(Official City, State and County Newspaper) After Appomattox On April 9, 1865, a silver-haired, courtly gentleman in a gray uniform sat in a country courthouse at Appomattox, Va., facing a grim- jawed man in blue, and surrendered to him the lant army with which, for four years, he made history. The surrender was complete. The soldiers ‘were to lay down their arms and disband. All artillery and munitions were to be given up. | The cause was lost forever. The letters “C. ' §. A.” on the buttons of the gray-clad officer now meant only a memory and not an inde- pendent nation. When Robert E. Lee put his signature on the articles of surrender he knew that his defeat was complete. On April 9, next, 63 years after that sur- render, a gigantic stone figure will be unveiled at Stone Mountain, Ga. It is to be a gigantic memorial to the man who was beaten; an heroic stone monument to the defeated leader ' of a lost cause. What is the meaning of this word “defeat- the horizon. And that wouldn’t happen if Britain really thought there was any likeli- hood of war with the United States in the near future. The Idle Word The idle word that stings is as old as human speech. Spoken thoughtlessly or spoken in a moment of irritation, it says more than the speaker meant. At least it says more than he would have said if he had taken second thought. Too often in a hasty moment one who really would not for worlds cause lasting hurt does just that because he reaches for the first remark that will register. These idle words go deep, dezp into the heart and memory of the one to whom they are addressed. There is no way of reaching this harm by laws and courts. There is no way of resolving that one will never say the thing that causes needless hurt, except by re- solving to build up a habit in one’s life of say- ing only kindly things until quiet reflection has shown the need of something else. This is not a text for weaklings, a counsel of meekness to the point of being trodden upon. It was not a weak man who prayed, “Set 2 watch before the door of my lips,” nor a foo! who wrote, “She openeth her mouth with wis- dom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Lo, the Poor Man! (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) An English writer who has just visited the United States is in tears about American men. He says they are falling behind in our civiliza- tion at a rate which we do not ourselves real- ize. American women, however, are going for- ward. This Englishman observes that ai Cherbourg, where the great army of Ameri- cans which goes to Europe every year embarks for the home voyage, one secs 20 women to one man. He notices the same inequality over here in all cultural respects. Is there ‘a sym- eee concert, an enlightening lecture, a good k, an art exhibition? Twenty women, one man. The result is that an intellectual gulf is openitig between the sexes. The man comes home from his office and eats his dinner with- out looking up from his plate. There is noth- ing his wife cen talk to him about, and he | | ed,” anyway? What do we mean when we gay Lee was beaten? Why do we build a me- morial to the man who surrendered to the fed- eral government 63 years ago? ' _ There are various kinds of defeat. There is the kind Wilhelm of Germany suffered, fol- lowed by ignominious flight over the border; and there is the kind that leaves the defeated | man a hero. Lee’s defeat was of the latter | kind. Appomattox brought to an end his mili- ! tary carecr. But Lee himself was a kind of victor on that occasion. Appomattox did not dim his fame. it did not prevent the entire country, north and south, from enshrining him as a hero afterward. For true greatness can never be really beat- en. And Lee was not only great in a military ' sonse; he had that inward serenity and lofti- sess that set their possessor apart from ordi- nary men, and meke him an influence for good long after he has passed on. Lee stands today with his fame more sccure than ever before, 2 constant inspiration to the men of his country. We cannot do without our heroes. We must have our tradition of great men. Lce takes his place in America’s roll of honor; we feel that we are better men, and a better country, because he lived. The Stone Mountain me- morial is, in a way, our public avowal of that Lee was beaten on the field of war. Yet he ‘was victor in the broader, deeper sense. Life could not overcome him. He faced it squarely and bravely, and ceme out forever triumphant, leaving a name like a blazing star to shine down the path of our history. Passing of Gypsy Flyers Aviation owes a debt to the war that has mever been fully recognized. Most of the total mileage flown any ycar in America is recorded by air-service operators for individuals, cor- and firms other then mail and regu- § exprees orgenizations. The United States has had hundreds of airmen who are “on their own.” They are wandering pilots, here today ‘and somewhere else tomorrow. The young men who had learned to fly in the army and navy during the war returned life with one great desire—to continue alluring field of avietion. As the gov- it had thousands of surplus engines and to be disposed of, these war pilots a legitimate market, and they soon into a nation-wide group of air prop- senna, nce reaponcitie for such air- of the American people as exists Hundreds cf cities and towns had at least fone flyer who turned his war experience to Pursuits.

All he knows is the market. The world? Well, the market, or the office, or the store is ell he knows or can talk about. Thus an abyss opens in the home and the nation. Father is becoming a robot. He is kept, so this Englishman says, only for money making and breeding. What a life! Revenue and Appropriations (New York Times) Secretary Mellon is holding back the official figures of the tax payments on March 15, until he goes before the senate committee next Tuesday. This is both cautious and politic. By April 3 the tabulations of revenue should be full and exact, and the senators will be pleased to have the first official announcement made to them direct. Yet the treasury makes no concealment of the fact that the estimated surplus for the fiscal year is not going to prove large enough to warrant tax reduction to the extent provided in the bill which passed the house. Off that measure the senate finance committee will have to cut something like $100,000,000 on pain of bringing down on its head a veto by President Coolidge, The chief difficulty arises less from shrink- ing revenue than from swollen appropriations. The latter threaten to upset the balance of the executive budget. Already the surplus has | Do Sharks Like White Meat? — Ask Us Another WASHINGTON LETTER BY RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, April 2—There al- ways has been some conflict, small or great, between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government and argument has con- tinued in recent years as to whether one or another should have more power or less so that the system might function more efficiently. The one thing generally is that governmental power 6 be- come more and more concentrated in Washington, In this presidential year it may be worth pointing out that most of this added power has accrued to the executive branch —that is, to the president and his cabinet atid cther appointees. Congress always has had the power to do nearly any- thing for which two-thirds major- ities could be mustered and the judi. ciary has lately been for stealing some of its prerogatives in isolated instances, but execu- tive power hag grown consistently. When the federal system first started there were four inet posts—State, War, Treasury and Justice. Those since added are Navy, Postoffice, Labor, Agricul- ture, Commerce and Interior. All these are operated presi- dent’s appointees and responsible to him. jus, their policies are his policies. There is no control of the executive branch except as may be exerted oe Congress sufficiently hostile, metis Congress has been eaten into by bills carrying more money than wes budgeted for, and we are yet to learn what sums congrees will vote for flood con- trol, farm relief, Muscle Shoals and other measures lining up at the door of the treasury. The plain fact is that with every week that passes the likelihood of a large tax reduction diminishes. The public purse is plethoric enough to endure heavy drafts upon it, but there is a limit even to its capacity, and Pres- ident Coolidge is determined to sze that it is not entirely emptied. Congrecs cannot have it both ways. It professes to want a generous tax reduction as well as generous appropria- tions, but the “demnition figures” of income and expenditure show that it will have to choose between the two. If Things Would Only Last Longer! (Baltimore Evening Sun) Life would be so much simpler were it not for the natural tendency of things to give out. From early morn to dewy eve man’s construc- tive efforts are impeded by the dire necessity of restocking and repairing. ° If it isn’t tobacco, then it’s matches, and if it isn’t matches it’s the typewriter ribbon or the ink in the fountain pen, or the oil and gasoline for the car. Or it may be shoestrings, clean collars, stamps, resdy cash, batteries for the flashlight, bulks for the electric fixtures, washers fcr the spigots, coal for the range and wood for the open fire. The housewife’s problem is no simpler. She can think of the meat and two vegetables for dinner, the lettuce for lunch and the break- fast relish. But how can she be expected to measure each day the available home supply of mes been able to render the executive al- most impotent, but not Some- times he has ruled 8. The peeee Congress has failed to fol- low President Coolidge’s legislative desires, but has not ‘been antagon- istic toward him. It makes no real attempt to limit the executive power. The State Deartment may control rivate loans abroad, upset weak foreign governments in this hemi- sphere, refuse en t foreigners whose views it doesn’t like and cause intervention in Caribbean % ae Department d ie a can marines oe shoot and bomb Nicar- aguans, Haitians, Chinese and others without consent of Congress and can establish censorship as it did in Nicaragua. The Treasury Department handles hundreds of millions in tax re- funds with secrecy, delves into our private affairs by demanding in- come tax returns, regulates public morals through its prohibition and customs services and partially su- rvises health through the Public lealth Service. The Justice Department main- tains an espionage system which has in past times led to abuses and has other drastic powers used in recent years. The Postoffice Department can censor contents of mail and labels! on envelopes, which it does. The Commerce Department took over control of radio, and aviation, The other departments have im- portant and far-reaching regulatory or semi-regulatory powers. It’s not that any of the departments have necessarily usurped authority, but executive power and its patronage system have grown with the nation, which constantly presented new op- portunities or demands for its use. The presidentially appointed and controlled commissions such as the Federal Trade, Tariff and Inter- state Commerce Commissions, along with the Federal Reserve Board, |! must also be, included in the cita- tion. So should the fact that the supreme court’s ‘members are al presidentially appointed. It is interesting to observe that the two most famous rebukes hand- ed the executive by the Congress followed our two most serious wars. Woodrow Wilson and Andrew John- son were the victims, each being accused of pearing th8 rights of the legislative branch. In time of war this government becomes a virtual dictatorship As John Quincy Adams told the House in 1836, there are in the authority of and the executive, “two classes of , altogether differ- ent in their nature and often in- compatible with each other—the war ye and the peace power.

Lincoln, seizing the war power, had to fight the supreme court and later, Congress. His most far- reaching exercise of power was hi. Proclamation of Emancipation, ad- mittedly a war measure. When he attempted to reorganize the states of the Confederacy, he had to fight Congress, which accused him of usurpation. He might have won had he lived, but Congress to-k it out on Johnson, who nearly lost his job, Just as big men like Borah, eed, Lodge and Johnson blocked Wilson’s attempt to enter us in the League of Nations, so big men of the sixties like Senators Thaddeus Stephens and W. P. Fessend2n fought Lincoln and licked Johnson. Just as Wilson lost when the is- sue between the two branches went to the people in 1918 and 1925, zo Johnson lost in the congressiva! elections of 1866. Obviously, the post - war liquida- tion of the executive war power causes trouble, but some of the ac- quired peeetige and power of the [acteage is bound to adhere to the hite House. 2 Sage gg | IN NEW YORK | ————— New York, April 2.—The grim specter of poverty and want, either hidden from or ignored by the mil- lions who walk the luxury-lined lanes, frequently bobs up its horrid ead in a manner intended to startle and awaken.

MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1928 ENERVATION AND BOILS Boils are produced from causes both inside the body and from out- side infectious juences, When the body reaches a certain stage of acidosis, and the system becomes enervated through any bad habits, the outside flesh of the body offers a suitable soil in which the staphy- lococcus bacteria grow. A break in the skin occurs some lace, such as around the collar ind, or where the garters pinch, or a tiny scratch with the finger- nail, microscopical in size, will break down the epidermis, or skin covering, to such an extent that these microscopical staphylococcus find a place to enter the tissues underneath the skin, burrowing down into the warm flesh which contains material to assist them in mul’iplying. Millions are produced in a few minutes, and a whole col- ony is soon created, causing the skin to swell into what is called a “boil.” The swelling continues and fever is present, with usually great distress and pain. Such degeneration of the skin takes place that the boil will usual- ly open and discharge its contents. In some cases, when the boil is located high up on the neck or on the face, it is well to lance it be- fore the surrounding tissue is so permeated with the poison that the brain is affected by it. In most cases, however, it is wise to wait until the boil \:aks, perhaps en- couraging it to soften by repeated applications of hot towels or a} th: steady compress made of boiled flaxseed meal, boil with three or more openings.

I am no chiropractor, doctor, or follower of any one health method. I merely asl. your unbiased opinion.” Answer: The fact that practical- ly every State in the Union has a law regulating the practice of chi- ropractic is an assurance that there is a great deal of recognized value in this method of treatment. Chiro- practic is defined as the science of adjusting the spinal vertebrae with the hands by means of a specific rust. There is much difference of opinion about whether or not the spinal vertebrae actually get out of alee but there is no question ut what the stimulation given to the spinal nerves through chiro- ractic treatment is helpful in ringing about increased tone to those parts of the body which re- ceived the added stimulation. Question. T, M. B. writes: “Please tell me whether or not soft-boiled eggs are harmful to a person with high blood pressure.” Answer: One with high blood resgure can use a reasonable num- r of eggs in his diet.
