Uncle Sam wasn't just name
then-a silly old name that you
and your bootlegger outsmarted
with every snickering cocktail.
Fifty years ago; 80; even 20,
Uncle Sam was a POWER
AS terrible as thunder in his
wrath
AS swift as lightning in his
ishment!
AS sure as death in his pun

You might fool your mother

When did you first hear that?
Was it the time old 81 Smith
tried to pass that bad dollar
bill-and the quiet stranger
dropped into town and began
asking questions?
You wondered what it was all
about. Why was old Si in
trouble? Wasn't one dollar bill
as good as another?
Then the folks told you about
Washington, about counterfeit
ing, about Federal laws and Fed
eral officers.
It was all so new and amaz-
ing! You had never heard of
counterfeiting, or Federal laws
or officers. You'd hardly heard
of Washington. But swiftly it
took form before your little
mind
That great, protecting "big
father" Force, so wise, so power
full. to terrible if defied!
And suddenly you realized
America! Felt vaguely-with
wonder and terror, with delight
and young, strutting pride what
it meant to be an Americana

Fraud and Trickery

Spiritualism in it's widest
sense goes back beyond the
memory of man. There were
soothsayers in the old Biblical
days. The voodoo doctors of
the Haitian jungleS, the Zulu
witch doctors of Africa and the
fakirs of Hindustan have done
things in the broad daylight, be-
fore the startled eyes of Skepti-
cal white men, for which there
is no accounting on the basis
of cold reason But there has
been so much fraud and trickery
and so many dishonest mediums
that the average person SHES
away from anything which car
ries the brand of spiritualiSm.
Personally, I scarcely see
why it should be necessary to
sit in a. charmed circle and
receive cryptic messages, often
in curiously bad grammar, from
those that have gone on, pro-
vided, that is, that spirits are
permitted in the divine scheme
of things to communicate with
their brothers and sisters held
prisoner by the clay. And yet
l do not utterly disbelieVe, for
flat and dogmatic disbelief is
merely another form Of mtol-
erance. Shakespeares is the
intelligent philosophy: There
are more things in heaven and
earth, Horatio"-
And there is too much testl'
mony from sincerely sensible
people to permit ones mind to
close like a clam shell against
any beliefs in the supernatural.
Man has learned a lot in the
last 70 or 80 centuries; but he
has drifted a long way from
the heart of nature, and from
the forces behind and perhaps
above nature. And down
through the long ages many
things have been lost, many
bits of knowledge, many Sc
crets which we shall never
know again.

To the common sense and TO
the power of vision OF DR.. SUI
zallo more than to anyone else
is due the recommendation OF
the National Advisory Commit
tee on Education that a De-
partment of Education with a
Secretary of Education at the
head be established in the Fed
eral Government.
Under this plan, the Secre,
tary of Education would aid
the President, the heads OF de-
partments and Congress in the
consideration of educational
problems. He would plan ana
organize a national research
and information service OF the
Department in such manner
that all phases of the work
would contribute constructive
ly to development of the lead
ership which American educa-
ton needs for its coordination
and intelligent advance"
The Department of Educa-
ton recommended by the com
mittee of which DR.. SuzzalIo
was "the guide, philosopher
and friend" would have no
legal or financial power to con,
troll the social purposes and
specific processes of education.
Its mission would be to dittuSe
information respecting the or.
ganization and management OF
schools and school systems,
and methods Of teaching, as
shall aid the people OF the
United States in the establish
men and maintenance of ettl,
cient school systems and Will
promote the cause of education
throughout the country"
Education will be placed
upon an equality, one of these
days. with Commerce and La
Dor in the cabinet o the PresI-
dent. It will then be given an
appropriate home in the Fed
eral city.
And high on the walls of this
new building will be tablet to

CURRENCY INITIATION MOVES

According to canvass made by
Senator Thomas, Democrat, CT Okla
homa, Congress, when it's meets next
January, will make an insistent de-
mand for currency imitation suffici-
ent to bring prices of farm products
up to decent parity. The clamor
for imitation has grown louder as the
weeks have passed by and the pur-
chasing power of the farmers has
failed to rise as expected. Farmers
have even threatened to upset the
government if imitation is. not
adopted.
Stocks have taken jumps just on
the chance that imitation was coming
and then they have slumpe! when
it looked as if it was going to be
postponed. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace and other high admin
istration officials have shown their
opposition. to outright money infia-
ton, as a cure for our troubles.
President Roosevelt has made it
clear that he intends to make use of
other remedies for stimulating pric-
es first and that he will fall back on
imitation only as last resort. The
leaders seem to feel that if The ma
ton once began issuing printing
press money" prices would gu kiting
and the farmers and others who
need help most would still be with
out enough money to buy things,
just as has happened in other
countries that have tried this plan.
Many indirect methods are now at
work which are designed to get mon
ey more rapidly into the hands of the
people and thus build up the pur-
chasing power from the bottom.
The bankers have not been doing
their part but they loosened up a
little since the Pesident warned
them they must be more liberal in
granting loans to concerns which
need accommodation, This is in
direct imitation, for it forces money
into circulation.
Another means of loosening up
credits will be available when the
government bank deposit insurance
plan goes into effect Jan. 1, for this
will release lot of frozen assets
and allow all sound banks to reopen.

FARMERS WARNED NOT TO AS
SIGN WHEAT PAYMENTS

Officials of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration have warn
ed farmers against ( signing agree
ments assigning their wheat adjust
ment payment checks to creditors or
other parties in violation of their
contracts.
The Administration warning was
issued as a result of word that cred
itors of farmers in some states are
seeking to get farmers to agree to
such assignments.
1.-The purpose of the wheat ad-
justment payment is to put addition
al purchasing power into the hands
of the farmer for him to u.s. at his
discretion-not merely to have him
assign his adjustment payment to
the first creditor who reoches him, 3"
George E. Farrell, associate chief of
the wheat section, said.
To protect farmers against such
practices, the wheat allotment con-
tract in Article 16 specifically for
bids the contracting farmer to as
sign his payments, as follows: The
producer will not sell or assign, in
whole or in part, this contlact or
his right to or for adjustment pay
ments under this contract, and will
not execute any power or attorney to
collect such adjustment payments or
to order that any such payments be
made. Any such sale, assignment,
order, or power of attorney shall be
null and void.
THE answer of any farmer to a
creditor who asks that the adjust
ment payment check be assigned to
him, is that such action is impossible
under Article 6 of the contract, :"

DECLARE INTENTION

On November 6, 1894, an election
of great Importance will be held,
but unless they take prompt action
many new residents of the county
will be ineligible to cast ballots.
This refers to those persons who
have moved into the county from
other States, but have failed to de-
clare their intention to become citi-
zens of Maryland.
Next year, in the State, a United
States Senator, Governor, Attorney
General, Comptrolled of the Treas
ury and Clerk of the Court of APP
peals are to be elected.
In the First Congressional Dis
trict, of which Cecil County is a
part, a Representative in Congress
is to be chosen.
In the First Judicial Circuit, of
which Cecil County is also part, a
Chief Judge and an Associate Judge
are to be named, each to serve a fif-
teen year term.
In Cecil County full slocal ticket
of officials is to be voted on--Clerk
of the Court, Register of Wills,
Sheriff, Senator, three members of
the House of Delegates, States At
torney, three County Commissioners,
three Judges of the Orphans Court,
County Treasurer and Assistant
County Treasurer.
If you wish to have voice in the
selection of these officials, and have
moved here from another State, go
to the Office of the Clerk of the
Court in Elkton before November 6
and declare your intention to be-
come resident of Maryland. 1t
will cost you nothing and take only
few minutes of your time.

the Declaration of Intention Act"
requiring new residents of the State
officially to give notice Of their de-
string to become Maryland citizens
at least one year before they are
