THE WOMAN OF PoIsE.

Once a rarity, is now to be observed
and admired upon every hand. Indeed
no other woman can flourish long in
the midst of this modern, complicated
life. In the home, in business. in social
life, the woman who is serene and con-
fident wins. while the nervous, nust-
cred individual wastes her talents and
gets nowhere. OF course, poise is de-
pendent mainly upon sound health and
steady nerves. If you feel that you
are being kept back in this way, why
not turn to that great woman's remedy

pound, which was manufactured from
a thorough understanding of the ner-
vous system of women ?-Advertise

when the United States court con-
vened yesterday morning, and lasted
through the day.
Darrah, who, it is said. is an addict
Of the drug habit, was indicted by the.
last term of the federal grand jury on
a charge of violating the Harrison
narcotic act. His case was carried over,
however, and when he was called be-
fore the court Monday he was told to
appear Tuesday morning without fail.
But he did not show up yesterday
morning. United States Marshal Miller
and his deputies started out to find
him, and during the day every nook
and granny in the city was searched,
but Darrah could not be found. 1t
seemed as though he had departed for
parts unknown, and beyond the con-
fines of Pensacola, too
The marshal got an inside tip late
yesterday afternoon that his man was
secreting himself in ST. MichaePs Gem
etery, but that he would have to act
quickly if he expected to apprehend
him. The party that went out after
Darrah was composed Of Marshal Mil
Ter. Marshal Bowes, Deputies Mcmillan
and Odom, and Officer Hairelson of the
city police department., and Deputy
Raines Of the sheriffs office. They
surrounded the cemetery, gradually
closing in and making minute search.
Their efforts were finally rewarded
and Darrah was dislodged from the
confines of the vault - literally
snatehed from the resting place of the
departed! He will be arraigned for
trial at an early date.

association movement have succeeded In
winning friends to the organization as
has DR.. Harte, a winsome personality
with the grace and charm of a South-

fractions which grow out of unselfish
life service of a high order. DIR. Harte

friendships with simplehearted village
christians, with all sorts and kinds of
students. with rajahs and maharajahs
and all other native princes of all ranks
as well as with the distinguished rep
resentatives of the British crown"
DR.. Harte is in America on a furlough
and is making a tour of the Southern

Milton Fought Censorship
300 Years AqO

THE British "printing ordinance" required that all
writing must be passed and licensed for printing
by one of the official censors, and registered in the
books of the Staoners Company before publication.
Milton printed his work divorce regardless of that
ordinance and in 1914 he wrote the most eloquent of his
prose works. the Areopagitica, plea "for the liberty
of unlicensed printing addressed to the Parliament of
England"
This by way of protest. he published without sub
mitng it to any and without registering ii with
the Stationers Company. He had definite idea even
in that early day to the rights of thinkers and pro-
ducers He denounced that act as unworthy of that
Parliament and unworthy of the new of English
liberty.
The act not repealed, but the licensing idea had
received its death blow Milton and others continued to
publish dsregardng both the act of Parliament and the
protest of various bgos that wanted the right lecde
in advance what another should be permitted to
say
Opponents of modern censorship might study Milton's
method

LeaUen in the Human
Loaf.

n EOPLE amiably take it for
granted that the man who
= does a wicked deed has, in
spite of his faults, some good in
him.
But the man who, actuated by
a true heart and a high impulse
of duty, free from selfishness,
vanity or greed, does a noble deed,
is instantly suspected by nine
people in every ten of insincerity,
hypocrisy, and hidden motive.
Though we may refuse to admit
1t and may not even realize or
guess it to be so, the actual fact
is that a high-minded, pure
hearted act arouses human envy
as nothing else can.
1t is our subconscious tribute
TO virtue.

INTOLERANCE
BY S. E. klSER.

7 FIND it hard to curb my strong desire
i To Law some kind of punishment on Jinks;
I wish that might set his house afire,
Because his faith is full of crazy kinks.
I've tried to reason with him; | have shown
him
The childishness of his religious views;
I get so angry that I'd like to stone him
For taking the blind course that ne pur-
sues.
THE fool-and this is most exasperating-
i Insists that | am wrong and he is right;
Well. God. I have no doubt, is merely waiting
To put the poor boob's cocksure faith to
flight;
Lord, how l shall enjoy his howls for pity,
His climbing up and then his headlong
When I, with wings, in the Celestial City,
7 VOTE against all candidates who follow
i The hateful path in which his feet are
set;
Their faith is something that | cannot
Their progress is thing that regret.
My Faith alone will save, you can't deny it
At least, you can't convince me that IN
wrong!
Why can't we all be wisely guided by it?
How much more smoothly we should get
along.
T TREMBLE very often for our nation,
i Because men lacking the true faith
succeed
| fear that there is too much toleration
For those who can't or won't accept my
creed
What right should they be given to aspire
Who scorn the true belief, which l
possess?
I'd like to see them wrthing in hell fire;
Those who reject my faith deserve no less i!

Recognizing Russian
Patriotism.

HOT all Russians are either
III Bolshevists or Czarists, So
~ cial democrats or revolution
lists Of some sort.
1t is easy to believe that the
vast majority merely are-Rus-
SLAMS. Pretty much as most of
US Americans are just Americans.
One of that type of Russian,
who is closely identified with the
Lewisohns and the copper indus
try here in America, recently sent
the following cablegram to Tchit-
cherin at the Genoa conference
I most heartily welcome the
unflinching and dignified atti-
tude of the Russian delegation
at the Genoa conference IN safe
guarding Russia's most vital
interests, patrimony and eco
nomical and political indepen-
dence.
I equally welcome your en-
tightening statements, policy
and leadership, also your un-
faltering endeavor to re-estab-
lish Russia prestige and to as
sert her sovereign and legiti-
mate rights for so long vicious
ly and mercilessly downtrod-
den by both covetous and ad-
venturous foes.
I wish you all possible success
in attaining your goal, and
sincerely believe that an un-
biased readmission of Russia
into communicate life of the
nations, besides offering a proof
that not cupidity and ma
levolence alone, but also moral
ethics and equity are ultimately
to rule the destinies of the
world, will be of infinite bene
fit to humanity.
That type of loyalty to Russia
as such, under all political and
economic changes, must command
the respect of all who recognize
national patriotism as high form
of human devotion and as a de
pendable breeder Of human values

The freedom,
of the Seas

~ was created by the recent
conference to revise the rules
of warfare. Elihu Root is the
American member.
In the late war two abuses of
neutral rights were developed by
Germany and England.
Germany sought to prevent neu-
tral America from trading with
belligerent England by submarine
sinking of all ships bound for
England.
England sought to prevent neu-
trail America from trading with
belligerent Germany by forbid
ding passage of all goods bound
for Germany from America or
from Germany to America. Brit
ish cruisers stopped and confis-
Gated such cargoes.
Both the British and German
practice violated the undeniable
rights of neutrals. America has
stood for 1875 years for the prin-
ciple of the Freedom Of the Seas,
which means the immunity of
private property at sea in war
time, except war materials.
No oversee country can rely
upon American exports essential
to life or business if these ex-
ports can be cut off by a war in
which we and our European Gus
toner are not belligerents, but
Ineutrals.
The American delegates should
fight for abolition of all practices
which infringe upon the rights
of neutrals on the seas. To for
bid illegal blockades by subma-
rines and not to forbid illegal
blockades by surface ships would
lead not to peace, but to more
wars. That policy has already
drawn us into three foreign wars.
1t is in high degree dangerous to
the United States.

GrOVing Accustomed to
Wonders.

T HE quickness with which the
world adjusts itself to mar
= vels is proverbial. A quarter
of century ago we stood gap
ing on the sidewalk to watch an
automobile go by, today we do
not even move to the window to
look when we hear the whirring
motor of an airship.
Tucked in an inconspicuous
corner of the news was a little
item of eleven lines announcing
a radio concert to be broadcasted
from an airplane 5000 feet above
the city of New York. Twenty
five years ago, either the air
plane or the radio would have
made the whole world gasp with
wonder. Today the marriage Of
the two marvels is worth eleven
lines. The world do move.
The Washington times., 1922-05-11
Tariff Us.
Sales Tax
4 CAMPAIGN is being waged
against the higher import

- ~
duties on linens in the new
tariff bill.
1t is pointed out that almost
no linens are now manufactured
in America, so this schedule of
the tariff will not protect industry
nor workmen here. The linen
duty is simply a revenue tax.
Towels now selling at $6 per
dozen will have to sell for $7.25
or $3.50. Quite tax!
Compare it with the small
manufacturers sales tax recon-
mended by the President to pay
soldiers bonus. A tax of 1R
per cent on manufactured prod
ucts-excluding fuel and most
foodstuffs-would raise $4OO, ,0O0,-
600 per year. On articles costing
$6 per dozen, the tax collected
from the manufacturer would be
9 cents per dozen.
If Canadian experience is any
guide, in half the cases this in
significant tax would be absorbed
by the manufacturer or whole
saler and not passed on to the
consumer.
Isn't it little ridiculous, this
agitation against the bonus taxi
UNIFORMED members of the
farm bloc stand up on the floor
of the House and predict popu-
lar revolution if general sales
tax is passed, which would make
articles now Sc per dozen cost
9 cents per dozen more. But only
McCutcheon's voice is raised
against import tax increases
which will make articles now Sc
per dozen cost at least $l.25
more.
The President was right in his
contention that money for the
bonus should be collected by a
bonus tax. He was right IN
recommending a small manufac-
turers' sales tax as the right kind
of bonus tax.
A million citizens have signed
the petition of the Hearst papers
for a bonus financed by a sales
tax. Their signatures have been
delivered at the Capitol. The
next million will follow soon.
The country wants what the
President wants. Let's have it.

less speech making has its origin in the name
Of a county in North Carolina and came about
in this wise: Years ago, in Congress- sthe mem.
Der from this district arose to address the
House without any extraordinary power, in mat.
ter or manner. to interest the audience. Many
members left the hall. Very naivey he told
those who remained that they might go too.
He should speak for some time, but he was
only talking for BunCombe;' the idea being
that the speech would be printed and distrib-
uted back home.
