WILL MAKE FIG HIT
FOR LOCAL OPTION
Church and Temperance Forces
Will Meet the Day Legislature
COnvenes.

TRENTON, Dec. 26;-The church
and temperance people of the state
are lining W their forces for a deter
mined fight to secure a local option
law from the coming session of the
legislature.
Tuesday, January 9,-the day the
legislature is to reconvene-a big
mass meeting will be held in this city
by the temperance forces. The
meeting is called for II o'clock in the
morling-an hour before the meet
ing of the legislature-and this is
taken to mean that the temperance
people will march to, the State House
in a body to impress the lawmakers
with the ACCESSIBILITY of enacting tenn
perance legislation.
1t Is proposed to ask the enactment
of a law making three distinct pro-
visions. One will be for townships,
another for boroughs and the third
for the residential sections of cities.
The desire is that each district may
have the right to decide for or against
saloons.
The temperance people are conf
dent that they will win out in the
fight, although there ia not much to

eral years ago a local option bill was
passed by a republican Legislature
and the following autumn the temp
erance people defeated the very man
who had supported the measure.
Promise had been made not to
nominate temperance tickets, but in
spite of this prohibitionists candi-
dates were put in the field and they
cut up the campaign so badly that
the democrats were victorious. And
the first thing the democrats did was
to repeal the local option laws. Last
winter Senator Childs, Of Somerset
%co"r+v introduced a local option bill
and this fall he was defeated for re-
election . ~7-
The move for the local option law
is headed by the Anti-Saloon League
of the state and is backed by various
church and temperance organiza-
lions.

creditable mental examination.
But he was rejected on the physical
examination because Of the crooked
resetting of the arm bone above the
wrist, where it had been broken
while he wps participating in a
football game in Lafayette.
"When objection was raised to
his arm being crooked they came
to see me in New Iberia and asked
me if | would have the Department
hold up the appointment, that he
would consult DR.. Matas, and if
DR.. Matas could break the arm over
and reset it straight the Navy De-
partment would be willing to ac-
cept him. Meriwether expressed
himself as being willing to submit
to the operation.
"He was so anxious not to lose
the appointment that he impressed
me as one who should be encourage
ed in his desire to enter the Navy.
"He came to New Orleans and
submitted to an operation while l
held up the appointment. DR..
Matas was very successful, AID for
a period of couple of weeks or
more Meriwether made weekly
trips from Lafayette to New Or
leans. Finally DR.. Matas dis
charged him, with his arm perfect
ly straight. Meriwether then went
to Annapolis for the. physical and
mental examination He passed
in both and was admitted to the
Academy.

There is report to the effect that
McGilvray and Thomas, the men who
were caught in the school register scan
dial, may be indicted for violation of
the school law, the penalty provided in
such cases being a fine of from $40 to
$500.
1t is to be hoped that the matter will
be taken. up by the Richmond grand
jury. The law in question was passed
for the purpose of preventing just such
grating operations as have been
brought to light in the State Board of
Education and now is the time to show
that no CRATER will receive considera-
ton under that act.
1t is hardly possible that either Mr..
McGilvray or Mr.. Thomas would have
the nerve to plead ignorance of the law
and if they can be convicted of viola
ton of the statute the extreme penalty
should be exacted. Virginians cannot
afford to have any brand of educational
system under suspicion and the grafters
should be promptly and effectively
warned that there is mo thoroughtare'
for them through the public school
funds of the State.

Dogs Are Honest.
Houston Post

hOustOH NOot'
"There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked a well-known local
fancier and huntsman, land that is,
you never saw one pant and wag his
tail at the same time. A dog is not
capable of double emotion. He can't
growl and wag his tail at the same
time, for it is impossible for him to be
mad at one end and glad at the other.
eff dog is glad to see his master, ne
will bark and wag his tail. If he wants
to get into the house, he will paw at the
door, whine and wag his tail, but they
are all symptoms of one and the same
emotion. But if his master opens the
door, he will cease to show anxiety i'm"
mediately by whining and will show
pleasure only by the wagging of his
tail.
"1n order to get mans temper one
must watch his eyes, but for a dogs
you have to watch his tail. The dog Is
likewise incapable of deceit, and hence
he is nothing of politician. He de-
ceives no one, not even his master. II
he is overjoyed every emotion Is indica-
tive of that fact, and his whole make
up gives ample testimony to it. If ne
is displeased or angered it is the same
way"

Causes of the increase In Suicide
American Medicine.

American Medicine.
Ill-health is becoming more and more
the reason given by many who commit
suicide. Last week well-to-do woman,
suffering from nervous dyspepsia, a
shameless term of the laity as well as
of professional writers, eluded her two
nurses, and killed herself in fit of
Idespondency over her disease. There
have recently been chronicled four cases
OF suicide owing to the passing of sup
pissed period of usefulness or working
age. The fear of morbidity or of old
age may itself easily become morbid,
and wise physicians are careful not to
encourage this disease. 1t seems clear
that the real cause of the suicidal era
upon which we appear to be entering
and encouraging lies the illogical and
senseless generalization of wealth and
success. In a generation when ill-health
has been reduced over 80 per cent, and
the means of healthy living increased,
if they were only utilized, hundred
fold, the despair due to disease is high
" absurd. The truth is that true dis
ease does not lessen the desire for life.
1t is the sham disease, the unnecessary
and imagined illness, the assumed in
validism, the diseases of the will that
naturally and rightly end in self-killing.
In the same way it is the false valua-
ton of the goods of life that brings the
bankrupt minds to prefer death to living.
Success, and the wild hunt for it, either
by means of money, or by means OF
egotistic ambition, begets in the crude
minds of poor imitators a sense of fall
ure, and they do not see that such ideals
of life are really false, that such ex-
pensive goods" are almost necessa-
rily cheap evils. Luxuryand fashion
are things to be cursed, not priced, Of
course, and where they are sought as
avidly as by US nowadays, there is no
logic can convince the failures that
suicide is blunderer's stupidity and a
towards crime.
