Washington, d. c., Oct. 1--WE
Americans are a proud race. We
brag about our trumphs in science
and inventions, and pat one another
on the back as we repeat the stor-
les of human achievements in our
country.
The greatest progress of all has
been made through the public school
system. The colonists and the
pioneers began building toward the
world of desires with their little log
school buildings.
American Education Week is an
nounced by the National Education
Association of the United States for
November 6 to IL. The Association
tells us that 1--WE cannot know all
that the future will bring forth, but
one thing we do know: as life grows
more complex, problems become diff
ficult." 1t adds: "To help insure the
building of a better America for
those to come, let us develop schools
which will leave for posterity a
heritage of ever-increasing integrity
and enlightenment"
In 1898 the Philippine Islands
were populated by down-trodden
people who lived under the op-
presive heel of Spain for centuries.
One of the first ship-loads of real
conquerers to follow Dewey to
Manila were American school teach
ers. Today the Filipinos are the
most enlightened and educated
people in the Orient. They are prac-
tically free, as the existing arrange
ment between our country and theirs
is mostly protective of their inter-
ests.
Most of ALL that our country hos
accomplished may be credited to our
educational system, which we al
ways refer to as educational adj
vantages".
1t all started with the American
school bell which has called 80 mil
lion students back to their studies.
That bell is the REAL American
Liberty Bell.

Doctors To Fight

When the Department of Justice
announced it's intention to obtain an
indictment of the American Medic
al Associa ton as monopoly it cut
out pretty tough job. The people of
the country have their own opinions
about doctors, and no one is more
respected and esteemed than the
family doctor.

The United States has had lot of
experience in waging wars against
depressions and postwar conditions
in recent years. The Government is
employing the same measures at this
time that proved effective the last
time.
The method is more direct than
that which falls to the responsibility
of big and little business and that
immense part of the American pub
lie, to whom it concerns. By way of
illustration, it is evident that if an
automobile manufacturer is pre-
vented from producing cars that he
will not need tires from the great
rubber industry, or trainloads of
steel, or the greatest part of cotton
that goes into any one manufactur-
ing industry; not to overlook the
fact that glass, upholstery fabrics,
copper, wood, brass, and other pro-
ducts of agriculture, the mines and
factories are supplied from every
State in the Union-to go into auto
mobiles.
Dealers and merchants in all lines
of business are calling for more
goods. To fill these orders the manu-
facturers are buying raw materials.
No statement could be more i'm
portant than that General Motors,
Chrysler and Ford expect an i'm
provement in business for 1899. The
automobile industry pulled the
country out of the last depression"
With all the natural advantages
that the Nation enjoys there is rea-
son for encouragement in this
months outlook, confirmed by Of
fetal and unofficial statistics, that
there is an upward turn for the bet
ter in these affs irs of the Nation
that are of most concern to our
people

quantities Of surplus dairy products
has been started. The opening gun
Of the drive sounded on June 9, and

The 100000 stores cooperating in
this great voluntary effort to avert
an agricultural crisis make up a

merchandising. They include 5000
drug stores, 5000 chain variety
stores, nearly 10000 cha grocery
stores, and $4,000 independent

cally every community in the United
States will be reached in the drive.
According to Charles w. Holman of
the National Cooperative Milk Pro-
ducers' Federation, Never before
has there been such a large aggre-
cation of distributing outlets con-
eentrated upon program of service
to dairy farmers"
The figures afford ample proof OF
the need for such a campaign. In
the typical month of April, produc-
tion of the principal manufactured
dairy products was nearly 12 per
cent above a year ago. and more
than IL per cent above the five-year
average. Consumption has been be-

LONDON, Nov. 28.--Sir Oswald
Mosley, leader of British Fascists,
today. issued q formal statement
which neither confirmed nor denied
reports he had been secretly mar
ried to Mrs. Diana Guinness, blond,
28-year-old, Nazi-admiring daughter
of Baron Redesdale.
Reports that the two were mar
ried in Munich or Berlin in Deem
Der, 1887, with Chancellor Hitler
and other high Nazi personalities in
attendance, were published in Lon
don papers. Such a report first
was published in Paris November

Denies Presence In Reich.
The statement, issued through his
organization of British Union, said
that Sir Oswald has not been in
Germany at all for over two years"
1t denied the authenticity of what
1t called "the alleged document of
December, 1887, to which publicity
has been given" referring to the
supposed record of the wedding,

Japan Reported
Building Warships
Over 10000 Tons
Naval Annual in Reich
Says Two Will Have
15.98-Inch Guns
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated PTeSS.
BERLIN. Nov. 28.-Germany's
standard annual on naval affairs.
"Nauticus," 1899, which has just
been placed on the bookstands,
makes the assertion that Japan is
building two battleships Of 10000
to $4,000 tons.
"Nauticus" adds, ut may be as
sumed that the main armament OF
these battleships will be nine 40.6
centimeter G5.98 inches guns"
The annual further states that
Japan not only is reinforcing her
naval bases in the Far East. but is
pushing new ones "as far as possible
into inundated regions In the south
and southeast"
Keeling and Takao on Formosa
and Mako in the Pescadores Islands,
between Formosa and China, are
being further fortified, "Nauticus"
says.
Nauticus assumes that Japan is
building fuel bases for her air force
and for submarines in the Mari
anne, Caroline and Marshall Islands,
just north of the equator. Japan
took these islands from Germany in
the World War and now holds them
under League mandate. Japanese
spokesman have denied that mill
tary bases were being built in the
islands, which would be in contra
vention of the terms Of the man
date.
(Reports that Japan, freed from
the limitations of the Washington
naval treaty since the end of 1896,
was building battleships OF $4,000
tons were published in Europe last
year. Early in 1888 the United
States, Britain and France formally
inquired in Toxic as to the truth Of
these reports. When Japan failed
to give the information requested

nounced the 35.000-ton battleship

ton, urged that every effort be made
to procure an increase in the Fed
eral payment toward District eX-
penses. He also opposed an increase
in the gasoline tax or diversion Of
me gasoline tax fund.
"Under existing legislation a high
way fund has been created for the
District and all motor vehicle fees
and revenues are covered into that
fund and are dedicated exclusively
for the maintenance and construc-
ton of streets and highways in the
District" said Mr.. Cleveland.
Pursuant to the recommendation
of the Carpenter Subcommittee of
the District Committee of Congress
in 1896, the Commissioners of the
District were called upon to pre-
pare a Swear highway program for
the District Of Columbia. This high
way program was prepared, and the
Highway Department of the Dis
trict is now engaged in executing its
provisions.
No New Road Levies Needed.
This highway program has es-
tablished the fact that no addi-
tional revenues are needed to meet
the highway requirements Of the
District of Columbia, provided all
motor vehicle revenues collected are
used exclusively for highway pur-
poses. This does not mean that
additional revenues could not be ex-
pended with profit to the highway
system of the District of Columbia.
It merely means that the necessary
maintenance of existing streets and
highways can be financed and a
long grange program Of new construc-
ton carried forward. 1t does not
mean, however, that the street sys-
tenn of the District can be brought
up to date Immediately with exist
ing funds. Such program can only
be carried out over period of years.
and existing revenues are sufficient
to finance a fair portion of such a
program each year.
THE Advisory Board of our local
A. A. A. club has given careful study
to the highway needs OF the District
and has approved, in principle, the
f1ve-year highway program for the
District as prepared by Capt. H. c..
Whitehurst, director of highways.
Our club has gone on record re-
peatedly as being opposed to an
increase in the present 2 cents gas
tax and it has fought increasingly
against the diversion of motor We
hicle revenues for purposes other
than the construction and mainten-
ance Of streets and highways.
Cites Federal Aid.
AT the last session of Congress
legislation was enacted whereby the
District of Columbia was included
in the Federal and highway pro-
gram. AS a result of this legisla-
tive provision the District will an
nually secure an additional sum for
highway purposes which amounts
this year to about 100000. This
legislation would not have been
enacted had the District been guilty
of diversion of highway funds and
If diversion should be resorted to
for the District penalty of one
third of these funds would be as
sessed against the District.
THE American Automobile Asso-
citation is also committed to a pro-
gram calling for a larger Federal
contribution to the District of Co.
lumbia. The 5000 900 appropria-
ton made by the Congress to cover
its share Of the operating expenses
of the District of Columbia is who'll
