DR.. F. S. RILEY OSTEOPATH.

Attention is called to the profess
sional card in The Sentinel of DIR.
F. S. Riley, Osteopath. Osteopathy
is indeed a science and the practice
of it is everywhere recognized as
very important factor in reaching
great many ailments of the human
family that fail or refuse to respond
to medicines. Osteopathy is based
on the theory that great many dis
eases have their seat in the bones or
nerves and that the manipulation of
these by the osteopath brings about
normal or natural functioning.
DR.. Riley a native of Louisville,
KY. He is trained and skilled in his
work. He has had number of years
experience and knows the human
anatomy as the child knows his A.
B. C's. He is treating quite great
numbeH of people and this paper COM
mends him to the consideration of
those who have anything more than
temporary ailments. He will tell
you what he believes about your
troubles.

1T WILL BUCK" AFTER RAINS
The Block Pavement Continues TO
Give Trouble.

The paved part of Grenada streets
continue to give trouble. After al
most every heavy rain, portions of
the pavement "buck." 1t was thought
for long while that age would tend
to lessen this trouble, but is seems
as the creosote gets out of the blocks,
they swell more, hence the increased
"bucking." City Street Commits
sioner, Claud Hall, has been doing
quite deal of work on the paving
lately, and among other things, has
been taking out a row of the blocks
next to the side walks and part of
a row in parts Of the public square
which it is hoped will give room
enough for the swelling after a rain
and relieve the "bucking." The wood
block paving is unexcelled except
for the trouble herein stated and
that is pretty serious one.

paid for such labor as we performed
in the year, 1920. In taking this

THE sYNcOPATED TRIO.

Perhaps one of the best lyceum
numbers that has come to Grenada
College this session was the Synco-
pated Trio, who entertained a large
audience with an extensive program
last Monday evening in the College
Auditorium.
Two of the most interesting fea-
lures were a sketch done in water
colors before the audience and an
Indian love song, the singers in In
dian costume. The balance of the
time was given to songs and read
ings. The program was well varied
and each number received well-mer-
tied APPLAUSE.

lived nine years in California and
mighty nigh visited the principal

Lake Tahoe, a body of water about

HITcHcOCK'S LEVY ON CAPITAL

CENATOR HITCHCOCk' ) criticism Of
- the proposal of Secretary Mellon to
reduce the surtaxCs on large incomes to
25 per cent reads as If it might be intended
rs a declaration of Democratic policy. If
so, it deserves serious consideration.
The Senator says there should be a
gradual increase of the surtaxes until they
reached 81 per cent. That is, he objects
to a repeal of the high surtaxcS in the ex-
isting law. He insists that such sums as
$500. 900 cannot be regarded as incomes
"They are merely increases in capital" he
insists, ''and ought to be considered con
trary to public policy.
Assuming for the moment that he is right
his proposition is that the Government must
make n levy on capital and thus discourage
its accumulation. Such a theory of taxation
has never been seriously proposed before
save by the Socialists on the Communists
Others have regarded it as the business Of
Government to foster the accumulation of
capital, to encourage thrift and to make
large enterprises easy and to do nothing to
prevent their success
If the Democratic Party is to be COM
mittcd TO reducing fortunes by levy on
them and to pcnaizc the recipients Of in
comes above a given sum, it is desirable
that it should be known, 50 that the country
may understand where it stands.

MEN WHO DO THINGS

| DRESIDENT HARDING'S determine :
L tion that the Conference for the Limita
tion of Armamcnts shall accomplish results
is indicated by the character of the men he
has appointed to represent America.
Secretary Hughes, Senator Lodge, Elihu
Root and Senator Underwood are the equals
in ability and experience of the best men
whom the other nations will send.
They are neither visionares nor agita-
tors. They have never tried to bully or
drive the country into position for which
1t was not prepared.
Some extremists call them conservatives
and even go so far as to say that they have
never actively supported any disarmament
program.
But even IL this were true, It Is a quail
fcation rather than n disqualification for
the task before them.
The ground has been prepared in part by
the agtators and in greater part by the
experience of the world that competition In
armament is putting a heavier burden upon
It than 1t can bear.
The agitators are seldom qualified by
temperament or training for constructive
application of the reforms they favor.
These reforms have to be brought about
in their final form by cool thinking and
level headed men who face the facts and
adjust the new policy to the old conditions.
Garrison and Phillips and the other anti
slavery agitators would have emancipated
the slaves long before Lincoln issued his
famous proclamation. Lincoln was not an
abolitionist. He was conservative on the
slavery question, so far as any man opposed
to slavery in principle could be conserva-
tive. He did not abolish slavery until 1t
became expedient as a war measure.
Limitation Of armaments can now be
looked forward to with confidence because
it has become expedient.
Secretary Hughes, who is lawyer of
wide experience accustomed to measuring
his mind with the minds Of other able men,
can be depended on to state the case with
clearness and precision when he calls the
conference to order.
Mr.. Root Is distinguished for his success
in finding a way to do that which 1t is
legitimately desired TO do. In the present
instance he will be in an assembly of men
who wish to do something if they can only
discover how. His knowledge Of interna-
tional affairs will enable him to indicate to
the foreign statesmen how they can do what
they wish to do and how they can avoid
the pitfalls that may be laid for them by
their political opponents at home.
And the presence in the conference OF
Senators Lodge and Underwood. the lead
ers Of the two parties in the Senate, will
assure the visiting statesmen of the political
unity of the United States.
The conference is not partisan but
national undertaking. backed by the best
sentiment of all parties. The subject is
bigger than partisanship.
1t Is n movement in the interest of hu
manity ms a whole. on which there can be
no serious difference of opinion.

Member of the Associated Press
. STERRETT GUESSES WRONG

pOBERT J. STERRETT, the Demo
IN cratic candidate for District Attorney
Is talking as n pessimistiC partisan when he
says that there is no hope for Philadelphia
save through the defeat Of the Republican
Party.
The Democratic Party in this city is so
small that it cannot he resorted to as an
alternative. It poled about 10000 votes
in local election out of total of $50 900
or 100000 before the women secured the
franchise.
Such progress as is made here must be
made through the supremacy Of the better
elements in the Republican Party.
In short. the hope for Philadelphia lies
in the defeat of what Eihu Root once called
the criminal conspiracy which masQuerades
under the name of the Republican Party
The chief Conspirators are not Republi-
cans from principle. They have affiliated
themselves with that party merely because
1t is in the majority. If they lived in New
York they would be Tammany Democrats
and would vote the Democratic ticket in
national as we'll as in local elections.
The task before the Republican voters is
to defeat at the primaries this year the
ticket supported by these men. and to defeat
It in succeeding years with such ovcrwhelm
ing majorites that the COnspirators will be
driven from politics.
1t can be done If the voters wish to do it,

THE PENNSYLVANIA'S VICTORY

DISPATCHES from Costa RiCa accrcdit
- the battleshp Pennsylvania, which
sailed from PHILADELPHIA with 400 marines
q few weeks ago, with playing silent role
in the international drama resulting in the
occupation of the Coto region in Central
America by the Government favored in the
carefully considered White arbitral award.
The peaceful entry of Costa Rican troops
has been joyfully received. Panama, though
with bad grace, has refrained from actual
opposition.
1t is fair TO consider the effects of the
presence of the Pennsylvania upon this sit
uation Bullying battleships, with force as
their sole argument, are objects of a deal of
detcstation nowadays. The coincidence of
moral and physical strength however is
another story.
The victory" of the Pennsylvania is an
argument for navies that point true. Ad
mittedly it is sometimes difficult to steer an
unimpeachable ethical course. In the race
for monster armaments moral values that
should be basic are perilously likely to
disappear.
But maritime police forces engaged in
ministering to the needs of justice are far
from superfluities, and, granted sane agree
ments between the nations, it is unnecessary
that such navies should be of colossal pro-
portions.
1t is in mad competition that the danger
lies, not in firm stands for fair play.
The Pennsylvania, engaged on mission
of decency, has justified itself by not firing
a shot or detailing a single marine to active
shore duty,
