Americans Funds
Rhodes Inadequate

Oxford, Aug. 80 CA. p. by maiD-
1t is estimated that the average cost
of an oxford education Is somewhat
more than $1,000 a year. For Amer
leans the cost is higher. as they are
unable to spend the vacations cheap.
ly at home. Present costs are nearly
double those of pre-war years. When
the Rhodes Scholarships were insti-
tuted their stipend of $1,000 a wear
was most ample, and some scholars
managed to save enough from it dur
ing their three years of residence to
finance fourth year either in OK
ford or abroad. An increase of $3.50
has been added to the scholarships
but they are still inadequate
Further increases have been pro-
posed but have been voted down by
the Rhodes Trustees on the ground
That they would make the position
OF Rhodes scholar better than that
or the holders of English college
scholarships and thus lead to envy
and discomfort. 1t is now common
for public spirited men of wealth IN
the Dominions to provide Rhodes
scholars from their districts with the
additional money required by pres
emit conditions In England.

Good roads in Japan are as hard to

but If, bill which is being planned
by the Home Department is enacted
by the next Diet. automobiles in this
country will come in for their own
The proposed plan is either to build
new highways or improve the present
ones at cost of some 100000 yen,
one-third of which will be furnished
by the government.
Under the proposed bill the govern

Death of the Peach Crop.

The weather is not encouraging to
those persons who look for signs of
Spring, but the public may pardon an
observer who calls attention to the fol-
lowing message in The Star from
Hagerstown: The peach crop through
out the Cumberland Valley fruit belt
is a total loss, and there will be no
peach crop here next Summer, de-
clared growers today" The hope is
that the Cumberland Valley peach
crop may outlive it's death. and that
the message is not so dark as printed.
1t is not possible that the peach crop
OF some locality should escape destruc-
ton, but 1t sometimes seems that in
order to have a large crop OF good
peaches in June and July it is neces-
sary to kill the crop in February or
March. To kill 1t in January seems a
trifle early, but it is fair to accept the
destruction OF the Cumberland Valley
peach crop as sign of the approach
Of Spring.

of the constitutional amendments have

Instinct of Men to Gamble
Cannot Be Cured by Statutes

Some of the concerns approved by
these commissions have put out issues
OF stock which proved to be worse
than worthless, so now all sorts or
safeguards to protect the gambling
part of the public are being proposed.
To buy stocks on margin is looked
upon as a perfectly legitimate trans
action. The~investor may lose his last
dollar, but he has not been gambling;
he has been speculating. The COM
munlty Is not aroused. But when one
who has never had the least trouble
in going to the bank and borrowing
money at 6 per cent listens to some
smooth-talking agent with oil stock
to sell. believes him when he says II
will pay from Is to Is per cent, and
deliberately buys the stock, only to
lose his money, this investor, accord
ing to modern thought is not spec
ulator or a gambler, but the unwary
victim of swindle. OF course, he
could have gone to his home banker
and sought advice, and learned that
it was no better than thousand-to-
one shot. Buying stock in a concern
that promises to pay big returns is,
of course, gambling, pure and simple.
do not know whether it is moral
sense or cowardice that keeps me
away from poker, the stock market
and the seller of blue sky. But l hold
that these questions are more of
morals than they are of law. There
are some things that the Government
cannot accomplish. One thing it can
not do Is to eradicate or destroy de-
sire on the part of certain persons to
get something for nothing.
u
When two men start in to swindle
each other and one succeeds and the
other goes into court to set aside the
contract the court says to them: You
both were scoundrels, and we have
no time to determine relative degrees
of turpitude. The law VIII leave you
where you left yourselves" In In
diana we tried for a time to convict
the man who bought votes, and
failed. Then we enacted double
barreled statute granting immunity to
either the buyer or seller who first got
to the prosecuting attorney and told
the truth. This worked, and did much
to purify elections. Perhaps our blue
sky laws ought to require a prospec-
tive purchaser OF stock to investigate
before he buys, render him as re-
sponsible to the law as the man who
sells.
No one, OF course. can defend gam
ping, nor croOkeonesS, nor clsnon-
esty. However, II will be vain and
idle for the Government to become
general guardian for every man or
woman who happens to possess the
gambling instinct and desires, from
time to time, to win a few dollars.
What is needed is not more blue-sky
laws, but a revision of the corporate
laws of the land. The Government
should not permit the issuance OF a
charter to any corporation until
every dollar OF the capital stock has
passed through the hands of the
treasurer of State and is in the hands
of the treasurer of the corporation
under bond. This might impede
legitimate enterprise, but 1T would
break down the dividing line between
speculation and gambling. We might
not do so much business. but what we
did would be measurably safe.

Horseshoes.

A subsidiary company Of the United
States Steel Corporation, which has
maintained a special department for
the manufacture of horseshoes, has
decided to close out that branch of
its business, which formerly was
profitable, but which has now dwin-
died. 1t is stated that only about
$4,000 tons of steel is consumed an
nually by this plant for the making
of equine footgear, whereas a few
years ago their manufacture required
more than 100000 tons. 1t is con-
cluded that the space devoted to this
production can be more profitably
used in other lines.
Undoubtedly the lessening of horse
shoe manufacture is mainly due to
the increase Of motor cars. Horse.
shoeing has dwindled to the point that
1t Ia now rare to find an open smithy
on the roadside. These old black
smith shops where formerly smiths
were regularly to be seen at work
on the hoofs of horses are now either
closed or have been turned into auto.
mobile repair shops. Usually a gas
pump has replaced the hitching post.
OF course, horseshoes will still be
manufactured. The horse has not
passed from the scene. Indeed, in
the rural regions horses come into
their own at this season of the year
by drawing the sledges of farmers to

There is no dignity in the world
quite comparable to that of q new
Senator Generally he has read much
of the traditions of the Senate and
naturally he looks forward to the
first time the doors shall be soIemnIy
closed and the public and employees
excluded to the end that high mat
ters of state may be discussed by
the elder statesmen and disposed OF
with a silent wisdom impressive in
Its exclusiyeness.
In turn. IT is always with a shock
that the Senator picks up the next
edition of the papers telling the
whole wide world what has happened
within the sacred sanctum sane
forum. All of this he regards as an
Invasion of senatorial rights and
privileges. Ordinarily executive seS-
sions are for the purpose OF con-
sidering the fitness for of1ce of the
various men nominated by the Presi-
dent. 1t is in executive session that
the Senate advises and consents"
or doesn't advise and doesn't consent.
Here also the treaties with foreign
powers are considered and acted
upon.
Nowadays even the shadow Of the
delicacies of other times has disap-
peared. Foreign countries and for

session Warlike words are hurled
across the seas and over the bor-
ders. If anybody doesn't like 1t let

1t is that the louder and ruder a
Senator talks about other peoples tho
oftener he votes to do away with an
army and a navy.

of Pennsylvania, who fought over
