Guest.) Polish Slleslan Coal' Industry Ac tive." The magaslne carries a' number of Interesting articles predicting, the effect of the Dawes plan in booming trade. These are advance statements which will be followed in a short time by corroborative news items In the public press. The Dawes plan has come to stay until It has performed Its functions. It la quite unlikely that the people of the United States will put some other party Into control to hamper the administration of the plan and prob ably Jeopardize it by squabbling. non-comprehension a determination to turn it to political account.

THE PEOPLE PAY. President Coolldge he was not concerned about the effect of' high or low surtaxes on people, of large means. "They can take care of themselves, as the rich always can." S. His chief concern is for the poorer classes, who, in their dally cost of living, are affected by the Indirect Influence of high surtaxes. "At the end of the year it will always be found that the people as a whole have paid the taxes." That is tbe reason that Mr.

Cool- ldge has urged lower surtaxes, so that capital may be induced to come from its hiding in tax-exempt bond investments and- engage in productive enterprise, the proceeds of which will be subject to tax. In that way the. cost of government will be spread over a greater past of the country's wealth and not concentrated on the smaller portion that. is now made to bear the whole burden.

POLICY. If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my in my bosom. Job. 81: S3. There are some people who think that the way to get rid of a thing is to cover it, and that facts may be abolished by not speaking of them.

What is plainly evil and what is apparently dangerous should -be Ignored and concealed. I Do not look at it, and it will vanish. Do not speak of it; and it will cease to be. Is there corruption in government, "something rotten in the state of Denmark?" Draw a curtain over it and talk loudly, about other things. Is, there unrest and dissatisfaction among the people? Ignore it, stifle it, let no one mention it, last it lead to a revolt.

gHas science discovered certain facts whlsh show a process of evolution in nature and indicate thai man's body was slowly "formed ut the dust of the ground?" Keep silence about these facts, forbid all mention of them in the schools, prohibit the study of the testimony of the lest it shake the foundations of faith. Is faith, then, founded upon Ignorance Is peace dependent on oppression and suppression? Is corruption necessary to government? Nothing could be more hostile to the spirit of liberty and democracy than this hide and hush policy. Nothing could be more contrary to the religion of Jesus Christ, who said: "Nothing is hid that shall not be made manifest; nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to 1924. by the Republic I AMES!

Ruel Jadwtn, of 622 Jefferson avenue, Seranton, were married tt years ago yesterday, and they received a number of callers, who congratulated them on the unusual length of their married life. The couple were married In Carbondale. Of the large company of relatives and friends who attended the wedding only two are living. Mr. Jadwin served -as a soldier in the Sixth Pennsylvania Cavalry during the Civil War and at the close of the war opened a drug store in Seranton.

Later he engaged in the rvn The ract is that this young man jnade a mistake in taking a course In business and Industry, if he want-; ed to stay in Mississippi. He should have taken a course in petty poll-, tics. Mississippi has an Immense population of poor agriculturists who are exploited by small polltl-i' clanjl whose chief reliance for con- tlnuance In office is an appeal to old sectional prejudices. With the 7 exception of John Sharp Williams, Mississippi has not produced a I statesman within the memory of men now active in public affairs. H.

Men do not succeed in Mississippi by statesmanship. Neither do they succeed by taking courses In buslines and Industry, That Is, they do not succeed if they stay in Mlssis-i lppl. There are great opportunities for I them in Northern States, and many. Misslssipplans have good after migrating, A very practical vle.w of the iicauses for the situation of whjcl the Mississippi college student com-' plains is presented by a Southern which says that "with resources for manufacturing than those of any other part of America, the South has not yet, ex-' cept In limited places, concentrated its attention upon the. utilization of its ray materials to an extent parable with the North and West." There you have the reason why Mississippi men trained in "business I and industry" must go elsewhere lor a field for their activities.
