Washington Comment

Ideas are epidemic, as well as in
which throws stones or sets the house
on fire, and behold, all over the coun-
try comes reports of "ghosts." Some
one who has reason for not wanting
the childen of today well educated
sees mythical objection to the Tow
ner-Stcrling bill, now before congress
which provides for a Department of
Education and chief who is a mem
ber of the cabinet, and all over the
country little men of little minds echo
the cry of "paternalism."
The Towner-S Sterling bill requires
these three things in state before il
can receive the "paternal' federal aid
to education provided in the bill:
1. A public school opportunity OF
not less than "a weeks.
2. Compulsory attendance at some
school, public or private, for at least
"a weeks in the year, of all children
between z and IA.
3. English as the basic language OF
instruction in all schools, public and
private, in the common branches.
The man who comes out in the open
and says those provisions are wrong
or un-American, or vicious may have
courage, If not sense.
As matter of sober fact, there are
no real objections to the bill, even by
those who don't want it! The onl,
persons who don't want it are the peo
pie who have always fought education
who see in education of the masses the
end Of spiritual and thus civil tyran
ny. But the people Of the United
States as whole want education, be.

For shame. Indiana

John Mollick, sixteen years old, or
phan boy in short trousers. has en-
tered the Indiana state prison at Mich
iean City for life!
The judge who sent him there is
Judge Loring, Valparaiso circuit
court.
1t makes no difference what his
crime may have been. 1t happens to
have been shooting to death his foster
mother. But can crime, no mat ter how
horrible, which is committed by n
legal, moral and mental infant be JUS
tifiably punished by the lifelong expi-
alton of the man into which that in
FAINT will grow?
This is no argument that John Mol
lick shouldn't be jailed, or that the
doubtless moderate and humane laws
of the sovereign and great state Of
Indiana should not be carried out But
it is an argument against what seems
to be a travcsty Of socallcd "justicc." "
If laws are we'll to serve the body Don
tic they must not only be Just laws.
but must be administered so that JUS
tice results. John Mollick may be
criminally insane-if so, he could
either be cured or not cured, but doc
tors, not jurists, must say. John Mol
lick may be morally responsible for
his act, but he is only child. Let
the reader Of these lines who sees the
justice which Christ taught, in making
man pay all his life for the crime of
boy, ask himself whether he thinks
he should be whipped today for the
apples he stole when a child?
Doubtless some wise and tolerant
governor of Indiana will see to it that
John Mollick gets chance to be
something else than n victim Of a
court procedure evidently more inter
ested in the letter than the spirit of
the law. Meanwhile, Indiana, and
many another state, can look serious.

Training Russians to
Eat Our Corn

London, March 26.-Training the
Russian in the proper methods of
consuming American corn, has now
been undertaken by the American
Relief Administration.
The distribution of corn to approx
imately 100000 adults in the Vol
ga valley has begun, the first 18
trainloads of the American gift hav.
ing reached the famine areas accord
ing to advices of February "a. One
Russian funt per day, or roughly IA
ounces, is the feeding allowance for
adults.
SO that they may get to know the
possibilities of this new food not only
from nourishing but a palatable
point of view, cards containing re.
ceipts are being sent to all American
Relief Administration inspectors, viii
lage relief committees and distribu-
ton centers.
The receipts include such typical
American dishes as corn mush, corn
bread, corn biscuits, corn soup and
corn Cruel. A warning against eat
ing the corn in the raw state and di-
rections for its treatment in case of
spoilage are also being issued.
This is the first time the Ameri-
can Relief Administration has dis
tributed food directly to the individ-
ual for consumption in his own home.
Child-feeding is always conducted
en- masse, about 100000 Russian
children now being fed one balanced
meal day in some 5000 Kitchens.

National Convention
Called For Nav

Mexico City, March 27.-Reforms
in the Mexican constitution designed
to eliminate all obstacles to recog-
milton Of the Mexican government by
foreign powers are proposed in the
platform Of the Great Liberal Party
which has just been revived after
years of inactivity.
One Of the paragraphs of the con-
stitution which the party would re-
form is Article 81 which provides for
the naturalization of petroleum de
posits and which the Mexican Su-
preme Court pronounced non-retro-
active in decision rendered in Sep
tember last. Other reforms proposed
in the constitution refer to labor, re-
hglous freedom and education. Z.
"These fundamental changes will
remove automatically all possible OBJ
stacles to an immediate recognition
OF the Mexican government by all
foreign powers and will eliminate all
pretexts for further revolution" as
serted Antonia G. Canalizo, for many
years financial agent of the Mexican
government in the United States and
Europe who has taken active part in
reviving the old party once inhuen-
tial in Mexico. "With these modifica-
tion the Mexican constitution will be
superior in every respect to the con-
stitution of 1887" Senior Canalizo
added.
A national convention of the party
has been called for next May.
Associated with Senator Fernando
Iglesias Calderon, head of the party,
are former President Eulalio Gutter
req and Alfonso Madero, brother of
the late President Madero, besides
Senor Canalizo. Senator Calderon,
the party leader, was formerlyy Mex
lean financial agent in Washington
and London and for many years
prominent in politics.

win the ruling place but appear be-
fore the voters and be introduced.
The beauty supplement this yea,

only have their pictures in this beau

put in the Palmafesta program to be
preserved in permanent form.
All of the young ladies will be per-

of automobiles and trades displays
where the many industries and prod

to the public.
The $500 prize for the best county

Hambone says, "Last year you
couldn't buy nuthin' for dollah, and
this year you CANT get dollah to
buy nuthin' WITH" but here is way
to get $500 in gold. This county can
easily design a good float to show the
natural resources, the industries or
some historical event and have as good
chance to win the prize as anyone.
Just write to Mr.. James G. Holmes,
1915 Lady Street, Columbia, and tell
him you want to enter float. The
parade will be on Thursday, April 20,
and will be mammouth affair.

Caruso Memorial
Meets With Response

Atlanta, Ga, March 22.-Music low
ers of the Southeast have-shown an
intensely practical enthusiasm in the
Caruso American Memorial Founda-
ton, organized " build an enduring
tribute to the greatest of all tenors
through well defined plan of upbuild-
ing America music.
1t Is a notable fact that this en-
. thusiasm has been general throughout
the section. 1t has not been confined
to the great centers of population, or
particular seats of musical culture,
but on the other hand, the warmest
interest has been shown in Southern
villages and substantial contributions
have come from Southern farms where
the tenor was known only through
the beauty Of his reproduced voice.
1t is considered particularly appro-
pirate that this should be so, for the
great purpose of the Foundation is
the development of musical talent in
the obscure places. This was the work
cloaest to Caruso's heart. In his an
nual visits to the South, no struggling
young artist ever applied to him for
advice, encouragement, or even finan-
cial aid that it was not freely and gen.
erously given. Caruso felt debt Of
gratitude to his adopted country and
no section benefited from this feel
ing as did the South.
1t is the purpose Of the Carusc
Foundation to raise through the en-.
tire United States an endowment fund
of $1,OO0,OOO. The interest on this
money will be applied to giving strug-
Cling artists the opportunity to devel.
op their art.
The board of trustees and the com.
mittee on awards announces that nc
caste or creed will be known in this
matter, that aid will be given only
where aid is needed and where there
is strong probability of development
of extraordinary talent either as vo
ralist, instrumental performer or COM
poser.
Col. William Lawson Peel, president
of the Atlanta Music Festival Associa
tion and the moving force in the
South's annual season of Metropolitan
Opera, is vice president of the Carust
Foundation for the Southeast and al
contributions should be forwarded tt
him.
