THE INAUGURAL

A very simple program for his in
augural was what President-elect
Hoover left instructions for when he
sailed away on the man-'o-war Mary
land last November.
The ceremony planned for him, in
his absence, includes the gaudiest
parade in the whole history of inau-
gural events, with trimmings in pro-
portion, winding up with ball of I'M
precedented magnificance.
That Mr.. Hoover will submit to the
blowout arranged for him-little as
he may like carnival of fuss-and-
feathers-is practically certain. 1t
would be impossible for him to veto
it without causing a great deal of
hard feeling-an inauspicious begin
ming for his administration.
The truth is that what the new
president wants weighs lightly against
the inauguration manufacturers de-
subsequently, when he was seven
thousand miles away while they were
connecting their schedule. There was
a lot of talk, at the outset, concerning
the simplicity which must character
ize the coming Inauguration, but no.
body meant word of it. Bit by bit
feature was superimposed upon fea-
ture until various committees on man
agement had turned out just the ar
ticle they originally were bent on.
Washington itself always clamors
for a regular quadrennial cornation.
The capital, of all cities in the coun-
try, is geared up to make money from
big crowds of tourists. Inaugural
ton day brings such crowds of course,
and the bigger they are, the bigger
the rakeoff.
Moreover, it is astonishing how
many folks fairly revel in parading
past a presidential reviewing stand
and congratulating themselves on
playing their part in historic cocoa
sion"-governors of states, members
of their stats, army and navy Off
GERS, assorted politicians, prominent
citizens" from hither and yon-all
sorts of people who, it might seem
reasonable to suppose, would have
outgrown such childishness.
AS for the inaugural ball, the soci-
ETY. and official "sets" simply are
crazy about it. The men, if anything,
are more so than the women. The lat
ter have reasonably frequent opportu-
mites to wear their gladdest of glad
rags anyway. Those of the sterner
sex with gorgeous full dress uniforms
gold lace, plumed hats and clanking
cutlery-are less often privileged to
appear in all their splendor. The in
augural ball gives them their chance
and how they love it!
With all these influences at work,
the pressure for a rip-snorting pag-
cant at these four-yearly- intervals is
tremendous. n
The essence of the whole thing is
to have the president and the first
lady themselves on the job. The pa
rade is no good minus the president
to view it. The ball is a frost unless
the president and his consort are in
attendance.

Mr.. Charles II. Shaffer, Former Gar
rett COuntian, Sails Away to the
Canal Zone, Visiting Interesting
Points en- Route, Among Which was
Porte au Prince, Where They Have
No Sunday Laws or Eighteenth
Amendment.
To the Editor of The Republican.
On December 18th, in company with
Mr.. G. B. Coffin, of Washington, I
sailed from New York on the steamer
Cristobal for Panama We left in the
night and the next morning when we
awoke we found the sea like a mill
pond, and this condition existed all the
way down. Besides the crew, we car
ried about ITS passengers, most of
them being Canal employees returning
from vacation. Children were every
where and one little cherub would
every now and then do cartwheels on
the deck for the entertainment of
those about. We had also seven Con-
gressmen and their families and a
number of engineers going to the Ca
nal Zone to do some road work.
The fifth morning out we reached
Port au Prince, Haiti, a seaport of
about $4,000, all very black. Every
body seemed anxious to get ashore
and most of the passengers did leave
the ship for the day. 1t was Sunday,
but they have no Sunday closing law
and they have no Eighteenth Amend
ment, all of which was very evident as
the passengers returned loaded down
with various purchases. AS a rule
they carried their liquor well for there
was no disorder that night aboard the
vessel. Usually it is otherwise on the
night after leaving Haiti.
My friend and l were fortunate in
that we were met by an old friend,
planter on the island who took us in
to the hills to a point about 1,500 feet
above the sea, where the view was
grand and the air was cool and pleas
ant. We returned to his home for
dinner and made our first acquain-
tance with fried plantain and other
tropical dishes. AS l was returning
to the ship I was stopped by youth
full engineer to change a bill so he
could pay for his purchases which a
half dozen natives were carrying.
Just what he was going to do with
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-01-10

popularizing the knowledge they pos
sess. They are beginning to speak in
plain English a little more and in
their own particular jargon little
less. Philosophy, history, science and
other subjects which used to be re-
served for the savants are now made
open books for laymen, not in patron
izing ways, but straightforwardly and
simply.
These two things are perhaps the
most hopeful developments in the
contemporary cultural life in this
country.

Jersey, spent one night last week at
Mr.. S. w. Slabach's home here.
Miss Bertha Lechnor, of Aurora, is
at the Petersheim home at present.
Mrs. Roy Lee and son Boyd and
Miss Bertha Lee spent Friday after
noon at j. c. Petersheim's.
Following are those making perfect
attendance in the Union Sunday
school at this place the past quarter:
P. P. Gortner, S. w. Slabach Albert
Sisk, Willard and Merle Swartzentru-

lein.
Mr.. S. W. Slabach, Mrs VIM. E.
Spoelein and son Earle were present
every Sunday during the year 1928.
Miss Ida Martin is home from Nor
gantown.
Mr.. Joseph Martin spent Sunday
with Mrs. Martin in Cumberland in
which city she is patient in West
ern Maryland Hospital to which insti-
tuition she was taken following the de
velopment of blood poisoning in her
hand caused by the puncture made by
a darning needle several days before.
Mrs. Martins condition is now some
what improved.
Messrs. B. H. Yoder and Jacob Pet
ersheim returned home from Lancas-
ter, Pa, on Friday night.

POPULARIZED LEARNING

1t is worthy of note that during the
closing week of 1928, 5000 scientists
met in New York; the nations histor-
ical and political scientists met in In
dianapolis; the specialists in litera-
ture and language met in Toronto;
the nations music teachers met in
Cleveland. There were conventions
of educators in many places.
The interesting fact about these
meetings is that the public at large
now shows genuine interest in the dis
cussions and papers presented by the
speakers. There are at least two rea-
sons for this. One is that the public
education level has been going up in
recent years. There are more pupils
in the elementary and secondary
schools, more students in colleges, I'M
iversities and technical schools. More
adults who were deprived of educa-
tional advantages in their yourth are
now attending night schools and seek
ing book learning from every availa-
BILE source, Naturally all these peo-
pie are paying more or less attention
to the things the leaders in their spe-
cial fields of interest are doing and
talking about.
The other reason is that the organi-
cations referred to have come down
quite distance from the rarifed at
mosphere in which they formerly con-
Quoted their learned discussions and
have begun to take real interest in

THE NEXT WAR

A naval officer of the United States
says, "The next war between big pow
ers will be over fifteen minutes after
the fighting fleets come within range
of one another"
He explains that the improvements
in explosives, guns, gunnery and air.
plane sporting" that have been devel-
oped since the battle of Jutland are
so important that they will make the
| next great naval battle short and
thoroughly decisive.
But there is something that bids
fair to be more decisive than big guns
and fighting ships. 1t is so deadly
that it can wipe out whole armies
in few minutes. Whole armies or
whole cities, as you will. The scien-
fist who talks about this new killing
agency explains that it is very cheap
and easy to make, and that any ma
ton can make and use it in great
quantities in a very short time.
Then the Supplemented scientist
adds that he doesn't believe any ma
ton would really make use of it ex-
cept in dire emergency, since it
would be so easy, once the thing came
into use, to wipe out nations and
races.
Of course they'll use it! Can you
imagine this country, for instance,
engaged in war to end wars or to
establish freedom of the seas, and
failing to use any deadly weapon
within its reach? Can you imagine
the roar that would go up from the
parents of the boys at the front if our
| secretary of war should refuse to
authorize the use of a weapon that
might end the war overnight?
Furthermore, our public officials
know their jobs just we'll enough to
realize that they'd better not run the
risk of being caught mapping when
the next war comes. They'll have
plenty of deadly gas, and some even
more deadly, stored and ready to re-
lease upon the big cities in the enemy
country. The next war may be over
before it is formally declared, for the
nation that beats the others to the
big cities of the enemy will have the
war won out of hand. The polite Gus
tom of formally declaring war will be
/ abandoned for safety's sake, and the
gas will be sent swooping down upon
the enemy's cities before he has time
to realize that he is actually engaged
in war. When politeness and self
preservation clash, in the policy of
nations, politeness always goes by the
board.
Yes, it's going to be rather tough
war, with very little time wasted in
preliminary exchange of courtesies.

THE CONTROL OF CRIME

What the criminal law needs i;
not teeth but brains" says William J.
Donovan, former Assistant General OF
the United States, mot the mental
activity of a specially appointed COM
mission of lawyers; but the concen-
tration of the public brains.
The criminal is alien only mentally
and morally. He is not a denizen OF
