CURzON DISCUSSES
LIQUOR SEIZURES
Admits America Acts Within
International Law, But
Comfy is Violated.

London.-Marquis Curzon, secretary
for foreign affairs, made a long and
important statement in the house Of
lords regarding the seizure by the Uni
ted States of liquor on British vessels:
The secretary declared there was
no chance Of Great Britain agreeing
In any circumstances whatever, to the
proposal that the United States auth
critics have the right to search vessels
for liquor within the 12-mile limit
Lord Curzon stated it is universally
recognized That ship has particulars
ly close relationship to the state whose
flag she flies and on many matters
It is generally convenient that all gov
ernments should recognize the law OF
the flag state as paramount. The net
result of this has been that on many
matters the practice has grown up that
3 state should not exact compliance
with its own law, even though ship
is within its waters, but leave such
questions to be regulated by the law
of the flag state.
This, however, is international
practice rather than international law
and, accordingly, departure from it
means a breach, not of international
law, but of the comfy of nations.
Thus if q nation acts unreasonably
toward the ships of other nations, the
latter may retaliate."
Referring to the breaking of the
British customs seals, Lord Curzon
explained that the seals were not
sacrosanct outside of British waters.
and in. general repeated the recent
statement made by the prime minis
ter, Stanley Baldwin, which was to
the effect that there was no ground
for protest on this score and that
Great Britain recognized America s
right to break the seals in territorial
waters.

ton was effective July /. Although

WORKER DISCHARGED
BY COUNTY SHERIFF

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July a.
Don Chafin, sheriff of Logan county,
and chief of the coal miners gunner
in that section, has such power that
he can compel the discharge of a
worker who offends him.
The "Americanism" that exists in
Logan county is indicated by this
story published in the Charleston
Mail:
"W. P. Blankenship of Logan called
at the office of Attorney General
England and reported that he had
just been banished from Logan coun-
ty because he had been 'upholding

they should be driven to desperation,
and there are lot of political crooks
and charlatans whom l would joyfully
see driven clear out of the game, but
all of that brings home precious lit
tie bacon, either to farmer or wage
Garner.
''If\the wage earners of our coun-
try had not the sense and the eour-
age to organize, nobody would have
much sympathy for them and nobody
would take their complaints very Sc
riously. Gentlemen, the temptation
to say, Go thou and do likewise is
almost beyond my power to resist.
Farmers Best Judge.
1.-THE best knowledge of an industry
or an occuation is to be found within
that industry and that occupation.
Farmers know more about farm prob
lens than anyone else knows about
these problems. Why do farmers
think they must run to legislators to
find out about the things which they
themselves are the best experts?
''There is a great gulf between
politics and industry. Industry must
work out it's own salvation, build up
its own great governing forces, apply
democratic principles to fit its own
structure and meet the needs of hui
manity out of it's own intelligence.
There is no other force that has the
qualifications to take this job away
from industry, and as long as organi-
cation persists and grows within in
dustry and the intelligence that is in
industry devises methods of Junction.

ing, no other force can ever grow up
that win possess the qualifications.
"Our social order has got to de-
velop according to the character OF
those things that provided its life. In
pastoral days the social order took
its form from the pastoral life Of the
people. In our time it must do like
wise, and in spite Of all the efforts Of
dreamers to the contrary, it does do
likewise.
us it not logical to apply the same
thought to the rural life of the cOun-
try? Rural and urban life are large
ly interdependent upon the same ma
jor trends and developments"

square at noon. E. B. Fish's address
was listened to with great interest.
Following the patriotic exercises the
crowd moved to the corner OF Seventh
and L streets where children's races
and contests took place under the di-
rection Of Leo Cournoyer. Besides
the cash prizes awarded the winners
each child taking part in the contest
was awarded an ice cream cone. Az
ter the contests all children in the
large crowd were given treat Of ice
cream.
A 3O-round smoker was staged by
the American Legion Post OF Hoquiam
at Electric park ct 2 o'clock, which
was witnessed by about 1900 people.
A large crowd lined the river below
the Eighth street bridge for the wat
er sports at 4 o'clock, where they were
entertained with fancy diving, boat
races by crews from the destroyers,
log and block rolling and swimming
races.
Fireworks Grand.
A street dance and a mardi gras
were next on the schedule.
The fireworks from the top of
Campbell's hill provided beautiful
and fitting climax to the days cele-
bration. For at least an hour, hun
dreds of colored rockets and beauti-
full sets occupied the attention Of the
crowds who lined the river and city
streets. The Welcome to Hoquiam"
set was greatly applauded It was
outlined in white and green colors, the
letters standing out perfectly. The
Water Falls" set was voted the
most beautiful of all by the holiday
merry makers.
Everyone enjoyed the day Of eele-
bration immensely, not a complaint
being heard during the day or since
and will undoubtedly go down in his
tory as the greatest and best Splash
ever held on Grays Harbor.

5000 Year Old
evidences in Colorado

Durango, Colo, Nov. Shy A. P.)
A race ante-dating the Christian
era by 1000 years inhabited the
southwest. is the statement made
here recently by Jesse Nusbaum, SUI
perintendent of~the Mesa Verde ma
tional park, Colorado, after the I'M
covering of house said to have been
inhabited by a people long before the
Gil dwellers arrived in the section
now known as the Mesa Verde Ma
tional park.
The Nusbaum discovery was made
about eight feet beneath the floor or
founda ton, of a cliff dwelling and in
the same cavern. located about O
mile south of the, Spruce Tree
house i'll the park. The tribe, ac-
cording to Nusbaum and other mem
bers OF the party that unearthed the
house, belonged to what are known
as the basket Makers and their
presence here was established beyond
doubt by the class of pottery dis
covered in the house, it was said.
This pottery, Nusbaum asserts. is
easily identified as of a period at
least 1000 years before Christ, and
other evidence was found to Justify
the statement that this region was
Inhabited by humans long before the
cliff jewellers arrived. The pottery is
OF a crude clay. tempered with cedar
bark, process used by the earliest
ancients. 1t has a adobe color with
slight pinkish cast

DR.. Thomas Speaks
to N. E. School
Supts. at Boston

Boston, Mass. Nov. 9.-(SpeciaD
DIR. Augustus o. Thomas, commits
sioner of education for Maine and
president of the World Federation
of Education Associations. speaking
before the New England Superin-
tendents' Association here at the an
nual banquet tonight explained the
work of the World Conference on
Education and the purpose of the
World Federation.
The invitation to attend the
World Conference received almost
universal response from the nations
in sending delegates" said Commits
sioner Thomas.
1T showed there was one phase of
civilization upon which the nations
can get together, where they can
lay aside their prejudice in the solu-
ton of their problems" continued
, Commissioner Thomas.
! I'm the last decade the value of
education has become universally re-
cogniZed. If it were possible to en-
body a series of ideals for the in
| dividual as well as for social life into
practical teaching methods we could
write today the chief characteristics
of the coming generation.
THE high light of the conference
was the organization of a World Fed
Grafton. The chief educational as
sociauons of 70 countries are eligible
to membership. Not all of these
countries are supplied with educa-
tional associations of national scope
and general purpose at the present
time, but in nearly all of them the
movement is under way and before
long 72 countries will be joined on
practically the one vantage ground
which they can agree.
1.-The National Education Associa-
ton was the first member. Any
| member of a national association
, which is federated will become a
| member of the Federation auto
matically. This means that-in time
the five million teachers of the world
teaching nearly quarter of a bill
lion children will be united in a great
forward movement for the purpose
| of teaching the safer and saner ideals
| which are necessary and fundamental
, to the successful operation of world
courts. leagues and associations of
| nations. international agreements
| and peace treaties.
THE World Federation will I'M
dertake to establish an International
Bureau of Research and provide
means of disseminating educational
information. 1t will endeavor to pro-
mote the appointment of educational
attaches in connection with all en-
bassies and legation. 1t will assist
in the development of world civics
| and promote international scholar
ships and the exchange of profess
sors and teachers. 1t will seek to
provide for proper teaching materials.
to re-organiZe the textbooks dealing
with national ideals and contacts. 1t
will not promote radicalism, but will
make steadfast the truer ideals Of
patriotism. 1t will seek to crystalize
the safer saner methods and ideals
of society and government"
