President Harding has been taken
to task by Representative Tom Con-
nally (Dem., Tex.), for attacking the
farmers bloc" and at the same time
doing the bidding of the "tarifl
bloc" Among other things Repre-
sentative Connally said:
81 would like to have some one
rise in his place who has the ear OF
the upper councils, and point out to
the Congress and the country when
it was that the manufacturers bloc,
having for its purpose the extortion
by legislation of tremendous profits
from the agriculturalists and the
consumers of the Nation, was ever
called to the carpet and lectured
and it's actions denounced. When,
let me ask, was it that that little
group in New England, who went
before the Committee on Ways and
Means and asked a tariff tax on
boots and shoes and leather, and at
the same time demanded that hides
be admitted free. was ever the sub
ject of presidential wrath such az
we are advised was exhibited against
the farm bloc?"

DUxBURY HAS ALDEN HOUSE
Massachusetts, Town Proud Of His.
toric Abode That Dates Back
to the Year 1858.

One Of the most important Of the
Old-time houses that are associated
with the Pilgrims of the Mayfiower is
the Alden house at Duxbury, Mass,
lately acquired by the Alden kindred
of America.
The Aldens, John and Priscilla, with
seven others Of the Mayflower PHI.
grims, went from Plymouth to settle in
Duxbury in 1927, seven years after the
landing Of the Mayf1ower and three
years before the founding Of Boston.
They built house that stood on a
knoll not far away from the existing
one. and there their children were
born.
The present house was built by the
eldest son, Jonathan, in 1858, and has
the remarkable record of having been
In the possession Of Aldens from that
day to this.
notable feature of the house is the
existence of certain secret passages
and hidden stairs whose location
would never be suspected. The house
dates back to the days of witchcraft
and Indian wars; and notwithstanding
the new freedom brought by the Pill
grims, there was no saying when op-
portunities for concealment and es-
cape might come in handy.

The testimony of William G.. Nc
Adoo, former Director General of
Railroads, before the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the Senate,
in reply to criticisms of his admin
istration of the transportation lines
is generally regarded as a complete
vindication of Mr.. McAdoo and a
drastic indictment of the manage
ment of the roads prior to Federal
control.
His testimony, based on facts and
figures of record and upon state
ments of the railroad executives
themselves showed that under Fed
eral control, despite the burdens of
war and increased wages, the roads
had been efficiently and economically
operated, and that through efficient
operation the danger that our troops
in Europe would be cut off from
their base of supplies here was
averted.
While since the roads have been
returned to their owners they are
costing the public at the rate of
$54,774,731 per month more than
under Federal control, or $657,296,-
1872 per annum.

set at $3.50 year by the provisions
of the administration school bill
introduced in the House.
The bill likewise provides for
graduated raises in salary based on
years of service and the grade of
certificate held by the teacher. The
highest salary to be paid under the
terms of the bill to be graded school
teacher will be $3.50, to be paid to
teachers holding third-grade certifi-
Gates who have taught for eight
years in the States schools. The
minimum salary for high school
teachers will be $3.50 with pro-
portionate increases.
The provisions Of the bill like
wise require the county boards of
education to provide at least one
school for each election district for
colored pupils between the ages of
six and twenty, if the colored popu-
lation of the district warrants the
establishment of such schools. These
schools are to be kept open at least
eight months a year. The minimum
salary for colored school teacher
is set at $40 month.
Colored high schools are likewise
provided for with the stipulation
that they shall remain open at least
100 actual school days each year.
The minimum salary for a colored
high school teacher is fixed at sos a
month.
The bill makes it mandatory on
every board of county commissioners
to make sufficient tax levies to carry
out its provisions.

Henry Ford's Dearborn Independ-
ent calls attention to the significant
fact that the rottenness in Holly
wood never came to light until the
Arbuckle disaster. The facts were
known to hundreds of people, yet
every insinuation that the motion
picture industry needed a little
cleaning up, every effort on the part
OF its friends to bring about an in
terest in reform on the part of the
industry itself. was denounced Wig
orously as the efforts, of blue law
advocates to Cypress the American
people. AS Mr.. Ford's paper well
says: "The newspapers which can
afford to divulge their knowledge
when bestiality and violence have
torn the lid off, can more profitably
afford to divulge their knowledge
before the lid is torn on. Proven
tion is more useful than post-mor-
tenn denunciation." 1t is time for
the blue law rot to stop and for ali
good citizens to get together in an
effort to preserve every legitimate
interest in cleanliness for the
American people.

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCiATlON
AMERICAN PHYSICIANS vINDi-
CATE CONGRESS IN PASS
ING VOISTEAD LAW.

The Journal of the American
Medical Association has just pub
lished the results of an inquiry, dur
ing the course of which they receiv-
ed expressions of opinion from 81
lis physicians in regard to the
medicinal use of whisky, beer and
wine.
The report of this QUESTIONABLE
is a truly remarkable vindication OF
the Volstead law insofar as it ap-
plies to the medical profession.
The Volstead law allows the pre-
scription of whisky but restricts the
number of such prescriptions that
may be given in one month. A bare
81 per cent of these Bills physi-
clans, representing every State in
the Union and the District of Column
bia, believe that whisky should be
available for medical purposes, ana
So per cent of those replying believe
that the number of such prescrip-
tions should be restricted.
On the other hand, Congress in its
prohibition legislation has refused
to allow the prescription of beer ana
wine and in this particular also,
medical opinion over the country
supports Congress, for only 26 per
cent of those replying regard beer
as a necessary therapeutic agent:
and the favorable vote on wine was
\ only SO per cent.
Twelve per cent of the physicians
giving their decisions favor the alb
solute prohibition of the prescribing
of whisky, and there was very de-
cided and general opinion among
the doctors that the prohibition law
has not caused suffering by its re-
strictions upon the medical profess
sion. Seventy-eight per cent of the
physicians replying declared that
they had not observed any such suf-
fering in their practice.
Tabulated by States the vote
shows 10 States and the District of
Columbia favoring the use of
whisky, and 20 States opposed to it,
while every single State returned a
negative vote against beer and wine.

A well known travelling man who

most invariably recommended Cham

Detective, Fired Because OF Pris-
oner's Escape, Pays Own
Expenses in Chase.

Pittsburgh.-Patrick e. Moran. dis
charged detective of this city, handed
back to cheated justice a prize that
had been sought in the crime centers
of Philadelphia, New York City, and
Paris, France, when, In Wilkes-BarreS
Pa, he caused the arrest Of Rocco
Depippo, alleged master criminal,
whose escape caused MOran's dis
missal from the Pittsburgh force three
years ago after sensational charges OF
graft had been made against him.
When Depippo escaped, Moran took
up the chase on his own initiative,
paid all his own expenses in tracing
the man from city to city. and. when
he had cornered his prize, stepped
aside to enable Wilkes-Barre officers
TO make the arrest and claim the re-
ward. Moran wanted only to prove
that he had been falsely branded
when he was accused Of permitting
Depippo to escape.
Depippo faces in Pittsburgh indict-
ment on total of 3S counts for burg
larry and other charges. Moran's orig
inal warrant was served on Depippo
in Cherbourg, France. After being re-
turned to Pittsburgh, and released on
bail, Depippo escaped, due, it was
said, to MOran's connivance. Depippo
now asserts that he had accomplices,
but they were not connected with the
police department, and he absOlves
Moran from any assistance in his es-
| cape.
