No matter who loses in the fight for
the world series prize this year, New
York is bound to win!
■ ♦
The condition of Claud Kitchen,
Democratic leader in the House, is
still grave and fears arq entertained
for the recovery of the distinguished
North Carolina statesman.
However badly Fatty Arbuckle
might have acted, it really does ap
pear as if there is a studied effort on
the part of state and federal officials
to make it hard for him.
; It would be some Joke on Harding if
his pet treaty of peace with Ger
many should rndet the same fate in
the Senate as befell the original
treaty of Versailles. Chickens al
ways did com'e home to roost.
Tbe Indications are that William
Joyce Thompson, well known banker
of New York, will be the first ambas
sador tt> Germany, since the world
war. Ho Is going t.o have a tough Job
of it all right enough.
That was a great talk that General
Pershing made in Paris on Sunday on
the occasion of placing the congres
sional medal of honor on the tomb of
an unknown French, soldier. The Gon
er*! was at his best and his tribute th
the French soldier and to all the sol
diers of the Allied armies, was as
beautiful as it was sincere and, inv
preatdvo.
That treaty providing for a separ
ate peace with Germany is Huble to
run on the rocks In the Sunate. It
now develops that the Entire Demo
cratic strength In that body is to be
thrown against the measure and with
the strength that Borah and LaFol
lette are able to muster, it Is going
to |u> hard for the Republicans to
muster the necessary two-thirds vote,
The Brunswick business men who
left tor Atlanta lust utght are on a
mission of deep concern to the people
of this city. The matter of providing
adequate cargoes for the ships of
the Clyde Lino Is a material and far
reaching subject to commercial Bruns
wtek and It Is to be hoped that the
visitation to Atlanta will bring good
results. That Atlanta and her big
intertssts are willing to cooperate with
Brunswick in the situation is more
than gratifying to the people of this
entire community. \
When the intimation w* loosed

wick eity and suburban electric line
meant that efforts to keep that street
railway line in operation had failed,
the Yount Men's Club of Brunswick
seems to have been overlooked. The

and organisation of progress has been
busy. It has organised a company
which will buy the line and keep It
going, extend It. improve it and

DOING WORTH WHILE WORK.
Wealth or fame is not necessarily
the reward of those who do something
worth while. Success is not always
measured by such standards. One
may be a hero and yet be unaware of
the fact, and the world mSy'be un
mindful that the heroic deed is being
performed by those it may esteeid as
commonplace.
The people of the Southern Appa
lachians, of pure English or Scotch
Irish stock, in some secti/as are
scarcely farther advanced than were
their Elizabethan ancestors. Buried
iif the mountains,, they havo stood
still for generations. To help a few
such a score cf years ago the Ken
tuck State Federation of Women’s
Clubs sent a half dozen cultured
young women into one of the most be
nighted and feud-ridden sections of
the state to look over the ground and
see what could be done to carry twen
tieth century enlightenment tc thgt
region. They penetrated 40 miles
from a railroad. They found the ig
norance they expected, but they also
found a desire for instruction. Two
of tlje young women, seeing the need,
decided to spend their lives there
serving those people in the way in
which thy most needed.
From that beginning schools have
been established that have served to
revolutionize five counties in the
heart of the mountains. For a few
hours’ work a day a boy can obtain
an academic education an druootvo
instruction in some line of industry
that tends to make him an efficient
workman. Girls are taught sewing
and cooking, in addition to their men
tal studies. Nor is training in the so
ci3l graces neglected for either sex.
Hundreds have had-their mental hori
zon widened to a state of Intelligence
where there waS darkness before.
Thus .he efforts put forth by two
“quare fotched-on women” ha/e bed
remarkable effect in the Kentucky
mountains.
Possibly these women are not
aware that they have done anything
heroic. Doubtless the results have
amply compensated Onem for the
years of hard work. Yet are there
many cultured and ed. .ated women
who would bury themselves in the
bills amid a people kind and gener
ous but grossly ignorant a.id find
pleasure In doing It? There were no
“bright lights’ or movies there to
lighten the leisure hours. Certainly
no financial reward could be gained
4loin latch an effort. But is not th*
satfnfiiCtion of having carried the
means of acquiring knowledge to hun
Mrods who otherwise would have uiss
ed their lives in illiteracy, compensa
tion for lack of many of the things_we
who live In more favored regions con
slder essential to our haptnew yot
could be done without?
The individuals who cannot read,
who knows not of the history of man
kind, who is unaware that grer' joys
are locked In books has a horizon in
conceivably narrow. Those women
have lifted the tell and opened a way
to the treasure of the world**? know
ledge to many who could not other
wise have had it. Is not that kind oi
service worth while? Is It not heroic?
Others have done the same thing in
different ways perhaps. Our lives are
rated by what we do, and helping
others not so favorably situated as
ourselves is the highest kind of --er
vice. These two women may have
luid a great amount of thta which so
riety accounts as the pleasures of life,
but they have the record of accom
plishment. Havo they not chosen the
better part?
WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
Boys and girls who struggle in their
grammar lessons with such terrifying
enemies as 'attributive complement,
predicate adjective, anticipatory
verb.” as well as other equally mysti
fying specimens of grammar termi
nology will be glad to learn that ac
cording to a recent writer on the
subject. “English grammar, as it is
now taught, should he dropped entire
ly from qur schools.”
Against the formal teaching of
grammar as a “thing of laws, rules,
ordinances, by-laws aud exceptions;
an unscientific, illogical inflexible dic
tum. which forces children to decline
nouns In cases which do not eilst.
to conjugate verbs tlistenses, meeds
and voices which loug have ceased to
be. and to mke adjectives agree with
nouns agreement ts netther necessary
nor possible”—- against all this empha
sising of the letter and the kilting o*
the spirit the writer makes a stroug
case.
Perhaps the discarding of mental
gymnastics would come as a relief to
the teacher and no lea than the pupil.
Almost every teacher who Is at all
familiar with the speech habits of
school children outside of the cla v
room has come to see the futility o*
[ drying and

.for the torture of the school
t tviltf >ai kpwiwn a* dtagramntlnk
This is evidenced by the fact that the
teaching of grammar as it was prac
ticed 25 or 30 years ago has been sup
planted in a large measure by meth*
ods less irksome and more fruitful to
both the teacher and pupil.
We cannot afford to be less diligent
in our efforts to correct slovenly
speech habits and to preserve the pur
ity ahd effectiveness of a language in
which is written so much of the
world’s best literature, and which is
the mst 'widely ugred togue in the
wo#./If it is our-intention to pre-
the English language, and not
merely to pad a school curriculum, it
should be impressed upon the pupil
cultural and commercial oppor
depends in a great part on
knowledge of his mother tongue
ajid on a desire to use this knowledge
to the best of his ability. Slovenly
speech, the pupil should be made to
understand, is as likely to bring the
user of it into disrepute as is sloven
ly appearance in the matter- of
clothes. To this end the home can
greatly asist the school.
SAVE THE EAGLE.
Only prompt federal action will
save the American eagle from exter
mination by bounty hunters.
More than eight thousand eagles
have been slaughtered along the
coastal region and river valleys of,
Alaska alone since the Alaskan boun
ty law went into operation on Aprii
30, 1917. , The law provides for the
payment of 50 cents for each bald or
I‘American” eagle killed.
In order to swell their gains, it is
declared, bpunty hunters are no long
er limiting themselves to Alaskan ter
ritory, but are reaching out into the
British provinces adjoining Alaska in
search of the rapidly disappearing
ergle. It is even possible that by this
time more than one-half —perhaps
more than three-fourts —of the entire
species has been sacrificed and that
within the next year or so there will
be very few American e'-v&les remain
ing aliye with the exception of the
scattered few' to be seen, caged for
life like malefactors, in the zoologi
cal parks.
The bald eagle has never been an
abundant species. Estimates of its
numbers are said to hav* been great-!
ly exaggerated. Up to the year 1917
the onJy territory where the bald
eagle thrived was along the coastal
region and large rivers of Alaska.!
Here the American eagle built 4ts
n'ost and multiplied exceedingly for a
bird of its siza AdvoektW’ of the
Alaskan bounty law declared that the
American eagle was destructive and
that its numbers must be kept down.
The war of extermination followed
and has been kept up ever since.
The general indifference to the fat 6
cf the great bird of splendid tradition
is due, beyond doubt, to the common
lack of information regarding Its
threatened extinction. The crusade
for the bird’s protection shoudl enlist
the enthusiasm and sincere effort of
bird lovers and bird students through
out the country, of our scientific and
patriotic societies and of tho public
press. It is only by the prompt pas
sage of a national law protecting the
American e ,ie that our national btrd
can be saved from total extinction.

“Tanlac has pot only completely re
