Democracy Is More Than Majority Rule
CPort Angeles Evening Newsl


 If there is one thing that marks democracy off from other systems of government, it is this: In democracy minOrties assured that certain rights common to all may not be taken away from them by a majority.
 Thus democracy is greater than mere majority rule" It that all individual men have certain rights which not be taken from them whether they happen to agree not with the majority any given time and place It that all the force of the public power shall be used to see that they get those rights, at times under circumstances when at given time and place a local majority may oppose it.
 It is because this principle lies close to the core and heart of democracy, that the now going on in Newark and Jersey City over Mayor Frank Hague is more important than a local affair It is inn portant that people understand the principles in- volved

 That is scarcely enough to satisfy anyone with any faith in democracy, People who didn't care for Thomas principles and didn't wish to hear him speak could very well stay away To allow them to assemble and violently assault a man exercising a commonly recognized right to make speech is something else again. is not democracy. For democracy assumes that men have certain rights and citizens which even a majority can not and must not take away.

REALTY DRAWING
INSURANCE FUNDS
Healthier Market May Bring
4 Billions More Into
Mortgage Field.

The belief that life insurance COM
panies are in q position to shift a.
000, ,000, 900 to the real estate mortgage
field If investments there become "suf-
ficiently attractive" was expressed to-
day by Corwin A. Fergus, chief of the
Division of Research and Statistics Of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
Mr.. Fergus conclusion was based on
the divisions Nationwide study of
investments by life insurance COM
panies which showed that they are
making good progress in the liquida-
ton of the real estate they were forced
to acquire.
Study Reveals Facts.
Other important facts revealed by
the study were:
l. New mortgage loans by life in
surance companies on non-farm homes
in 1887 increased by $98,697 900 over
1886.
2. Non-farm homes disposed of by
life insurance companies increased by
$23, 760000 in 1886 over 1885 and by
$4,000, 900 in 1887 over 1885, indicat-
ing a healthier real estate market.
3. The total amount of mortgages
held on home properties by life in
surance companies increased $85, ,000,-
900 or about per cent from the end of
1896, to reach figure Of sl.389, Sat-
600. The ratio of home mortgages to
total mortgages held by the companies
is approximately Is per cent.
Total mortgage loans outstanding, !"
Mr.. Fergus explained, after a steady
decline each year since 1881, rose ST.
100000, or is per cent during 1887
and brought the total to $5,254, ,779, 900.
or about 20 per cent of total resources.
Market Growing Stronger.
When 1t is remembered that from
1925 to 1928 mortgage loans repre-
sented 43 per cent Of life insurance
company assets and that liquid assets
principally United States bonds-at
the end Of 1887. had risen to unpre-
cedented proportions, 1t would seem
that these institutions could shift Ut

least $4,000, 900, 900 to the real estate
mortgage field, if and when mortgage
investments become sufficiently at
tractive"
The fact that life insurance COM
panies are selling increasing amounts
OF the real estate taken over as collat-
eral for defaulted loans was believed
by Mr.. Fergus TO be an optimistic indi-
cation that the market for such prop
critics Is growing stronger.
Acquisitions Decline.
The disposal of real estate" he
said, "of course cannot reduce real
estate owned so long as the amount
acquired In the same period tends to
exceed 1t. However, acquisitions are
declining. although more so in the
aggregate of all types Of property than
IN the instance of homes alone.
"The ability to move foreclosed
property Is in some degree a measure
OF the condition of the real estate
market. In the instance of homes
there was little change from 1895; an
increase Of per cent In the amount
disposed of.
However, the total amount of prop
critics moved in 1887 was II per cent
greater than the amount shifted in
the preceding year. Farms and COM
nercial joint homes and business
structures showed particular improve
ment in this respect OF the total
amount OF real estate disposed of,
homes accounted for 80 per cent in
1887 and SO per cent in 1886"

driven fan behind a larger heat
ing radiator of the coil type. These
little units are very compact, being
only 10 inches wide, l41a inches high
and ~. inches deep. They are de-
signed to be installed flush with the
wall and obviously take up much less
space than regular radiator of
equivalent capacity One or more of
these little units are placed in each
room, according to the requirements
of the particular space to be served,
and they not only heat the air which
is passed through it but also filter
it. thereby removing harmful and
costly dust particles
Now that we have the various parts
of the system let's see how they all
work together. First of all a CEN
trally located room thermostat turns
on the air compressor and water
circulator simultaneously, a supply of
hot water being maintained in the
boiler by automatic control at all
times. The air and hot water are thus
forced up to each of the little room
units The air passes from the tube
into a small air turbine. which re-
wolves quietly and circulates room air
to all parts of the space beng heated.
AS it passes through the coil it IS
heated by the hot water which has
been circulated by the pump.
After the temperature of the house
has been brought to the desired point
the room thermostat shuts off both
the air compressor and the water
circulator until a supply of heat is
required again. You can easily see
that by having an accurate control
OF both air and hot water and actually
forcing them both to all parts of
the house you will always have q
supply of heat available in the short
est possible time, and by utilizing
this speed it is possible to eliminate
great variations in temperature and
also heat your home in highly eco
nomical fashion.

NEW DEVICE PROVIDES
FOR AIR CONDITIONING
Gas-Operated Humidifers May
Be Added to Steam Heating
system in Winter.

Science has proved that it takes
more than a bowl of water on radia-
tor to achieve adequate humidity in
home heating in order to counteract
the irritating effects of the dry,
parched air in which Americans live
during the winter months.
While the general public is of the
opinion that air conditioning means
a complete and expensive new heating
system, developments have been made
in auxiliary appliances which will ef-
feet similar results
A gas-operated humidifier for addi-
ton to an existing steam heating sys-
-tAm using any fuel now is available,
and places healthful winter air con-
ditioning for the average size home

n VERY once in while we see
~ something in our travels
which seems to be a particu-
- larly logical answer to an old
problem and makes us wonder why
it wasn't done long before.
Take, TO instance, the matter of
heating systems. For many long years
We have been putting in heaters which
either involve great number of ex-
penslve steam or hot water circulating
pipes or an elaborate set-up of sheet
metal ducts for the circulation of
warm air throughout the house.
Now at last a great change has sud-
denly swept over at least a small part
OF the heating business, and you can
now put system in your home which
is utterly unlike any heater you ever
saw before
Instead OF requiring large steel pipes
or ducts you will probably be very
much surprised to hear that the re-
quired air is circulated through a
small five-eighths inch copper tube
for each room being heated. In addi-
ton to this tube We also have two
others of the same size, which carry
hot water to the room-heating ele-
ments. You can see, therefore, that
the piping of such an installation will
be a relatively simple matter COM
pared to the use of steel pipes or
other cumbersome methods, which re-
quire a great deal of cutting and
hand labor to put them in.
On the basement end of these cop
per pipes or tubes We have standard
boiler which generates hot water. 1t
can either be your present old boiler
or one of the new automatic types.
Attached to this boiler is small air
compressor which forces air under
pressure through the copper tube for
that purpose, together with a water
circulator which forces hot water
through the other two tubes leading
to the room heater.
The room heater is almost exactly
like the heater which keeps your car
in livable condition during the winter
months, except that it has a sma

Aye, tear her battered masthead
down
Long has it stood on high,
And many a heart has faster beat
To see her 'gainst the sky.
Beneath it rung the welcome song
Burst battle shout from foreign
shore;
The heroes that once trod her
deck
Shall tread her planks no more.
Her deck once thronged with sol
diers' forms
Where home-bound hearts were
free,
When winds were rushing through
her spars
Twas quite a sight to see.
No more to feel the victor's tread
Resound with songs of victory
The harpies of the shore shall
pluck
The Leviathan from the sea.
Oh. better that her ancient hulk
Sinks far beneath the wave
Her majesty was on the deep
The depths should be her grave.
Haul to her tops the Union Jack
Let every engine still
And give her to the God of Seas
To do with as he will.

SOIL CONSERVATION
TEST WATERSHEDS
Service Established in
Keedysville and Rob
rersville Districts

To show Maryland farmers how
much water runs off farm fields
and to help perfect the design of
erosion control measures, the
Soil Conservation Service is
literally squeezing the rainfall
into test tube on four small
watersheds, ranging in size from
19 acres to 81 acres. according
to o. c. Bruce. State Coordinator
for that Service.
The four test watersheds were
selected. Mr. Bruce states. be-
cause their size and other factors
,are typical of thousands of Mary
land watersheds. They are locat-
ed on the Ray Reeder farms near
Keedysville and the Frank Mullen
dore and John Rohrer farms near
Rohersyille. They will provide
information on rain fall run off
under dairying and general farm
ing conditions.
A stream gauge measuring dam
built of concrete has already been
installed on the watercourse
draining 10 acres of the Mullen
dore farm and eight automatic
rain gauges have been spotted
over the area so that the soil con-
servation engineers can compare
the amount of rainfall with the
amount of water that is measured
going over the dam. Since auto
clocks will be used at the dam and
ut the rain gauges, the engineers
will be able to tell how much of
the rain that falls sinks into the
soil and how fast the rain which
runs off gets into the water conrs-
es draining the entire area. Soil
and temperature conditions at the
time of the tests will be checked
also by special gauges so that the
figures will show true picture
Of the actual farming conditions.
Mr.. Bruce says that numerous
