DARNABAS rode stopped low in
ID the saddle. his watchful eyes
scanning the road ahead, a glim-
mering track bOrdered by flying
hedges. and trees that, looming
ghost-like in the dusk, fitted past
and, like ghosts, were gone again.
on swept the great, black horse,
past fragrant rick and misty pool,
past running rills that gurgled in
the shadows, by wayside inns whence
came the sound of voices and
laughter with snatches of song, all
quickly lost again in the rolling
thunder Of those tireless, galloping
hoofs. Thus, in a while, Barnabas
saw more lights before him that,
clustering together, seemed to hang
suspended in mid-air, and, with his
frowning gaze upon these cluster
ing lights. he rode up that long,
trying hill that leads into the
ancient township Of SevenOaks.
At the further end of the town he
turned aside and. riding into the
yard of the Castle Inn. called for
ale and, while he drank, stood by
to watch the kissing Ostlers as they
rubbed down The Terror and gave
him sparingly Of water. So, into
the saddle again and. bearing to the
right. off and away for TOnbridge.
Lifting his gaze to the heavens.
he saw a great, black cloud that
grew and spread from east to west,
putting out the stars.
Now, with the gathering cloud
came sudden fear to clutch at his
heart with icy fingers, shivering
dread lest. after all. he be too late.
Suddenly. as they topped River
Hin, out of the murk ahead there
met him a puff of wind, hot wind
that came and so was gone again,
but far away beyond the distant
horizon to his left, the sombre hea-
ven was split and rent asunder by
a jagged lightning flash.
And now came the wind again,
and in the wind was rain, a few
pattering drops, while the lightning
famed and quivered upon the hOri-
zOn, and the thunder rolled ever
louder and more near.
Came a sudden, binding flame,
that seemed to CraCkle in the air
near by, a stunning thunder-clap
shaking the very armament, and
thereafter an aching blacknesS, up
on whose started silence burst the
rama sudden, kissing downpour.

GO, at last, amidst rain, and wind,

Away, away, down empty street,
over rumblng bridge and so, bearing
to the left, on and up the long hill

Gradually the rain ceased, the
wind died utterly away, the stars
peeped out again. And now, upon
the quiet, came the small, soft
sound of trickling water, while the

fold increase Of the state police de-
partment.
Repeating the stand taken by The
indianapolis Times, the association
stated:
The crime wave that is sweep
ing the country is more than deplor-
able. Our state highway police de-
partment is woefully handicapped
from the standpoint of numbers
and equipment and in this condition
can not be expected to cope with
the situation.
This department should be re-
moved from politics, placed under
a merit system and sufficiently en-
larged and equipped as to be wholly
and completely effective.
Our state should have an ade-
quate highway patrol with clearly
defined duties. This patrol should

Delaware; Goldsborough OF Mary

recommended late last year by the
Chief of Army Engineers Markham.
The project would cost $4,000. 900.

MILLIONS IN TAXES LOST THRU
LEAK

What might be called the Della
ware Incorporation Rachel is being
exposed before the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee by the
questions of Mr.. Ferdinand Pecora,
it's counsel.
It is a racket only in name, for 1t
is strictly legal. 1t is not carried on
by seedy underworld characters, but
by respectable multimililonaire cor
porations. 1t is just as ethical as is
eluding taxation by buying tax
exempt bonds.
In brief, it is device for avoiding
the responsibilities, burdens, super
vision and occasionally taxea of the
locality in which the business is OPP
Grated by incorporating under the
loose laws of the State of Delaware,
which makes lucrative profit out
of farming out liberal charters to
big corporations, just as certain
western states find it profitable to Of
Ter loose divorce laws in conjunc-
lion with their hotel business.

ct is no new thing, Mr.. Pecora has
brought out. Big corporations all
over the country, the evidence shows

The looseness Of their Delaware in
corporation papers. In fact all the
recent big new corporations of the
United States Government, the RFC

Behind the scenes, many senators
are anxious to stir up public opinion
on this problem, but it is not yet
clear exactly what reforming steps
can be taken.3 AS in the issuance of
lax-exempt bonds authority is vested
in the state themselves, and Con-
gress can take no action. But with
The spotlight Of aroused opinion

may emerge.

President Roosevelt's monetary
bill, known as the Gold Reserve Act
of 1894, was passed by the House of
Representatives Saturday by a vote
of $50 to 40.
Only two of the forty negative
votes were cast by Democrats, while
sixty-eight Republicans and five
Farmer Laborites were among those
voting for the bill.
The bill as passed follows closely
the Administration draft which was
sent to Congress along with the
Presidents message ON the same
subject and provides for the taking
over by the National Treasury of the
gold held by the Federal Reserve
banks, sets up a stabilazation fund
of $4,000, 100000 to be operated by
the Secretary of the Treasury and
directs that in reducing the gold
value of the dollar the President
shall set the value at some point be-
tween fifty and sixty per cent of its
present value.

THE MARCH OF PUBLIC EDU-
CATION

Beginning in earnest about 1910,
the principle of public education,
supported by taxation, has spread,
in theory at least, to nearly all the
countries of the world-Abyssinia,
Arabia, Bhutan, Monaco and Nepal
are the possible exceptions Even
Abyssinia and Nepal use some public
moneys for education.
The ever present problem in pub
| lie education has been to cbviate the
teaching of religious dogma in pubs
| lie schools, also the diversion of pub
lie moneys to private and non-secu-
lar schools under one pretext or
another
Historically, the old schools Of
the Greek democracy were more
civic than religious, while the
schools in other parts of europe,
during the Middle Ages especially,
were definitely religious in their
program. The first free schools in
the area of what is now the United
States, authorized by the Old Delud-
er Law of 1647, to a considerable
extent were religious in their OBJ
jectives but supported more os civic
enterprises. Early New England
school childre nfrequently were
taught by the ministers.
The Church, throughout the ages,
has fostered education to a CT nsider-
able extent, but has, many times,
centered on a rather narrow educa-
tional program and has been credit
ed Cor discredited) with promulgat-
ing superstition and religious
dogma.
During practically all of our his
tory free schools in the United
States have been comparatively free
from Church control. In fact, the
separation of Church and State,
with education as function pri-
marily of the state, is fundamental
American doctrine.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

Governor Pinchot, of Pennsyl-

Under the legislation the State of

Welfare through the mothers assist

This is worthy Of signing. II is
one Of the finest pieces of social leg
islation. What this bill means is
that thousands of the aged who
might have been miserable will now
be happy"

panies has been one Of the signifl-
cant developments of the past dec
ade. We are all familiar with the
mutual fire insurance, automobile
insurance and life insurance com
panies that have been the outgrowth
of farmers organized efforts. We
can expect that movement to grow.
Insurance has always been a
profitable business. We can expect
considerable resistance to the
growth of farmers mutuals, but it
is part of the program. 1t will con-
ltinue.
Interest rates for farmers have
always been too high. A farmer
cannot afford to hire money at a
higher rate of interest than other
businesses and we continually hear
agitation for lower interest. Yet
the nature of the farmers business
had made it impossible fo~ banks
to loan at lower rates. The intro
duction of the small loan" banker
with abnormal rate of interest in
rural sections is sad thing for
farmers since they cannot possibly
hire money at such rates. Perhaps
the present program of the Farm
Credit Administration may be a
step insthat direction but as yet. it
hasen't proven it.
