SIIQVLD BE IN VIRGINIA'S
RILL OF FAME.
One of the strongest addresses that
has been made in the country recent
ly was delivered by Dr. George W.
McDaniel, pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Richmond, before the Vir
ginia Senate. Dr. McDaniel defend
er 1 ‘he traditional separation of church
■a state in a speech that could well
be placed iu the hands of every citi
zen of the country. ,
The occasion was a bill offered in
the Virginia legislature to require
the reading of Biblical Scriptures in
' the public schools. It was defeated,
and a reading of the exposition of Dr.
McDaniel offers an explanation of
why such a bill could be defeated.
Some excerpts from Dr. McDaniel's
brochure will give an idea of the trend
of his logic:
“The foundation or tile state is
force: the foundation of repgion is
choice. The state wields the strong
arm : religion employs gentle methods.
The state appeals to the militia to
preserve order; religion appeals to
free choice to win • adherents. It is
writ large on the pages of history that
whenever the church joined with the
state for any purpose, religion suffer
ed. Religion and government are
both strengthened when they are rec
ognized as two disitinct hemispheres *
“Religion is purely voluntary. That
principle runs through all the New
Testament. God does not compel any
one to hear or believe. What God
does not do, man dare Dot attempt.
Religion is a tiling between the soul
and God. It is of such a personal
spiritual, sacred nature that govern
ment must not touch it. It, 1 is so vi
tal aud vigorous that it doea not lean
. upon the prop of the State. Attempts
to have the State in some way advance :
religion are. in the last analygia. a
confession of the weakness of religion
which spme of us will not admit. Ev-1
ery time the State has touched the
' Church, it has ta : nted it."
“Observe, gentlemen of the commit-'
' tee, that this would be the only book
»* read in a school upon which a teach
» er cpuld make no comment. That
' would seem to thoughtful pu
„ , pils. They would rightly conclude I
+ that the clause against comment was
• in the bill because the State was raed
• tiling in something with which it
• really had nothing .to do, that the
m State was playing with tire. Oh, some
one will say, ‘That, is to prevent sec- i
' 1 tarianism.’ Why, the King James
L Bible is, Jp the mind of the Jew ami
f: the Roman Catholic, sectarian. That
i is the stttbtmrn fact, whether we like
*- it or not. As citizens, we ought to rp-H
p. spent their views: as legislators you
i are bound to regard their vouseieu
f* ces ; I would like to change they
minds by reason and persuasion; but
v by tow, never I”

i SEES “PAINLESS EXTRACTION"
:| POLICY. s
| The New York World, intensely
’ | democratic as it is, father surmises
that Mr. Andrew Mellon is right in
bis apprehension that the heavy tax
J cut this year may mean some increas
, ed taxes next year. It' fears that
. I when, and if, increased taxes are nec
essary Congress will shy off from put
' ting back on the tax roils the two mil
lio'ns eliminated this year.
"The temptation to resort to indi
rect levies—to pluck the goose in
such away as to get the maximum of
featrers with the minimum of squawk
—will be hard to resist,” it says.
One of the principal reasons for the
present demand for government econ-
says The World, is that over
7.000,000 people pay something direct
ly into the Federal Treasury—and
know it. “To relieve a large portion
of these people as diireet payments
and later to impose on them new taxes
concealed in the jtrices of what ey
consume woluld be a distinctly back
ward step.”
The politician will take a chance on
this matter because he realizes that
the average man thinks he is getting
something when he pays indirect rath
er than direct taxes.
Take South Carolina, for example.
Two years ago taxes were reduced
somewhat, or rather they were not in
creased when the State budget was
increased, so the people thought they
were getting off with something. Here
was a fine condition, they argued,
more money being spent without an
increase in taxes. All of the time
they were paying taxes on soft drinks,
tobacco, .cosmetics and some other
things. They were really paying more
than they would have paid if taxes
had been increased directly.
They are still after the Countess
of Catheart. A Federal Judge hon
ored her writ of habeas corpus and
she was allowed to enter the United
Now the Department of La
bor announces it’s determination to ask
the higher court to vacate the Judge's
ruling. And in the meantime nothing
is being done about hundreds of other
' persons, just as bad as the Countess,
who are in this country.
KING’S SEA FLIGHT
PLANS ROUSE SPAIN
Court Near Panic as Alfonso An
■tounres He’ll Fly With Queen to
Argentina.
Special to Now York World.
Paris. March 2—The Spanish
Court has born thrown into a condi
tion bordering on panic by King Al
fonso's announcement that he in
tends to fly to Argentina and other
countries in South America with
the Queen. Gen. Primo de Rivera
and a number of court pensonages.
Reports from Madrid say Com
mandant Franco, hero of the recent
tfans-At'.antic flight, has been advis
ed of his sovereign's project atui
agreed to accept responsibility for
this unprecedented royal veuture.
The King's intention is revealed
by a statesman of world-wide repu
tation and some of the details are
printed here by I Journal.
When Franco terminated his flight
across the Atlantic no one was more
enthusiastic than King AlfronSo.
who, congratulating him by cable,
asked:
“Would you take me to Argentina
by air?”
“It would be my greatest claim
to glory."
“Are you sure of succeeding?’'
cabled Alphonso, and Franco re
plied : "With absolute certainty anti
safety."
The King proposes to take off
from Palos, where Christopher I’o
lumb.us started on hi<* great adven
tuse. He is busy now, according to '
Le Journal's informant,'' organizing
a flight on a grundoise scale worthy
of the epoch-making visit of the sov
ereigns of the mother country to hpr
daughter republics.
Ten planes would carry the royal
party. Just before arriving at
Buenos Ayres the King and Queep
would change into the most
sumptuous court attire—the King in
ful uniform, blazing with decora
tions. the Queen in * regal robe
with crown of jewels and the royal
diadem gleaming on her head.
✓lt is proposed to make the landing
of the aerial cortege such a gorgeops
scene of pageantry as was never
seen before. On machine would go
ahead at the last minute and scatter
clouds of roses from Spain on the
crowd waiting tp acclaim the sov
ereigns.
His friends are endeavoring to dis
-nude the King from carrying out
his project, but Alfonso, whose im
pulsive nature is well known, is very
i keen, and difficulty is anticipated in
| convincing him their arguments are
.sound.

Overman’s Amendment.
Wilmington Star. - *
The Elliott bill, recently passed
hy the house, has found small favor
in the eyes of Senator Overman,
and the junior North Carolina mem
ber is laying careful plans to insure
the proposed measure" a warm re
ception when it reaches the floor of
the senate. “Instead of leaving the
allotment of public building fund in
the hands of the jiostoffice ’ and
treasury departments. Mr. Overman
will offer an amendment apportion
ing the $165,000,000 fund to the
various state*) according to popula
tion. Through this method he would
insure North Carolina of her right- '
ful share ofthe budget, and check
mate the opposition move to distri
bute the plum in direct ratio to the
republican majorities roiled up by
the various communities.
Senator Overman wisely holds
that without questioning the hon
esty aud sincerity of the three of
ficials upon whom the task of al
location wou’d devolve under the
Elliott measure, the temptation is
too grave to be risked. Under his
proposed amendment, the smaller
cities and towns, into \yhich general
category the North Carolina com
munities will fall, will have equal
rights w ith the lqxgcr centers of I
population which be favored under
the house measure.
Mr. Elliott, author of the house
bill, will probably concur in the
amendment, Washington * dispatches
say. which with the strength the
Overman plan will receive front
other sections of the south and
southwest virtually precludes the
possibility of its defeat.

s Joanna’s pulses raoed when
- Yvonne proposed to her that she
come to her own place and make
J 1 ft her home. -“For a time, anyway.
I, You will want to be getting away
* from your old atmosphere, you
know, and I shall love to have you
with me—as long as yap wto^."
What Kenilworth had said
flashed across her mind, hlg pre
*' diction of just this invitation. She
fancied that she caught a fllcket
' | of his eyelids when she glenoed at
J ! aim. For one brief instant the
[ j rlston of John framed itself among
‘ ter thoughts, hut it faded auicV
! ty when she had shaken her head
; * little, to drive it away. Any
’ thought of John had become un
' pleasant. It aroused defiance ln
' | side of her, rebelliousness. Always
, when he appeared In her mind, she
| taw herself, at first, going up to
him, her face liftod, her lips held
| pleadingly, for the greeting that
' had been so customary between
them. This sort of vision hurt,
’ though. The phrpse that ran so
pften across her brain would come
lack— “ Would that fit in. now!"
, ' This time it was the thought of
; John coming Jo her and finding
jier with Yvonne- There was eotne
' thing about that which wasn’t
; right. So she gave that little
' I shake of the- head and drove John
1- away.
; “I’m afraid I would be awfully
1 funny to you." she said to Yvonne,
her excitement at the prospect
playing In ner voice. "I can’t be
still, for long, because there is so
much I want to do but can’t think
of, that 1 just ran around in cir
cles.”
! "But I’ll help you, perhaps,"
L Yvonne assured her. "1 shall stave
as enjoyable a time abolit helping
you launch yourself, as'you. your
self. There will be a.motor car to
I buy—and I've never got over my
; fondness for picking out motor
cars, and jewels, and clothes—it
I will be*a lark, truly!"
Joanka would have yielded to
' ' Yvonne's suggestion that to-sight
1 | would be as good as any any other
i time, but while they watted in the
' j foyer of the restaurant-club for
Brandon’s car and Yvonne’s. Bran
! don murmured to her:
j “Decisions made after midnight j
I are not always safest Yvonne j
will welcome you tomorrow as
warmly as tonight. And tomor
row will do you just as well lam
going tp drive you home.”
"You mean,” Joanna said, light
ly, “to the rooming-house. What- 5
ever I do, or wherever I go, you
must remember that I haven't

while she bit at her llpa. Then
she finished: "Thai 1 haven't had.

CHAPTER XII.
Joanna Visits Eggleston
So Joanna, a billow of snow
white ermine, nestled in the cush
ions of Brandqn’s limousine, went
hdppily to the place she had called
home. Went to the rooming house
where Mri. Adams lost her sleep
pver flapper lodgers. She thought
It wtmld be for the last time

tant. like a movie star, like Mrs.
. Delqncy Jordan, with whose son
Bob Joanna once had a date, nego
tiated over his mother's shoulder
at the silk counter, had seltled at
last In her groping brain. Her
fight for understanding of the fan
tastic thing that Uad happened to
her was over, soothed away by the,
retrospects of the The
feel of the ermines against hex
cheeks and throat anfl shoulders,
the nearness of Brandon, who
wore his evening clothes so smart;
ly. the prospects of the morrow
When she woulfl movp Into the

and suffused hex alert bndy with %
gentle glow.
For the twentieth time she re
solved to puzzle no more about thp.
source of the mpney or the reason
of It. Something woulij hjpgen to
her, pf course. She’d meet It on
tiptoes. One thing, though, she
must square up. Brandon, what
ever his part in her affairs, mustn’t
think she was —well, the kind of a
beU that is all clapper and no ring.
She taxed him suddenly:
. "Why didn’t you want me to go
to Miss Coutant’s tonight? It
would have been much easier than
I tomorrow.”

I don informed bar. “-You're an lra

When he stood with her for part

burned Its grim reproach to young
ladles who breezed In from mid
night to four. Brandon suddenly
took Joanna's hands in, his and
gently drew her to him until she
stood quite close, so that she had
to lift her chin to look into his
face. For a moment she was pap-,

a kiss, she thought. She didn't

glances of interest. It seemed as

Eggleston rose to receive her
Again she saw a great gentleness
beneath the grave, austere exterlot
of this man whose "harshness was
a tradi'ion that even shop girls
i knew In his presence she trem
hied at her own audacity in coth
ing to speak to him of her Ruls
matters.
"But yon may always come to
me —at any time." the banker as
sured her patiently.
"I have made up my'mind what
to do," she told him when sb»
had sought some other opening
and failed to fl,nd It. “It isn’t very,
much, just that I have found s
great friend Vho will show ms
