batters can't understand it either.
- That was a pretty fair combination
of umpires yesterday but they called
several plays that didn't look right tC

have been right.
Don't forget to flivver UP to Glover

The Federal Reserve board would
like John Skelton Williams better if he
were more reluctant about telling
what he knows. But John Skeiton is
not concerned about the good opinion
of the Reserve board. He thinks that
the Federal Reserve bani; should be
run rs "a national benefit rather ;ham
as a personal snap, and he cannot un-
derstand why the larger interests of
the toiling masses among the whole
people should not receive more con-
sideration than the comfort, convent
cnce and desires of small, irresponsi-
bic undercircle. And John Shelton is en-
tircly right. No man connected with
the Federal Reserve government
should think of anything before the
greatest good to the greatest number.

Fight About Poisoned Dogs.
DR.. w. G. Stevens, a physician Of
Rock Hiil,. and a councilman Of that
city, suffered rather severe attack at
the hands of Oran S. Poe, Jr., on the
SlIGGl III NUN IlllI,
ing. 1t appears that the fight between
DR.. S,evens and young Poe was the
result of the poisoning Of several dogs
belonging to Poe, the latter claiming
that Stevens had poisoned the dogs.
Several dogs belonging to Poe it is
said have died suddenly under mys-
terious circumstances recently. The
last dog died a few days ago and a
friend of Poe's telephoned TO him at
Montreal, n. c., advising him Of the
circumstances. Poe Immediately got
into his machine and drove to Rock
Hill, arriving Tuesday. He met DR..
Stevens on the street Wednesday and
DR.. Stevens denied poisoning the dogs.
Other words followed and then the
fight, Poe striking Stevens in the face
several times. The encounter lasted
only few seconds. Both men are
prominent in Rock Hill.

That leading Republicans should be
grievously disappointed at the provis-
ions of the Fordncy tariff bill is not at
all surprising. a protective tariff that
benefits one class Of citizens necesSari-
ly discriminates against some other
class, and those Republicans which
represent constituencies that will get
none of the pie have a right to gnash
their teeth. When the Western Re
publicans learn what expert skirners
the Eastern Republicans are along
protection lines, they will begin to see
why and where their political interests
are identical with the interests Of the
south Except for what they can get
in the way of protection and other
graft Eastern Republicans have no in
tcrcst in national legislation anyway.

this be true, and the good intention be-

brought about through the use of
the ballot and not by force.
Before the work of Americaniza-
ton was begun under the guidance
of the Bureau Of immigration the
failures to obtain citizenship were
numerous, repeated and in many in
stances complete, sometimes because
of a lack of sincere effort to pre-
pare to meet even a moderately
severe test but more often because
the opportunity to get instruction
was entirely lacking. That oppor-
tunity is now afforded and those
who apply for citizenship with the
approval of their teachers in the
Americanization classes do not fail
and not only that but they show
themselves capable of standing a
test that calls for more than mere
parrot-like answers.
TT will pay anyone to visit the
classes in the Americanization
schools and especially upon gradu-
alton night, when those who have
become citizens receive their diplo-
mas-a ceremony that is made much
of. especially by the Daughters Of
the American Revolution, who pre-
sent each graduate the greatly COW
teed diploma and a copy of the Con-
stitution. A visitor will gain inspir-
alton to higher patriotism from the
earnest enthusiasm of the new citI-
zens and will realize how much bet
ter conditions in our country might
be, had we for many years past
shown any interest in prospective
citizens except to exploit them.
IF the Americanization work shall
be carried on all over the country
as devotedly as il is in Washing
ton hyphenism will become largely
= thing Of the past. We can In

VALUE OF THIS

The Americanization Section
of The washington Herald Is a
great opportunity for all the for
eigrners of this city becaues IT
gives US the good training OF
writing the English language
and bends our minds to the
knowledge of Journalism. :. p. =
Journalism is one of the most
Important achievements OF the

that we understand the condition
of our country; that We know
causes OF the prosperity of ma

knowledge of government, and
the resources OF commonwealth.
It is the sole agent that tells
US the relation OF one nation to
another and tells Us the condis
tions of living of the people of
the world. And 1t is the only
factor that connects all nations
Of the world.
So, above all. we express our
deepest gratitude to The Wasn-
