A STRANGE KIND OF VOTING

The vote in Austria yesterday, dispatches
reveal shows the Austrian people virtually SO percent
in favor of German Nazi rule, which would indicate
on the surface that Hitler knew what he about

But more remarkable to those of living in
denocracies is the manner in which these so-caled
pebscites are conducted the waters and the
attitude Of people to iron rule in such cases.
The vote in Austria yesterday was similar to those
which, aKe gbeen held in Russia where The results
invariably are unanimously in of what the rul-

had first moved his military forces into Austria and
taken over that government. He declared that there
should be a vote on whether the Austrian people
favored the Naz regime. The well known storm

the polls and declared themselves OF course attempt
lis made to emphasize that they voted they desired
Perhaps So but the very effective methods the Nazi
rulers have of making life unpleasant, ending it
entirely, for those who might express a contrary
opinion no doubt is conducive to proper voting
A similar situation in this country, tor example
would, lead to,a open state OF war Freedom of the
ballot box is something cherish and have for SO
many years that we could accept other system
The German people and their kin in Austria, how

One Tie Too Many
New York -Telegraml


Defending his acceptance of the presidency OF
The National Lawyers Guild against criticism of its
wisdom and propriety, Supreme Court Justice Fer
dinand Pecora says thinks the fraternal ties be-
tween the Bench and the Bar should be encouraged in
every way"
Not, we incline to believe, by this particular
method
The organized Bar recognizes special duty OF
the lawyer, not only to encourage the selection of
good judges but to invoke due. albeit carefully con-
sered action against actual ncumbents of the Bench
whenever there is proper ground for serious COM
plant In fact, this duty is noted in the very first
of the Canons of Legal Ethics.
In doing all it properly could to help maintain
judiciary standards Bar group might occasionally
find itself not little embarrassed it to us.
by having its president incumbent judge
who might be reluctant to to share in
formulating or presenting charges against another
judge.
Likewise. judge heading a Bar group might
sometimes find it embarrassing to deal in necessary
but "non-fraternal" judicial way with some member
of that group whose conduct required rebuke
punishment
In short, there is a line between Bench and Bar
which, without overstressng it, should nevertheless
remain drawn-for the best interests Of both.

FIRST official U. s. postage
 stamps were the fve-cent Franklin and the 10-cent Wash- ington values of 1847. But neither came into very wide usage at the time because of the high rates of postage.
 In 1845 the rates had been set at five cents for half-ounce letters travelling under 300 miles; 10 cents over 300 miles, with an in- crease of rate for. every addi- tional half ounce.
 So in 1851 a new rate schedule was adopted; three cents for let ters of one-half ounce for dis tances under 5000 miles and six cents for distances over 5000 miles. If not prepaid the rates were 5 and 12 cents respectively. Prior to 1851 no reduction was made for prepayment of postage. The same year the first full se- ries of United States postage was issued, 10 values ranging from one cent to 90 cents, including a one cent carriers adhesive and a one cent prepaid stamp. Franklin ap- peared on the regular one-cent value, indigo blue, reproduced be- low one and one-half times actual size. These were also the first stamps in perforated sheets.

STATE SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINA.
TIONS FOR ACADEMY

Except for three or four years In
more than a century the State of
Maryland has appropriated five
hundred dollars annually for the
support of West Nottingham Acad-
envy.
The condition under which the
first grant was made, was that the
Trustees of the Academy should pro-
vide five free tuition scholarships to
day pupils. A number of the men
who have been, and are today prom
inent in their respectives professions
in the state, were able only with the
aid of this scholarships to obtain
their secondary school education.
In recent years because of large
number applicants, a few of whom
could pay part of the tuition, some
of the scholarships have been di-
vided between two boys, making it
possible for both to attend.
These scholarships are open to
boys who are qualified to enter any
grade above the sixth. Competitive
examinations will be held at the
Academy Office on Saturday, May
21, at 9 o'clock. Applications may
be made in the form of personal
letter addressed to the headmaster.
