A Netabe Occasion.
W. WILLIAMSBURG. Yorktown, Jamestown


w no other three names have quite equal
importance in the history of America. These
cities are within stones throw of each other
and today are closely related in their interests
and in that persistence of the spirit OF fellowship
which bound them, in those FIRST. years OF the
founding of America. Jamestown was the hrst
permanent English settlement and the hrst capital
of Virginia. In 1909 the capital was removed to
Williamsburg and remained there eighty-one years.
1t was there Patrick Henry made that appeal
which still thrills American hearts. 1t was at
Yorktown CORVALLIS surrendered. just I4o years
ago today and American independence was assured
In such surroundings, with this historic back
ground, with this original leaven of Amercanism
still quickenng and stirring is the College of Will
lam and Mary. the first school of higher education
founded in this country. If education is inspra-
ton, If it is the founding of character, if it is
the development of moral strength, if it is foster
ing high ideals in the soil Of practical American
ism, there is other spot in America where
the atmosphere is so saturated with these educa-
tional elements as to soak into the very being
of young men and young women.
The United States needs William and Mary,
and there will be national interest and satisfaction
at its new lease of life and evidence Of rapid
growth in student numbers and sustaining
finances shown by the ceremonies of today at
ident. 1t is a notable gathering which will be
there to testify to the educational prominence
and institutional substance of the college President
Harding heads the distinguished guests and with
him will be representatives of nearly dozen OF
the other most prominent universities and colleges
Jamestown and Yorktown will be visited and
will be made part of the occasion. Degrees
will be granted and among these the priority
in importance will be that conferred upon the
President of the United States, reciprocal honor,
as William and Mary the college of Thomas
Jefferson; of James Monroe, John Tyler and John
Marshall. while George Washington was one of
its chanceors. In this setting, which fairly oozes
history, with such scholastic surroundings in such
assemblage of distinction DR.. Chandler will be
installed
He is himself OF the most prominent
educators of the South. 1t is to him Richmond
owes a school system which ranks among the
first of North and South. 1t is to him Virginia
owes much of its impulse in modernized education,
and. under him William and Mary will lead in
unifying, systematizing and forcefully developing
public education in Virginia. He was trained in
the big and broad school and has that vision
which sees education the inheritance of all
Americans, to be denied to none.

Are We Pooling Ourselves?

THE people of the United States are "hard-up."
i Everyone verbally agrees as to this. The
present is one of the most serious periods of de-
preston since the gold-sver panic. No one denies
this. There millions of men who idle and
without means of self-support The only dis
pute here is to the number of millions. The in
dustres of the country generally closed or
operated part time. ...-..-.-
But autoists estimate that last Sunday afternoon
on the road between Washington and Baltimore
about 40 miles, there were $Io.oooooo worth of
motor cars loaded with what an old chap once
called pleasure sneakers" The championship
baseball series had over 100000 of gate receipts
average of 100000 day. And now comes the
cheering report that the skirts of womens street
gowns are to be longer calling for added expen-
diture of $soooo,ooo.
This last expenditure at least has the saving
grace of employing labor. 1t is estimated that it
will make market for 100000 more yards of
cloth and will employ 10000 more workers in fash
ionng and refashioning dresses.
But all this brings the query as to whether we,
as a nation, really hard-up only think we
are, The banks full of money and the parks
are full of idle en. The elevators are full of grain
and millions of stomachs are empty Miners are
idle while countless thousands shiver. Do we
mean it, is it fact or are we bluffing ourselves?

WITH THE LEGION.

The charge that there are takers,
goidorickers and compensation chasers'
among American disabled men, was
classed as loose talk" by DR.. Thomas
w. Salmon in his appeal before the
American Red Cross for the disabled
soldier.
Ut. Salmon Is a member Of the
capitalization committee Of the Ameri-
can Legion and Is director of the ma
tional committee for mental hygiene
The constantly recurring statements
that there are about 5000 empty beds
IN government hospitals are circulated
to defeat the proper care Of tuber-
culous and mental patients, according
to the director. who explains that
those beds constitute the reserve which
every hospital in active service needs.
Let US silence counsels Of false
economy. hopelessness and suspicion
and put the performance Of this sacred
duty Of caring for our disabled on
the high level Of patriotism which
backed up these men in France" DIR.

PROSPERITY WRECKERS BUSY

News items from all parts of the
country daily tell Of thousands OF
workers being laid off because they
have produced too much" and of thous-
ands Of others being notified of steep
wage reduction for the same reasons.
This coming right on top of the
conspiracy to reduce farm prices be-
low the cost of production indicates
that the plutocracy thinks it has the
power to ~overturn the Republic and
reduce the farmers and workers to
their ancient position as outcasts of
society.
We think they have another think
coming, but what we started out to
ask was this; If the argument made
by Big Biz against rising farm prices
and wages was correct that the farm
ers and workers could not possibly
gain thereby as the cost of living would
mount faster than their incomes, Their
does it not logically follow that nc
orce except Big Biz, a possibly
gain by declining farm prices and
wages, and for the reason that every
such decline must necessarily be fol-
lowed by a further decline until the
often drops out? If the first argu-
melit is sound, the second is most GER
tain1y sound also.
If this country is on Big Biz
logic much longer, it won't be long
before this country is IN the rocks.
On'y the farmers and workers can
now save this country for prosperity.
