The trouble with some laundries is
that instead of cleaning the collars
they only sharpen them.
A woman who marries man
younger than she is will soon age him.
Speaking of discipline in the navy.
have you noticed better instance than
when Mrs. Sims told the Admiral he
had talked enough. Well say, If Mrs.
We're on the quarterback more, the Ad-
miral would foul his anchor line less.

EUROPE FEEDS UNEMPLOYED
AMERICA STARVES Fem

Washington. - Representative Me-
yer London, only Socialist in Con-
gress, has introduced a resolution in
the house calling for an appropriation
of $5O0,000,000 to relieve distress
among the Involuntary UNEMPLOYED.
The resolution provides that the
funds be dispensed by the secretary of
labor to cooperative societies and la
Dor unions to be used by them for the
promotion, construction, purchase or
leasing of factories so that the process
es of production may be restored.
Representative London's resolution
was timed to coincide with the passage
by the house Of the bill granting $780,
100000 for the relief of the railroads.
If we are to have special legisla-
ton to benefit few thousand railroad
bondholders" said Representative Lon
don, why not have additional legisla-
ton to assist the 5,735,O0O workers
who are unemployed through no fault
of their own"

GOOD MATERIAL FOR BOILERS
Variety of Pumice Stone Is Coming
Into General Use in Japan-Has
Many Advantages.

"Koka Seki" is a variety of pumice
stone which, as far as now known,
reports Vice Consul H. T. Goodier of
Yokuhuma, is only found in the small
group of Niijima islands New Is
lands). which lie off the coast of the
Idzu peninsula, about ninety miles
south of Tokyo. Though used in
Niijima from ancient times as a build
ing material, only comparatively re-
Gently has "Koka Seki" become known
commercially in Japan proper. Be
cause of its durability, high tensile
strength and capability of resisting
1900 degrees G. of heat, it is suit
able for boiler and furnace construc-
ton as we'll as inner Innings of safes
and the manufacture of ice chests.
AS it is claimed, it can be easily cut,
will take a surface of paint or metal
plating, and as nails can be driven
in, it is thought that the uses of this
material will greatly increase. 1t is
however, in REINFORCED concrete barge
building in Japan that it is best
known.

THE PHILIPPINES

The independence promised to the
Philippines is the sort of thing a great
republic in the throes Of the tariff and
prohibition may easily neglect. But
this forgetfulness will have its price,
As Manual Quezon, president of the
Philippine senate, reminds us, in words
Of singular candor and sanity. The is
lands, he says, will wait ten or twelve
pears. but if we indefinitely postpone
The fulfillment Of our promise, 1t
would cause a revolution" He de-
clares peaceful people are easily led,
and we will take our medicine from you
now, but you must not push us too
far. AMI with a frankness seldom
found in national leaders, he admits
that Americans are needed in the gov
eminent for efficiency's sake, and that
the Filippinos have made a mess of
their financing. The closer the atten-
ton paid by congress to the remarks
Of Mr.. Quezon, the better for our re-
lations with the Philippines. = The
New Republic.

RAILROAD BANKING CLIQUE
DEFIES GOVERNMENT .CONTROl

New York. - The action of the
Erie railroad in turning over its round
house and shops at Marion, Ohio, to
"a private concern" is characterized
by the committee of 48 as fresh proof
added to an already imposing mass of
evidence that the railways of our coun-
try are run by small group which
controls our natural resources, trans
portation, industry, and credit, STILES
competition, prevents equal opportun-
ity for development for all, and thus
dictates the conditions under which we
live"
The accusation is made in a letter
sent by the executive committee Of
the organization to the Interstate Com
merce Commission urging that body to
take Immediate action to put halt to
this latest attempt of the railroad ex-
ecutives to avoid their obligations and
responsibilities to the public.
We need not remind you," says
the letter, that there is in this country
a widespread and constantIy-growiing
distrust Of the efficiency Of govern
ment control. If the Erie railroad is
permitted to fIaunt its defiance of that
control in the manner of its recent ac-
ton at Marion and by force of sue
cessful example pave the way to fur
Their defiance by other roads, then in
deed the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has become superfluous.
Until the time comes when the Am
erican people demand public owner
ship of public utilities, governmental
control and supervision offer the sole
defense of the people against the con-
slant aggressions of the banking clique
behind the railroad executives. We
look to your body to prove in tangi-
bic manner that this defense is as
strong as the circumstances permit"
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-09-15

A modern school should not go
through the form of teaching children
useless historic facts just because pre-
vious generations of children have
learned and forgotten them, and it
should also have the courage not to
read obsolete and uncongenial classics
simply because tradition had made this
sort of acquaintance kind of good
form. As for Latin and Greek, pos
tive case cannot be made out for eli
Their It is useless to inquire whether
knowledge of Latin or mathematics
IS valuable, because the pupils do not
get it, and it is equally beside the mark
ito ask whether the effort to obtain
this knowledge is a valuable discipline,
since failure is so widespread that the
only habits acquired through failure
to learn Latin or Algebra are habits of
slipshod work, of guessing and of me-
chanical application Of formulate not
themselves understood.
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-09-15

Non-resistance to evil with violent
methods really means only that the
mutual interaction of rational beings
upon each other should consist not of
violence (Which can only be admitted
j. relation to lower organisms lacking
reason) but in rational persuasion;
and that consequently, towards this
substitution of rational persuasion for
coercion all those should strive, who
desire TO further the welfare of man
kind Leo Tolstoy.
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-09-15

No man has right to dominate am
other, and no man. nor any number
Of men. can confer upon an agent a
function, privilege, or right not orig
inally possessed by them. The super
human authority Of nature has made
provision for every requirement, occa-
SION, or emergency, and it is our bus
mess to learn Of nature and obey her
orders.

Got Rid of PestIferous EIv.

Health authorities at Saranac Lake,
N. Y, declare that this probably is the
first ''fyless town" in the world. De-
spite the unusually hot weather of
last June and July, there were scarcely
any more flies in the town than most
places have in January. It cost about
$1,000 to eradicate the fly nuisance,
which was accomplished by requiring
that manure be screened and frequent
ly removed.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
KNEW HAMPSHIRE
1SE~ TO NEW
S r.. lsFEA SHIRE falls
A III kAHlf5 the honor Of
ri casting tn
H vote which
~ d e finit ely
49, fOrme d the
United States. The Constitution
was to formally take effect when
nine states had ratified it and on
June liz 1888, New Hampshire
rounded out the necessary quota
of the states. This beat Vir-
ginia for the deciding vote by
only four days.
The beginnings of New Hamp-
shire lead back to Captain Ma
son, who had been governor of
Portsmouth in Hampshire, Eng
land. Thus was the name of
the colony derived and also that
of its first city, Portsmouth. AS
a reward for Mason's faithful
ness to King Charles he was al
lotted a large territory north of
the Merrimac river. The first
settlements were started in 1923
in Rye and Dover. Shortly after,
a theological dispute arose in
Boston, led by Mrs. Anne Hutch
inson, which resulted in her be-
ing banished. Some of her fol-
lowers went north and founded
Exeter, not far from the towns
of Portsmouth and Dover. Short
ly after the town of Hampton
was settled by Massachusetts
people. AS Captain Mason died
soon after this, these four towns
in 1641 joined themselves to
Massachusetts. In 1879, however,
King Charles II separated them
again and formed the royal prov
mce of New Hampshire.
The present area of New
Hampshire is 9,341 square miles.
From the rugged aspect of it's
White mountains has come the
name Granite state, by which it
is often popularity called. The
population of New Hampshire
warrants an electoral vote Of
four for president.
