Sentiments in Headlines.

There is world of meaning in
headlines. Here are some from lead
ing papers, which give a good idea
Of what is thought of Senator Ken
mas speech.
The Pittsburg Post cxclaims:
"a Great Speech Senator Kenna,
of West Virginia, Speaks in Defense
of the Administration Completely
Demolishing the Argumentative
Fabric of the Green Mountain States
mana Speech That was Treat
for Both Senate and Galleries and a
Surprise to ALL"
The New York Star says; "Rout-
ing the Republicans. Republican
Precedents Sustain the Presidents
Position. Grant, Hayes, Sherman,
and Blaine Quoted to show that Gro
yer Cleveland is Right.-A Brilliant
Speech by Senator Kenna."
The New York Sun speaks out in
this wise: MIR. Edmunds' Incon-
sistencies.-Senator Kenna Quotes
the Scoring Mr.. Blaine Gives the
Vermonter in his Book
The New York World exults in
this way: ga young West Virginia
David assaults Goliath Edmunds
His vigorous defense of the Presi-
dents position. The batteries of
distinguished Republican leaders
turned upon Mr.. Edmunds' posi-
ton"
Even the Republican Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette exclaims with a
gusto: Blaine as proxy, employ
ed by Kenna in his answer to Ed
munds. How the West Virginia
Senator used Blaine's second volume
to polish the Inconsistencies of the
Vermont leader in the movement
against the Presidents secret
archives. Edmunds' claims against
the tenure of office act turned into
Democratic caDital."

The effort on the part of the vari-
Gus literary societies of Grant dis
trict to hold convention in the near
future, shows commendable educa-
tional spirit. Every society in the
district should exert itself to make
the convention success, and other
districts would do well to follow the
the example Of Grant in this matter.

One of the most pressing needs Of
West Virginia in an educational di
rection, is Reform School. In fact
something Of the kind should have
been established long ago Hun
dreds Of children throughout the
State, whose lives now give promise
of crime and outlawry hereafter,
might, with the aid of such an insti-
tuition, be saved and become useful
citizens. The outlay of money nee
essary would be very small in com
parison with the return it would
bring to the Stately. IA. School
journal.

A Literary Curiosity.


The Glasse of Time, in the First
and Second Age. Divinely handled
by Thomas Peyton, of Lincolnes
lime, Gent. Seen and Allowed.
London. Printed by Bernard Alsop
for Lawrence Chapman, and are to
be sold at his shop over against
Staple lime, 1920. Now reprinted
in a neat volume, Long Primer type,
bound in fine cloth, gilt top, beveled
boards. Price so cents.
The quaint poem, of the title page
of which the above is transcript,
appeared nearly half century ear
lier than Paradise Lost, and it is
intrinsically probable that it would
have fallen under the eye of Milton;
in any case there are striking points
of resemblance between the two po-
ems, and many have supposed Mil
ton S immortal work to have been
inspired by the former Only two
copies of the work are known to be
in existence previous to the Issue of
the present edition, one being in the
British Museum, the other in the
Bodleian Library, Oxford. The copy
IN the British Museum was purchas-
ed at a noted sale of old books in
1919, by Baron Bolland. who notes
upon blank leaf that it cost him
2lL lis. Cd, (about $ll0) Some
years ago gentleman of Virginia,
Mr.. J. l.. Peyton. sprung from the
old English family Of that name,
made an accurate transcript of the
copy in the British Museum, pre-
serving even the quaint spelling,
punctuation, capitalizing, and itali-
Ching of the original. This present
edition is printed without alteration.
Apart from its presumed connection
with Paradise Lost, the poem has
very considerable merits of its own,
and is in every way a literary curl
osity. John b. Alden, Publisher,

BY the death of Senator Miller, of
California, Republican, the Senate
of the United States will contain one
more Democrat. The Governor of
California is Democrat and, as the
Legislature of that State is not in
session, he will appoint a successor
to Senator Miller. When the Cali
fornia Legislature meets next winter
a Republican will probably be cho-
sen, as that body has Republican
majority. With the temporary
change the Senate will stand Repub-
licans, Al; Democrats, 35, giving to
the Republicans Malone and Riddle
