LAW MUST EDUCATE
TO HELP DEMOCRACY
SAYS RABBI WOLSEY

"If we encourage religious, racial
and social hatreds in our American
life, then democracy has not succeed

Euclid Avenue Temple, Cleveland, in
an address before the chautauqua
assembly, Thursday night. Rabbi
wolsey's SUBJECT was America
Thorough-going Democracy"
Our declaration of independence,
indicates the purpose of our demo
cratic organization of life, namely,
that each individual might have the
right to life. liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
THAT democracy means the partici-
patton OF every individual in the func-
tons of government This used to be
the dominant character of our people
when the population was rural. In
those days every man would gather at
the post office or around the stove at
the corner store to talk over the af-
fairs of government.
Law Is to Educate.
''The purpose of law is education.
Unless the individual citizen has been
taught by law both to control himself
and to place himself intelligenuy at
the service Of society, then all of our
legislation is in vain.
With all of our compulsory attend
ance at public schools. General Per-
shing reported that one out of every
four OF the men in his army were illit-
crate. That is an appalling fact. I'm
less society has the right attitude to-
ward education not even the law can
force education.
THE attitude of society toward edu-
cation is reflected in the fact that
there are 10000 vacant school rooms
in America today. There are 5000
vacant Protestant pulpits and hun
dreds of vacant chairs in the colleges

Europe never understood our system
or our purposes until Lincoln had
made clear what we were and what
we had been fighting for when in his
Gettysburg speech he defined Ameri

The thought had been deeply in

the comedy human vein as well as the
dramatic incidents that mark the fila

Ways and Means Committee, whose
task is to find the revenue with
which to pay the bills under the new

cording to a statement by Jules
Dreyfus, chairman, following Tues
days long session.
By vote of the committee, the
revenue from the new inheritance
tax. will be turned into the general
fund. instead of into the school fund.
It will yield from 100000 to $780,

The license tax, it is now estimated,
will yield from 100000 to 100000
more than at first expected.

provision had been inserted for col

PICRIC ACID DISTRIBUTION TO
FARM Frs.

The Extension Division of the Lou
isiana State University, appointed as
distributing agency, is perfecting the
plan by which the farmers will be
able to obtain explosive for stump
and ditch blasting.
The Picric Acid, in bulk. is given
free by the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture.
The cost to the farmers will be
only:
l. For packing in cartridges and
cases of 100 lbs, f. 0. b. Six Co
cents per pound.
2. For distributing, pooling ord
ers, taking care of cars at point of
destination, etc, one % cent per
pound.
Total for material Z cents per
pound or $500 per case of 100 lbs.
3. Freight at carload rate to near
est point of distribution, approx
mately SO so per hundred.
4. For caps and fuse, based on
average necessary for stump blasting
per 100 pounds case, at wholesale
price delivered prepaid at same point
as the explosive, about G lie per
pound of explosive.
The total cost, ready for use, will
probably be under II 1-2 cents per
pound, less than half the price of
dynamite.
The Picric Acid has about % per
cent more power than dynamite and
is more easy to handle.
The Extension Division will not
attempt to furnish caps, wire and
electric defamation for explosive. The
orders for Pieric Acid for ditching
will be filled and delivered as for
stump blasting, but only information
will be given to farmers or mer-
chants desiring to procure detona,
tors for ditching.
Orders will be taken for quantities
of from 100 pounds to 1000 pounds.
Blanks will be ready for applica-
ton orders in short time, and vii
be sent to parties having already in
quired, and also to all the Extension
Parish Agents.
All information necessary will be
furnished by the Extension Division
