Government's Pow er Of Secrecy p Hard to Get Exact Information About What i Taking Place at the Na tion's Capital Two Remarkable Instances Lee Highway Proposed from New York to New Orleans. Washington, June 2. There is no place on earth where it is harder to get exact information about what is actually taking place than the capital of the greatest democracy and the freest people in the world. The power of the government of the United State, for secrecy is greater than its power for publicity. There seems to be a constant battle waged here between the&e two forces in and out of thes government but the press is actually at the mercy of the govern-j ment's Dower of serrpov. Nn news paper man could subsist here if he violated this power. The people of North Carolina are now having two remarkable instances of the power of this secrecy at Wash ington in the fight that was made on David H. Blair for Commissioner of Internal Revenue and in the con test that s still pending over the nomination of Frank Linney for dis trict attorney. The preliminary bat tle over Blair's nomination was made behind the closed doors of the Senate finance committee. Newspapermen were never admitted to these hearings and they published only what was given from various sources to them or what they guessed to be facts. It is certain that much of what was re vealed to this committee for and against Blair will never be published. The fight was finally carried to the secret executive session of the Senate where Blair's nomination was con firmed after what is reported as one Of the most terrific irnrJ c.t-Tv. - - . oiuiiug mat has occurred there in many months. The Washington newspapermen got various versions of what took place there but it would be libellous on Mr. Blair to publish such report., and it would besides be a violation of one of the most sacred rules of the Senate. Yet these reports have been passed from lip to lips and magnified and garbled to such an extent that Mr. Blair, it is felt by some of his friends, takes office as a victim of unjust suspicion. Mr. Linney, if he i, finally confirm ed, may find that the office has cost him too much. He is now in the hands of a sub-committee of the Sen ate judiciary cemmittee and evrything concerning his status there is shroud ed in secrecy. His confirmation or rejection for one of the most impor tant offices in our Federal system of administering justice will be deter mined behind closed doors where the public have no right to lock on and to knew exactly what takes place. The same is true of all appointive offices of the President, which are subject to the will of the Senate. Tired "I was weak and run-down," relates Mrs. Eula Burnett, of Dai ton, Ga. "I was thin and just felt tired, all the time. I didn't rest welL ever hungry. I knew. this, I needed a tonic. as there is none better than the time, yj I wasn't ,4 mew, by M )nic, and I The Woman's Tonic ... I began using Cardul," continues Mrs. Burnett. "After my first bottle, I slept better and ate better. I took four bottles. Now I'm well, feel Just fine, eat and sleep, my skin is clear and I have gained and sure feel that Cardul Is the best tonic ever made." Thousands of ether women have found Cardul Just as Mrs. Burnett did. It should help you. At all druggists. and flourishes under both political parties alike. Every newspaperman in Washington knows that his bread depends upon the willingness of Cabi net officers, heads of bureaus and member, of Congress to give him news. In both the previous and pre sent administration newspapermen have been severely disciplined for ex ercising their fancied independence. Sometimes the infraction of this rule has been committed in the publication of false reports but more often in the publication of some fact the of ficial did not want the public to know. Some weeks ago the Washington correspondent of the New York Times published a dispatch in his paper that Secretary Hughes did not like. When the Times reached the State Depart ment the Washington Time, bureau was hastily called up to learn who wrote the dispatch. The gentleman is said to have been given a curtain lecture that will keep him out of mis. chief hereafter. More than one well- known correspondent is forbidden to enter the office of his home Senator There is the beginning of a strong effort to abolish the secret executive sessions of the Senate. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi is the leader of this movement and the recent fight on Blair's nomination was urged by him as showing the necessity for the passage of a resolution opening the executive doors of the Senate to the galleries and the press during the discussions of nominations for offices and of treaties. JLee Highway "Sectional line, are obliterated only by the feet that cross them." This old saying has doubtless inspired the conception of that grand scheme of building a Lee highway from New York to New Orleans. It is to be completed within three years. The road will run from Washington south through the Shenondoah Valley and by way of Chattanooga, Knoxville and Birmingham. The Lee highway-will parallel the Lincoln highway north of Washington. It is said here the Lincoln highway may be extended south across the States of Virginia, North and South Carolina and Geor gia to join the Lee highway at Bir mingham. Thus there would be built a monument to Lee in the North and to Lincoln in the South, the two great heroes on opposite sides in the civil conflict Harding's Soft-Soap Supply Bounti ful. An owi nas Duut us nest m one of the trees in the White House grounds. Republicans are pointing to the fact as a symbol of the intellec tual ascendency of Harding in the Presidency. But the Senate has not accepted this ascendency of the White House if the debates on the Borah disarmament amendment to the naval appropriation bill are a true indica tion of its temper. The Senate in de feating the Wilson League of Na tions is now like a lion that nas tasted blood. But the President's supply of soft soap is reported not exhausted. Flagrant Violation of Good Govern ment. Democrats regard as one of the most flagrant violations of good government the dismissal of Dr. P. P. Claxon as Commissioner of Educa. tion and the appointment in his stead of Professor Tigert, a stump speaker for Harding in the recent campaign. Dr. Claxton was made the victim of an unfortunate occur rence during the campaign. One of his assistants without the Doctor's knowledge slipped into a document is sued by the bureau an argument in behalf of the League of Nations. Thi, brought down upon the doctor's head Republican wrath, and months ago he was given notice to pack his grip. Simmons and Overman Support Lin ney. The charge that Senators Simmons and Overman are secretly conniving to defeat the nomination of Linney is denounced as absolutely false. Senator Simmons believes that Lin ney's nomination will yet be confirm ed. Senator Overman, who is a mem ber of the judiciary committee, i? by no means certain of it, but both S:na tcrs will vote for Linney when the tim ecomes. Overman's friends de clare if Linney wins he will owe his success to the senator who came to his defense when every Republican on the committee was ab:ut to desert him. TO REBUILD NEGRO ZONE Nor any night hereafter: The thing would never function right, And covered the cops with laugh - ter. We note that a certain town which erstwhile has been the proud posses sor of a curfew law, has nol-prossed ine ringing 01 tne bell, under unusual circumstances. For several reasons we do not name the town, chief of which is we have forgotten it, but, anyway, it exists, as is the wont of curfew restrictions this one was in tended to bear upon young America Future Presidents and baseball Ditch. ers offered no untoward difficulties to the carrying out of a more or less laudable intention to curtail their moonlit wanderings, but the movie stars that are to be presented enough to make up for it. It would appear mat the cops placed undue stress upon the length of skirts, as age prognosticators. The turn of the ankle focussed the eagle eye of the curfew guardians to the neglect of facial lineaments, and thereby brought them to grief It so happened that whenever a cur tailed skirt fluttered in the distance, tnese disciples of Sherlock Holmes deduced almost immediately that the age of the wearer was fully and alto gether covered by the curfew enact ment, and started in pursuit. Oftener than not, their deductions were faulty to a degree and they found them selves arresting self-assertive ma-ters-familias or even worse, grand mothers. Verily, signs of these times prove nothing. Monsieur the chief of police of Charlotte has been up before sundry dignified gentlemen to show cause and so forth as to the disseminating of spirituous fermenti, in minute pack ages within that bailiwick. We were beginning to assume that he was guilty, but up comes that business legal guy. Mr. Technicality and de- poseth that he and he alone shotJ cock-robbin, with his or someone.s prescription, uown this way Old lech, mixes, in ever so often, into me piaynouse ol the leeal fraternity and goes bail for divers human peccadillos. Not always is his moral equipments on siraignt, Dut it is somewhat convenient to have him around when needed. Where is Copenhagen, And bpitzenbergen too: Also, what's the capital Of modern Timbuctoo? Mr. JMiison, after the manner of geniuses and wizards, has discovered that to find your machinist, or elec trician, or what not, it is necessary w asK questions in eeoeranhv. Sans cnt, Hmdoostanee, and the occult sciences. Only a genius, or mavhaD a wizard, would have stumbled upon mis evident, iact. To the lay mind it appears possible that one bereft of intimate acquaintance with a lot of earths topography, and who was deficient in the antics of the ouija board might twist wires, monkey with Mr. Edison's DhonoeranhR and things like that. The onlv e-uv rc, far found who could answer all of the queries died before Mr. Edison got up his list. Nor was he a success at that. He boarded lone and. rnn- tinously with his wife, and suc cumbed when in an evil moment he accepted his first job. Taking in tick ets at the county fair five days each year was too strenuous for him. Once in a great while the cren t American Eagle goes to sleeD on its nest and someone puts a few crows eggs under it, and therefrom emerge3 a few citizens like Harvey and Sims.

It migni oe possible to swap the one to Fritz for the sweet scented Mr. Bergdoll, and give the other to some. one with a considerable to boot, and at that Uncle Sam would get the best oi the deal. We have wasted time on the subject, but are unable to state any reason as to why we should be plagued with these gentry, and would respectfully refer the matter to Mr. Edison as a question worthy his list.

Andrew Freeman, exceeding speed limit; judgement suspended upon pay. ment of cort. Furman Freeman, retailing; not guilty. Lacy Burnett, Indian, four charges of assault upon Lula Blanks, N. B.

President Delivers Diplomas to 260 Naval Academy Graduate., and Ex presses Hope That Nation Never Again Will be Called to War. Annapolis, Md., June 2. President Harding today presented diplomas to the Naval Academy graduates here today with a prayer that the newly commissioned officers never would be called into battle, but with an admonition that willingness to fight and die for one s country always must remain one of the most potent safeguards to civilization. Speaking in Dahlgren hall before the midshipmen and thousands ..of their reJauvc- ...tt f igembied for graduation exercises, the Presi dent solemnly reaffirmed bis faith in a strong and fear less republic,' but added that he wanted it always a re public "of high ideals." The most de sired of national attainments, he said, would be a medium between the spirit of maintained institutions and the spirit of the crusader. With his expression cf hope that the nation would not again be called to war, Mr. Harding coupled a promise that so long as he remained President no American would be called upon to fire a gun except in a cause in har mony with the American conscience and for which answer could be made to God. The President's shbrf address was delivered after he had handed each of the 2G0 graduating midshipman his diploma and had personally congratu lated each on his completion of the aca omy course. Previously Secretary Denby, of the Navy Department, had made the formal commencement ad dress, advising the graduates that their best assets as officers would be the respect and love of their men and counselling them to be truly "of ficers and gentlemen" and never "snobs." Importers, exporters, travelers snip and sail under the Stars and Stripes THERE are today few ports in the world of Importance to shippers or travelers, which cannot be reached by ships that sail under the Stars and Stripes. President Harding has said that, "We cannot sell successfully where we do not carry". The American Merchant Marine that once almost vanished is again an established and important carrier of the world's com merce. You can ship or sail any where in American ships designed for utmost com fort and safety. Operators of Passenger Services Admiral Lin. 17 State Street, New York, N. Y.

Search for a number cf alleged ring-leaders of the race riots of Tuesday night and Wednesday, the lifting of martial law and progress on plans for rebuilding a negro "zone," were developments in Tulsa today. Adjutant-General Barrett, in charge of the state troops here, announced this afternoon he had the name3 of a number of persons suspected, of be ing ring-leaders in the trouble and that when apprehended they would be turned over to the civil authori ties. General Barrett told the chamber of commerce it was unnecessary to keep the state troops after today and this afternoon issued the governor's order, restoring civil law. The committee of seven at a confer ence discussed the request of Gover nor J. B. A. Robertson for a search ing inquiry and decided the best plan would be to handle the investigation through the grand jury. A special comfnittee from the bar association, it was announced, would be appointed to keep with the county attorney's staff.

MEAT CAUSE OF KIDNEY TROUBLE Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney region, .sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your" stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full or sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three time during tJie night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste pet four ounces of Jad Salts from all" nhnr. macy here: take a tablesnoorifiil in a! glass of water before breakfast for a lew days and your kidneys will then ) act fine. This famous salts is made from the aci4. of grapes and lemon J juice, combined - with lithia, and hasi reen used lor generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, clso to neutralize-the acids in urine, so it' no weakness. in uoito ,sa iiicAjt:iiivr, cannot in jure, and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink.
