Hanover, y. H., Sept. 21.-The oppor-
tunitics OF the colleges should be in
creasingly reserved to the "aristocracy
of brain"-men intellectually eager
and alert-if democracy is to be a
quality product rather than simply a
quantity one. and if excellence and eff

rity toward which democracy has such
tendency to skid" said President
Ernest NJ. Hopkins of Dartmouth Col
lege in addressing the student body
today.
President Hopkins, who spoke to
more than 1900 students at the open
ing assembly of Dartmouth's 154th
academic year. urged the undergradu-
ates to commit themselves to the ut
ter elimination of the spirit of prop1-

There could be no more genuine

President Has
Broad Powers in
Tariff Now in Effect

Washington, Sept. 21.-American
tariff making will enter new phase
tomorrow with the coming into force
of the tariff act of 1922. For the
first time in history, Congress has
delegated part of it's authority over
taxes at the customs houses, con-
ferring upon the President broad
powers to increase or decrease rates
and to change from foreign to
American valuation as the basis for
assessing ad valorem duties on i'm
ports.
Referring to the sections carrying
this grant of authority, President
Harding, in attaching his signature
to the new act today, declared that
IF we succeed as l hope we will
succeed, in making effective the
elastic provisions of this bill. this
will prove the greatest contribution
toward progress in tariff making in
a century,"
The tariff commission, created
during the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson, will be the agency
through which the President will ex-
ercise his new authority and present
expectations are that it's work will
rank almost in importance with that
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The commission will make ex-
tensive Investigations into costs of
production at home and abroad and
will report it's findings with recon-
mendations for rate or valuation
changes to the President.
Applications from manufacturers,
importers, or other interested per-
sons for changes in rates of valua-
ton basis may be made to either the
President of commission, hut such
as were addressed to the executive
would be referred to the commission.
The first step would be a determine
alton of whether the facts presented
justified action. If the decision was
that they did, investigation, and per-
haps hearings, would follow.
Chairman Marvin said today the
commission had not yet had not had
time to work out details of methods
of procedure. When this task has
been completed. rules and regulations
will be made public.

Revere, Mass, Sept. 21-Medical
Examiner George 3. Magrath noti-
fed the Revere police today that an
inquest into the death of Mrs. Maud
Pease, whose body was found in the
ocean off Winthrop on Tuesday with
cut in the throat. would be held in
East Boston district on Saturday.
The police, who are holding Arthur
H. Pease, the woman'S husband, on a
charge of murder pending a thor
ough investigation, said the lack Of
evidence of a crime seemed to indi-
cate that the woman had committed
suicide. They intimated that should
no more developments have occurred
when Pease is arraigned next We'd
nesday, he would probably be re-
leased.
Friends Of Mrs. Pease expressing
the opinion that she was suicide.
called attention to the breach of

by a Beachmont woman who alleges
that he is the father Of her child, born
shortly after Pease was married last

The convention endorsed the primary

the enforcement of social morality.
Governor Baxter in a telegram
expressed the belief that the next
legislature should amend the laws
so that jail sentences should be i'm
posed on all violators of the prohi-
bition law. His telegram addressed
to Mrs. Althea G. Quimby, president,
follows:
please extend my greetings to the
ance Union and assure them that
while Governor, I shall continue to
impress upon the citizens of the
State the need of more general OBJ
scrvance of, and respect for law,
especially the prohibition law.
II believe the next legislature
should amend some of our laws so
that those who evade them may not
escape by tcchnicalities and that jail
sentences should be imposed on all
violators of the prohibition law, for
only in this way can they be made
to realize the seriousness of their
offenses."

The annual report of the State w.

follows:-
County superintendent have been
slow in reporting, mainly, I believe,
because local unions have failed. in

wanting that the Maine w. c. T. I.
has been at work in line with this
department.
Yet, that the work may be system
attic and most effective, it is neces-
sary that every union should have
an energetic Superintendent of Cltl-
Zenship. Modesty holds back many
a report of work well done, and that
of an individual seems to shrink in
