Waters HOwes Acquitted

The case of Waters Howes, of An
napolis, indicted in two cases, came up
this afternoon. On one charge he was
tried before the court, and a verdict
of not guilty was the result. The sec
ond trial was before jury. and like
verdict was rendered. insufficient
evidence was produced by the State to
support the charges, and the cases
were disposed of in short order.

cial difficulties, which in some
cases are acute. Relief should be
granted by definite authority OF
law empowering the secretary
of the interior in his discretion
to suspend, readjust, and re-
assess all charges against water
users. This whole question is
being considered by experts. You
will have the advantage of the
facts and conclusions which
they may develop. This situa-
. ton, involving a government in
vestment of more than $135,Q00.@
900, and affecting more than &c.
900 water users, is serious.
While relief which is necessary
should be granted, yet contracts
with the government which can
be met should be met. The es-
tablished general policy of these
projects should not be abandon
ed for any private control.
Highways and Forests
Highways and reforestation
should continue to have the in
terest and support of the gov
eminent. Everyone is anxious
for good highways. 1 have made
a liberal proposal in the budget
for the continuing payment to
the states by the federal gov
eminent Of its share for this
necessary public Improvement.
No expenditure of public money
contributes SO much to the ma
tional wealth as for building
good roads.
Reforestation has an impor-
lance far above the attention it
usually secures. A special COM
mittee of the senate is Investigate
ing this need, and shall vel.
come a constructive policy based
on their report.
1t is 100 years since our coun-
try announced the Monroe doc
trine. This principle has been
ever since, and is now, one Of
the main foundations Of our for
eign relations. It must be main
tanned. But in maintaining it we
must not be forgetful that a
great change has taken place.
We are no longer a weak nation,
thinking mainly Of defense,
dreading foreign imposition. We
are great and powerful. New

bilities. Our duty then was to
protect ourselves. Added to that,
our duty now is to help give
stability to the world. We want
idealism. We want that vision
which lifts men and nations
above themselves. These are vir-
tues by reason of their own
merit. But they must not be
clustered; they must not be I'M

The world has had enough OF
the curse of hatred and selfisha

It has had enough of the wrong

the mealing of the nations there
must be good will and charity,
confidence and peace. The time
has come for a more practical

reliance upon the principle that
right makes its own might. Our
authority among the nations
must be presented by justice and
mercy. 1t is necessary not only
to have faith, but to make sac

Civil Service
The aintenance and extension
of the classified civil service is
exceedingly important. There
are nearly $4,000 persons in
the executive civil service draw
ing about $7O0,OOO,O00 of year
ly compensation. Four-fifths Of
these are in the classified serv-
ice. This method Of selection of
the employees of the United
States is especially desirable for
the postoffice department. The
civil service commission has rec
commended that postmasters at
first, second, and third-class of
fees be classified. Such action,
accompanied by a repeal of the
four-year-term Of office, would
undoubtedly be an Improvement.
I also recommend that the field
force for prohibition enforcement
be brought within the classified
civil service without covering in
the present membership. The
best method for selecting public
servants is the merit system.
Public Buildings
Many of the departments in
Washington need better housing
facilities. Some are so crowded
that their work is impeded,
others are so scattered that they
lose their identity. While I do not
favor at this time a general pub
lie building law, l believe it is
now necessary, in accordance
with plans already sanctioned

this foundation, which the gov
eminent can approve and COM
mend, but which the people
themselves must create.
immigration
American institutions rest sole
ly on good citizenship. They
were created by people who had
background of self-govern-
ment. New arrivals should be
limited to our capacity to absorb
them into the ranks of good citi-
zenship. America must be kept
American. For this purpose, it
is necessary to continue a policy
of restricted immigration. 1t
would be we'll to make such i'm
migration of a selective nature
with some inspection at the
source, and based either on a
prior census or upon the record
of naturalization. Either meth
cd would insure the admission
of those with the largest capac-
itY and best intention of becom-
ing citizens. L am convinced
that our present economic and
social conditions warrant a limi-
tation of those to be admitted.
We should find additional safe
ty in law requiring the imme-
date registration of all aliens.
Those who do not want to be
partakers Of the American spirit
ought not to settle in America.
Veterans
No more important duty falls
on the government of the United
States than the adequate care Of
it's veterans. Those suffering dis
abilities incurred in the service
must have sufficient hospital re-
lief and compensation. Their de-
pendents must be supported. Re-

Really Was Pirate Chanty

1t will be news to most persons
that part at least Of the sea-song in
Treasure Island" is authentic, and
certainly was sung by the pirates and
buccaneers in the Caribbean in the
late Seventeenth and Elizabeth cen
turtles.
Dead Mans Chest is an island in
the Virgins which has now lost Its
identity in the new name Dead
Chest Island" Here the pirates were
in the habit of repairing to careen
their ships and stretch their legs, and
naturally it was an ideal occasion for
songs which would have strong pirat-
ical and local flavor.
Curiously enough, there is little
church on the Chilian coast which is
obviously built of ship timbers. and
recently an enthusiast waiting Tor a
coasting steamer bethought him that
il the building came from a ship the
bell probably did as well. A climb
among the rafters did not reveal the
name of the ship. as he hoped, but
sure enough. round the edge OF the
bell were the words, Fifteen men on
the dead mans chest" All that the
priest could tell him was that the
church bell came from a ship that
was wrecked in 1922, which was just
the time that the West Indies were
getting rather hot for the pirates, ana
many were being driven into u'
Pacific.
1t is an interesting sidelight on the
strange hooks and corners irom
which Stevenson OR. L. Sd collect
cd the material for his books.

Point Past 6 Months

Nsv York. Sept. 23-The cost of
living in the last six months has
risen to a point higher than ever be-
fore, it was announced today in &
statement by the National Industrial
Conference Board, but the earnings
of the average American working
man have gone. proportionately. even
higher. In other words the wage
situation reflects a higher level for
with what these earnings will buy
than at any time since before the
war. not excepting the peak period
of 1920, the report stated.
Rent has risen more rapidly than
any other item in the family budget.
having climbed to q point rs per-
cent higher than in 1914. From
March. 1922. to last July there was a
steady rise in the cost of living
amounting to A. percent.
Between March and July of this
year food prices scared 3.5 percent
to a point of AZ percent above the
pre-war level. Reported increases in
food prices from different parts OF the
ington the increase was IS percent,
in Chicago and Detroit 81 percent.
in Richmond SIS percent. as compared
with 81 percent in Salt Lake City,
which represented the smallest ad-
vance. The potato led all other
varieties Of food. having climbed 147
percent since 1914.
In the rent item, influence seemed
to have subsidized somewhat in the
larger eastern citieH, except in Wash
ington. where there was an increase
og between II and 90 percent In

higher rents, six reported reductions,

How Cold Nav Be Stopped

A writer to the New York World,
who signs himself "X. X. j." pre-
sents the following discovery OF q
method of nipping an oncoming cold
in the bud:
AT the first sneeze drink half a
teaspoon Of bicarbonate Of soda in
half slass OF water, ava | repeat
toe dose in half an hour. This treat
ment has stopped uozc.l threatened
colds in year.
II don't know why this simple
treatment is so efficient. but the
chronic cold catcher will notice his
sneezing usually starts a short time
after dinner or some other hearty
meal. Perhaps tho white corpus
cles have left the throat ana nose to
guard the stomach. The soda. re-
ducing acidity let's them 60 back to
their job in the head.
THE doctors may snort at the
remedy, but it works"
