amonS
the degrees conferred were one doc
tor of philosophy five doctors o.
civil law, two masters of arts, ant
one master of laws in diplomacy.

PRESS FAvORs sMOOT PLAN


Washington, Sept. 14-(Specal Cor
respendence)-A study of the press
reaction to the Smoot taxing program
disclOses the fact that the plan is be-
ing received with remarkable favor
by metropolitan editors, regardless Of !
any party affiliation.
For example, the New York Jour
nal of Commerce (demOcratic) says:
'No one has ever accused the Utah
senator of being vague ideallst. He
would ont undertake to upset a bill
which had already been approved by
the elder statesmen of the party were
it not than an urgent need for such
action is recognized"
The New York Times (democratic)
is earnest in its praise of the SmOOt
plan: "The measure which Senator
Smoot is preparing is a plan devoid
of all humbug, a simple workable,
business plan, untainted by sublimat-
ed theories of taxation drawn from
the German literature on the subject.
MIR. Smoot has in view taxes that will
not be evaded but will be collected;
that will not be unjust and Oppres-
sive; that will be distributed as just
taxes should be, frankly and openly
over the very great body of the pOpu-
latiOn sharing in the benefits of gov
ernment and properly liable for its
sxpp6rt. 1t is not a measure to lift
the burden from the rich and put 1T
upon the poor. Senator SmOot shows
statesman-like ability and courage in
bringing forward his substitute meas
ure."
Tho New York Herald (republican)
praises tho Smoot plan fulsOmely,
saying: Senator Shoots plan pro-
vides in the sales tax a stable source
Of revenue with minimum fluctua-
tions under ell degrees Of business
prosperity or depression. The manu-
facturert sales tax can be checked uT
by simply referring to their sales
Furthermore, if the SmOOt plan is
adopted, there viii be no need for {
sweeping tax revision next year
With minor alterations as needed
from time to time the plan woulC
serve for several years to provide
necessary revenue for the Govern
ment with a minimum of disturbance
to the nations industries. "The New
York Herald warmly compliment
Senator Smoot on the clarity, III
simplicity and the practicality Of hi
plan for raising revenue. at is wise
it comes from a craftsmanship of
high order"
The Providence Journay. (Ind.
says 'The country will especially we
came the Smoot plan" and" clea
straightforward bill" 'The Uta
Senator is one of the ablest author
tiles in Congress on Government fiji
ance and his address since the we
ended have shown that he was givin
studous thought to the subject as tt

time approached when it must
faced"
''The measure has the merit of SIM
piicity" says the Omaha Bee, (Rep)
Gin that it seeks revenue from but
six sources, eliminating 20 that exist
at present, and most of which are
of the variety grouped as, nuisance
taxes"
The Portland Oregonian, (Rep.)
believes that the six imposts proposed
"are greatly to be preferred to the
many included in the bill passed by
the House," but suggests the Senator
distinguish between earned and un-
earned incomes and provide for a
higher rate on the latter.
The Washington Post, which is
never swift to accept new thing, de-
clares:" There is one strong argument
in favor of Senator SmOot's plan
which the author does not fail to
direct to the attention Of the public.
1t would make the filling out of tax
returns a comparatively simple mat
ter, while no doubt effecting a con-
siderable saving to the government
in the collecting of back taxes"

new and despotic policy they assum-
ed the right to beat up innocent citi-
zens for no apparent purpose other
than to "teach them to respect an Of
ficer of the law"
We do not think the situation is as
bad as our democratic friend seems
to believe, but it is bad enough. We
agree that contempt for the laws of
the land and cowardly fear of badges
and buttons make up a mighty poor
sort of Americanism." Fortunately
we are living under new era-one
in which the law is being exalted and
officialdom is kept in its place. A
few indictments and convictions of
despotic democratic administration
will have a chance to renew reigr
of terror.

c., of Canada, also paid their respects
to the institution.
The political significance of these
new departments Of the American
University is to be found in the en-
phasis which Is placed on those sub
jects which set forth the relation of
man with his fellows, past, present
and speculation as to the future. To
the greatest degree possible the theO-
retical is made to yield to the practi-
cal in applying the lessons Of history,
diplomacy and philosophy. The aim
is to train the student for the citi-
zenship of today. In addition to the
instruction received under men who
have proven their worth as public
servants and molders of public opin-
ion, the students are given innumer-
able opportunities to see the republic
in its development, the government
departments and the national legisla-
ture become for them the great lab
oratories wherein to record the re
actions Of a people. The library OF
congress and the archives of the var
ious departments are made available
| for research and the preparation Of
thesis.
The American University IN de
veloping it's three new departments
, is performing a highly commendabl
service to America. 1t can not fai
to produce better citizens, scholars o
, wide erudition, and men who will adj
Z to the glory and lustre of the natiOl
which presents the most tangible ex
t preston of the hopes and aspiration
Of mankind.

SOME RESULTS OF
DEMOCRATIC RULE.

A prominent democratic newspa-
per notes what it calls two very bad
traits in our national character-an
absence of respect for law and an al
most slavish subserviency to law Of
ficers. Conccding for the sake of
argument that this Indictment OF
American character is well founded,
what is the cause for this depior-
able condition?
In search for the answer, we have
not far to go. The causes are indl-
Gated in those portions Of the repub-
lican platform of 1920 which declare
that the democratic administration
had FUSED legislation passed to meet
the emerbency of was to continue to
arbitrary and inquisitorlal control
over the people in time of peace" and
that under the despotic plea of ne
cessitv or superior wisdom, executive
usurpation of legislative and judicial
functions still undermines our insti-
tutions." The evil thus indicated IS
the growing tendency toward bureau
cracy-the abandonment of explicit
provisions of law and the delegation
of discretionary authority of official
dom.
Throughout it's period of power
the democratic administration set uT
personal government for government
bv law. The official agents of the
Wilson administration exceeded th'
authority delegated to them, or IN
tended to be delegated 30 them b!
any fair Interpretation of the statu
tes. They issued their mandates, ans
individual citivens, fearing retalIa
ton of they appealed to the courts TO

tion of authority. Official power
was used to cOerce or intimidate the
bankers. By indirection prices of the
most important farm products were
limited although costs Of production
were boosted The postmaster gen
eral set himself up as a censor of
the press and, after the armistice was
signed, seized the Atlantic cables as a
war measure. The federal reserve
board assumed the right to control
credits and determine upon whom
shall fall the first burden of defla-
ton.
These and many other things were
done to the injury of private citi-
zens without any express authority OF
law and merely because the official
had the power and the ordinary citi-
zen can not afford the expense of de-
Tending his rights. No ordinary citi-
zen will, of course, offer any physi-
cal resistance to an officer of the law
while apparently acting in his off
cial capacity. To offer legal resist
ance by appeal to due process of law
is impracticable in a great majority
of cases. The result is that wher
bureaucracy asserts itself as it die
Eduring the Wilson administration, the
average citizen becomes "slavishly
subservient to law officers" ever
when the officer is himself violating
the law. Nor is it any wonder tina
when local officers saw federal au
thorities successfully setting up tn

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount Of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely alimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptOmain-like poiSonS are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teagpoonful of lime
stone phosphate il it to wash out Of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimens
tary canal clean, pure and fresh. 4
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliOusness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject
Remember inside bathing is more
! important than outside bathing, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing pool
health, while the bowel pores do

Despite the huge savings that have
already been made in the apprOpria-
tions for the current fiscal year,
President Harding is planning with
Director Dawes for further cuts. The
biggest reductions are to come from
the war department, but every execu-
tive bureau is to contribute it's share.

Mr.. Wilmer Appointed.

The Board of Road Commissioners
at their meeting Tuesday last appointed
Mr.. Bruce M. Wilmer Superintendent
of county road work.
In the appointment of Mr.. Wilmer,
the Board has secured the servises OF
young man, full of energy and in
dustrious, who we believe will make
good in his new position.
He and Mr.. Carlyle Turner have DUR
ing the last two months built several
roads in their neighborhood which
demon strate his ability in road work.
But while Mr.. Wilmer will do his
part towards the betterment OF road
conditions, he should have the coop
Grafton of the farmers, especially those
whose property abuts on the roads.
By all working together, lasting re-
suits can be accomplished.

Mrs. Emily Z. Mitchell Dead.

Mrs. Emily z. Mitchell, widow Of
the late William H. Mitchell, and
daughter OF the late General Walter
and Mrs. Mary F. Mitchell, died at
Ter home, "Tha nston,r near this
town, Friday morning last, from in
firmities due to her advanced age-ol
years.
The deceased was one of those sweet
and amiable Southern ladies, whose
gentle disposition won for her the love
and high respect CT all with whom she
came In contact. None ever entered
her home without friendly welcome,
nor left without feeling the warmth OF
a genuine hospitality, so characteristic
of the people of her ancestry. Disease
did not destroy the charm other kindly
disposition, nor old age diminish her
unselfish solicitude for her friends and
loved ones.
Her whole life was beautiful in the
extremes priceless legacy to the
ones near and dear to her whom she
has left behind. It's path was marked
with deeds OF kindness and cheer.
Flowers, not tAorns, sunshine, not
shadow did she scatter everywhere.
Truth was the inspiration OF her life
and by kindness she exemplified il.
As wife and mother she was faith
full and the soul of devotion. As a
friend and neighbor she was kind,
sympapathetic and charitable.
Mrs. Mitchell is survived by one son
and one daughter-Hon. Walter j.
Mitchell. of La Plata, and Mrs. Thomas
II. Jenifer, of Loeb Raven, Baltimore
county, with whom we deeply sympa-
thize In this, their sad bereavement.
Her funeral took place Sunday, with
services in Christ Church, this town,
following which interment was made
in Mt Rest Cemetery, where
Nov she sleeps where the daises nod,
And the clover hangs its head,
Where the wild birds come and the
wild bees hum,
ABOVE her Ion ly bed.
She fought the fights, she kept the
faith.
Her fame shines bright and clear,
And her memory lives in all our hearts,
Which will hold it ever dear. P"
Her pall-bearers were we're: Messrs.

High School Students
Hold Second Debate.

Friday night last the handsome au-
ditorium of the Indian Head High
School was filed to its capacity by the
friends and patrons of that school and
the TompkinsYille High School who
assembled to hear the debate between
students of the two schools.
The question discussed was Re-
solved, That the United States should
adopt some form of Compulsory Mill
tary Training"
The affirmative side of the question
was well and ably defended by Earl
Knott, Katherine Perks and Hazel
Jenkins, of the Indian Head School,
while Jennie Simms, Alfred Sweeney
and Leonard Herbert brought forth
many applauses from the audience as
they scored points for the negative
side.
This being the second meeting of the
students of these schools in debate on
this subject, very much interest was
manifested by every one when the
judges retired to pass upon the merits
of the debate.
The Indian Head students having
won the first contest, it was but natur-
al that Prof. Bonneville, of the Tomp-
kinsville School, showed all over in
smiles when the judges, Miss Dorothy
Burdette, H. Fl. Hawkins and w. b.
Billingsley, rendered a decision in ia
vor OF the negative side.
Prof Thomas, of Indian Head High
School, and his efficient assistants
are to be commended for the very in
teresting program arranged for the
evening.

Agricultural Notes.


Meeting of Charles County Farmers
Federation April 9Th, 1921.
The following Member Organic atoms
being represented. the minutes Of the
previous meeting were read and the
regular order OF business was trans
acted Nanjemoy Grange, McConchie
Grange, 9Th District Farmers Asso-
citation, Waldorf Community Club, La
Plata Home School Improvement AS
ISOLATION, Indian Head Home Garden
Club, Sheep Growers Association and
the 10th District.
The first new business of importance
was the election Of officers for one year
which resulted as follows
President-Mr. W. G. Bishop, We'll
come.
Vice President-M S. c. Linton,
Riverside.
Treasurer-Mr. W. S. B. Chapman,
Spring Hill.

Pomonkey; Mr.. A. b. Bateman, Mount
Victoria; Mr.. Z, II. Speake, Graytoni
Mr.. o. o Carr, Indian Head; Mr.. ).
G.. Ryon, Waldorf.
A resolution was adopted to have
committee of three from each member
organization go before the County
Commissioners and ask them to make
an appropriation for the County Agent
and Home Demonstration Work.
Each organization then present, thru
its representatives, reported the work
being done throughout the county.
The need of closer cooperation be-
tween the organization was pointed
out and the desire of each organiza-
ton was that the other organizations
visit them. The making Of the commu-
nifty life more pleasant by having good
meeting places and having better roads
were the more important phases of the
work at present. The Sheep Growers
told of the pooling of the wool and the
excellent blankets made from the wool
which was being sold throughout the
county. They also told of the amount
of money raised this year through the
Dog License which was nearly
double that of last year. What shall
we grow instead of the tobacco we are
leaving off was ably presented by Mr..
J. Z. Wetherald. Diversified farming
was strongly urged upon the Fedora
ton and the opinion of the representa-
tives was that that was the thing to do
for the present at least. The subject
of more and better hay was first, then
livestock to eat the hay.
Don't forget the meeting OF the War
dorf Community Club on the evening
of the 18th of April at 5 O'Clock, in the
Hall.
Look at your clover and il the freeze
killed it, SOW some more.
Spray we'll your few apples left and
make them the very best.
