WASHINGTON COMMENT

There are those who cry "Educa-
ton, education!" believing that It is
the panac for all Ills, the means Of
ending all evil.
There are those who vociferate Re
ligion, religion!" equally sure that in
the pulpit and its teachings are the
SEEDS Of the millennium. and that
we need but to believe" to end all
our troubles, and solve all our prob
lens.
Finally, there are those who mix
their demands and ask for religion
in education" or education in re
ligion." These are they who want
the Bible taught in public schools;
these are they who insist the pulpit is
a forum for political, sectarian, scien-
tific and sociological discussion.
They forget, these enthusiasts, that
an absolute separation of church and
state is an American fundamental.
Exclusive of Sunday, there are 144
hours in the week. In the usual pub
lie schools 80 hours a week is devoted
to education. Why take from the 80
time to speak of the Bible. Why not
take from the ia hours not devoted
to education. for study of the Word?
What is Sunday for? For what is a
Sunday School?
Men go to church one, two, three
hours in week. Why use those
precious three hours to discuss books.
men, politics. wars, crime, sex
all the scare-head stuff the radical
preacher" as oppos to the sincere
minister of God, uses to attract"
people to the church?
There is a time and a place for
ev 5rything; a time and place for edu-
cation, and for religious instruction.
The school is no place to teach the
Bible, or religion; the pulpit Is no
place to teach geography or politics.
Leave education to the school, rein
troduce religious training to the
home, give the church chance to
do its work and the schools opportu-
nifty for theirs, and we will all be
better off, better educated, and more
honestly and sincerely religious.

THE CAUSEtOF
MANY ACCIDENTS

Automobile accidents are Great
ing such 'frightful casualty list
everywhere that their causes ought
to be carefully studied to deter
mine what habits and practices
among motorists most frequently
cause accidents.
One common cause of collisions
is the habit Of passing other cars
on curves in the road. Drivers get
irritated by having 70 drag behind
some slow moving machine on a
narrow and winding highway and
can't wait-uptil they reach clear
stretch of road whers they can see
ahead.
So they try to pass on~a curve,
but in so doing they get well over
on the left side. If another car,
hidden by the turn, happens to be
coming along in the opposite di-
rrection at high rate of speed, it
becomes difficult to~avoid a smash.
The driver who passes to the
right or who delays passing until
he is sure of clear road ahead,
stands a much better chance of
keeping out Of the law courts, also
out of the hospital and the ceme-
ttery.
Another cause of collisions is the
habit of not slowing down at street
corners aud turns.in the road. A
collision was narrowly averted in
Camden Sunday morning when two
cars, one from the east and one
from the south passed at the south
east corner of court square without
sounding horns. lit was a close
shave. 1t may be different the
next time.
Drivers and teamsters should re-
member that the risk of collisions
and accidents may be minimized
by going to the right and turning
to the right.

WILL FROST COME
EARLY THIS YEAR!

The weather wise farmers of old
Benton often gauge the arrival of
frost by the stage of development
of the common field ceckleburr, it
being generally accepted that when
the ceckleburr is found maturing
that Jack Frost is not far distant
in the offing.
At any rate it is certain that the
noxions weed will always mature
its seed in advance Of a frost of
any consequence. 1T is a fact that
if the plant reaches a height of only
three inches and has only one burr
it will develop, mature and ripen
before falling a victim to the raw
ages of frost.
If the burr is a criterion to.judge
by it would look like this section is
due to have cool weather early.
Fully matured burrs we're brought
to The Chronicle Office early in
July, and ye editor saw a cookie
.burrplant the other day bearing,
perhaps, half dozen full grown
burrs, one of which had turned
brown-practically ripened.
This may be taken to, mean that
we will have frost .at an unusually
early period, though we have found
mo one who will venture to forecast
the exact date. 1T is at least "a
peculiar weather phenomena and
will, no doubt, be watched with
more than usual. interest this year.

THE VALUE OF
PRICES IN ADS

The purpose of advertising is to
sell goods. Goods can be sold
through advertising by giving a
clear and concise description to
arouse the interest of the reader in
the goods. Then after the reader
has become favorably impressed
with the goods give the price, as
this is a~vital factor in convincing
the prospect.
Every person is more or less in.
terested in the price of goods.
Carefully compiled statistics show
that over rs per cent of the people
of the United States live on sal
ary of ST, 200 OF less per year. 1t
is very evident that most of the
people in the United States must
be economical. They must be e.sav-
ing and careful in their ezpendi-
tures, and they are careful. They
count the dollars, and when they
read an advertisement in the paper
they want to know the selling price
of the goods SO as to do some fig
uring of their own.
Someone has said that "money
talks" That is true, and lowering
the price of goods is always a most
effective selling argument. And
whether the advertiser lowers the
price or not he should never omit
the price of the seperate items he
describes, unless possibly the adver.
tising space at his disposal does not
permit him to describe specifically
SO the reader can Thoroughly under
stand the merits of the articles
In this latter case it is freq uently
customary to reserve the price fol
the catalogue which is sent out on
inquiry, or unit! the customer Wis.
it's the store.
1t is generally better to state the
price after giving a careful and
concise statement of the goods. II
the price is real inducement il
serves as a climax. .
Good headlines ard illustrations
to attract attention aud secure in
terest, good description to interest
and convince, accompanied by the
price of the article make al ad
that is hard to beat.

WASHINGTON
NEWS NOTES
by WALLACE BASSFORD.
Especial News Correspondent

Washington, ID c., August 81
Ihe Senate, by its action on sugar,
has definitely raised the cost of all
sugar to American consumers by
about two cents per, pound. Here
are the basic facts about sugar; the
united States refineries receive and
refine for domestic consumptio
about 4,500,000 million tons of raw
sugar in year. About 100000
lions of this are produced in the
United States proper; about l ,000,-
1000 other tons come to us from our
ssland holdings-Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the PHILIPPINES. tFhe
other 2,500,000 come from Cuba
1t is alleged that Senator Smoot,
representing both the beet sugar
people and the Republican major
aty in the Senate, proposed to the
Cuban sugar growers that the i'm
port tariff on their raw sugar would
zoe held down to 2 cents if they
would agree to limit sugar ship
meut to the United States to 2,000-
900 of tons per annun.
The effect would be to give this
country just barely enough for it's
needs, thus enabling the sugar re-
diners to geta better .price,for their
product and to more closely control
the price. In other words, sugar
would never be plentiful, and in
the course of few years, or-et any
'time there should happen to be a
short crop here at home, our sup
ply would not be sufficient for our
needs, owing to the steadily in-
'creasing population.
The 2 cent tariff means that the
consuming public will pay $780,
100000 per year into the Treasury
as tax on the sugar coming in from
Cuba; that is not so bad, in a way,
'as it helps pay the enormous bills
'of the Government, but this tax
puts up wall of protection for the
benefit of the sugar growers here
at home, in Hawaii, ,PortoRico and
'the PHILIPPINES, enabling them to
charge two cents more per,pound
for their raw sugar. And so this
takes $80,000,000 additional from
the pockets of the sugar users and
places it in the pockets of the sug.
sar growers.
This is typical Of the'Republican
position on the tariff; it is to assess
the general public to enrich-special
favored interests, which in turn can
'be counted upon to pay portion
of their artificial gains into the
Republican campaign chest in or
der to enable this party of the few
TO continue to exploit the many.
1T is the same old practice of the
.despotic kings who-sold privileges
TO friends at court.
All Republican tariff bills re-
volve around the manufacturing
groups of the big industrial cen.
ters. The Democratic view of the
tariff is that it should produce rev.
,enue to run the Government ece-
nomically administered. while lay
ing the lightest~possible burden on
the consumer.
OF course, any tariff is bound to
carry with it some incidental pro-
,tection 10 the American manufac.
.turer. And keep this one fact in
mind: The tariff is. tax, and be
it large or small, it is paddy the
American consumer.

introduced himself to Dick Steirly,
the piano player, and sang three songs
which made such hit that Johnny
Ireland sent at once for his friend
Robert Butler, manager of the Amer

After hearing Mr. Vivian sing Mr.
Butler gave him three weeks en-
