time while awaiting the return of

A dispatch from St. Petersburg to
the Tampa Times says:
Miss Rowena Longmire of the Col
lege for Women at Tallahassee, was
elected president of the association
today, the first woman ever to hold
that Office. The executive committee
is to select secretary, who will be
paid and will also choose the place
for the next meeting. The convention
this afternoon holds no session, the
time being given to entertainment.
Tonight is the closing session with
addresses by DIR. A. S. Otis of Yonk-

ident of Peabody College.

81 do not believe in the propaganda
which is being spreal in this country
for the abolishing of the, national
hymn" he declared. 'I do believe that
a certain internationalism getting into
our schools is a dangerous thing be-
cause the word international today
is connected with only one govern
ment in the world and that govern
ment does not wish internationalism
of all the people of all nations, but of
only one. class, which shall become
predominant over all other classes,
which no true American desires"

FLEXIBLE GOVERNMENT.

Whatever may be the final form of
the tariff bill. it seems likely to retain
the provision giving the tariff commits
sion. by authority of the President, the
right to modify duties from time to
time within reasonable limits. to suit
changing trade conditions. This plan
would be a marked improvement over
the old, infexible rate schedule, if adj
ministered ably. without prejudice or
partisanship, and would do much to
make the tariff matter of national
business rather than national politics..
1t may well be asked why a similar
policy should not be applied to immigril-
ton. The old way was to let in any
number of immigrants, so that the coun
try was sometimes swamped. The pres
ent way is to admit a number which de-
ponds on a percentage plan that makes
it rather definite and arbitrary. Would
it not be far better to give the executive
department, through an immigration
commission, power to regulate the vol
ume of immigration from year to year
and season to season, according to the
industrial needs of the country? Canada
does that now, and as a result immigra-
ton there has become q comfortable as
set rather than an uncontrolled liability

turer $4,000. He says he can have a
safe opened silently and without hands,
typewriter write without a visible
operator. an unseen orchestra play and
ghostly figures float through the air, all
with every person present handcuffed to
his chair-that all these are merely
tricks of his trade.
The ghost breaker made the same
offer to Maurice Maeterlinck and Sir
Oliver Lodge when they were in the
country. They refused on the ground
that the proposition was cheap and I'M
dignifed." 1t win be interesting to see
what Sir Arthur decides.
There is this to be said for the posi-
ton taken by the spiritualistic gentle
man. The fact that the magician can
perform all these things proves only
that he can do them, that they can be
done without spirits. 1t does not prove
that communication with the dead is i'm
possible.
A great many people confuse these
two things. Magic" whether produced
by materialistic or psychic means, is one
thing. Communication with the dead is
wholly different thing, having no nee
essary connection with the other.
If the country is to be deluged with
books and lectures and discussions on
spiritualism, it is well to keep ones head
clear on fundamentals

CONSTRUCTIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP

BY no statesman anywhere, perhaps
| has the worlds need of the hour been so
fehcitously expressed as by Lloyd
George in his address at the opening of
the Genoa conference. He urged the
motley group of diplomats and experts
to set to work mot in a spirit of greedy
vigilence over selfish interests, but with
a common desire to do the best to re-
store the world to its normal condition
of health and vigor."
This might be done, despite its diff
culties, he suggested, if the men pres
ent would adopt a constructive attitude
rather than a critical one, and measure
the success of the conference by the
they prevented
We must not roll powders in front
of the pillow. Let US think more of what
can be accomplished than of what, can
be restricted.
Public opinion in various countries is
concentrated on various things. and it
is not easy to reconcile these divergent
opinions, even when they are not con-
flicting But, he added:
Public opinion is not a rigid fact, like
| the Alps or the Apprentices. 1t is amen
able to guidance, to direction to the ap-
peal of reason and conscience; and l
feel confident that in every way it will
yield a coed deal to an appeal made to
its mind and heart by the common
craftsmanship of Europe. 1t can be
taught that the good of another coun-
try IS not necessarily an evil for its
own; on the contrary, that which bene-
fits all lands must necessarily be best
for its own
Is this not the real solution for what
ever international problems are at all
capable of solution? Too much has been
made of the, prejudices, animosities and
doubts existing in the public mind in
every country, with regard to other
countries. 1t is probably no exaggera-
ton to say that most of this popular
hostility exists in peoples minds because
it was implanted there by public lead
ers, and continues there because it is
still fed by infammatory utterances of
public men.
1t has proved, more than once in re-
cent years, that the masses will rise to
unexpected heights of liberality and
ideaism, when public leadership appeals
to their highest qualities rather than
their lowest. This might be true even
now, in a world seemingly given over to
suspicion and hort-sighted selfishness,
if statesmen could make a bold, strong,
clear appeal to the masses as they did
during the war.
The only possible solvent for this mu-
tually destructive insistence on petty
local and national interest, as against
the big, universal interest, is goodwill.
Why not preach that? And act it?

Talk of Major MeCuen.

burlington DAILY NeWS.)
Politics in connection with the con-
gressional situation in the first district
are looking up and among the new
names being prominently mentioned is
that of Major MeCuen. now collector of
internal revenue at Burlington.
There is no question that if Major
McCuen gets into the race but that he
will be a very strong candidate With
legal, business and newspaper training
as well as an excellent war record to
back him Major McCuen certainly shapes
up like a likely Sman if he can be in
duced to shy his hat into the arena.
Aside from the business part of his
experience in life the major possesses a
very likeGble personality and personal
attributes of other kinds that generally
ride with "A winner.
Major McCuen, it is understood. is be-
ing very strongly urged to enter the race
by his legion of friends but up to this
time has had nothing to say concerning
his intentions.
in the meantime considerable pressure
is being brought to bear on him daily to
announce his intentions and it is possible
the desire of his friends to send him to
Washington may prove the impelling
motive that will send him into the po-
litical arena.
