An APOSTLE OF CANCELLATION

One of the principal thoughts sug'
gested by the career of Abraham
Lincoln, whose birthday is celebrat-
ed February 18th. was his lack OF
vindictiveness and spirit of concilia-
tion. If he could have survived
through the reconstruction period
following the War between the
States. many of the calamities Of
that stormy time would have been
avoided.
It is one of the worst features of
war, that the victOrs have dis
position to rub it in" This has
been manifested in practically all
wars. The victOrs feel so embitter-
ed by their losses and suffering, that
they forget the sentiments of mag
nanimity which are necessary in
order to heal the raw wounds of war.
Abraham Lincoln did not favor
any such policy. If his life could !
have been continued. he would have |
supported every measure Of recon-
ciliatlOn that would have brought |
the warning states close together.
That spirit of magnanimily was
very much needed after the World
War. The allied nations of Europe
imposed such severe terms on the
defeated powers. that hatred ten
ded to grow instead of soften. AS a
result, the German republic. which
had promised to lead. the nations in
the way of peace and friendship was
OVerthrown, and no one can say
what conflict Will break forth as the
result Of these harsh policies.
We need the spirit of Cancellation
and magnanimity in all our present 4
relations. We need more Lincolns
among us, leaders who will try to
adjust quarrels. instead of fighting
them TO the bitter end.
When the nation is led in that {
spirit, there will be very little dan I
ger of wars, industrial and sectional
Onficts will subside, and the world d
7ill take long steps toward univer- n
al brotherhood. 1t

THE cnEr nF LIYING

The cost Of living is being studied
in nationwide survey undertaken
| by the U. S. Department of Labor,
istatistics ordinarily are dry and
| dusty things, TO which the average
person pays little attention. But the
cost Of living touches every family
at point where it feels the hurt
very keenly.
It is an unfortunate fact that peo-
pies incomes don't seem to go UP
as their living costs do. When you
pay more money someone must get
it. But the people who live on fixed
salaries or wages usually find that
it takes a good while after living
costs go up. to boost their pay to
the same degree.
1t is. essential that the scale Of
prices be kept as stable as possible.
When something happens TO throw
it out of balance, a multitude Of peo-
pie suffer distress until the situation
is adjusted.
The cost of living is capable of
becoming a dominating political is
sue. In the World War period, liv- |
ing costs kept going up and up. and |
million sof people were squeezed [
between fixed incomes on one side
and rising costs on the other. Poll
ticians and parties proposed reme-
lies. and glowing promises of relief
we're offered. But those situations
ire usually too deep to he regulated
~ political interference.
When the factories are all run
ling and the unemployed find work. !
hen the demand for goods is so I
mple that prices rise. and it is i
ard to get them down. Then when +
usiness is stack and people are un- h
mplOyed. living costs tend to drop.
'e depend upon the force of COM +,
etltiOn to keep prices within rea- il
On. When prices are too high. en- h
,rprising people should be willing n
} sell for a more reasonable figure ii
order to get business. O.

THE WORLD COURT

There is a sharp difference OF
opinion as to whether the United
States Senate acted wisely in refus-
ing American adherence to the World
Court. One view has. it that this
court helps to settle quarrels that
might start war. and the United
States should help on such a use
ful agency. The opposite opinion
holds that the United States should
not mingle in the affairs OF Europe,
and should devote itself exclusively
10 the solving of its own problems.
Whichever view people may take,

THE FORCE BEHIND PROGRESS

There is mental force in the hu-
man mind that produces gains, and
the lack of that force leads to losses.
II an army loses its courage, it re-
treats and loses ground. So in the
life of a community, We need a GER
tain mental force at work. giving
people courage to show enterprise.
push business. and obtain advant-
ages.
If people lack courage about the
future of their community, they will
lack the faith to spend money. en-
ploy labor, and provide the benefits
OF civilization. 1t is very important
then whether the people OF a town
take a hopeful attitude or not. II
they throw up their hands and say
that their town is a dead one, it will
be dead. If they say I'VE have a
good town." they encourage their |
'ellow citizens to take hold and make |
{ better.

American people will not again send
any armies into Europe. II those
nations can't settle their own prob

VIRGINIA CUTS
: POWER RATES

RICHMOND, Va, March 21.
The Virginia State corporation
commission has directed the
Northern Virginia Power Com
pany to reduce rates for it's resi-
Dental and commercial consum-
ers, effective April l.
The commission said the re-
ductions would save the consum-
ers in four northern Virginia
counties and the city of WincheS-
ter approximately $4,000 year.
In some instances the reductions
amount to 20 per cent.
The commission Simplified the
rate schedule of the company for
residential service by eliminating
the room basis Of computing do
mestic rates.
In Winchester the new rates
fix the top step at 61a cents per
kilowatt hour, as against q top
under the present rates Of 7.6
cents. In the smaller towns, in
cluding Berryville, Stephens City
and Middletown, the top step will
be 7 cents, as against the present
rate Of 7.6 cents.

"Our department tried hours

year, largely for the same rea-

objection to them but they
aided our workers in avoiding

Edgar Young, director of the

the 45-minute range of staggering

"It certainly should help traf.

SCHOOL BOARD
PROBES RED
PROPAGANDA

Each member Of the local
Board of Education was ap-
pointed today an individual judge
and jury to pass upon the ale
cation that WaShington'S school
children are the objects Of Soviet
propaganda.
Acting upon charges made
principally by Gen. Amos A.
Fries, once chief Of the Chemical
Warfare Service, DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools,
brought to the attention Of the
board members yesterday a con-
densed digest Of current events
entitled my weekly Reader" :"
which is widely circulated in
schools Of the District and Of the
country.
Article Criticized
The article to which offense
was taken appeared at about the
same time that this country rec
ognized Russia. and was cap
toned "Shal We Be Friends Of
Russia?"
There are several editions Of
each issue, Mr.. Ba1lou explained,
and the article on Russia ap-
peared in the number which was
distributed among pupils Of the
higher grades Of the elementary
schools.
win Study Publication
On cursory examination, the
members Of the Board Of Educa-
ton seemed Of the opinion that
the article contained nothing
dangerous to the morals or patri-
otism of the local school children.
On motion, however, it was de-
cided to give the board an op'
portunity to examine individually
the piece in question and to look
into the complete setup Of the
news publication.

COUNTY. To END
REL|EE,FUNDS
EXHAUSTED

ROCKVILLE, Nd, March 81.
Nearly TOO Montgomery county
residents who are employed on the
county'S emergency work relief
projects will be dropped from the
payroll after today due to a lack
of funds to continue operation OF
the projects, it was announced to-
day by Stephen Cromwell. director
or the county Emergency Work
Administration.
This statement from Mr.. Cron-
well came early today following
the receipt Of a telegram yester.
day from Harry Greenstein, State
relief administrator, inStructing
all county relief agencies, who de-
pend upon the State for funds, to
contract no more debts than they
have funds on hand to care for,
as no more allotmentS can be
made to the counties by his de-
partment until after some action
is taken by the State legislature
upon the pending bill concerning
appropriations for State relief
work.
In addition to this, nearly 400
families throughout the county,
who depend upon the county
welfare board for direct relief,
will be suspended from the relief
rolls after Saturday, Miss Dor
othy Everson. director of the
county welfare board, said today.
Although many counties through
the State have already halted re-
lief work, officials Of the Mont
gomery County Welfare Board
said today that. due to a great
increase in the number of fam
lilies on the relief rolls and a lack
of new applications being re-
ceived for relief, they have enough
funds on hand from their last
allotment to carry them through
this week. But the amount of
direct relief will have to be cur
tailed.

3 Yield Pants
and Cash to
Gunman

A pants robber made his ap-
pearance in the District early
today, much to the discomfort
of three victims. Aside from
the embarrassment of losing
their trousers, the victims con-
tributed $88 to the gunman.
Entering filling station at
Seventh Street and Rhode
Island Avenue Northwest, the
robber ordered Jesse r. Thomas,
the manager, and Luther Smith,
a clerk, to hand over their
pants. While the two men
were in a wash room doffing
their trousers, Samuel Gilfo,
1900 block Twelfth st. N. E.,
entered to ask for the time. He,
too, was forced to join the
trouserless manager and clerk.
The gunman escaped in an
automobile.
