 licity is in contrast to the steady development of the Landon boom during the past year since the gov ernor began to acquire national fame as a Kansas Coolidge. Except for a lonesome occasional protest from Borah that Landon was tied in with the so-called bosses, there have been few attacks on the silent campaigner of Topeka.
 But there have been other evil dences of opposition. Landon has been drafted by the Hearst-Mer- riam forces as Q California presi- dential primary contestant. He is opposed ther by political clements friendly to MT. Hoover. Despite the lattre's denials it appears the fore mer president is doing what h0 can to head off the man from Kansaab At least many of MT. Hoover'S old time political associates aro bucisA ing Landon although otheg e2M HooveriteS are prominent on t1a Landon board of strategy.
 Troubles Of L4nu00
 Landon's troubles-at least M &N r1ewspapers-began after last week3 meeting of the republican national committee at which Steiwer wes named keynoter of the June 28 Cleveland convention. The Landon forces, reportedly with the support of Frank Knox. wanted o. Wayland Brooks to keynote the g.o.p. this year. Brooks was nominated by re- publicans this month for governor of Illinois. But eastern or old guard republican leaders got to- gether on Steiwer. The Landon drive for Brooks collapsed before it really got started.
 MT. Hoover's opposition in Cali fornia, Borah's public protests at Laridon's refusal to take his chan ces in the presidential primaries and the refusal of eastern republi- cans to let Landon kidnap the party convention organization comprise anti-Landon movement as revealed so far.
 Borah Not Considered
 The selection of Steiwer instead of Brooks as keynoter in interpre- ted by some obserers as meaning that such leaders as Charles D. Hillies of New York and J. Henry Roraback of Connecticut are not convinced that Landon is the most desirable available candidate. New York's bloc of 90 uninstructed dele- gates to the republican national convention an Hilles' final decision on the best available man may determine who shall win next June.

Morris l.. Cook.
With these allotments REA has
lent or earmarked total of $780,
S95,17S for nearly $4,000 miles of
rural lines to serve about 10000
farms heretofore without electric
service.
An additional allotment of $780,
900 has been made to an electrical
cooperative now being formed in St.
Marys, Charles and Prince Georges
counties, Maryland. Previously an
allotment of $4,000 had been made
for this project which has meanwhile
been expanded considerably. The
total amount allotted is S165,000 for
building about 1876 miles of lines to
serve 527 customers.

PEDESTRIANS CONCERN OF
MOTORISTS

The pedestrian now is under the
microscope of highway safety ex-
perts He Cor she) is giving them
more concern than the motorist, ac-
cording to the Keystone Automobile
Club of Maryland because the latter
is definitely reacting to enforcement
and safety pleas, while the walker
continues to faunt all appeals, with
resulting increased toll of accidents.
Reckless operation Of motor We
hicles is ON the Decline" said Garri
son P. Knox, Manager Of the Club,
"but reckless walking shows no
signs of attainment. Monthly Stats
tics of all state agencies show that
crossing between intersections and
walking from behind parked cars
continues to- exact deadly toll. The
big problem is how to control the
pedestrian without making him
amenable to the same laws as the
motorist,
"a great number of pedestrian
fatalities and injuries are among the
class of persons who have never
driven motor vehicles. They appar-
entity believe that vehicles can be
stopped instantaneously, and conse-
quently take chances that no driver
will take when he himself is pc
destrian
Elderly persons are especially
prone to step into the street at I'M
expected places, not realizing that
vehicles cannot be stopped as quickly
as a person can stop walking. We
have concentrated on impressing the
driver with a sense of his rtsponsi-
bilities, and now the movement must
be extended to educate the pedes-
trian, and this phase of highway safe
ty work is considered to present
more difficulties than any other, be-
cause of the absence of any control
over the movements of walkers"

BOOTLEGGING STILL RAMPANT

Three years of repeal in the United
States disclose governmental greco
for revenue causing high taxes Oh
LIQUOR, which contribute to the large
scale continuance of bootlegging, the
saloon creeping back in some areas,
and many promises of the repealists
unrealized.
Bootleggers were expected to dis
appear like ''snow upon the deserts
dusty face after repeal. So the
"wets" promised. The extent of the
bootleggers disappearance is writ
large in statistics released by the In
stitute of Public Administration in
New York. The institute figured thai
100000 gallons of bootleg liquor
were produced in the United States
in 1895, contrasted with 82,S16,0OO
gallons of liquor on which tax was
paid. Now the institute concludes
that bootleggers who can produce
100000 gallons of liquor in a
year have not disappeared. In fact,
the institute declares that bootleg
ging is as highly organized since re-
peal as before.

NEED FOR RELIGIOUS sTNULA.
TION IN COLLEGES

College Park, Md, Nov. 16-Feel-
ing that there Is need for religious
stimulation in colleges of the United
States, DR.. H. c. Byrd, President of
the University of Marylsnd has re-
Gently made an intensive study of
conditions at that institution and
named a committee of six faculty
members to consider methods of
strengthening student interest.
DR.. Byrd said, Religion should be
an integral part of every students
life, not separate from it. 1 should
like very much to have carried out,
here at the University of Maryland,
a we'll organized program that would
build up the morals and religious life
of the campus"
DR.. T. B. Nanny, Of the Division of
Humanities, was named TO head up
the committee and will be assisted
by DR.. Charles White, chairman of
the Freshman Sophomore Group,
College or Arts and Sciences, who
has been actively interested in re-
ligious work ever since his student
days; Geary Eppley, newly appointed
Director of Athletics; DR.. Frieda
Mcfarland of the Home Economics
College; Professor w. B. Kemp and
DR.. George D. Quigley.
In speaking of the work to be done
by the new committee, DR.. Nanny
stated that although not yet in a
position to make any definite recon-
mendations, the committee has al
ready held meeting and feels that
the time is ripe to inaugurate courses
in religion" Foremost in consider
alton would be course in "Compar-
alive Religions" handled by the De-
partment of Philosophy, and His
tory of Evolution of Religion" to be
given by the History Department
The former course was offered sever.
al years ago and met with good re.
sponse.
At the same time DR.. Nanny point
ed out that because the University OF
Maryland is a State university great
care must be used in selection OF
courses given so that no i'll feeling
could result from supposed bias pre-
sentation. He said that the English
Department for years had been Civ
ing a course in 1.-THE Old Testament
as Literature" and that it is one OF
the most popular on the campus.
DR.. Nanny praised highly the work
of the campus Y. w. c. A. organiza
ton and that of the Student Govern
ment Association in collecting and
distributing baskets of food ant
clothing to needy families in Mary
land. He also had enthusiastic praise
for the Baptist Club and the Episco
pal Club which are two of the strong
est on the campus.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1886
THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day is almost upon
us. Thursday next, NOV. rs, is the
time we will observe it.
Thanksgiving Day is commonly, If
not correctly, supposed to be an in
stitution borrowed bodily from the
New England Puritans. who, per-
haps, substituted it for the ancient
holidays of the Christian Church,
which they eschewed.
Christmas and Easter were ane-
thema to the Massachusetts, Bay col
onists as festivals pertaining to pre-
lacy in the mother country. The
older folks pursued their usual Ia
bors on those days, and the little
folks crept unwillingly to school.
Nevertheless, the grim founders OF
that colony nursed very marked ap-
petite for good things to eat and
made their one festival an occasion
for the qualification of their palates.
But the Thanksgiving Days are
older by far than the Puritan colo
MES. From times immemorial Te
Deums were sung by nations after
victories in war, and after providen-
tial blessings of various sorts in
times of peace.
One of the first proceedings OF the
settlers of Maryland was to give
thanks to God for leading them to
such a beautiful country, and Mary
landers have been following the ex-
ample set by their forefathers down
to the present time.
The New Englanders, however,
seem to have originated the practice
of Jumping their Thanksgiving on
specified day in each year, while 9TH
er peoples scattered them as occasion
for them arose.
At many times in the history OF
the American colonies and States,
special days have been set for the ex-
preston of gratitude to heaven for
favors received, but, perhaps, on the
whole, the New England practice OF
setting apart the special Thanksgiv-
ing Day was the better one.

CHILDREN AND SCHOOL

The startling information that
about half of the four million child
rem who enter the first grade in the
elementary schools each year fail to
reach the second grade should serve
as a challenge to all parents.
This represents an enormous waste
in education from a financial stand
point because the cost of educating a
child amounts on the average to SIS
a year.
It also means a useless waste of
time for a child to spend two years
where one year should suffice.
The solution lies in the hands of
parents. How well they will meet
the challenge remains to be seen.
In the majority of cases, failure OF
children to make passing grades the
first year, investigation has shown, is
due to physical and mental defects.
The appeal then, is to parents to
groom children to as near perfect
condition as possible, mentally and
physically, before they enter school
for the first time.
It il porblem that should COM
mand the serious consideration of
every parent and school teacher.--Ea.

ment cuttings, trimmings and tree
planting on privately owned wood
lands in the vicinity of the c. G. G.
Camps.

nings, improvement cuttings and tree
planting where required. The oper-
ations will be carried out with c. G.
C. labor under competent supervision
and under a cooperative agreement
with the owner. The material cut
will be for the benefit and use Of the

FARM INCOME UP ii PERCENT

The nations farmers will have a
gross cash income this year of 9,443
million dollars, an increase of IL per
cent over the 1885 income, the Unit
ed States Bureau of Agricultural
Economics forecasts. In its annual
report, the bureau said:
"The 1886 gross cash income from
agriculture is continuing the upward
trend begun in 1888 and, according
to preliminary estimates, represents
an increase of approximately IL per
cent over 1885 income.
THE outlook for 1897 income
from agriculture the country over is
a continuation of the upward trend
of 1935-1936."

CLAIMS COURT
WITHIN LAW,
SAYSCAYT0N

New legislation will not be nee
esSary to establish a small claims
court" in the District, Municipal
Judge Nathan Cayton, who has
made an extensive study of this
matter, revealed today.
Judge Cayton, who last July
first advocated establishment of
such court, holds that it is with
in the jurisdiction of the munich
pal judges to make rules for the
special handling of certain types
Of cases.
The court could be established
without adding additional person
mel, he holds, with the judges tax
ing turns at sitting in the court
and using their own court clerks.
This would not interfere with
their own court work, he says, but
would add efficiency by freeing
the municipal court of the trouble
Of hearing and deciding minor
cases.
Judge Clayton believes the new
court could use the courtroom as
signed to the landlord and ten
nant court when it is not in use.
He advocates the new court to
handle all cases where less than
$50 is involved. Similar courts are
already successfully functioning in
many cities.
