CAPITAL CITY SEEKS
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
Denial of Auto Operators Permits
to Unfit Numer-
Gus.
Capital News Service)

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The police
authorities in the Capital City are
using to the full the powers given
them to approve or deny operators
license cards to applicants. During
the month just passed twenty pei
cent. of those who applied were re-
fused permission to drive car. Five
hundred and sixty people who thought
they could operate an automobile were
undeceived by the police, who de-
manded a practical demonstration OF
driving ability as we'll as knowledge
of police regulations.
With automobile accidents increas-
ing daily because of congested traffic
conditions and large numbers of cars,
both business and pleasure, police de-
partments in other cities are watching
with much interest the drastic rules
enforced IN the nations capital. Un-
til recently in most municipalities the
examination" consisted Of an oral
statement Of few elementary rules
of the road and an ability to say which
end of the automobile was the front.
In Washington the applicant for a
license card is now required to drive
his car in downtown traffic, with an
experienced police driver by his side,
and thus to demonstrate his or her
ability to handle ton or more OF
moving steel with safety to himself
and pedestrians. Many who apply
have had but few "lessons" in auto
mobile driving, and while they know
perfectly we'll how to start, stop, and
steer aca +, are unable to utilize that
knowledge quickly and effectively
when confronted with crowded street
apd heavy jam of other vehicles.
As the number OF deaths from col
lisions with automobiles and pedes-
trians is decreasing in Washington,
while the number of automobiles m
creases, it is evident that the enforce
ment of the spirit as well as the let
ter of the examination provisions OF
the police regulations is having a
good effect.

KILL 1928 BOIL
WEEVILS NOW.
RY DESTROYING COTTON STALKS
EARLY, WEEVILS STARNE
IN WINTER.
(By C. 4. WHITLEY

One Of the most effective steps IN
boil weevil control is the early destruc-
tion of cotton stalks. Just as soon
as the cotton can be harvested, go IN
to the cotton field and either turn un-
der the cotton stalks or rip them up
with plow. The object is to de-
stroy the cotton plants.
Weevils can not feed on dead cot
ton stalks. When their food Is de-
stroyed they migrate to where they
can feed or else go into winter quar-
tiers. Whether they are thus driven
away from your farm OF driven into
winter quarters the probabilities OF
their damaging you again next season
are greatly reduced.
Over most of the cotton belt 1t is
possible to gather the cotton early
enough to permit of the destruction
of the cotton stalks three to four
weeks before a killing frost will de-
stroy them. Three to four weeks
earlier in going into winter quarters
means that death Of weevils from
starvation and cold will be greatly
increased.
1t is the last weevils that go into
winter quarters that cause damage
in the cotton crop the next year. II
all of these were starved out by de-
stroying cotton stalks early there
would, of course, be an end of the
weevil. While one can not expect that
cotton will ever be destroyed early
and completely enough to accomplish
a complete eradication of the weevll,
1t is true that to the extent that this
is done the number of weevllS and
their damage will be reduced.
Chopping down stalks leaves stubs
that sprout new growth on which the
weevil can feed, therefore, the only
safe way is to uproot the stalks OF
else, with the aid of drag chain, to
turn them completely under the fur
row slice.
knowing that many cotton farmers
do not plow deep enough to cover
up cotton stalks, the safest general
advise is to uproot the stalks with
a plow and to watch that no new
growth starts UP.
AS long as there is green cotton
growth left in the field, the weevil
will be found.
It will crawl into lock of cotton
or half opened bur to keep warm and
come out when the sun shines to feed
on the green stuff.
Don't burn the cotton stalks. Let
them lay on the ground. When the
ground is plowed they can be turned
under where they will decay and add
the organic matter which the soils
so much need.
Why not organize a community
wide, or countrywide movement for
the early destruction of cotton stalks.
It means less trouble from the wee
wis next year.

"BOARD OF CENSORS"
IDEA LOSING GROUND
Literature and Stage Successfully
Resist Infringement of Free
dom of Speech.
Capital News Service)

Washington, Sept. 2S.-A New York
magistrate dismissed a case worked
up against a New York publisher by
society devoted to trying to make
other peoples morals conform to the
society's standard. The society's
agents hailed the publisher into court,
along with several of his books, on a
charge of publishing obscene litera-
ture. The magistrate read the books
threw the case out of court, commend
ed the books as contributions to liter
ature and knowledge, and scored the
agents for the self-constituted moral
censorship, and ended by insisting on
the reality of the principle of the
right of free speech, when such free
speech is within the laws of the land.
The New York stage has just for
mulated plan by which the evils Of
police censorship over plays is elimi-
mated, while permitting judgment as
to what is and what is not objection
able to the public, by the public.
According to this plan any person
objecting to any part of any play on
moral grounds may state his or her
case to John NJ. Gilchrist, commits
sioner of licenses, and cause the ap-
pointment of a jury of twelve nom
theatrical men and women to pass
upon the show.
The jury panel will include 300
names of persons not interested in
the theatre or in reform"
In event of a complaint, jury of
twelve is to be dispatched to see the
production. A vote Of nine to three
is required to carry" verdict. But
even an adverse verdict will not be
final, for the producers and author
of the offending play will then be in
vited to reform the production where
in it is found to be offensive

Why is education in the United
States fighting so hard for existence!
Why is it that children have too little
opportunity? Why is it that so many
| lilliterates are permitted to grow up
to take their ineffective places in So
ciety to the detriment of us all? Why
lis it that this, the richest and most
prosperous of nations can do so lit
tie to aid itself educationally?
There can be only one answer; be-
cause the Nation, as Nation, has no
education plan, policy, or organization
devoted to education; because, as a
people, we regard educational facil-
| tiles and programs as. local issues;
because we have no Department OF
Education, as we have Department
of Agriculture or War or Interior.

question it will be beyond the power
of the court and will stand as tie
final and unassailab!e law Of the
land"
An army of organizations and edl-
torial writer's rehemently protest
against any such drastic revision OF
the fundamentals OF the government
of the United States as would put in
the hands of Congress alone, without
any concurrence by the forty-eight
States, the power to change Constltu-
tion.
With all due repsect to the Con-
gress, it is nevertheless true that 1t
does make mistakes, and that probably
in the future, as at times in the past,
it will be swayed by passion, preJu-
dice, self-interest, and partisan poll
tics. Congress is made up of human
beings, and can not, of course, as a
body, be more perfect or more wise
than the average of its membership.
The United States has grown in one
hundred and forty-six years from a
baby nation to the mightest on earth.
Our people are more free, have more
prosperity, less war, greater oppor-
tunities, more justice, less govern
mental ills than any other people.
This growth and these results have
come under the benifcent and wise
laws which spring from ConStitu-
ton unalterable save by long, diff
cult, and thought-taking program OF
state acquiescence. To substitute for
this proved successful plan a new
scheme by which we will have no
fundamental law not changeable at
will by Congress is proposal which
will not only never be accepted by
the American people, but which Will

who propose it.
