LOCAL OPTION VS.. PROHIBITION.

AS is we'll known, Vermont has aban-
doned prohibition in favor of certain
form of local option. About the work
ing of the change Gov. Bell, of Yer
mont, recently wrote as follows: Il
am temperance man, and believe IN
prohibition, but under the local option
law in Vermont today we have great
er area where actual prohibition exists
than ever was while prohibition was the
law Of the State. The temperance peo-
pie of the State are pleased with the
conditions existing under local option,
and do not desire change back to the
former conditions. )"
The Portland, (Me.,) Argus publishes
this paragraph and, in commenting
thereon, says that there is a growing
sentiment in it's own State, the strong
hold of prohibitory law, that Maine
should be induced to follow the example
of Vermont. What stronger testimony
in favor of local option as affording the
best and wisest plan of dealing with the
liquor problem could be asked. Here
we have the evidence of an avowed
temperance man-nay Prohibitionist-
that local option has resulted in prohibi-
ton where it did not exist under pro-
hibition laws and from paper printed
in a prohibition State the equivalent of
an admission by large element that
prohibition is failure as compared with
local option. Richmond News Leader.
Yes, and the Republicans of Virginia
had plank in their platform declaring
for local option as the true and only
successful prohibition or temperance
measure. But the Democratic temper
ance people voted enthusiastically for
the man for Governor who was the can
didate of the saloon men, after it was
asserted and never denied that he had
made an alliance with the liquor men
before he was nominated at the Demo
cratic primary. All which goes to show
that with Democrats their political
prejudices are stronger than their moral
and religious convictions.

JEWELS ON THE SICK LIST.

Precious stones are subject to serious
changes. The discoloration which at
tacks them when they have been ex-
posed to the air for a long time is spok-
en- of as malady.
The influence of light makes itself
felt plainly on topazes and garnets. The
garnet turns much paler in short time,
while the topaz assumes darker shade
and even loses the brilliancy possessed
by it when freshly cut.
The most sensitive stone in this re-
spect is the opal. 1t suffers always by
excess of heat. Owing to its chemical
composition it is sensitive to all changes
of temperature. Pearls also deteriorate
very easily. Indeed, the only way to
keep them in good "health" is to wear
them next to the skin night and day.
Society women usually do so.

VlNOlCAIEDl HOW2

The Roanoke Times in recent edito-
rial headed, 1.-THE Primary INDICATED, ."
published column of praise about the
late Democratic primary in Virginia.
Among. other good things the Times says
about the primary we quote the follow
ing:
cit tends to elevate politics by max
ing it a matter of intelligent study
rather than of Vaccination. 1t tends
to purify politics by dehorning the pro-
fessional politician. 1t tends to dignity
politics by removing the possibility OF
machine or boss control, and lifting
party affairs to the high plane of the
peoples sovereign direction and man
agement. "
Yes, when people stop to think about
it the Democratic primary did dehorn
such professional politicians as Andrew
jackson Montague, Joseph E. Willard,
William Hodges Mann, J. Aston Gabell,
Samuel w. Williams and many others
we might mention. And then it left
the horns on such lamb-like fellows as
Thomas S. Martin, Claude A. Swanson,
]. Taylor Ellyson and William A. An
derson. They have er.made politics
a profession and they won't horn any
body, except those who do not speak
''the language of the tribe" They
never heard of political machine, and
the innocent little fellows wouldn't
know what such machine was intend
ed for if it were put in their hands.
Then, everybody knows that the DEM
ocratic primary elevated politics in the
recent general campaign in Virginia,
and made it matter of intelligent study
rather than Vaccination. 1t was so
elevating that the Democrats discovered
the negro question and made it the par
amount issue for the first time in Vir-
ginia politics. And politics became such
a matter of intelligent studysthat the
Democratic press discovered that gen
tleman, the Republican candidate for
Governor, who had heretofore been a
man of pure thoughts and pure life was
political degenerate, and that they
could so assail him without being con-
sidered slanderers. The Richmond
Times-Dispatch and the Roanoke Times
were the leaders in the campaign of in
telligent study-thanks to the elevating
and purifying effects of the Democratic
primary.

FOOTBALL REFORM.
brooklyn Eagle.)

Now that President Elliot is contem-
plating the abolition of football at Har-
ward and President Roosevelt is devot-
ing some portion of his tremendously
active intellect toward the regulation"
of the game, while Yale is preparing to
"do" Harvard on Saturday, as Prince
ton was done last Saturday at New Ha-
ven, and while Pennsylvania is still cele-
brating the humiliation of the Crimson,
it is well to inquire whether the colleges
could not draw as large gate receipts at
their annual contests if they substituted
the association game for that now pre-
vailing. Certainly, the association
game is faster and just as certainly it
is freer from the opportunities for slug
ging, mayhem and general maltreat-
ment that now too often occur. Foot
ball ought to evolve into something bet
ter than mere line slashing.

A FINE DISTINCTION.
Baltimore Herald.)

President Woodrow Wilson, in ad-
dressing the Associated Young Peoples
organizations in New York city, ex-
pressed himself with admirable felicity
when he spoke of character as by
product, remarking that one who was
constantly taking stock in himself would
waste his motive power in the process.
The evolution of character, rather
than the creation of character by direct
intent, is fine and worthy distinction.
There is so little that enters into genu-
inc life that comes from design that the
element Of direct purpose is inconse-
quential. The best results in character
are wrought out by a concurrence OF
many motives and restraints operating
in unison. 1t is refreshing to have this
brilliant university president lay full
emphasis on the ideal of life, rather
than upon forced effects.

WOODS FOR PAVING.
REVIVAL IN THIS FORM OF
STREET COVERING.
Experience and Research Have Con-
WINGED Municipal Engineers
of Its Superior Quail
; tiles.

Paving with wood, in one form or
another, has been experimental with
in the United States for nearly rs
years. The first experience was so un-
satisfactory that municipal engineers
for a long time looked upon wood
pavement with disfavor. 1t was quiet,
cheap and comfortable, but it soon
wore into holes and ruts, and the abb
sorption Of street filth rendered it I'M
sanitary, while the wood speedily de-
'cayed and had to be replaced. In re-
cent years, however, both knowledge
and practice have improved 1t has
been discovered that, with the right
selection and treatment Of woods and
the right method of laying, wood paw
ing can be made successful; that a
good pavement, like a good house,
must be built on a sound foundation,
and that both absorption and decay
can be prevented in the wood by prop
er chemical treatment. Consequently
a revival in wood paving has begun,
and many of the largest cities are
again trying it.
Few people realize the enormous cost
and Importance of street pavements.
Measured by the money invested,
street paving is probably the most i'm
portant of any single class of engin-
eering construction except steam rail-
roads, the amount invested to date
being estimated by a competent au-
thority as approximately $515,0OO, 900
for the United States. Wood pave
lment is now made almost exclusively
of one or two of the best construction
woods, and If 1t should become popular
the drain upon these woods would be
seriously increased.
The forest service wishes to ascer-
tain If there are not among the va
,rious cheaper and more abundant spe-
cies some which can by proper treat
ment be substituted for the more
valuable KINDS now in use. This study
will involve three principal lines of
inquiry.
The experience of cities which have
wood payements will be compared as
to the kind of wood used, the form of
block and the kind of construction, the
qualities of the resulting pavement and
the cost.
! Laboratory tests will be made, first
to determine to what mechanical quail.
tiles woods which have given good
service seem to owe their success, and
then as to what woods among or
cheaper varieties either possess or can
by given these qualities. The wear to
which a pavement is subjected is. a
very complex one, which it will be
difficult even to approximate in labora-
tory tests. The final test will be
actual service, but the laboratory can,
at least, give the basis for an intelli-
gent solution in place of an unfounded
guess.
Finally, the supply and location OF
promising substitutes will be consid-
cred.
The forest service hopes to make
its inquiry of direct benefit to the pub
lie. It is especially DESTROYS of COM
pleting a list of the manufacturers Of
wood paving in the United States, and
would be glad to be advised of any
such manufacturer with whom 1t is
not already in communication.

The Roanoke Evening World has also
made a bitter fling at us over the para
graph that so excited the wrath of the
Times Dispatch. We commend the
above to the consideration. of our Roam
oke contemporary. In addition we will
say to the World that it has displayed
such dense ignorance in its treatment of
political conditions in Virginia that we
would feel reluctant to go to it for adj
vice, if we were seeking and needed
instruction on the line of political moral
ity and editorial refinement.

TEMPE
AN UNSURPASSED SUCCESS.
Prof. Johnstone's War Song Concert
 Friday Evening.

The War Song concert given at the normal Friday evening under the di- rection of Prof James l.. Johnstone was a grand success in every respect. The attendance was excellent and ev- cry seat in the auditorium was taken before the program commenced and before its close it became necessary to carry in chairs to accommodate the audience. The program opened under unusually suspicious circumstances the weather was perfect and the cleo tric lights were burning brightly Or dinarily when there is an event of any importance at the normal the lights go on a strike for that evening or the weather is unusually demonstrative. Occasionally both misfortunes occur together and then there is trouble in deed. Friday night, too, was des Ei- ed to be no exception to the rule, re- gardless of the promising state of af- fairs at the commencement of the program. When it was half over and while the chorus was in the middle of a selection, the lights suddenly went out without warning. The darkness had no effect on the music. though. and when the selection was completed another was started. the latter having the effect of bringing on the light again, and consequently the audience was the gainer by the accident for they had the pleasure of listening to one more song than they would have otherwise heard.
