No Power of Expansion

There is no power of expansion In

which they never pass or exceed. They
stand on the brink of the ocean of
thought and power, but never take the
single step that would bring them
there.-Emerson.

Steiger Acquitted
Attempted Killing
Of Polish President

Lemburg, Poland, Dec. 17-(Jewish
Telegraphic Accomplishments Stei-
ger, the Jewish student who was tried
on the charge of having ATTEMPTED to
assassinate President Wojciechowski,
Of Poland, on September 5, 1924, was
acquitted today following nine
weeks trial.
A dramatic scene occurred when
Steiger was asked by Presiding Judge
FRANKIE to say his last word before
the verdict was rendered. Steiger
protested his innocence, declaring
that his arrest and accusation we're
due only to a chain of tragic circum-
stances.
Steiger was arrested September s,
1924. when bomb was hurled at the
carriage of the president, who was
visiting Lemberg. The bomb caused
no harm.
On September IS courtmartial
tried Steiger on the charge of at
tempted assassination and the penalty
of death was in view. Because the
court could not reach a unanimous
decision within "a hours, as the law
required, the case was transferred to
the district court.
The trial in the district court be-
gan on October ~. 1925. It took a
new turn following a confession made
in Berlin by Teofil Olshanski, Ukra,
inian nationalist. He was quoted as
declaring that he threw the bomb on
behalf of the UlSrainian military or

Galicia opposed to the Polish regime

Warns Against
Excessive Attendance
At Moving Pictures

New York, Dec. 17-(AP)-Fre-
quent and indiscriminate "going to
the movies" undoubtedly has its eff
feet in weakening the development of
the normal mind. according to DIR.
Sange- Brown, End. chairman of the
state commission of mental detectives
today. who gave The Associated Press
his views on the mass mind of the
ever-growing attraction "of. the NOV
les"
Moving pictures are undoubtedly
the easiest conceivable manner OF
registering impressions upon the
mind" said the specialist. ITO 60
and sit for hours upon end V atchins
a procession of visual images that are
poured into the brain, certainly is the
equivalent of bringing UP a spoon-fed
mind. The exercise that a mind gets
in making it's own assertions-for in
stances, summoning up it's own WIS.,
ual images to illustrate stories read
in books-is lost, and with this loss of
exercise come probably lessening
in the power Of the mind to make
these associations. / should say that

NIGH make just the difference in a
normal individual between q good
mind and very mediocre one, or an
average mind and poor one"

GIVES OPINION
ON maine PRIMARY
Law AS AMENDED

Deputy Attorney General Sanford
L. Fogg in an opinion rendered
Thursday at the request of Secre-
tary Of State Frank w. Ball in re-
lation to the act passed at the last
session of the legislature amending
the primary law, especially referring
to the manner and time of making
enrolment and the duties of boards
of registrations, declared that the
law does not specify in what manner
the voter shall file his declaration.
The law says in effect that the
voter may enroll himself by filing
with the board of registration a dec
laration in writing signei by him.
continues Judge Fogg in, the opin-
ion.
1T is my opinion that il is not
necessary for the voter to appear
before the board of registration in
order to file his enrolment. He may
cause his declaration to be delivered
to the board by mail or otherwise
and when the same is received, II
becomes the duty of the board to en-
ter his name on the enrolment list
according to his party designation
This applies not only to voters who
are enrolling for the first time in the
precinct or municipality but also tc
the voter already enrolled who de.
slres to make new enrolment.
In case of the voter changing his
previous enrolment, by making q
new one, he will not be allowed tc
vote at any primary election within
the next six months following the
enrolment.
1T is evident tat person who Il
legal voter may enroll himself a.
member Of any political party by
filing with the board of registration
at any time before the day o: pri
mary election, the declaration. Voter:
entitled to enrolment may also bt

statement as required by law. A
suitable number of such statement.
shall be furnished at each votine
place by the city, town or plantation
I'm order to avoid possible con
fusion and delay at the polls, It Il
advisable for those voters who car
conveniently do so. to make theil
enrolment prior to election day."

Col. Mitchell Will
Tell Of Charges in
Shenandoah Crash

Washington, Dec. 17-(AP)-While
Colonel william Mitchell was wait
ing late today for verdict in his
courtmartial trial. it was disclosed
that he had been summoned to ap-
pear next Monday for questioning by
the naval board investigating the
Shenandoah disaster.
The colonel said he would appear
as requested. Once previously the
naval board called him to the wit
ness stand but he refused to testify
while the courtmartial charges
against him were pending.
Colonel Mitchell probably will be
about the last witness before the
court formulates it's findings. He will
be questioned about his charges of
improper preparations for the Shen-
andoah's last trip and probably also
regarding his assertion that an at
tempt was made to influence the
testimony Of Mrs. Zachary Lans-
downe.

AT ENCAMPMENT IN

Adjutant General James Hanson
stated Thursday that he now plans
for large encampment to be held

'The men of the 1O3d Infantry.
S6th Infantry, and the officers of the
Reserve Corps will be in attendance,
to the probable number of 1900.
1T appears to me that the cit
zens of Augusta should take an ac-
tive interest in bringing his encamp-
ment to their city. for it will leave
in the neighborhood of $4,000 in the
city," he said.
They will go to anv lengths to
bring a little convention here, which
really amounts to nothing as CON-
pared to the advantages of the
Guard Encampment. Most of the
supplies for those men will be pur-
chased right here in the city, and
the individual men spend q lot OF
money in the two weeks they are
here. 1t is good advertising for the
town, as the personnel of the vari-
GUS units inevitably draws large
crowds of visitors, who in turn leave
more money"
He went on: II fail to see why
the people here should be so apa-
thetic about this thing, for it cans
