-BUY WAR SAVING STAMPS
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-06-16

The government seems to be up in
the air against Admiral Sims because
of his alleged reference to Ameri-
can sympathizers of the Seinn Fem
ers. We hold no brief for Admiral
Sims, but we fail to see that he has
been guilty of any greater offence
than many congressman and sena-
tors, who have given utterance in the
halls of congress to things as much
out of place, it seems to us, in re-
gard to the same question, about the
only difference being that his views
are opposite to theirs. 1t appears
to be the position of congress that as
much may be said as one desires in
defense of the so-called Irish Repub-
lie, but that nothing must be said on
the other side of the question. AS a
matter of fact all the talk about Irish
affairs is out of place on the part of
Americans. Irish propagandists
should never be allowed in America,
and American officials shoul d not be
allowed to dabble in this question. 1t
is a matter that America has nothing
whatever to do with, and it seems to
US that Admiral Sims has been guilty
of no greater breach in discussing the
matter in London than American Off
cials in discussing it in America.

The fact that the people of South
Carolina have been saved, not thous-
ands of dollars, but hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars, perhaps, in the
cost of school text books during the
past three years seems to have es-
caped the attention of the critics.
When the state loses money through
a contract the woods are literally full
of the fault finders, but the praisers
are few when money is saved The
present text book contract was en-
tered into in 1917 for a period of five
years, which ends in 1922. The con-
tract was made just before the adj
vance in price of books, and as a
consequence the people of this state
have bought books at prices which
obtained before the war prices began
An instance of the present price OF
books, the local school depository
was shown bill Tuesday from an
Atlanta concern for one Halliburton
primer ordered by mail. The price
was Ga cents. This book is sold
through the local depository for IS
cents. Nearly all other books are
priced in proportion, and practically
all prices are from so to 400 per cent
higher than the state contract prices
The people of this county spend an
nually about $4,000 for text books
It is safe to say that if the state were
not under contract with the publish
ers these same books would cost not
less than $4,000. The publishers
have lost heavily, and but for the fact
that their reputation is at stake
many of them would have long age
forfeited their bond and broke their
contracts with the state. However
it may be said, in justice to the pub
fishers, that not one of them has alb
solutely broken a contract, although
deliveries during the past two years
have been very slow on some books,
and a few books have been unobtain-
able. One of the popular primers was
not on sale last season at all, but
the publishers have advised that the
book will be distributed this summer.
An enormous loss is sustained by the
publishers on every one of the cheap
er text books, such as readers and
spoilers.

Although the cost of living has
gone down, prices of all commodities
have been lowered, and people are
poorer than they have been for sew
eral years, freight and passenger
rates have recently gone up, and tele-
phone rates have advanced. Where
are we headed anyway? Freight and
passenger rates are well-nigh pro-
hibitive. 1t is fortunate that the
people are no longer absolutely de-
pendent upon the railroads for trans
portation. The high rates are caus-
ing people to travel by automobile
more than ever before, as it is cheap
er for party to hire a car than to
pay the passenger rate where the
distance is far.

The Herald passes along the idea
of poisoning the boil weevil by using
the molasses method as information
only. There is wide difference of
opinion, it seems as to the results
obtained. Many farmers in Georgia
state that the method has been pro-
ductive of good results, while the
Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La,
states that the molasses method has
never produced anything but mega
tive results. The best idea, it seems
to us, is for the farmers to expert
ment with the plan itself. 1t is
cheap. He can pursue the other
methods of poisoning as we'll, and the
comparative results can be noted.

WRITING BY WIRELESS.
Message May Be Transmitted Four
Thousand Miles Instantaneously.

A written message transmitted A.
900 miles instantaneously without
wire or cable is the latest feat OF
wireless telegraphy.
The wireless writing machine,
which will make it possible for a
man in the wilds of Alaska to cap
ture the news of the world in writ
ten form by merely setting a trap
for it, so to speak, and by which all
explorers might locate his position
On the face of the earth by wireless,
within 33 feet of exact, is the inven-
ton of two government scientists
working in the bureau Of standards.
Another government department, the
Coast and Geodetic survey, expects
to save by the use of it this sum-
mer, three times as much as it cost
to perfect the invention and make
two of the machines. The whole
achievement is one more illustration
of the value of scientific research by
the government departments, which
gets mere scanty support.
The machine itself, simple look
ing affair, which weighs about 25
pounds, exclusive of the two storage
batteries and the metal chronograph
drum, is the result of research work

The first reports from Pueblo,
Colo, indicated that 500 persons had
lost their lives in the flood. A spe-
cifc instance of 200 deaths was given
in the washing away of two passenger
trains stranded on the tracks. The
official reports, issued Sunday last,
however, gave the number losing
their lives at 40. The Imagination of
the reporters covering this catastro-
phe must certainly have been great

The federal court has handed
down a decision restraining the Geor-
gia railroad commission from inter-
fering with the Augusta-Aiken Rail-
way and Electric company from rails
ing its passenger rate in Augusta to
ten cents. The commission had pre-
viously refused to allow the increase,
whereupon the railroad took the case
to the United States court. The
ground for the order is, we believe,
that the company is incorporated un-
der the laws of another state, al
though the property involved in the
increase is in the state of Georgia:
Between the federal courts and the
Interstate Commerce commission, the
states have very few rights left to
them. The people of Augusta are up
in arms, and it appears to be certain
that the railroad is going to lose
heavily, rather than gain, by this pro-

day morning
on Thursday morning at chapel
the Seniors appeared for the first
time in capes and gowns. Presi-
dent Walter Hullihen was the chapel
speaker Of the morning and he spoke
on "The Academic Gown" DR..
Hunihen spoke of the gown as being
at once a symbol, a mark ana a
badge. The gown is a symbol of
academic life. life apart from the
work "a day world. Those who be-
lieve in college educators believe
that this period OF aloofness is good
for those who soon will take their
places in the world Il gives 20
them balance and helps them
to Judge things with the right
perspective. The gown is mark of
distinction and a sign OF reponsibil-
ity. Those wearing the cap and
gown have the peculiar responsible
ity of making their Alma Mater
worthwhile. They must initial ira
ditions or keep up traditions. The
cap and gown means that the seniors
are nearing the end OF their period
of probation. The college gown is
a very old institution. The origin
OF the gown is not quite clear. As
early as the eleventh century in the
Universities OF Paris and Bologne as
early as the fourteenth century at
Iff
the masters and scholars was spoken
Of. The colleges in Europe wear
bright colored gowns but the colleges
in America have adopted the black
gown. The colors on the gown de-
note in what department the degree
was taken. The colors in the de-
tached hood denote what college or
university conferred the degree.
The bachelors masters and doctor s
gowns differ in cut. President
Hullihen said that the college course
should have give the senior the abil-
ity to estimate things correctly in
their relation to life.
The college closed on Thursday at
two o'clock. Many OF the girls left
before two o'clock. The bad wealth
cr caused no one TO stop on her way
home. The famous $50 was filled
ESQ full that some overflow had tc
stand on the platform. The college
will not be entirely deserted how
ever, for a number OF girls are stay

or stray, homeless and friendless
boys
We're neglecting the greatest OPP
portunity in the world in not pay
ing even as much attention to our
boys as we pay to our garbage.
II wish 1 could awaken parents.
and especially fathers not only to
their responsibilities. but to their
great opportunities"
Doyle says most fathers don't
know how to be real dads. He tells
them they ought 70 learn. for their
own sake as well as their sons, to
work with them, play with them and
"be one with them"
Asked il all of his 27 boys lived
in his own home, Doyle laughed as
he said:
what do you think my house is,
hotel?
Il remember one OF the kids that
I picked up late-one night. He was
newsboy, and with all due respect
to the kid, had him sleep that first
night in the garagei The next day
we got him cleaned up and dressed
in some decent clothes and then I
took him into the house and kept
him until 1 found a home for him
with private family.
Il do that with all the boys as
soon as I can. I make sure that
have the right people to look after
them and then I get them started 10
school. As soon as they are old
enough, I help them to get jobs.
1--WE have family gatherings as
often as possible"
This foster-father of 27 children
was living in New York some years
ago and late one night happened &c
be walking along Broadway in the
neighborhood of 32d street.
He heard a child's whimpering or,
and turning to investigate found q
drunken father abusing and beating
his little newsboy son.
Doyle stopped the drunken father
made friends with the lad, and after
arranging matters with the boys
family, proceeded to adopt his frs
son.
The boy entered school, became ;
mining engineer, Joined one Of thu
Canadian regiments in the great war
and rendered valuable service to th'
Allies.
