Methodist Conference Told

BALTIMORE. April LII ever

While not condemning all dancing
and all theaters, he said dancing. az
a whole, was never so bad az at
present, nor the theater 80 degrad-

those in the Methodist church who
would take out OF the discipline OF
the church any reference to dane

Notwithstanding the bishop ex.

Scores "America First" Slogan.

Bishop Mitchell characterized the
slogan America first" as one of
the most UNI Christian cries the
world has ever heard. George

the country was then in its In

The baby doesn't pass the bottle

sYsTEM-HoRsE SENSE
From the Huntsville Times.

From the Huntsville Times.
 The pendulum swings and, biffetly bang, out goes the side of the clock.
 Back in the old days when the word "sys- tenn" was mentioned, it simply conveyed to the mind of the internal organsn---the liver, lights, kidneys, ets., etc.
 When you hear the word today, you think of an intricate mass and mess of rules and wires and machines and devious and indicate ways which slow up business and set back the clock or progress instead of moving it ahead or in- ducing it to keep correct time.
 Back wonder, business was operated by the rule of thumb which was just as foolish and un- businesslike as is the present over-systemized way of doing things.
 There is certain right way, common sense way of transacting business, but we can point you to hundreds of businesses that are so load ed down with system, that it has set the brakes on their entire works.
 Work out your own system as 1t applies and fits your own particular business. The best system known to man in any of lifes activities, is plain common sense

TRAIN OF NEW LOCOMOTIVES
 A CHEERING SIGHT

A train of 20 new Baldwin locomotives is on it's way to the Missouri Pacific railroad, the first consignment of 50 ordered from the Baldwin works. This train is half mile long and several locomotives are required to move it.
 Each locomotive, with tender, is nearly 100 feet in length and weighs 62l,00o pounds Each is manned by an experienced engineer, and so valuable is this freight that 1t will move only in the day time. The weight of the train, without the pulling and pushing power, is over 5000 tons.
 More inspiring than the sight of the train itself is the realization of what 1t means. Busi- ness has recovered and tho trunk lines are re- ceiving the additions to their equipment which have been long delayed, and gre badly needed
 Every new locomotive and every new re- paired car that leaves the shop at this period of growing activity in all lines of business Is assurance that commerce will be handled more promptly.

EXORBITANT TAX PLACED ON
 CULTURAL ENTERPRISE

Citizens of Atlanta are promptly making up the grand opera deficit in that city this sea- son, the first in 12 years, and are arranging for opera next year. That kind of citizenship builds communities
 The deficit was caused by bringing half dozen big stars to Atlanta instead of the us- ual two or three and by tax of $2, 300 levied by the last session of the legislature on each performance of grand opera. This tax alone amounted to $17,500, and is the principal item in the 25 per cent deficit.
 It is difficult to understand the spirit that animated the legislature of the great state of Georgia in levying a heavy tax on form of entertainment which has added to the prestige of their chief city, has brought money to Geor- gians and has served to educate the south along cultural lines. It is a reflection on the intelligence of the Georgia legislators.
 strong effort will be made to have this unjust tax repealed, and it should succeed. By this time the legislators who voted for the tax should be thoroughly ashamed of them selves. How earth is anything cultural to be done if, after the federal government has collected it's 10 per cent the state comes along and strikes still harder blow?
 Cannot some things be let alone?

AUTOMOBILE sPooNERs AND
 VIGILANCE COMMITTEES

Discussing love-making in automobiles along public highways, Solicitor Tate is quoted as saying, "I have advised communities complain ing to me to form vigilance committees and deal with the situation themselves This is warning to motorists who indulge in this prae- tice, for they may encounter rough treat ment at the hands of wrathful citizens" It is stated that the sheriffs force is too small to police the wide territory covered by auto mobile parties.
 It probably did not occur to Solicitor Tate that he was making an unwise suggestion, just at time when the citizens of Birmingham are aroused over the frequency of mob vio- lence. It is never good idea to advise private individuals, no matter what the provocation may be, to take the law into their own hands. {. We don't need any more vigilance commit tees in Birmingham nor Jefferson county. If automobiists were assaulted and beaten on selves by saying they were acting on the ad- vice of the county solicitor, it would place MT. Tate in rather embarrassing position
 People who take the law into their own hands invariably go to extremes. Some very respectable citizens motor along the high ways and byways of Birmingham, thousands of them, and they should not run the risk of annoyance because of the misbehavior of a few. Automobile immortality Is problem for the legal authorities to handle, and not private citizens who may be itching for an opportunity to organize another flogging party.

GOOD INVEsTMENT YEAR

T find" said Charles F. Yarn, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, ''that while the total of capital represented in es- tablishment of new enterprises and increased capitalization of going concerns during the first five months of the year is not equal to that of 1921, more new industries have been established this year.
 "The investment record of this year shows 109 new industries and Is increases of cap- ital stock, while that of last year for same period shows 75 new concerns and 26 increases of capital Last years higher showing in dol lars is owing to the increase of $4,O00,00O in capital stock of two building and loan associ- ations, the $7o0,00o increase of the water company and the $1,o0o,OOo increase of the Southeastern express.

WHEN TOBACCO WAS A MEDICINE

From the Detroit News
 Old-time apothecaries in England used to sell for medicinal purposes not only strong wines but also tobacco. John Archer, physi- clan to Charles II, kept apothecaries' shops in various parts of London, and sold tobacco at all of them. Archer advised his patients to smoke, holding that tobacco purifies the air from infectious maligancy by it's fragrance, sweetens the breath, strengthens the brain and memory, and revives the sight to admir- ation." He charged shillings an ounce for his tobacco, which was supposed to possess special virtue, "to be perceived after taking one pipe"
 Oddly enough, in 1877, when ready-madc Virginia cigarettes were first placed on the London market, the apothecaries reverted to their old practice of selling tobacco. The or dnary tobacconists would not stock these ci- garettes, thinking there would be no sale for them, so the London agent of the American firm which exported them offered to pay the cost of tobacconist's~ license for every chemist who undertook to stock his wares. They caught on so well with smokes that the tobacconists were soon compelled to stock them, and eventually the chemists found 1t not worth their while to do so.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
INCREASING TAX BURDEN
e Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Some people are deploring the fact that the late bond issue was defeated, and I for one sorry circumstances prevented the people from voting for the bonds, for we surely do need better and more schools But let me give here one of the main causes of the bond defeat, and this is one in thousands.
 In 1913 I bought home at Thirty-eighth avenue and Twenty-seventh street, north, just one block from the city limits. Last year paid just five times as much taxes on my home as when I bought it. Just before the last election I, with many others, received mo- tice that our assessment was raised. Mine was raised just 100 per cent, which is more than paid for my home It built in the spring of 1909, and it will take today $700 or $500 to put it in as good shape as when I bought, but if my assessment stands I will pay this year exactly 10 times as much tax as I paid in 1913. Where is the end? This is nearly equal to confiscation, but what am I to do, and what assurance have I that the same thing will not happen next yearl
 Now, does any one in my position suppose would vote for more bonds? Something is rad- ically wrong. We losing confidence in our officials. Will we ever be able to put in office with a conscience? Iris hard for me to believe all our tax money goes where it is intended. Give us honest men in office and we will have all the funds needed to build schools, auditorium, parks, etc., that would be a credit to any city. If the board of tax ad- justers has the power to raise anyone's as- sessment at will, what relief have we? Such a law ought to be changed. Let's hear from some other taxpayer. Respectfully.

TWENTY YEARS AFTER
w York Telegram.


 Only 20 years have elapsed since Angelo Paino arrived in New York from Italy with all his worldly goods in bundle. He and his wife start back today in the best suite of the Conte Rosso. The fortune symbolizcd by the superior accommodation was made as a contractor in Queens county, where the man obtained reputation for low-grade bids and high-grade work.
 Talking about what has been very success ful career, looked at either from an Italian or an American point of view, Paino said: T came here to get chance, and got 1t. The only thing not American about me is my birthplace, and didn't have any choice in that. Ever since I could choose I've been picking the United States first, last and ali the time. After a visit am coming back" It is no wonder that an impression prevails in the peninsula that the United States is a land of opportunities for those who can seize them.
