merce, was participated in by about nine
II representative business and prOfes-
sional men Of the city, and also by sew
eral feminine guests.

trip. which was made in two special
traction cars, by Mrs. ". S. Moore, presi-
dent Of the Pitman-MOore company; G
y. Angst, secretary treasurer Of the
company; s. W. Ruch. sales mana ger,
and z. V. Hawkins, advertising manager,
and among the guests were Col John A.
McAllister and Capt. John V. Rowan, who
are stationed at Fort Benjamin Har-
risOn.
One Of the features OF the trip,
necessitated by the size OF the party and
the number Of departments visited, was
the arrangement that had been made at
the laboratories for handling the visitors.
The visitors were divided into groups OF
twenty. with a guide in charge Of each
group. and they moved from one de-
partment TO the next on signal sounded
Icy a steam whistle. In this way all CON
fusion was avoided and each OF the
guests was enabled 10 obtain a clear in
sight into the work that was being
carried on. T. each department the work
OF the department was described by the
expert IN charge Of IL.

vail, a righteous public opinion. Sc
crecy will make futile this mighty force.
With open sessions and full publicity,
diplomacy's hidden designs will succumb
to world public opinion.
The men who meet in November are, af-
ter ALL but mere trustees. trustees of hun
dreds of millions. The hundreds of mil
lions are entitled to know what their few
chosen agents contemplate and are doing.
To invest these trustees with omnipotence
and to endow them with an inviolate
sacro-sanct character is a reversion to
what we had hoped the great war forever
had destroyed.
Dull, indeed, have Americans become,
If no lesson has been learned in the past
seven years. Hopeless is the future If
the same sinister forces can again, in
da rkness, juggle with the worlds fate.
Full and frank discussion, open sessions,
complete publicity and an enlightened and
righteous public opinion will mark a new

What memories these statements arouse.
How familiar they sound. How often
we heard them before the making of the
Versailles treaty. And the wonderful
and remarkable thing about them is
that some of the newspapers and poll
tfcians and statesmen who most scath-
ingly denounced the reputation of open
covenants" openly arrived at at Yer
sailles in 1919, now are the stanchest
defenders of secret agreements, secretly
arrived, at, at Washington in 1921.
Constantly and continuously until No
vember there should be the frankest dis
cussion Of every phase Of the conference.
The people should demand open sessions
and fullest publicity.
At the coming gathering, arrayed on
the armament side, will be the most
powerful of worlds iniuences-militar
ism yet dominant in many countries, the
greed of those who profit by war, all
the evil lusts of imperial power. Against
these, one mighty force alone can pre-

SAYS
FARLEY MUST
BE HELD OPEN
Publicity Is Only Safeguard
of the People, He De-
clareS.
SECRECY IS DANGEROUS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Secrccy may
spell failure for the forthcoming arma-
ment limitation conference, according to
Senator Hiram Johnson, who declares in
the following public statement that
open sessions and the fullest publicity
should be demanded by all peoples as
their only safeguard"
BY HIRAM JOHNSON,
Senator from California.
The desideratum of the armament linz
itation conference is the reduction of
ornaments, that the crushing burdens OF
taxation may be lessened and that wars
may be less likely. Every extraneous
element introduced ccmDlicates the sit
uation and makes accomplishment more
difficult. Because this is so obvious,
many who look forward hopefully to
new world era, regret the injection into
the conference of the vexatious Far East
ern question, Whether the solution of
the problems Of the Far East IS a con
dition precedent to consideration Of dis
armament, we do not know, or do we
know just what is meant by the Far
Eastern question. If general rules of
international conduct in the Orient are
to be prescribed, perhaps agreement may
be reached without much difficulty. But
the mere suggestion Of Shantung and
Manchuria, of the open door" and the
Lansing Ishii agreement with its differ
ing interpretations, Of spheres of infiu-
ence in China, of Korea and Siberia, in
dictates the possibility Of contention and
delay. the almost insuperable distances
which must be overcome before the real
subject Of the meeting even is reached.
SECRECY MAY
SPELL FAILURE.
The sinister thing which may spell
failure for the conference is secrecy.
Already an atmosphere is being created
by the old familiar propaganda to taboo
discussion and prevent free expression.
II is gravely asserted that frank ex
preston Of opinion In America concern
ing the matters of consequence which
may come before the conference must not
he INDUCED in, that discussion be stilled,
lest we offend the delicate sensibilities
Of those from abroad. In the Senate We
have been admonished that suggestions
will be futile bad manners" In due
time. we are told. all matters viii be ar
ranged and there VIII be the largest
measure of publicity compatible with
getting the business done" THE "com-
patible measure of publicity" Will be
that some official will dole out In homeo-
pathic doses to the people, open sessions
are sneeringly derided. We are plying
ly and sorrowfully advised that treaties
cannot be written with town meetings.

STILL CRITICAL
Every Agency Fighting for HI
Life Partial Paralysis
Is Feared

The following telegram was re-
ceived here today from NJ. F. Heth-
erington relative to the condition of
A. j. Holworthy:
with every available agency fight
ing desperately for his life at the
Waynesville hospital, A. j. Hol-
worthy's condition continues very
critical. After lying in a state of
coma Sc hours, he regained partial
consciousness this morning, and some
hope is entertained. His complete
breakdown, which he and his friends
have been fearing several months,
and which caused resignation from
the post of secetary of the chamber
of commerce, came shortly after his
arrival at Balsam. He was rushed
here, where the best physicians and
two trained nurses are in charge.
Partial paralysis is feared but it is
hoped it will not be permanent"

Healing Mission held special prayer
service at All Saints Episcopal church

In the city court Tuesday morning
the usual number of speeders and the
like were disposed of and w. l.. King
of Lakeland and Catcher Brown of the
Tampa ball team were dismissed on a
charge of fighting. Brown, however.
was fined $40 for use of profane lam
guage This case grew out of little
difficulty at the ball park Monday af-
ternOon. Mr.. King, who was sitting
in his car, had been INDUCING in a lit
tie more kidding" than Brown could
stand. The player came at Mr.. King
with what the latter feared was bellig-
ercnce in his eye, and Mr.. King reach
cd up with one foot and pushed him
away. This is as by-standcrs saw it,
and the fighting charge did not hold
against either gentleman, but Catcher
Brown is said to have been more
forceful than elegant in expressing
his feelings.
