The School Bond Issue

We would suggest to our friends
who are advocating and opposing the
school bond issue that for the pres
ent they withhold their arguments
for and against this question mas
much as the same ground will have
to be threshed out by the same par
ties when the referendum is taken on
the bill and just so surely as the bill
is passed just so surely will there be
g referendum.
We would suggest that instead OF
arguing school bond issue at TINS
time they devote their time and tai
ents to ascertaining how the tire
menduous expenditures of Dorches-
ter county can be reduced in oroer
that the tax rate may be kept as low
as possible, for surely there must be
a reduction in the expenditures DUR
ing the next fiscal year OF around
$4,000 to keep the rate the same as
at present without any bond issues.
In this connection it might be well
to state that there is considerable
talk of a referendum upon the S2Oo,-
600 Floating Indebtedness bond is
sue. Many tax payers take the po-
sition that if this bond issue is &C
cepted without a referendum that III
from four to six years more there
will be q similar floating debt.
Notwithstanding the size OF the Is
sue, 5000 900, we do not believe that
it covers the amount of the Indebted
ness. we believe that there will be
left from $4,000 to 100000 III
debtedness, just as there was after
the Floating bond Indebtedness OF
$4,000 in 1915. We kno" that
when the newly elected county com
missioners attempted to find out
what the floating Indebtedness OF
the county was that the former
treasurer and his assistant, the pres
ent treasurer and his assistant, the
clerk to the board, one of the COM
missioners, the counsel to the board
and former Governor Harrington
spent several days in trying to nfd
out what the Indebtedness was aLo
that tho figures as finally published
were Appropriated as we have the
original sheet in our ONCE.
Now the facts are these: The
county tax rate of $1.26 on the 500
In 1919 was increased to S1.63 in
1920 and was reduced three cents to
$3.50 in 1921 but the expense
OF the county in 1921, exceed
ed the income by $4,000 or As
cents on the 500 more than was lev
led In other words if the eXpend1-
lures of Dorchester county for the
fiscal year of 1922 arc as great as
they have been in the year 1921 the
tax rate to meet these expenses. so
that there may be no deficit, would
-haEFee to bess22 .99S3 instead OF 81 81,
this rate not including any bond is
sues of any character.
With these actual conditions ex-
listing; with the public asking for
and expecting such reduction we
submit that thoughtful men in both
parties should lay aside partisanship
and see if this problem cannot be
solved intelligently and for the re-
lief of the taxpayers of moderate
means who, after all bear the great
burden OF taxation. This is the
great problem now and it should not
be subordinated to others.

Social Club Entertains.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. h. Berglund enter
tanned the Social club last Wednesday
evening. A short business session
was held, but nothing of Importance
coming up, Mrs. HURT and Lew STEM
dahl were appointed program commit
tee for next time and Mr.. and Mrs.

following program was then rendered.:
Comic short sketches, Mr.. Pratt;
lecture, Mr.. Malm; recitation, Miss
Bishop; vocal solo, Mrs. Hanson;
recitation, Stella Schumacher; lecture
on patent medicine, Mrs. Pratt.
Several word contests were then en-
joyed and the game Of buzz, which was
then played, caused regular wave
of mirthfulness over the entire crowd.
In fact there were so many buzzes in
the 100 figures where they should not
have been and vice versa, that any,
one not knowing the tables of sevens
had the chance of their life to learn
them.
A splendid lunch was served at mid
night which received the same i'm
partial attention as these tempting

PATCHING UP KINGS sPEEoA
Serious Omission Recently Gave Brit
ish Parliamentary Authorities Z
"1ad Fifteen Minutes"

William Cobbett, who used to com
plain Of the bad grammar and the in
different English of the kings
speeches to parliament, surely never
contemplated the omission which
marked the kings speech at the open
ing Of the recent session. The speech
itself was remarkably short-139
words all told-and it came to a sud-
den stop without the usual invocation
of Gods blessing on the labors Of par
lament. When the king had departed,
the officials were Mortified at the
omission; and hastily sent up verbal
addition to the press. Some Of the
newspapers used it and some did not.
Nor was this all, for when the lord
chancellor in the house Of lords and
the speaker in the house Of commons
read out the speech at the afternoon
sitting, the invocation was there, but
the words were different from those
supplied earlier in the day. The Sc
cret history Of all these changes
would make interesting matter for a
modern Pepys.

Future Monarch Reared Simply.

In an article describing the train
ing of the fourteen-year-old prince Of
the Asturias, King Alfonso's heir, the
Madrid Heraldo says he is being
brought up in the atmosphere Of home
life that his parents love. Queen
Victoria, as we'll as King Alfonso, dis
likes all forms Of ceremonial, and
the prince is being trained as simply
as possible He has many tutors with
whom he visits factories, dockyards,
engineering works, newspaper offices,
museums and all centers Of culture
and activity. The customs Of the
Spanish court have prevented him
from entering university or military
college, but he will probably be sent
later on to military academy.
The prince is fair with blue eyes,
and for this reason he has the ap-
pearance of a foreigner" for Spain
is a country Of dark-eyed people. But
those who speak Of his foreign ap-
pearance maintain that he is thorough
ly Sanish. He speaks English and
French fluently and takes an active
interest in science and art-London

COULD NOT ACCEPT REWARD
But the Druggist Must Have Had His
Opinion Of Value Woman Put
on His Services.

The druggist had stopped in the
middle Of putting up difficult pre-
scription and deftly removed from the
woman's eye the cinder that had been
causing her great pain.
"Ah, thank you so much" she
gushed. "How much is it?''
Nothing at ALL" he replied courte~
ously.
20, but you should let me pay you
something-you really should? I'm
sure it would be only right to pay you
for your time. It took all of five min
utes-or at least we will call 1t five
minutes, though of course it wasn't
really so long-and If your time Is
worth So a day-and really I think
druggists should make that much,
though of course they do not work so
hard as carpenters or painters-why
that would come to-let me see, why
nearly 10 cents-or at least we will
call it 10 cents, though it would really
be only about cents, wouldn't it?"
"No, madam" the druggist replied
firmly. 1--WE are glad to do these little
services for our customers, and re-
call distinctly that you have bought
most Of your postage stamps here for
a long while" e."-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Mr. H0Over's Surgerv

Herbert Hoover's exposure of GER
tain so-called Russian relief agencies
is a public service which classifies as
skillful surgery upon movement
which demanded just that sort Of ac-
ton.
In revealing the background of the
collecting organizations formed by as
sistants to Martens, the soviet am
bassador, when he was sent home, Mr..
Hoover bares facts which all America
should know.
Reputable and established agencies
are distributing food throughout Rus
sia. Devoted workers are sacrificing
to the utmost that Russia's misery
may be alleviated through the great
heart of the American people. Why
should funds be confded to branch
of the Russian government which
stripped it's farmers of their food sup
plies and left them to pitiful fate?
Contributors to the relief organiza-
tions which Mr.. Hoover cites are ac-
tuated by a genuine desire to mitigate
Russia's distress. How much better,
however, that their desire find COM
plete expression through the Ameri-
can relief administration, our govern
ment's official machinery set up for
the purpose, than through some other
iagency which attempts to capitalize to
it's own advantage the spirit Of the
American people.
The Herald cannot commend toe
strongly Mr.. Hoover's exposure OF
these so-called Russian relief orga-

Seek Fossil Treasures.

Graves unmolested for hundreds OF
thousands of years, according to
scientists, were Jared to daylight at
Torrance, near Los Angeles, when a
blast of 100 pounds Of dynamite
pushed into the air fossils of anted1lu-
Wan beasts. It was treasure blast,
especially set for group Of California
scientists who visited the lime pits
which have given forth molars of the
two-toed horse, the saber-toothed IT,
ger, the giant sloth and other peculiar
inhabitants of the jungles which ex-
listed hereabouts half million years
or more before Los Angeles was
thought Of.
A whole mass of interesting discov-
cries was made in the debris Of the
explosion. Something of the size Of
these prehistoric monsters may be
cleaned from the fact that one tooth
measures about Is inches across the
ton and is from 18 to "a inches long.

Wei LSH TUNES HAVE SURVIVED
Traditional Melodies Still In Use,
- Though They Have Not Been
Committed to Paper.

Traditional Welsh music has found
place In the services of the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster.
The attention of DR.. r. D. Terry, the
organist Of the cathedral, was drawn
to the tunes some years ago by Devid
Lloyd George. At service Of benedic-
tion recently the 20 Salutaris hostia"
and the "Tantum ergo" were both
sung to ancient Welsh melodies. The
tune used for the latter is one Of the
prime minister's fav0rites. .
'These old tunes have been wonder
fully preserved" Doctor Terry told a
London Daily Mail reporter. "Many
Of them date from the pre-Reforma-
ton period. For centuries they were
not written down, but they were saved
by the Welsh genius for unaccom-
panied singing. They were handed
down from one generation to another.
'Many Of them have been recovered
and published in Welsh hymnals, but
unhappily in too many cases their
harmonies and even their melodies
were revised in accordance with the
musical ideals of the last century.
1T is still possible, however, to
hear them sung in all the beauty Of
their original form in remote Welsh
villages, and intelligent Welsh mu-
sicians Of today are realizing how
very much more beautiful these old
versions are. DR.. Walford Davies, a
Welshman who is now professor of
music at the University Of Wales,
may be trusted to see that good care
is taken of them.'

A Lesson in Americanization.

The stringency of the new Ameri-
can immigration law is bringing home
to the proletariat of Europe a full ap-
probation of the boon of liberty and
opportunity which they have lost.
American citizenship in the future
will be the more highly priced because
it is more difficult Of attainment.
What seemed commonplace before the
war because it could be had so easily
now fills the imagination Of the count
less hordes in the war-devastated
countries across the sea as one Of the
most priceless of privileges. It is a
good thing for America that this
should be so, for the native sons and
daughters of the republic will appre-
ciate their heritage the more.
Granting in full the measure of
gratitude which the United States
owes to those citizens by adoption
who, by the labor of their hands and
the sweat of their brows, helped to re-
claim wilderness to civilization, build
the transcontinental railroads and rear
great cities in the haunts Of wild
beasts, the balance of the debt is still
on the other side of the ledger. The
immigrant has always received more
than he has given.
The country is now having a breath
ing spell. It is period of assimila-
tion into which it has entered, the
first since the tides of humanity began
breaking upon the shores Of the At
lantic in the great migrations follow
ing the civil war. The American peo-
pie are guided more by instinct than
by logic in erecting the barriers which
now restrain still further floods of peo-
pie whom it is no longer possible to
absorb. The next decade will be de-
voted to the creation of a new race
in which the elements of native and
foreign stock will be blended in a
superior race of American men and
women. A new racial consciousness
in America is one of the most sig
nificant outgrowths of the world war.
