DR.. Kingsbury, editor of the Will

Vadls," the popular book which has
been so much admired and commend
ed by some, is SO offensive to morality
and SO descriptive OF lust that it has
been roundly denounced by many OF
the foremost journals and newspapers
as unfit for family reading. He adds

Apology is hardly necessary for not

A newspaper correspondent writing
from Washington has directed atten-
ton to the fact that out of total of
ninety men in the United States Sem
ate thlrty-two are veterans of the civil
war. This is rather remarkable when
1t is remembered that that war ended
generation ago.
The House also has a large percent
age OF war veterans, despite the rush
Of Younger men into political life.
Reflection on these facts causes one
to feel like America is good country
to be born in and that chances here are
for long life. It shows also a vigorous
race OF people.

In the meeting of the State Epworth
League OF Virginia in Norfolk some
days ago, Rev. G. w. Dyer, OF Cabell
Street Methodist Church of Lynch
burg, spoke on the subject: 'Allena-
ton of Wage-workers from the
Church" The speaker took the posi-
ton that wage-earners are being alien
ated from the church because the
church is drifting towards wealth and
culture. The allegation was serious
one, and raised little breeze amongst
some Of the other ministers.
Those who disagreed said the state
ment was misleading and calculated to
do harm to the church, and that
larger number Of professional men pro-
portionately stay away from church
than wage-earners. It is a subject
worth the attention Of all the denom1-
nations.

Perhaps the most farcical thing
about Governor Russell's administra-
ton has been his continual nagging at
the railroads. He seems to haYe a
mania for worrying after railroads.
President Warren G.. Elliott D1ade a
most telling argument before the Rail-
road Commission last week on the pas
senger rates. Perhaps no attorney for
or AGAINST the railroad made clearer
argument. .
THE CoMMoNwEALTH believes that II
the Commission is going to pester the
railroads about reduction OF rates. the
first reduction ought to be made on
freight rates.
IT is presumed that when man
travels on the railroads he goes on Dusl-
ness or pleasure. If on business IL IS
presumed also that it pays him to make
the outlay for travel If for pleasure, II
~ a matter OF choice as to now ne
spends his money.
Now, not many persons travel on the
railroads at all-perhaps not one per
son in ten puts foot upon a railroad
train once a year. The reduction o.
passenger rates, then, is matter tnat
CONCERNS only few, while reductlon
on freight rates would touch every per-
sons interest, and especially the poor
We believe the Commission ought te
noke reduction on freight rates first i

Last week the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Norfolk, Va,
presented that city with free ice
water fountain, erected at the corner
of Commercial Place and Main street.
The fountain will be supplied daily by
ice which will enable any one passing
to. get cool drink at any time Of day,
and even we'll into the night.
Say what you may about "crankey
societies." and slur as you may at
women's public service, but such work
as placing an ice-water fountain On the
principal street Of the city in the hope
that its cooling draughts will keep
many a poor thrist-burnt wanderer from
places of temptation, is in keeping
with the spirit of the love which God
delights to see in his people.
And what seemed a serious reflection
on the city of Norfolk, not an official
of the city was at the dedication exer
clses to receive the fountain.

PROFESSOR STANLEY'SADDRESS
Talks on the Education or Farmers
Children.

At the Harvey County Farmers institute
at Newton Tuesday. President Stanley. OF
the Friends university at Wichita deilv-
cred masterful address on 'The Educa-
ton of Farmers Sons and Daughters.
He said in part:
IL think l know something Of the advan-
tages of being raised on farm. lived on
one for nineteen years. The farmer boy
thinks he is missing all opportunities OF
an education lie has an idea that all edu-
cation is from books. He fails TO see that
all about him is means of an education.
Abraham Lincoln. the rail splitter. learned
more lessons than many boy within the
four walls of the school room.
Tho city boy needs just such training
as the farmers boy gets. The country boy
always has the opportunities for employ
ment This fact. that he IS always en-
pioyed is a help in his training | believe
that il would be better IT, in the cities,
there was one-third less school with III
crease in work the boy has to do.
THE country boy gains an advantage
from employment in useful service that re-
quires his decision. He thinks for himself
and gains strength from this effort The
question is not how much Latin and math-
ematics do you know. but how much men
tai power have you attained by this study.
"The citizen is a demand of the state:
the making of a citizen the purpose of the
school; public education to make ideal cii-
zens.
From farmers standpoint school ed
ucation seems unnecessary for girl or
boy who expects to stay on the farm. One
cause for this belief is the tendency OF the
educated boy 10 leave the farm to find
some line that suits his taste better This
is a mistaken idea. A proper education
fits the boy for his life work. A good lib
raj education is the best foundation upon
which 10 build the special line.
Professional life is not enucing the boys
away but rather the farm IS driving them
away But today. the advent OF modern
conveniences IS making the farm more at
tractive. The young people should be sur
rounded with advantages in the farm
home that they find in the city home. The
needs of rural district are a good church
organization. a good school and a good IL
brary. all Of which are within reach OF the
