A MODEST DICTATOR
General Primo de Rivera, who has
been for many months military dic
tator of Spain, with the acquiescence
of King Alfonso, appears to have re
tained a modest estimate of his own
achievements, in spite of the great
power he has exercised during the
military regime.
Upon General Rivera’s return from
Morocco a few weeks ago, his ad
mirers in Ceuta and Madrid planned
a demonstration in his honor, but he
vetoed the idea-for reasons set forth
in a telegram to the mayor of Mr
drid, which in part was as follows:
“I beg of you not to consider such
an untimely proposal. The respon
sibilities I assumed when I undertook
to govern the country are still far
from being fulfilled. If I succeed,
the recognition of that success by the
nation and by the king is the only
adequate reward; if I should fail,
then neither grandeeship nor decora
tion would console me for the con
tempt of my country.”
This is the declaration of a true
patriot and comes from a powerful
contemporary figure, whose accomp
lishments in the face of surpassing
diffciulties give promise of a better
future for Spain.
NEW PROHIBITION DEAL
Colonel Andrews, the new prohibi
tion chief, has instituted a drastic
shake-up in the enforcement branch
of the service, whereby federal activ
ities will be more centralized and
more systematically prosecuted, ac
cording to recent announcements
from Washington.
'One of the important innovations
said to be contemplated in this con
nection is the divorcement of prohibi
tion officials from politics. This is
in itself a tremendous task, as it will
inevitably have the opposition of
many senators and congressmen who
have political friends already on the
pay-roll, with many others on the
waiting list.
Under the political system of ap
pointments, the inefficiency and cor
ruption of enforcement officials has
become notorious. Not that all of
them are inefficient or corrupt, but
because so many have fallen short
of what was expected of them that
discredit has been cast upon the en

It is also announced that more at

fenders—manufacturers, smugglers,
and wholesale dealers—while less ef
fort will be devoted to the petty

the big violators.
Effects of the new policies will be

ROUMANIAN WAR LOSS
When we think of the World war,
we instictively think of the losses
of men and property sustained by
France and Belgium. Perhaps no
one thinks of the part, played by lit
tle Rumania.
But listen to this: While French
deaths were 16 per cent of troops
engaged and Belgian deaths were
only a trifle over 5 per cent. Ruman
ian losses showed the tragic and pit
iful total of 45 per cent of fatalities.
Rumania had under arms 750,000
men, of whom 335,706 were killed
or died of disease, while 120,000 more
were wounded, making her a total
casualty of dead and wounded a frac
tion over 60 per cent.
In striking contrast is the record
of the United States, with only one
and one-half per cent of dead and
less than four and one-half per cent
of wounded, the lowest of any nation
engaged in the war.
The total number of United States
troops mobilized wTas less than 12
per cent of the total engaged on the
side of the allies and of these less
than one-half ever reached the bat
tlfields.
Yet, it can not be denied that the
timely arrival of the American sol
diers turned the tide against the
Central Powers and our relatively
small force, combined with the tre
mendous moral effect of our entry
into the war, was the deciding factor
in the greatest struggle the world
has ever seen.
EVOLUTION TRIAL IN 1884.
Few persons probably know or re
member that in 1884 a famous
“evolution trial” took place in the
United States, in which Rev. James
Woodrow, for whom his nephew,
Woodrow Wilson, was named, was
the defendant.
Such is the case, however, and the
trial attracted almost as much atten
tion in educational and theological
circles as did the trial of Prof.
Scopes in Tennessee.
Dr. Woodrow was at the time a
professor in the South Carolina Col
lege aid Theological Seminary at
Columbia, S. C., a Presbyterian
school, where he gave courses in
natural sciences as related to divine
revelation.
In the course of his lectures it de
veloped that Dr. Woodrow presented
the Darwinian doctrine of evolution
in such a manner as to conflict with
orthodox teachings supported by the
book of Genesis, so the fundamental
ists of that day had him tried and
convicted of heresy.
His nephew^, Woodrow Wilson, who
was later to become President of
Princeton University and twice Presi
dent of the United States, was indig
nant over the result of the trial, as
were the other leading scientific men
More mileape
the result of O
complete vaporization
It isn’t gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder and makes power.
It’s gas—air, mixed in the carbure
tor with gasoline to form vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car
bon residue on valves, spark plugs
and cylinder walls.
That’s why you get better mile
age out of “Red Crown”—and a
cleaner, sweeter-running engine.

Flappers should see it because it holds

The conviction was reversed later
by the higher Presbyterian authori

and afterward served as president
of the State College until his retire
ment in 1897. He died in 1907.
