Einar Holboell, the inventor of the
Christmas Seal, could not possibly
have foreseen it's magic health value
today. not only in raising funds to con-
tinue the work, but in carrying to mil
lions OF people every holiday season
the stimulus to guard against disease.
These tiny pieces of paper multiplied
a billion fold, have had an inestimable
part in teaching the public that tuber-
culosis can be prevented can be
cured: The double-barred cross which
each one bears is the emblem of. the
anti-tuberculosis work throughout the
world;
The Christmas seal has carried to
the farthermost, parts of America the
news that people need not die from
tuberculosis. During the period the
seal has been inexistence, the death
rate in this country from the disease
has fallen from 1913 per hundred thou
sand population to S3. saving of over
100000 lives this year.
AS mark of honor. the Danish
Christmas Seal for 1927 will bear the
picture of Einor Holboell

THANKSGIVING DAY

In the United States Thanksgiving
Day is day first set apart by the
Plymouth Pilgrims, in 1921, in ac-
acknowledgement of the first annual
festival appointed by the Governor.
1t was observed religiously by
these people, who were thankful for
the little that came to them after
faithful labor and harsh struggle.
We, as people, today, who have
much, and have it without hard
struggle, should be doubly thankful
but are trife too ,complacent about
it.
The days national celebration in
recognition of the years blessings
was first recommended by prociama-
ton of President Licoln in 1858, and
has since been annually observed,
being regarded as time particular
ly appropriate for family reunions.
Thanksgiving Day is worth pre-
serving if we, as nation, can pre-
serve it's true meaning with it,
recognition of divine favor.

BORAH CALLS ON REPUBLICANS
TO TAKE STAND FOR
: ENFORCEMENT

Senator Borah calls for a show
Town in the next presidential COM
paign on the prohibition question
and law enforcement.
1T is my contention, the Idaho
Republican declared before the New
York Women's Law Enforcement
Committee, that the supreme polit-
cal problem in the United States to-
lay is obedience to law-the integ
ity of the constitutional Govern
ment. M
Il contend that the highest duty
resting upon political party at this
lime is to recognize that fact, meet
openly and courageously, call its
voters and supporters to the contest
and fight it through to the end.
I'VE know from the decisions OF

Inheritance.
I'VE know that our daily press
day by day records series of crimes
both in number and in horror, which
have no precedent or parallel.
1--WE know, if We but stop to re-
fleet, that this spirit OF lawlessness
has come to be the most stupendous
problem of our national life.
I'VE know, too, that this spirit OF
lawiessness has now taken the form
of an utter disregard and defiance of

NEW TAX PROBLEM TO CON-
SLIDER

That the tax question is ever pres
ent and must be considered from
new angles, is illustrated by the de-
mand that is arising in all parts OF
the nation for airports. Apparent
ly, airways are going to become as
important as highways.
>, The. modern automobile would be
useless for practical purposes with
out good roads. The airplane will
be. as impractical without a network
of landing fields and. electric signal
ing devices at night. From all indl-
cations it will cost more to provide
these necessities for air navigation
than it cost to build our highways.
Ehe airpiane' is a coming means OF
transportation, and airports must be
provided just the same as seaports
for our ships.
Undoubtedly the airplanes, like
the automobiles, will be taxed to pro-
vide part of the revenue, but the tax
payers in the various communities
will also be called upon for share
of the expense, the same as in road
building.

Twenty-four years, ago he was Q
young mail clerk in the post office at
Sharlottenlund, working far into the
light on Christmas Eve distributing
holiday greeting cards and letters. He
saw that as rule they would go to
comfortable homes, housing happy,
vigorous families. But he knew, too,
that often to those homes where kind
Christmas wishes and good Christmas
leeds were most needed, there likely
would not come even brief word Of
greeting. An inspiration seized him.
Perhaps by tax on greeting cards
his could be accomplished.
His fertile imagination soon pic
.ured device to encourage the prac-
lice of holiday cards and put a volun-
.ary tax on it, too, and thus in Den
mark was born the idea of the Christ
mas Seal, in 1908.
The first sale in the United States
was in 1907 when Miss Emily P. Bis
sell, of Wilmington, Delaware, adopt
ed the idea to raise funds to maintain
a tuberculosis shack of eight beds on
the banks of the Brandywine, securing
$4,000. She in turn had read maya
zine article by the great philanthro-
pist, Jacob A. Riis, describing the
Danish tuberculosis stamp he had re-
ceived on the back of letter from
the city of his 5irth--Copenhagen.
Miss Bissell next aspired to extend
the work by national campaign, and
interested the American Red Cross.
The first national Christmas Seal Sale
occurred in 1908, and brought in
S135,000. Each year since the sum has
increased just as it has in Denmark.

NATION HAS CAUSE TO RENDER
THANKS

The story of the conquest OF our
great area from it's native wildness
is one of the epics of mans existence.
The richest heritage ever bestowed
upon the human race has fallen to
the American people. They are
trustee for posterity in their employ
ment and administration. T y
have been wasteful and prod1gal,
but are learning and in some re-
spects have learned the lesson OF con-
Servation. Millions of newcomers
have been absorbed and have contri-
buted strength as well as some weak
ness to the body polite. Industry
has marked the decades of this great
development. In many matters
pace has been set for the world in
scinece and in business and in thrift
Cat OF these material activities has
come a cultural advance. Education
has spread until it is now universal.
The standard of living is higher mere
than in any other land.
1t is well then that once a year
the thought of the nation should
turn to it's blessings in gratitude and
thanksgiving. The losses and suf-
ferings that have befallen the people
are the more bravely borne for this
annual consideration of the bounties
and the progress and the happiness
that have marked the year. The ma
tons thanks are the more fervent
for the realization of the sorrows OF
others.-Ex.

THE TREND TOWARD DIsARMA-
MENT
Friends Peace Cnmmittan


English opinion turns again to ma
val disarmament. Lord Robert
Cecil resigned from the British cab
met as protest against what he con-
sidered the reactionary. :, attitude of
the government at the Geneva Con-
ference on Naval Resolutions.
More significant, David Lloyd
George, wartime Prime Minister of
England, is trying to come back po-
litically. The issue that he has
found most promising is disarma-
ment. He has launched himself into
crusade for disarmament
The Daily News, one of the most
important British newspapers, has
recently published collection of
opinions of editors of some OF the
most influential newspapers and
heads of the greatest press associa-
lions in Nhe British Isles. These
show striking unanimity in favor
of radical disarmament.
Commenting editorially on the
question, the Manchester Guardian,
says fi'
ut may be an outraged sense Of
economy, OR the breakdown of the
Naval Conference, or Lord Cecil's
resignation, or the ominous first
steps in ruinous competition of arm
ament building with America, -
whatever the reason there is abun-
dant evidence of a growing conyic-
ton that adherence to the narrow
old fashioned policy of naval defense
would be one of the costliest and
most disastrous blunders this coun
try could make.
why should we insist on building
rs many Slips OF every type that
lmerica builds? What sense is
here in it unless we regard war with
Nmerica as one OF those contlngen-
les against which we must be pre-
pared? There is simply no rational
answer to this question.
''In the event OF war our surest
inc of defense would be prelimi-
larry agreement between ourselves
md other naval powers in which
zach would agree to uphold immuni-
" of sea borne commerce from cap
| ture. But our main and ultimate
security lies in keeping out of war
| altogether $e
Japan has already expressed its
| desire for another conference on
naval reductions in the near future
| Taxpayers in the United States are
| likely to take into account these ex-
pressiens of public opinion in the
two other nations with powerful
navies. The annual campaign for
larger naval expenditures is. begin

TRUTH IT'S UNFAILING
STRENGTH

The press OF America is not in
fallible as to fact or invulnerable as
to bias; but 1t is overwhelmingly
honest in its intent and comment.
There was Judas among the Mas
ter's Twelve; there was an Arnold
in the Revolution; there was Nero
in imperial Rome; there have been
traitors masquerading as editors.
just as there have been fraudulent
bankers and shoemakers and rail
readers and men from every rank OF
life. But generally speaking. what
one reads is usually more true than
what one hears.
The press is inherently truthful;
that is it's unfailing strength.

WILL NOT PUT "GAs" TAX LAW
ONe192S BALLOT

David c. Winebrenner Sd, Secre-
tary of State, on Friday wrote State
Senator Edward J. Colgan. Jr., noti
flying him that the legislative act i'm
posing tax of " cents on gasoline
for the building of lateral roads
would not be referred to the voters
for ratification at the election next
fall, 5rsY
This action on the part of Mr..
Winebrenner constitutes refusal to
act in accordance with petition filed
by Senator Colgan asking for ref
erendum on the tax law and paves
the, way for the opponents OF the
gasoline tax to take court action to
test an opinion Of the Attorney-Gen-
eral holding the act was not legally
referable to the people.
Several months ago Thomas H.
Robinson, Attorney General issued
an informal opinion to John N.
Mackall, chairman OF the State Road
Commission, in which he asserted
that the law could not be placed on
the ballot because it was an act MAX
ing an appropriation, and as such did
not come under the provision OF the
referendum amendment to the State
Constitution.
Mr. Winebrenner based his refus-
al to place the law on the ballot on
lengthy opinion he obtained from
Mr. Robinson on November 10.
This opinion discusses in detail the
reasons why Mr.. Robinson does not
think the law referable.
In requesting the opinion Mr.
Winebrenner told the Attorney Cen
eral that the petition asking the ref
erendum was signed by 5,573 regis
tered voters of Baltimore City and
5,581 registered voters OF the coun-
ties, meeting the provisions of the
State Constitution.
In discussing the question of
whether the law is referable, Mr..
Robinson set forth it's history, mar
rating the recommendation made by
Governor Richie in his message to
the last Legislature and the course
of the bill through the two legisla-
tive houses.
1.-THE questions which l am called
upon to determine have never been
raised in this State,'' Mr.. Robinson
said, cor, SO far as l am able to find,
in the courts of any other State hav-
| ing similar constitutional provision,
and, because of their Importance,
deem it proper to set forth fully the
reasons for my conclusions"
Mr.. Robinson pointed out that
under the provisions of the budget
amendment money must be appropri-
ated before it may be withdrawn
from the State treasury. The chap
ter levying the tax in this case also
specifically authorizes it's use for lat
eral roads.
The maintenance and preservation
of public safety always has been re-
garded as proper exercise of the
police power OF the State and to car
ry on these duties the commission
must have money or otherwise cease
to function, he asserted.
The law increases the States
share Of the cost OF building lateral
roads by $4,000. Previously the
State appropriated $750,o00 from a
bond issue and the counties matched
this sum with an equal amount
Under the gasoline-tax law the State
raises the entire $l,500,000.
