cannot afford to buy those high

lands as compared with lands in the
West, he is impressed with this Sec

The Association should confer

cause water TO be imponded On the
upper side of the culyert, provided
such places are with anopheles flight

pipes be lowed sufficiently to dry all

essary, the stream bed below the cul-
vert should be regarded to allow
pipes to discharge freely.
AS there are probably dozens Of
sources of anopheles of this nature
at the present time, the work can
not all be done at once, but as soon
as other road work allows, it should
be done. 1t IS the business of your
Association to see that it is done ;
done as soon as it is convenient, and
certainly all completed within a year.
Such defects must not be allowed in

Sumter county should employ a
man (full time) as its Agent to go

This man, if carefully and properly
selected, can accomplish large
amount of work. He must be per-

He must understand how to run an

WASHINGTON, April 80. - The
ruling of Attorney General Daugh-
erty against serving liquor on Amer
ican ships on high seas, was over
turned today by the Supreme court
which held at the same time, how
ever, that the ban on prohibiting
both American foreign ships from
bringing liquor into American ports
under bond, was legal and enforce
able.
The court held that the prohibition
amendment could not legally be ap-
piled to prevent American ships sell

side Of the American territorial wa
ters. To that extent the decision
reversed the decision by Federal
Judge Hand at New York.

surely be a signal for a lot Of en-

He meant, of course, the absolutely
unique shape of the countryside

Czechoslovakia is an island entirely
surrounded by land, and on three

If there is any menace to Czecho-

the direction Of Hungary. The Mag

But there does not seem to be

Want Ship Subsidy
Continued by Govt
(By Federated Press)

Washington-A slightly modified
form of ship subsidy, by which the
private ship owners will take what
ever profits and the U. S. government
will stand any losses there may result
from the operation of the ships now
held by the Shipping Board, was pro-
posed to the Shipping Board by rep
resentatives of the steamship owners
and managing operators at a confer
ence with members of the board.
By the terms of the proposal the
government will continue to stand the
present losses, which amount to ap-
proximately $5O,O00,OO0 annually.
The proposition did not find a
hearty response in the board. The
only difference between this plan and
the one which congress turned down
is that under the ship subsidy plan
the government would turn every
thing over to private owners and
grant them certain subsidies out of
which they would meet the losses and
under the plan offered today the gov
ernment would pay the losses direct
ly. Instead of operating the merchant
marine through certain managers, the
government paying the managers
operators percentage of gross re-
ceipts for their services, twelve or
eighteen subsidiary corporations will
be formed, located in American ports,
and these corporations will operate
the government owned ships. The
government will own the stock of the
corporations.
To the extent that there has been
government operation of the merchant
marine established by the government
it will be continued, under modified
form of operation, unless the present
plans are altered.

PrOgressives Will Confer
Harvester Trust
GOuges Farmers

Madison, Wis.-The harvester trust
and it's method of fleeing the farmer
is explained in the current issue OF
La Follette's, Magazine. The trust
was organized 20 years ago with a
stock issue of $12O,000,000. j. P.
Morgan & Co. took $3,451 ,893.34 of
this amount "for services rendered
and for legal expenses" In 1903 and
1904 the trust acquired three compet-
ing plants and operated them secret
ly for several years. After nine years
of the most merciless exploitation,
the government started legal pro-
ceedings against the combine. These
proceedings were postponed during
the war, and the trust took full ad-
vantage of it's opportunity to again
play the role of highwayman. During
this period agents of the trust con-
Quoted a campaign of Education"
among the farmers.
"Speeches were made, editorials
were written and pamphlets were cir
culated to convince the farmer that
implement prices were high because
the manufacturers were paying ex-
cessive wages to labor, and that the
farmer himself was responsible for
high prices, inasmuch as farm prod
ucts, an important element in the cost
of living, were bringing peak prices.
"Strange to say, when the farmer
was Debated in 1919, and farm prices
suddenly slumped, the economic law
cited by the harvester trust during
the war did not operate to bring de-
crease in the price of farm imple-
ments. The trust continued to soak
the farmer, and it's prices today, based
on the same methods of arbitrary
price fixing which prevailed during
the war, are so excessive that the
farmer is unable to purchase needed
equipment."

road became entangled with the rail-

it wanted to cut wages without hold

jurisdiction it was thrown into bank
ruptcy, and the federal court appoint

BRITISH KINGS DOCTOR RECON-.
MENDS ALCOHOL
His Majesty's Own Physician Attacks
Lady AstOr's Pet Temperance Bill
introduced in House of Lords

London-Opponents of prohibition
in England have read with interest
the recent remarks of Lord Dawson
in the house of lords endorsing the
use of alcohol by adults in modera-
ton. The occasion was the second
reading of Lady Astor's temperance
bill. Lord Dawson is physician to the
king.
The speaker always made the pro-
viso that drinking must be moderate
and indulged in at the proper time to
be beneficial He told of a recent
public dinner which he had attended,
saying in part:
"The center table consisted entirely
of yprohibitionists, many of them high
.ecclesiastics. That table was the one
dull, grey spot of the dinner, and if
anybody wished to be converted from
uncompromising condemnation of al
cohol, he would have been converted
by that scene"
Referring to Lord Astor's speech
in introducing the bill, Lord Dawson
said it gave him the impression that
Lord Astor really desired to make out
a case for the elimination of alcohol
II should be more happy" he con-
tinued, "if I had heard from his lips
one word of approval of alcohol in
any shape or form. One cannot shut
ones eyes to the fact that quite a
large proportion of the people who
support this bill are people no look
on alcohol as harmful thing to
youthful persons"
"Under the conditions of modern
civilization" Lord Dawson went on,
"and in these days Of concentration,
the constant endeavor to put IL hours
into six, and the high measure Of
specialization, it is obvious that at
the end of such a day the mind of
man gets into one track. He has no
uplift. There alcohol comes in very
well. Alcohol-in moderation-gets
that man out of the track. 1t lightens
his mental touch"
- The kings physician took the ex-
ample of the working man, in these
days of high pressure, who was en-
gagged in the making of motor cars.
He had, perhaps, been using precisely
the same set of muscles for seven or
eight hours, and consequently had
been using precisely the same cells Of
the brain. "Is it to be wondered at"
he said, "that at the end Of the day
his brain is in one track? / suggest
that there comes in the moderate use
of alcohol. He is uplifted. Good beer
at that particular time of day would
help him and not harm him" He
added that a number Of people at the
end of the day were quite unable to
digest their food because they were
too tired
"a small quantity Of ALCOHOL" he
said, "makes them feel happy with
themselves and happy with the world.
"There was no time in our civiliza-
tion," the speaker concluded, when
alcohol, properly taken, served a more
useful purpose than now."
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-09-07

will deny a policeman the right to
use his pistol or his mace in self
defense, but their promiscuous use on
any and all occasions, as the chief
points out, is unjustifable.
"The danger is three-fold The
mere fact of person running on the
street is not positive evidence of any
thing wrong. Now and then it does
afford real grounds for suspicion that
all is not we'll. AS a rule, however
we are inclined to believe that that
evidence alone hardly warrants an Of
ficer in taking a shot at a runner
If his aim is good he may wound OF
kill an innocent person. If his aim
is bad, even though the suspect be a
crook, it may result in the manning
or killing of others or the needless
destruction of property. There is
too much traffic in the streets in these
days to justify the practice of shoot
ing at tires except in instances OF
dire emergency. The recent fatal
shooting of boy who ran from an
officer and the use of a revolver to
stop an alleged speeder led to the
issuance of the order.
"By the terms of the warning, sum-
mary punishment awaits the police
officer who improperly resorts to his
night stick or his revolver. Colum-
bus is proud of its police force and
feels secure in its protection, but we
believe that the general public will
heartily indorse Chief French's in
structions relative to the proper use
of weapons"

Glad Hand For La Toilette
On His Return From European Trip, Which Has
Been Extended to October 20
Will Make Number of Speeches Outlining the
Policy of the ProgressWes Previous to
and During Next Congress

Senator La Toilette has requested
Progressives in Washington and
throughout the country to make ar
rangements for conference of Pro-
gressive members of Congress before
it convenes in December. 1t is ex-
pected that this memorable session
will be held during the middle of No
vember.
Holding the balance of power in
both houses, the Progressives are in
position to have a great deal to say,
if not actually dictate, who shall be
president of the Senate and speaker
of the House and how the committees
shall be made up.
1t is recognized that with hostile
committees the path of Progressive
laws may be seriously impeded, if
not side-tracked, by last-ditch reac-
tionaries.
Cummins May Have a Fight
1t is predicted that big fight will
be made on the selection of a presi-
dent for the Senate By rules of
courtesy and precedence prevailing in
that body, Senator Cummins, presi-
dent pro tenn. and author of the trans
portation law of 1920, is entitled to
retain the honor and emoluments of
the office
1t is claimed by Progressives, how
ever, that Senator Cummins, as chair
man of the powerful committee on in
terstate commerce, already possesses
too much power and authority for the
good of the people, and they will in
all probability demand that in lieu of
keeping the presidency of the Senate
he retire from the chairmanship.
Should Cummins prefer the larger
salary, the free automobile and other
perquisites of the presidency to the
Craftsmanship of the committee on in
terstate commerce, his retirement
would clear the way for the accession
of Senator La Toilette as head of that
important body, the Wisconsin Sen
ator being the ranking member.
Railroads the Outstanding Issue
The railroad problem is certain to
be the outstanding issue before the
next Congress, and the elimination of
Senator Cummins from the chairman
ship of the committee which will have
control of proposed amendments to
the transportation act would greatly
increase the chance of wiping out pro-
visions that were dictated by the rail
road lobby and forced into the law
by Senator Cummins and others who
are known as railroad Senator's"
