THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY

THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY
(From The Times-Recorder. Sept.
%, 1894.)
A bevy of pretty school girls in
charge of Miss Ida Munro, one of
the faculty of the National PARK
Seminary, Washington, left this
morning for that celebrated insti-
tuition of learning. Among the
number was Miss Annie Belle Ro-
ney, Of this city, Miss Fleta Wise, Of
The Plains, and Miss Paschal, of
Dawson.
The scene of the rally (?) yes
terday was in striking contrast to
that of the 18th, when 1900 demo-

much of rally"

elected mayor of Leslie, and will dc

that embryo metropolis.
Cotton dropped eight or ten
points again yesterday, a define
of a quarter of a cent within tic
past two or three days. Notwith-
standing this fact Americas buyers
paid Thursdays quotations for the
staple, there being little change in
prices.
Several wagon loads of good old
country hams and smoked bacon
were brought in yesterday, and
found ready sale al the highest
prices. Plenty of Sumter county
farmers are independent of the low
price of cotton.

China is threatened with ano-

The present strategy of the great

Conflicting rivalries and ambiti-

conflict. China, as a republic, is
not a success, and the issue of

COST OF EDUCATION

The sum spent on education
sounds enormous" But when
reduced to its lowest terms-the
cost to each idividual-it seems
very small. Taking the country
over,it is about cents per person
per day. 1t seems hardly fair to
charge education with the exces.
sive burden of which it is such
small part. We are able to give
without "sorely taxing" QUE
ability what is needed to provide
adequate school advantages for
all, if only we regard the educa-
ton of our children as a primary
duty of the State. 1t is a matter
of priority of interest and not
a question of ability.-New York
Times.

CRIMINALS

CRIMINALS
Dealing with crooks is apt to
make any man cynical about human
nature. An official Of a big bond
ing company expresses his opinion
that women are more honest than
men because they are more suscep-
tible to fear.
This official may have liver trou-
BILE.
Fear doesn't keep people honest.
They are honest by choice. Ninety
nine out of 100 would be honest
even if there were no Furnishing
laws for the hayward. Criminal
laws are made for very small n9i-
nority.

WEIGHT

Ice cream should be sold by
weight instead of by quart, says a
resolution by the N, J. Weights and
measures association. This, they
point out, would checkmate the
trickster who pumps air into ice
cream to swell its size, which is
something new in applied science.
1t would also be a lot fairer to
sell eggs by weight instead of by
the dozen.

Hugo, author of Lies Miserables,"
one of the worlds most splendid

concerning the future. AS he felt
deaths hand on his brow, in words
vivid and beautiful, he said:

THREATENING AMERICAN
NATIONAL, SECURITY

By far the most important
event of Defense Day occurred
not in the United States at all
but was recorded in the dispatch
es from Geneva. They announced
that Sir Cecil Hurst, speaking
for the British delegation, had
laid proposal before the Lea
que of Nations which touches the
security of the United States.
more deeply than all that was
said and done and thought yes
terday in the United States.
The British proposal is to
amend international law so
that in the event of war by the
League against an aggressor the
British Navy, acting for the Lea.
que, shall have the right to en-
force an unlimited blockade
against all ships. To this promo
sal, according to the reports. M.
Loucheur, in the name of France.
gave his assent. If this doctrine
IS actually adopted by the League
the practical and logical conse-
ouence of our isolation will be
forced upon US with a Vengeance.
For see what this means: the
powers In the League are attemp-
ing to organize world peace.
Britian goes to Geneva and saws:
We advocate compulsory arbi-
tration."
France replies: "We agree.
provided the compulsory part Of
it is backed by armed force"
Britain retorts: eve are
ready to use our navy rs our
part of the armed force against
a nation declared by the League
to have started an aggressive
war. But if we are to use our
navy We must use it as we used
1T against Germany, and we can
not. be held liable to any damage
we do to the shipping of neutral
nations outside the League. To
put 1t very bluntly, if the League
declares war against another
Germany, and the British NAVY
sets up a blockade, the League as
a whole must protect Britain
from the protest which the UNI
ted States as a possible outsider
and neutral will make"
That is what is being debated
IN Geneva That is what Europe
is thinking about. Was there
ever subject in foreign affairs
that touched our interests more
closely, or one which demonstra-
ted more practically the danger
and the folly of our STANDING
aloof? Cannot even Mr.. COOLIDGE
see that the logical consequence
OF the success of the Dawes plan
is to bring the European powers
together for their own projections
exactly as they are tending now
to come together at Geneva. and
that as they come together thew
are bound to make decisions
which affect the vital interests
of a world power like the United
States? Mr.. Coolidge and Mr..
Hughes may think they are not
interested in the political prob
lens of Europe, but if those
problems produce a war in
which the League is aligned as an
unit against the aggressor. Mr..
Coolidge will find it as difficult
to preserve neutrality as Mr.. viii
SON did. He will find it more
difficult in fact, because on the
line the League is now taking

speculative element were awaiting the
publication Of the first quarter results

A relatively poor earnings statement
and disappointing balance sheet had

also declined.
