ON APRIL 27. the one hundredth anniversary of
" the birth of Ulysses S. Grant, Civil WEI hero, and
eighteenth president of the United States VIII occur.
On that day a magnificent equestrian statue Of Gen.
eral Grant surrounded by artillery groupings said
to be the finest examples of their kind the world has
ever produced, will be dedicated.
At the last annual encsmpment of the Grand Army
Of The Republic the subjoined resolutions were
adopted:
'That the national government Be requested to
take appropriate action for the Observance Of the an
niversary. and the Congress of the United States
take such measures as may be necessary to assure
tho dedication of the Grant memorial at Washing
ton on the 9th Of April next This action on the
part of Congress we deem Of first Importance
"That the state legislatures, governors of the
several states and municipal officers be urged to
tNlze suitable action to bring to the attention of the
people the great lesson taught by Grants steadsas.
adherence to his courtrys cause in the time OF sever
est trial, and that all institutions of learning through
out the land be invited TO celebrate the notable event
so that the deep embodiment of General Grants life.
service and character in the thought and conscience
of his contemporaries may be fastened with trans
forming power upon the minds of the youth of the
present generation. That patriotic exer-
eiscs be held on that day in The srhools and churches
Of the land, that the memorable occasion may not
upon the hearts of the young, and strengthen the faith
of those that believe in the God Of our fathers and
in the priceless boon of civil and religious liberty"
Agreeable to the resolution the dedication cere-
monies viii be under the auspices of the United States
government. Secretary Weeks will present the mem
orial on the part of the government and Vice Presi-
dent Coolidge win accept it on behalf of the people.
Many other dignitaries will take part in the cere-
monies.

Why Men Go Wrong

"a GOOD DEAL Of time is being SPENT suggests
n the New York Herald, 'by such eminent bodies
rs the Law Enforcement Committee of the American
Bar Association, by newspapers and h. social workers
come habitual criminals.
''Six prisoners in Joliet penitentiary have been
asked what led them astrzy. One Of them said cx-
pense Of entertaining ."flappers-"
Another put the blame on failure to keep first
offenders away from hardened criminals in county
jails.
Prohibition enforcement officers who do not make
it impossible for him to get whisky were blamed by
one man.
"a college graduate. who after the WET had "a
queer kirk" in his mind, thought he could beat the
game" This convict volunteered the observation
.they teach you things in war they won't let you
practice later
'"These excuses are familiar. The flappcr Of to
day is Mother Eve of Father Adams day. Selection
OF n place in which to incarcerate a first offender pre-
sents a difficult problem. Putting him among the
~virtuous may corrupt them; to determine just how
hardened his associates may be without harm being
done to anybody would stump Solomon. A man who
blames lax enforcement Of prohibition laws for his
plight wouldn't fare well under a system that allowed
drink. Neither a college graduate nor q non-coIlege
graduate can beat the game An honest soldier
learns nothing in the army that handicaps him in civil
life.
"The fact is these c~onvicts, like most other per
sons, avoid the central factors IN the production Of
professional criminals. Those factors are greed and
aziness- Men turn criminals because they want to
live as they mistakenly fancy miIlionaires live without
doing the hard work miIlionaircs do to gather and
keep their fortunes. They are greedy for what tsry
conceive to be the good things Of life, but they are
too lazy to work hard enough to earn those good
things. They convince themselves there is a short
cut to ease and comfort; that they can strike across
lots and grab the pile some industrious man has ac-
cumulated by hard labor and live happily on it ever

Come On In

tsNANADA TO COMPETE with u. s. in Foreign
" Markets" says a headline Come on in, the
waters fine! We have no fear of Canada in Foreign
markets. Glad that she has no fear of us. The more
business she can secure in those markets, the less she
will complain because our protective tariff restricts
her sales in our domestic market, particularly Of
wheat.
In 1900 Canada exported s177.ooo, 900 worth Of
goods. In 1920 they totaled s1,2s6.o00,o 600 in value.
This is a s%even-fold increase in 20 years. From 1910
t, 1918, inclusive. under the Payne-Aldrichp protective
tariff law, our imports from Canada averaged $780,
600, 900 annually. From 1919 to 1922. inclusive, our
imports from Canada show an annual average of
1854, 900, 900. That was under the Democratic tariff
law. We took $336.000,o 900 worth of goods from
Canada last year, although largely on account of the
Emergency Tariff this was $500, ooo,o 900 less than
Canada's sales to the United States in the previous
year. says Canadian trade commissioner Frederic
Hudd. So evidently the Emergency Tariff law served
a purpose, despite the assertions of Senator Pat Har-
rison and other Democrats that it was a gold brick
to the farmers. And wheat has gone up in price,
while bread that sold for 10 cents a loaf, and even
~, before the Emergency law took effect, is now
selling for 6 cents. and in some eases for 5 eents
Americans regard Canadians as first cousins and
like to see them succeed But when it comes to un-
re stricted competition in the home parket-wen, a
man has to look after his own family first.

to make his fortune. He made that fortune and he

If nominated and elected, and we hzve no doubt

Results in Enforcement

COMMISSIONER HAYNES says @if VIC were to col
lect the fines, penalties and special taxes imposed
and one-half times the estimated cost Of enforcing
the prohibition Law Cor the next year. These enor-
nous figures do not include nearly $1,000, 900 in
bonds that are being forfeited to the government,
$4,000 900 in differential or mchibftive taxes. or
So, 1000, 600 that have been offered in compromise by
81 of the large ~violators of the law" 'Inasmuch as
the appropriation for the enforcement Of the prohi-
bition amendment for the next year is $40, 600, 900,
Mr.. Haynes statement indicates that the fines and
penalties already imposed upon ~violators of the pro
hibition act reached the sum of $25, 600 900.

amendment went into effect there were. $780,

invisible Balances

TT is from New York that 5000 people
have thus farbooked passage for Europe to see
the Passion Play at -berammergau. A man who can
afford to take a trip of that sort can afford to spend
at least 81, 900 while in Europe. and he probably win.
So here is SIS. 100000 of so-called invisible balance
against us at one clip And it isn't a drop in the
bucket. Thousands Of American tourists are going
abroad. and millions of American dollars are being
spent in Europe, OF late it would seem as IL most
of the Europeans who visit here come to panhandle
for funds for their suffering countrymen, and those
funds also might be added to the invisible balance.
Americans are helping Europe all right. and it is
not necessary to throw free trade into the aims box.

EXTEND WELCOME TO DOGS
Animals Admitted Anywhere on the
Continent of Europe, If Proper
Payment Is Made.

In Venice dog can go anywhere
with his master, even to the hotel
table, where If he is paid for at the
same rate as his master, he may take
his food. If he accompanies the boss
on one of the noisy steamers that de-
stroy the poetry of the Grand canal he
must be paid for exactly as if he were
a human being.
All over the continent of Europe the
rights Of people with dogs are recog-
nized-at a price. One can take dog
into any compartment of train, in
Guiding the wagon-lit, but first it Is
necessary to buy third-class ticket
for him. In Italy he travels a little
more cheaply. There, when one is get
ting his baggage weighed (and paying
for the billet) one buys another for
the dog, which costs one-half of third
class rate. Provided with this ticket
the dog is admitted to wherever his
master goes.

MAY SHED LIGHT ON HISTORY
Signs In Northwestern Idaho, Ap-
parentIy Centuries Old, Are to
Be Subjects of Investigation.

Symbols and signs, believed to
have been chiseled anywhere from
400 to 10000 years ago. have been
discovered on lava rocks in a remote
section Of Owyhee county, southwest
ern Idaho. The Inscriptions bear
striking resemblance to Chinese al
phabet characters. The inscribed
rocks are In the vicinity of several
caves which scientists have arranged
to explore. Two distinct types of
carvings, Geographic and photographs
ic, have been noted Archeologists be
ieve the Geographic antedates by
many years the Photographic. Both ey-
amples have been found on single
rock. Nearby is another rock with
possible third system supposed to an
tedate both the others, but which has
weathered beyond possibility of de
ciphering. Indians say the more
modern carvings are the work of
their forefathers, but assert the
others are the work of evil spirits
Resemblance of the inscriptions to
Chinese characters is taken by some
to substantiate the theory that the
early American Indians descended
from ship-wrecked Chinese or came
from a race which migrated from
Asia by way of Bering strait.

Fish's "Smoke Screen"

The aristeus, deep-sea prawn, has
a method of lighting that gives the
appearance Of a multitude of smoke
rings. When excited by the nearness
of an enemy the prawn elects respir-
atory water in tiny squirts and into
this stream the luciferin is forced
from countless glands opening into
the sCream by fine ducts. AS the
chemicals combine, puffy clouds of
luminescent particles float in the sea.
This is the smoke screen" provided
by nature. The species of luminous
fish, called "photoblephron," has a
DINNER system in an inside chamber
and burns continuously. When the
fish wishes to shut off the light, he
causes a black augmented curtain to
slide down over the light cell open
ing like an eyelid. The light organ
preserves It's luminescence even when
removed and is used by fishermen of
the islands Of Banda, about 800 miles
southeast Of the Philippines. as bait
for night fishing.

Various Burial Customs.

The practice of carrying corpse
out feet first may be derived from the
idea that If he were living, he would
leave the house feet first. A coffin of
a layman If taken into a church is
placed in the middle of the nave, the
feet to the East or sanctuary, but If
the body be that of cleric. the head
is put to the sanctuary.
It is the practice in Great Britain to
place the bodies of soldiers in their
collins with their feet going in the di-
rectfon that the caisson is to travel.
In countries where shoes are worn,
the deceased is shod, for he has a long
journey to take. This, therefore,
points to a reason for carrying out the
dead feet frst-they are travelling on
their last journey. Digest.
