The News invites attention to
the voting contest which it has
just inaugurated. Full particu.
lars will be found elsewhere in
today's paper. Briefly stated,
it is the purpose of The News to
give three women in Lancaster
county round-lrip tickets, includ-
ing Pullman car fare, to the
jamestown Exposition, provid
ed at least 10000 votes shall be
cast in the contest. This is
purely a business proposition,
hence the proviso. There is lit
tie doubt but that the limit fixed
will be reached in very short
time, as it takes only 600 yearly
subscribers to cast the 10000
votes.
The News already has over
1000 subscribers, any one Of
whom may vote provided his or
her subscription has been or will
be paid when the voting ticket or
coupon is sent in to this office.
or course new subscribers will
be entitled to vote according to
the length of time for which they
pay in advance for the paper.
Payment for one year, for exam
pie, entities the subscriber to 100
votes.
There should be a number of
candidates in each of the three
districts into which the county
has been divided. Let them and
their friends get to work at once
and we will do all we can TO help
them along.
This voting contest plan is
now being run by a number of
enterprising newspapers, among
them the Winnsboro News and
Herald. Notwithstanding the
fact that it is only issued once a
week aud its number of subscri-
bers are only about half those of
The News, it has already receiv.
ed over 60, 900 votes.
AS stated elsewhere, after the
9th of June The News will pub
lish from time to time the votes
receiv I, in order that the va
rious candidates and their friends
may see how the candidates stand
in the contest.

The Submarines.

The tests of the submarine boats
at Newport have been interesting
for two especial reasons. They
seem to be giving pretty effective
demonstration that Americans have
produced rather the best thing in
this line that has ever been invent
ed; and, further, the remarkable
achievements of the Lake and the
Octopus suggest strongly that the
time is not far ahead when the sub
marine viii assuredly take a real
and effective part in naval warfare.
There was a good deal of bluff
ing" back and forth during the
Russo-Japanese war about sub
marines. Each side carefully al
lowed startling stories to leak OUT
about its possession of perfected sub
marines. But, while some Russian
officers have always insisted that
submarines were used by the Japan
csc in the battle of the Sea of Japan,
it is generally accepted that DO such
craft was used in any effective
fashion during that war.
But inventive genius is now max
ing rapid strides toward conquering
the depths of both the great oceans
that surge above the earth-the
ocean of water and that of air.
The submarine is nearing practical
utility as a naval factor, if, indeed,
it, has not now reached that point;
while the airship, in some fashion or
other, is certain to be more and
more used in war hereafter, even if
it shall have no other field of prac-
teal usefulness.

Burbank Sense.

Luther Burbank, that marvel of
the world of plant and fruit culture,
believes that he could, if permitted,
improve the human race. 1t is no
wild-eyed idea. From the wonders
of the vegetable kingdom he has
achieved to like wonders in the ami
NAL might not be so great a step,
after all. Surely the theories that
animate one set of great accom-
plishments might do for another.
With one of Mr.. Burbank's pro-
nouncements no one can quarrel,
and that is that proper environment
in childhood is needed to bring the
race to a high standard of perfec-
ton. In calculation of this thought
he says:
No boy or girl should see the inside Of
a school house until at least ten years
old. l am speaking now of the boy or
girl who can be reared IN the only place
that Is truly fitting TO bring up boy or
plant-the country The curse OF mod
ern child life in America is OveTeduca-
ton.
essential with heredity. There is no
such thing as predestined child-7re-
destined for heaven or hell. Heredity IS
simply the sum of all the effects of all
the environments of all past generations
on the responsive, ever-moving life
force
If only Burbank's advice could be
needed; if only every child could
grow up close to the kindly embrace
of the earth, amid the real gifts of
naturel No man whose boyhood has
been spent, even for little while, in
the country ever forgets what he
learned there or ever fails to look
back with a warming heart on the
things that have Influenced his
whole life. There is, indeed, the
real romance of recollection.
But as the world of work is now
constituted there is no escape from
the city. A little more of country
life is being enjoyed by the children
of the well-to-do, perhaps, and the
rich are certainly going back to the
soil in ever increasing numbers. But
the poor, the ones who most need
the help of Mother Earth, cannot
get it. Most of them would not
choose it, if they could. AS Evelyn
Nesbit felt "a long way from Rec.

young people it is also dividing their
interests. They are obtaining SO
much general culture that at twenty
one or twenty-five, when their par
ents had specialized, they find them
selves only ready to begin work. 1t
may be, and probably is, similarly
true that they have not then ac-
quired the power of concentration.
But it is hardly to be said of the
products of our schools that they
lack capacity for sustained attention
and original thinking.
The effort of modern common
school teaching is to develop broad,
self-reliant, natural, original person
alities. Teachers are everywhere
fighting against the old tendency TO
turn all their pupils out of one mold.
From kindergarten through high
school they are trying to seize on
the child's greatest aptitude and de-
velop thai But they have thought,
and thought rightly, that specialize
ton would better begin on a foun-
dation of general culture than pre-
clude such culture. If in fuIfilment
of that platform they have too far
divided the pupils interest, it is
only fair to say that, if the power
of sustained attention and original
thinking" ever reposed in him, later
years viii bring it to fuller useful
ness than though he had been put to
work after a course in the old
Deestrick school.

The Outlook for jamestown.

We of Washington have been, in a
sense, too near Hampton Roads. The
stories of confusion and incomplete
ness that have come from the expo
sition have struck us too much as a
peighborhood misfortune; for the
people of the National Capital have
had this Virginia enterprise close at
heart from the beginning. But Chi
cago is far enough away to have
perspective. So this from the Chron-
icle of that city, headed Let James
town Cheer Up" should have inter
est for us all:
We OF Chicago had enough experience
with worlds fair delays 10 warrant us
in bidding the managers OF the James
town exposition to he of good cheer.
fluctuations common to all managers OF
great shows. Let them take heart, and
they will come out all right.
As the Chronicle goes on to say,
the jamestown folks have had an
especially hard row to hoe. Their
money was withheld. The delay
thus occasioned was heightened by
slow delivery of building material
That delay, in its turn, was in
creased by wretched weather. And
the disorder which prevailed at Chi
cago and st. Louis was made to
seem. specially undesirable at James
town because of the presence on
the opening day of every nation OF
the globe.
This country is full of people, to
follow the Chronicles line OF
thought again, who have more
money than they ever had before
The jamestown exposition, with its
military and naval displays, it,
charming location, and its histori,

people as soon as the weather be
comes endurable and the exhibition

No Sunday Music?

After celebrating for several
days, Judge Bolster, of the munich
pal court of Boston, has decided that
music is not an inevitable nor yet
desirable adjunct of hotel Sunday
dinner. and. under the terms of the
Massachusetts blue laws, fined the
members of the orchestra arrested
to make a test case.
In other words, it is illegal, as the
law now stands, to furnish an over
ture or a potpourri or even a tone
poem with a steak or a course"
meal on the Lords Day. The es-
thetic may mourn this conclusion,
but it is sufficient to keep the
damper of silence on all other hos
telries until it may chance to be
overruIed by higher court.
II is TO be taken for granted, we
suppose. that the proprietors of the
test-case hotel will not be willing to
accept a municipal court decision on
a matter in which they are so deeply
interested. Very likely, unless the
proposed amendments to the Sunday
laws shall make il unnecessary, the
matter will get to the Massachusetts
supreme court. Certainly,.the coun-

In the Youth of DR.. Faunce.

Present-day young folks are the
subject of the following comment
from President Faunce, of Brown
University:
The young people OF today, as COM
pared with those Of nifty years ago are
chiefly deficient in power of sustained
attention and original thinking. They
cannot, or at least they usually do not.
think as clearly. as patiently, and as
cogently, as did their fathers. They do
not as quickly distinguish the irrelevant
from the pertinent, the kernel from the
husk. as the men Of the last generation.
They have an amusing fund of in
formation; they are wide readers OF
bright ephemeral literature they have
tasted every fruit of the great tree of
knowledge; they know a thousand in
teresting scraps; they are more versatile
and ingenious and attractive than any
other of the recent generations But
they are quickly led away by sOphistry,
and easily led to surrender conviction
when il connects with interest.
The temptation is to say in an
swer that the boys and girls of to-
day will bear every comparison with
their predecessors of the last or any
earlier generation. They are better
educated. They are better dressed
They take better care of their
bodies. They have better adjust
ment of opportunity between chill
dren city bred and those country
bred. As class, they lead fuller,
brighter, and happier lives than
their prototypes of fifty years ago
But the age has yet its tendencies
As it is making life fuller for Its
