SEASONED AND TESTED

Certainly enough time has elaps-
ed to demonstrate with a great deal
of thoroughness the value of our in
stitutions and their dependability as
rules for the regulation of human
conduct and the advancement OF
civilization. They have been in ex-
istence long enough to have become
very well seasoned. They have met,
and met successfully, the test Of ex-
rience."-President Coolidge.
And yet to hear some. who never
so much as invented a mouse-trap'
talk about "scrapping the old gear
ono might think all required for
progress is scrapping the old.
A sensible manager doesn't scrap
the old machine until assured Of a
new one that will work better
When that may be had 1t Is usually
found to embody the salient prin-
ciples Of the old, improved. Com
paratively few substitutes for the
old machines are original and If sc
have to undergo tests before at
tanning the best results. Moreover
tt's a safe guess the effective
originators didn't spend much time
in conversation.
Making the best use Of the old. OF
that which we have, is the best as
surance OF capability for improve
ment.

MONTICELLO

One Of the most gratifying among
the observances of the country's
15oth anniversary was the dedica-
tion of Monticello, the home Of
Thomas Jefferson, designed and built
according to his original plan and so
peculiarly a memorial Of the author
of the Declaration Of Independence.
We have the women to thank for
the effort which succeeded in rails
ing the 100000 required for preser-
walton Of the Jefferson home. 1t
would have been cause for regret
and humiliStion had the effort not
succeeded.
A noted English editor has said Of
America that her great dead as in no
other country aid the living. Among
her great dead surely is Jefferson.
That he exempfified one view Of gov
eminent and John Adams another
did not prevent either from recog-
mixing great worth in his opponent.
And those who have come after. who
have put to practical use the
practical In both these somewhat
conflicting theories. have cause to
cherish that which the memorial at
Monticello will help to keep in mind.

Failure of the Primary

(Phila. Public Ledger
It is not enough to denounce the
defects of the. direct primary sys-
tenn, as revealed by the Senate in
quiry into its cost to the candidates.
The time has come. as is pointed
out In the admirable article on the
subject by the Hon. Robert Won
Moschzisker printed on this page,
for constructive thought looking to
future action. Conditions as they
exist under a system which tends to
limit opportunities for election to
public Office to rich men or those
willing to assume embarrassing OBJ
legations, cannot be permitted to
continue.
Two alternatives present them
selves: Return to the convention
system, or an attempt to combine
the old and the new with safe
guards to prevent existing abuses.
1t is the judgement of the learned
commentator whom we are priv1-
legged to quote, that the convention
system presents the lesser evils and
that it ought to be possible under
it to limit by law the expenditures
of candidates.
The convention has certain con-
spicuous advantages: 1t insures a
greater number of volunteer WORK
ers; it offers opportunities for ser
vice in the open to aspiring politi-
clans; it fixes responsibility for the
nomination of unworthy candidates,
and it offers field for training in
those representative methods which
are an essential part of our political
system. The primary has bred
scandals which were absent under
the older system, and it's candidates
are certainly on no higher level of
character and fitness than those
chosen by the delegate system.

The opening dance of the 1926
season, which also served as dedi-
cation Of our newly enlarged Casino,
was an unqualified success both
from the viewpoint of those in at
tendance and of the sponsors. The
Casino, in its new and striking dress,
presented beautiful picture, with
the orchestra in conventional black
and white against a background OF
Green boughs and enhanced by the
multi-colored garb of the many
dancers. The music this .ear pre-
sents a great improvement on er that
of last and many expressions of
satisfaction were heard on all sides.
The orchestra this season consists
of the following players: Mr.. Pierce,
leader and violinist; Mr.. Maxwell.
piano; Mr.. Trask, saxophone>- Mr..
Bagley, banjo; and Mr.. Washburn,
drums. Every Saturday night for
the balance of the season the COM
mittee plans to present some other
attraction in addition to the regular
dance program. When questioned
as to the feature for the coming
Saturday night the committee adj
mitted that there was something in
the air and that in the due course
of time all would be revealed.

AWAITING RADIO LEGISLATION

Among the innumerable Jobs Mr..
Hoover has been called upon to boss
was the regulation Of the radio. The
need Of legislation was apparent.
There grew up a difference of
opinion respecting the source Of 1t.
The House wished to have the con-
troll continued in the Department Of
Commerce: the Senate was disposed
to favor an Independent commission
of i've. One reason for the COM
mission was that a department
might be more susceptible to politi-
cal influences; at least this was
termed a reason but hardly meriting
the term. These conflicting views
became dead-locked In the COM
rnittee of conference and Congress
fastened to pass makeshift resolu-
tions to tide over until December.
The resolution adopted provides
that no licenses for broadcasting
stations shall be issued for longer
than ninety days and no licenses
for any other kind of radio stations
shall be issued for longer than two
years. In view Of the fact that a
recent court decision was to the
effect that the present law regula-
ting lengths is ambiguous this
resolution provides that the appli-
cant for a license must execute a
waiver to any right to any wave
length or to the use of the ether
IN radio transmission because Of
nrevious license to use the same or
because of the use thereof.

AS the little rabbit hoped out of
the last story right into this one,
landing, as / mentioned before, right
on grassy mound covered with
arethusa, the prettiest of orchid
flowers. he saw Tommy Turtle in the
water right at his feet. Just be-
yond him the surface of the water
dimpled with the underswirl of Peter
Pickerels swift moving body as he
chased a minnow. or from quiet
little cove a water-strider denied 1t
into tiny ripples.
Hello" cried the bunny boy,
what are you doing?"
"Just what Granddaddy Bullfrog
is" answered Tommy Turtle, point
ing to a shallow spot. above which
rose big stone.
"Where is hep" asked the little
rabbit.
Fright over there. Don't you see
his head just enough above the top
of the water so that he can breathe.
He's been sitting there in the cool
water for two hours waiting for flies
and gnats to come within reach.'
"Ha, ha," laughed the little bunny,
for the first time seeing the old
gentleman frog, whose pop eyes
above the top of his head were

lost his foothold on a spear of grass
nearby and dropped into the water
With a gulp, Granddaddy Bullfrog
swallowed him, and with solemn
wink at the bunny boy, waited for
another morsel.
Hope the next bug comes my
way" said Teddy Turtle. and before
the words were hardly out of his
mouth, his wish came true. Down
his throat went a big bug that had
come too near for safety. 1t was
large mouthful, and for some time
Teddy Turtle was kept busy grinding
up his hardshelled meal. BY and
by, with a solemn wag of his head,
he pushed himself half way under a
tussock of swamp grass for nap,
and drawing in his hind legs, waved
goodby with his little spiked tail.
Dear. DEAR" sighed the bunny
boy, looking over the watercress
blooms in which buzZed many busy
bees, 81 wonder what will happen
next" and he hoped around the
Old Mill to watch the sunfish in the
pool below the DANA quiet spot,

passed into the Big Blue Ocean. and

E..., Accident Ayerted

/ While on their way to ocean roihe
from Augusta, Saturday, Charies
Murphy and his family were invoiV-
ed in an automobile accident when
might easily have proved fatal to the
several members of the party but
which luckily only resented in minor
bruises and scratches. AS the car,
a WHY'S Knight sedan, owned ana
driven by Mrs. George Andrews OF
Augusta, rounded a curve near WIS
casset Mrs. Andrews lost control ana
the heavy car swung from the road
way into the ditch, turning COM
pletely over and landing with all
four wheels in the air. The oc-
cupants, six in number, forced their
way from the machine and it vas
found that, save for few scratches
suffered by Mrs. Andrews, Mr..
Murphy was the only one OF the
party to be injured. in that several
of his teeth were loosened and a
cut inflicted upon his lip which
necessitated the. taking Of two
stitches. Mrs Murphy had but very
recently left the hospital after SER
Ous operation was fortunate in
escaping entirely any Ill effects OF
the accident. and the whole party
should congratulate themselves that
they escaped death as they did.

ALL THE WAY FROM SPOKANE

Those who linger lovingly over
runic inscriptions are pricking up
their ears concerning a tale from
far-away Spokane that reads some
what like a chapter from Beadle's.
No less an authority than Prof. Olaf
Apsjon, formerly Of Norway but
now searcher for Morse records in
this part of the world, announces
the discovery almost within the city
limits of Spokane Of Inscriptions tell
ing of a battle between a band OF
Norsemen and Indians way back in
1910 A. D.
The story relates that these in
scriptions mark the burial mound
where lie the remains Of those
doughty Norsemen, twelve in all.
killed in battle and buried there.
Prof. Apsjon goes on to interpret
from these inscriptions that a band
Of "a Norsemen, Vikings Of course,
and accompanied by seven women
had made their way clear from the
Atlantic coast; that they engaged
in battle with the Indians over a
spring; that IL were slain and the
others Of the men escaped, only to
return later and leave on a huge
boulder the inscriptions to tell fu-
ture ages of an event In this coun-
try occurring four hundred and
more years before Columbus set
sail.
A very interesting tale, but trust
fellow Socialists to be skeptical, for
that is how science is induced to be
particular. Curator Spinden Of Har-
ward is among the skeptical and he
assumes the story will be greeted
by Psychologists with deepest skep-
ticism." He then proceeds to details
respecting other runic inscriptions
In general, such as the fact that
they do not include dates, also to
the lack of motive for sea-faring
people to make such a long jour-
ney over land. He reminds us that
these discoveries Of runic inscrip-
lions are frequent but the vertical
ton is rare. or words TO that effect
Indeed, the Harvard professor Is In
mood to be shown and he appears
to think that about the only way
this may be done under the circum-
stances is to open the burial mound
and submit the remains to measure
ments for comparison with the
skulls of Norsemen Of that age
Possibly Macmillan will be back
from his quest in Labrador before
the matter is settled. He too, Is
looking for traces of the Norsemen;
meanwhile those interested in runie
Inscriptions have something to talk
about.
