moments, however, he was calmer.
Mr. Johnson has heard nothing from

she had been found and was safe at

He was very glad she had escaped,

A benevolent old gentleman (isn’t

up in a story?) noticed a snip 11 boy
burst into tears after lie had dropped
a dime down a grating.
“Never mind, little man,” he com

“But then.” wailed the youngster,
bursting into a fresh spasm, “I’d have
had twenty cents if I hadn’t lost one.

SAYS WAR DIDN’T
SAVE DEMOCRACY
Beck Claims There Has Been Sharp
Turning Away From Ideals.
Baltimore, Feb. B.—ls the aim of
the W orld War was to make the world
safe for democracy,” the result was a
“ghastly failure,” James M. Beck,
former solicitor general, told members
of City Club at a luncheon here to
day.
Mr. Beck said that the purpose of
the war was to restore t’iie reign of
law. but that since the World War
there has been a tendency away from
democracy such as had not been ex
hibited in the 150 years preceding.
Woodrow Wilson’s coining of the
phrase involved a philosophical error,
said Mr. Beck, who added :
“That error lay in believing that
the war was a means to democracy.
The truth was that democracy was a
means for the commonwealth. It will
be judged by that standard just ns
any other philosophy will be judged.
As the groat teacher of Galilee said,
man was not made for the Sabbath,
but the Sabbath was made for man."
Supporting his assertion that there
has been a sharp turn away from
Democratic ideals since tile European
struggle, Mr. Beck declared that Rus
sia had deposed the Czar, but that
the soviet government it had set up
was antagonistic to democratic ideals.
“Tiie mechanical age has made of
this nation,” said Mr. Beck, speaking
of the United States, “a nation of
scatter-brains. You cannot make a
government of scatter-brains.”
SENATE REPEALS LAW.
To Permit the Publication of Income
Tax Figures.
Washington, Feb. B.—-Repeal of the
law allowing publication of the
amounts of income tax payments was
approved tonight by the Senate.
The bill, as it now stands, provides
t’uat tax returns shall be opened to |
investigation by special congressional |
commmittees and also provides for the!
appointment of n joint congressional,
committee of ten to investigate to|
keep in touch with the administer.- 1
tion of the internal revenue bureau at j
all times.
The latter committee would have I
power to inspect all returns and those i
opposing full publicity regarded this
as a compromise on the present law
allowing publication of the amounts
of tax payments.
The present law was condemned by
both advocates and opponents of the
full publicity amendment. Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee,
wlio had drafted an amendment pro
posing continuation of the present
system, did not present it for a vote.
Two years ago the Senate by a vote
of 49 to 7, adopted the amenment it
defeated tonight.

eared anything for her. She was a
night hand, and a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Rost, of Caldwell

PREDICTS MODIFYING
OF THE VOLSTEAD ACT
Certain to Come But Not at This
Congress Thinks Mr. McLaurin.
Charlotte, Feb. 8. —"The Volstead
act is ns certain to be modified as
it is certain that it is now a law
of the land," former > United States
Senntor John L. McLaurin, of Ben
nettsville, 8. C., said in Charlotte to
day.
"The modification of this law is in
evitable,” continued the former sena
tor, “but I don't think the present
Congress has quite the nerve to do it.
Every reasonable consideration is in
favor of modification.
| “There is auother factor making for
I the inevitable modification and that
1 is the fact that no congressman or
i senator who has a private stock of
’ | his own and is accustomed te take a
drink now and then can long stand
J the feeling of hypocrisy that all decent
I men must feel when they labor to up-
I hold such a measure as the Volstead
1 act and yet do not observe its spirit
' | themselves.”
