POLICE MUST TEACH
MANNERS

The annoyance of noisy automobiles
passing churches without courtesy
from drivers for the services within
has caused the Chief of Police of Sa
vannah to threaten arrest of some of
the worst offenders or if the trouble
is too general, he will close the streets
during the regular hours of worship
In some cases services in few chur-
ches had to be suspended lately due
to the noise of motorcycles and; auto
mobiles.

FAMOUS CHAPEL IN
REPLICA

Corpus Christie college chapel in
England where James Oglethorpe re-
ceived much of his inspiration for the
work he later did in the new world
has been CHOSEN as fitting model for
the new Lowry School of Banking and
Commerce that the recent legacy of
the Lowry estate makes possible, as a
valuable addition to the Oglethorpe
University. The president has now
sailed for England to procure the
plans OF that ancient structure.

IMPROVING ELLIS ISLAND

IMPROVING ELLIS ISLAND
The formal visit of inspection made
by the British ambassador to Ellis
Island has resulted in a draft of rec
Communications submitted to the for
eign secretary and suggesting many
structural alterations even to the
building of new stations for use of
criminals waiting deportation, and for
those who require Kosher food, also
many Improvements in lighting ven
tilation and sanitary conditions. Be-
cause no verbal criticisms were offer
cd on the occasion of the official in
spection and the written report has
been little slow in coming, the U.
). immigration authorities had seemed
TO consider that all was satisfactory.
The report indicates it is not.

EXECUTION BY GAS


The state of Nevada through its
State assembly passed law to exc
cute criminals by lethal gas. The first
criminals to receive capital sentence
were two Cinnamon. Their LAWYERS an
pealed to the Supreme Court of the
State on the grounds of cruel and in
human death which was a purely tech
meal charge not justified by the con-
ditions. However their favorable rul-
ing on the law has caused another ap-
peal to be taken to the u. S Supreme
Court and the date of the execution
cannot be set pending their decision.
Arrangements for the building of the
death chamber are now going on and
the account of these and the actual
test when it comes will be of thrilling
interest, and may be either the cause
of discardtng the plan or else of other
states following it.

The LAW AND THE

bobbed her hair in France durino the

FAVORlTE WRITER PASSES
Everyone has heard of Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm. Many have known
OF the writer Kate Douglas Wiggin,
so long identified with kindergarten
work which she at one time establish
ed in San Francisco.
One of her most delightful stories
IS that one the story of Patsy in which
her own experiences furnish the rich
material. Cuttings from this story are
used in platform readings. Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm has been made real
IN the films portrayed perfertly by
Mari Pickford. Her magazine articles
are real gems. Mrs. Virgins died in
England where she had been for sew
eral months in declining health.
MAUD ADAMS AGAIN
Some saw her recent visit to Sir
Barrie indicates a return to the
stage with a revival of Peter Pan but
1t may be her errand was like that of
a visit paid to Rudyard Kipling by
which she won his consent to a screen
portrayal of Kim after many big pro-
ducers had failed to get his consent.
Miss Adams intends to direct the
screen play herself and to have it
filmed in India which was part of the
agreement necessary to get the story
from Kipling, She will go to the ORR
ent this winter for the purpose.

FACTS OR PROPAGANDA

nR HUBERT WORK, secretary OF
IL interior may be true friend OF
reclamation. The appointment OF MS
fact-finding committee doubtless was
made in all sincerity and with the
view to making the governments Ell
forts more efficient. Yet, the pubic
itv which has eminated from the
hearings in Washington SAVIOR mighty
strong of proganda intended to mouio
nublic opinion in favor of killing OF
government reclamation.
Every report reads like the studied
effort of some press agent to flauns
the failures and forget the success
in dealing with the several govern
ment projects.
That mistakes, both from an en-
pineering and economic standpoint,
have been made is admitted. At the
time the government act was passed
the retaining of desert areas was
in the experimental stage and it is
only natural that mistakes would be
made by the government just as mis-
takes have been made by private cap
ital in the same line of endeavor.
IF the business of the committee is
to find the facts and report them
in full why isn't the press agent
muzzled until the facts are establish
ed and the report is ready?
The public already has been told
that the Yakima project, for instance,
though specifically successful, is
bankrupt. The facts do not justify
any such assertion The facts as
complied by the Yakima Valley Com
munity Federation, show that the net
cost of the project to September 30,
1923 is $12,553, 633. The construction
charges now due on this work, on the
governments own plan of repayment
are SO ,299 ,493. OF this, 1928, 783 has
actually been paid, leaving an unpaid
balance of 5000. In other words
only &c per cent of the annual re-
payment to the government is IN
arrears.
In the maintenance and operation
account the percentage of delinquen-
CIV is even smaller. The operation and
maintenance charges to date are ST.
2O4,757 with s2l51 1886 paid in, or
only "a per cent of the maintenance
ard operation charges have not been
paid on time.
In view of general business condi-
tiohs which have prevailed during the
readjustment period. What other line
of business can make a better show
ing?
With agriculture the country over
in the dumps, the Sunnyside unit
alone in 1922 produced crops worth
Sc, 3O8 ,919, or nearly one half the
net cost Of the entire project.
In the ten years, 191S-1922 the
Sunnyside and Teton units produced
crops worth $33:287.350 or nearly
three times Uncle Sans total invest
ment in the Yakima Valley.
In view of the fact that the Yak
ina project has been paying for it
self every three and one-third years
and at the present time is practically
paid up with Uncle Sam, it is little
difficult to understand the assertion
that all of. the reclamation projects
of the nation are practically broke.

WHY CH1DE THE BANKER?

COME there are who still think the
~ banker wears horns. Who is the
hard-boiled citizen, the man behind
the thumbscrew? says the Nations
Business. The banker, they will tell
you. In the light of this. illusion,
consider brief excerpt from the
resolutions adopted at the recent At
lantic City convention Of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association:
the conclusion is inevitably
forced on the impartial observer
that the primary need of the
world is moral and spiritual re-
generation as the essential basis
for economic recovery. Until the
nations of the world are willing
to liuuidate their hates they can
make little progress toward liqui-
dating their debts.
Hard boiled? Not that! 1t hanks
back to Socrates. 1.-THE true politics.
he said, 'sis first of all politics of
the SOUL"
Come to think of it, when we want
someone to take care of our funds,
to whom do we turn? To the banker.
When we are in a tight place and
need funds, to whom do we turn? To
the banker. When there's a civic
enterprise afoot, whose time and mon
CIV do we commander first? The
bankers.
Old Ed Howe says in the last issue
of his inimitable monthly that the
best banker is not the Give wire" but
the sour old codger who throws cold
water on wildcat schemes. There
may be a deal of truth in that, but
it still doesn't explain the common
prejudice against that branch of bus
mess.
It is an odd psychological quirk.
We wish someone would explain it to
us.
