BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION

"BACK to the Constitution" is the motto OF the
Marshall-Wythe School OF Government and Citi-
zenshp, just opened at the College of William and
Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia 1t marks the first
movement, by institution engaged in producing
large numbers of teachers for the public schools to
combat radical propaganda and tendencies by equip
ping its graduates to carry into their classrooms a
thorough knowledge of governmental fundamentals
and particularly of those ideas and ideals which dis
tinguish our mechanism OF government
This school will teach how the government func-
tions and why it functions as it does. 1t will ma
turaly be compared with the Williams College In
stitute of Politics which promises valuable contr-
button to the study of comparative politics. The
two lines OF study easily run together.
Our constitution, it should be remembered, is
essentially an English document despite the fact
that its checks Greek in origin and its balances
Roman. 1t devised by people who, ii we
forget the negro slaves were o5 per cent OF Brit
ish stock. To-day less than half our population is OF
British origin, The majority of citizens come
of races whose political traditions and instincts are
very different 1t is therefore logical suppose that
the constitution, ii is to continue 10 function
adequately must from time to time be modified
somewhat to suit other racial ideas and ideals. The
study OF Comparative Politics would tend TO simp.
fy and guide the process OF alteration.

IDLE MONEY
MUCH

MUCH surprise has been expressed that senator
Penrose, after his DEATH was found to have KEEP,
nearly S250OO0 in cash in safe deposit vault.
II was curious indeed for man OF Penrose's
welknown intelligence and financial insight, to have
kept that money unproductive. He would never have
sanctioned any such policy for public funds. By
merely shifting the cash from the vault 10 the de-
posi- window OF that same bank, he might have
drawn an income OF nearly $1,000 year from it
BY investing it in sound bonds or stocks he could
have realized easily $4,000 year on it, without risk
But very likely Penrosc didn't care. He had plenty
OF money--he was worth several millions And here
is the most interesting fact connected with the mat
ter 1t is probably true that the same average Ameri-
can citizen who wonders at the late senator's folly
ia himself keeping idle and unproduc;ive as large Z
proportion OF his own wealth as Penrose was. The
money the senator lett in that barren vault is
matched by the money the supposedly thrifty house
wife keeps in bureau drawer or the money her
supposedly thrifty husband carries around in his
pocket.
Money is meant to use, as machinery is. Why
not put it into the bank, and let oneself and the
community get some use OF iti

HOLD SECRECY

MURDER PROBE
Newly Appointed Special Pro-
secutOr Has Little to
Say Today
(By the Associated Press)

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 90
County officials today resumed
their investigation into the Mills
Hall murder after day spent in
going over the case with Wilbur A.
Mott, the newly appointed special
prosecutor but, as far as could be
learned, no new facts were brought
to light.
It was learned that at yesterdays
conference Mr.. Mott declared ne
would not go to the grand jury to
ask indictments yet.
Beyond giving out a short pre-
pared statement which threw no
light on the mystery, he refused to
talk to reporters. His attitude was
reflected today when the prosecu-
tors office in the court house here
was locked against all visitors.
1t was stated here that the de-
tective forces of the two counties
would continue in the case, giving
all assistance possible to Mr.. Mott.
It was learned that the detectives
and prosecutors had not decided on
what action to take following pub
lie disclosure that Mrs. Jane Glib
son, the woman known here as "the
pig woman" had been am eye wit
ness to the murder of the minister
and his choir singer.

EXTENSION IOF
FRONT STREET
SEWER VOTED I
Find Sewer Into Which II Was
To Empty Two Feet High.
or Than New Sewer
TO GO ON TO RIVER
Bids Will Be Received for Con.
struction of Extension
OF 1000 Feet

The city commission, in q special
meeting held this morning! decided
to advertise for bids for the extern
sion of the Front street sewer now
under construction about 1000 feet
to the Missouri river. Bids will be
received in about three weeks.
The plan was to empty the Front
street sewer into thte main sewer
in the bottoms lands beyond rail
road track, southeast of the ball
park. It was discovered that the
main sewer into which the Front
street sewer was to empty was two
feet higher than the main sewer
and it was, therefore, impossible to
enter it unless, according to City
Engineer Atkinson, manhole was
taken up and part Of the main
street sewer raised. y
The Front street sewer is q &C.
inch sewer, designed to relieve a
portion of the city south Of the
railroad track. It runs west
through the ball park and southwest
toward the river. The main street
sewer is an 1S-inch sewer and runs
through the west part. Of the city.
The Front street sewer is being
constructed by Frank Grambs, who
was awarded the contract. The
commission was advised that it
would be necessary to advertise for
bids for the extension.
Commissioner Thompson told
members of the city commission that
Capt. l. P. Baker stated he was will
ing to deed a right of-way to the
city so that the sewer extension to
the river could be made, as he had
done for the Front street sewer, with
the condition that there should be
tunnel under the revetment at the
river so as not to interfere with it.
Mr.. Thompson said that it was
found that the main sewer was about
two feet higher than was shown OIL
the plat, ION the Front street sewer
plans were based, and that the ex-
tension of the Front street sewer to
the river was necessary.
Mr.. Atkinson estimated the cost Of
the extension Of the sewer to the
river at $4,000. He said that it was
the plan to enter the Front street
sewer into the 18-inch Main
temporarily, but that deposits Of
silt combined with the fact that the
main sewer elevation was higher
than the other sewer made desirable
the extension. Otherwise, he said
sections Of the main sewer could oe
raised.
The commission at its meeting this
morning also received petitions for
building Of sewer on Broadway,
between 18th and 16tRstreets and or
Sixteenth between Broadway and
Avenue B..

FRANCS USED '.
BY ENGLAND
TO PAY DEBTS
French Charge System Is Re-
spOnsible for Weakness
Of Their Money
(By the Associated Press)

Paris, Oct. 25.-The buying of
dollars by British banks with
French francs in their possession is
said by French financiers to be the
principal cause of the present weak
ness Of the franc. The dollars
were used by the British to pay the
interest on their war debt to the
United States.
Bankers and the financial au-
thorities Of the government appear
undisturbed by the rise of the dol
lar and the pound.
1T is rarely possible for one to
put ones fingers on the actual fin
ancing exchange" said high Of
ficial Of the Bank of France to the
Associated Press today. Then at
tempting to express himself by u.s.
ing an American colloquialism he
said:
"But this time we can locate the
"black man in the woodpile."
"The British banks and the
British treasury, which haves long
been accumulating French francs
have used them, as was their right
to do, to buy the dollars they need
ed instead of using pounds" he
continued.
"The consequence was that the
payment of the big sum Of interest
to the United States has had no
bad effect on the pound. On the
CONTRARY, British exchange profit
ed by the subsequent depreciation
of the franc"
