The Road Ahead

The good man maps his course ahead
and follows II with steady tread, con-
WINGED that it's the proper way. he
sticks to it from day to day perhaps 1t
leads DER stony ground, or there are
brambles all around, and peradventure
he must romp through dismal fen and
noisome swamp; but If he knows the
way is right he doesn't leave it. day
or night Some men will say. You're
going strong. but your directions wildly
wrong. the course YOU take will lead
you in the way of pitfall, snare and
gin. and boeies there in ambush lie
10 get your goat as you go by. This
side road leads 20 pleasant glades where
you may rest in dreamy shades. TO
haunts of pleasure. bright and gay
where you may drop your cares and
play, to hammocks by a crystal stream
where lotus eaters ioll and dream oh
come. sad pilgrim. come along to haunts
Of gayety and song" The good man
may be tempted much. he Is so lame
he needs crutch; the road ahead
looks bleak and dark, and wildcats
scream and dingoes bark, the sullen
clouds obscure the sky and threaten
torrents by and by. But, being good
he waves aside the jewellers who'd be
his guide tostheir corrupt though bright
abode. away from his appointed road
He girds his loins and grasps his staff
and mutters that he'll stand the gaff
he'll reach his goal or break a limb
and struggles on with courage grim
And though his troubles never cease,
his soul Is full Of calm and peace: hes
doing what he knows Is right. and this
impsrts keen delight a full reward
for all the voc that he has known or
yet may know. WALT MASON.

Report.
special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special OlSpatcn 10 Inc 0Iar.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November 21.-
Hearing was held before Judge Robert
B. Peter of Circuit Court today on
petition of the Independent Publishing
Co., asking that portions of the grand
jury report of yesterday referreing to
the Independent, a weekly publication,
be stricken out. Harold G. Smith, at
torney for the company, argued that
the grand jury report contained what
amounted to a public indictment OF the
editor of the independent, without CIV
ing him the right to hearing, and cited
case in which such action was held
to be illegal. Judge Peter said he real
lied the Importance of the matter and
would give a decision soon.
Editor Disputes Jurors.
Morris A. Bealle, editor Of the indie
pendent, gave the following statement
to a reporter of The Evening Star, fol-
lowing the hearing on his petition, ana
asked that it be published:
Morris A. Bealle, editor OF the IN
dependent, denied categoriaclly the
charges of the grand jury in its report
and also denied that the jury investi-
gated any other charges. He said ne
was called before them and asked who
was stealing from the county till, ana
replied that he had charged no one
with such a crime. He declared MS
charges had been mismanagement,
waste and the laying down OF roads
and public improvements for political
purposes rather than for public neceS-
sity."
Pastor Makes Denial.
Rev. H. II. Nichol, Baptist pastor OF
Kensington and Cedar Grove, yesterday
denied charges contained in the 1nde-
pendents report of sermon he de-
livered which resulted in his being sum-
moned before the grand jury Monday.
He made no attack Whatever on ON
cials or politicians of the county, he
said.
He preached only temperance
sermon on the night referred to, he said
and was incorrectly reported in the
Independent. He said he attacked nc
one except the bootleggers of the county
and denied having attacked the county
officials as "the courthouse gang" OF
having attacked any individual OF
| county leader. He also denied any at
| tack on Maj E. Brooke Lee, Democratic
| county leader and Speaker of the Mary

numerous occasions, had told members

various Protestant ministers that Lee

HARRIS IS UPHELD
IN BRICK PROTEST
Efficiency Bureaus Report
ExonerateS Architect of
FaVOritiSm.

Chairman Gibson Of the subcommit-
tee of the House District committee,
which is making a survey of the
administration, today received
a report from the Bureau of Efficiency
exonerating A. l.. Harris, the municipal
architect, from the charges of favorit-
ism and discrimination in brick pur-
chases, made by Henry Stringer, vice
president of the Hydraulic Press Brick
Co., on which extensive hearings were
held by the Gibson subcommittee during
the last session OF Congress.
The Bureau of Efficiency report
recommends a more systematic effort
should be made to use Occoquan brick.
such of these brick as are needed for
facing purposes should be carefully
manufactured. aid handled for this
specific purpose" the report says.
The other conclusions reached by the
bureau are as follows:
"There is no evidence of any diScrim-
ination by the municipal architect
against the products Of the Hydraulic
Press Brick Co.
"There is no evidence that the mu-
n1c1pal arcn1GeCC mas favored any par
ticular company when making awards
for face brick.
"The municipal architect appears to
be justified in refusing to use Wash
ington colonial face brick in the type
OF architecture now prevailing for
schools in the District of Columbia.
Written Reports Urged.
"The municipal architect should be
required to approve or reject in writing
any and all materials which are pur-
chased on sample or where the element
of artistic merit, color or other inde-
scribable quality is involved and which
are submitted to him for use in a par
ticular building. He should do this
both at the time the specifications are
prepared and after the bids are re-
ceived. He should also be required to
set forth In the specifications for the
particular job, when purchasing on
sample, the trade name of all materials
which have been approved by him as
acceptable for that job. He will also, OF
course, indicate in the specifications
that other materials equal to those
named will be acceptable. In no other
way can full and complete competition
be secured"

American agriculture Is by its very
nature ruling element in international
trade" said DR.. Butler. Its export
able surplus must find reasonably
quick market at fair price. and it must
be assured of safe and speedy trans
portation both by land and oversea.
All this must necessarily be wanting
when there is fear of.war. The renun-

forward that civilization has ever taken

TIME PASSES QUICKLY.
Crew of Flagship Begrudge Day Lost
Crossing Date Line.

BY DIR. FRANCIS D. CONAN.
By wireless to The Star and New York Times.
WITH THE BYRD SOUTH POLE
EXPEDITION, aboard the City OF New
York, November 21.--The last "a hours
have passed quickly on the flagship
City of New York, so quickly, in fact,
that although we sat down to dinner
on Tuesday noon and had no food till
Wednesday afternoon, none OF us
seemed to mind it except the cabin
steward, Dick Konter, who pulled
few "wise cracks" about having to keep
the food warm all that time.
However, Tuesday having dawned a
bit cold and wet, no one begrudged the
loss Of such day, for Wednesday after
noon is bright and clear. Teddy Bayer
claims he heard the ships bottom
scrape across the date line but the rest
of us believe it was only the captains
snoring.
Joe Rucker, one of the assistant
navigators, held forth at length con-
corning the loss Of day at the 180th
meridian saying:
"It's a good blooming thing it gives
a fellow an extra days ration of smokes,
figuring on a weekly basis. OF course,
we lost a days eating and sleeping,
but the quicker the days pass the
better.
'Tom Muloy is peeved because it
makes two Sundays come so close to-
gether, but he will get his day back
again If he lives to cross the date line
going home No telling how long that
will be, though.
"At any rate, on the basis of time
at Greenwich, we have passed out OF
their Tuesday, the goth, into Wednes-
day, the 21st, by passing from a point
nearer Greenwich measuring toward
the west to a position nearer Green
wich measuring toward the east.
"Since the day starts in the east and
proceeds toward the west, we have
gradually lost time in sailing west from
New York until, at rate of four
minutes for every degree of longitude,
we have lost enough to bring us into
the afternoon of new day before we
had spent all of the day we started with
this morning. And the converse is true
when conditions are vice versa, and a
day is gained Cor lost). hope that
is clear"
"Clear as mud" said most of us,
"but it is o. K. if you say so. Anyway,
it's good there are no births or mar
riages or deaths or birthdays to COM
plicate things further, Us poor sea-
faring men have enough on our minds
without having to understand all such
stuff. Here it is Wednesday afternoon,
and not a bit of sleep since Monday
night"
