Reed is n Winner.

An overwhelming majority for
Stuart F. Reed for secretary of state
in the Charleston convention now
seems assured. In addition to the
several counties which have instruct
ed for him in convention and by pri-
mary election, Braxton county Satur-
day gave him sixteen friendly dele
gates.
There is reason to believe he will
carry every county in the first con-
gressional district, most all those in
the second, quite a number in the
fourth and he has invaded the third
and fifth with gratifying results.
Time spent by him in the southern
end of the state was not lost and his
candidacy there will receive the sup
port of many large counties large and
small alike.
On every hand there is plain indi-
cation that his nomination is now
practically assured, but several 9TH
er counties yet to select delegates will
be for him and there is no uncer-

A Biographical Lesson.

The Wheeling Intelligencer strikes
a keynote in the following, which
sounds the danger to mankind of a
too enthusiastic worship OF man.
through the recordation of historians,
who seek to portray men and events
from the viewpoint of their virtues,
without indulging in narrating the
ordinary characteristics of those of
whom they. write:
Some Democratic newspapers have
been thrown into a terrible state of
hysteria by the belated reports Of
Secretary Tafts speech on Memorial
Day. Suddenly thse devoted organs
have become the especial custodiansfo of
the fame and good name of U. S.
Grant and their anguish that any one
should arise at this late day to assert
that he was only human being and
not demigod, would evoke sympathy
If 1t could be supposed to be sincere.
The New York World, one of the
leading newspapers of the country
that does not share In this hypocrit-
ical condemnation, gives the common
sense view of Mr.. Taft's speech in the
following terse sentence:
ITO touch in propr spirit upon the
early failures of Grant Is essential to
any Intelligent appreciation of his
later career"
Wholesale and discriminating
eulogy of our national heroes, is quite
as injurious as unfair criticism. The
lives Of such men as George Wash
ington, Abraham Lincoln and U. S.
Grant are a. national heritage-per-
ennial fountoins of inspiration to the
youth Of our land. But their value
to mankind cannot be more effectu-
ally destroyed than by placing them
on a plane of superhuman excellence
to which the ordinary man can never
hope to aspire. The value of the les
son in every great life is that 1t be-
came great, in spite of the weakness
to which, we are all heir, and in spite
of the difficulties of which we all have
to meet. The place of U. S. Grant
in American history is fixed. 1t is
not endangered; and the indignation
of politicians, who would invoke his
great name to aid losing cause, Is
entirely artificial.

The New Footman.

Fun seems all the funnier when COM
ing from the Quakers, because it is un-
looked for and in contrast with their
usual sobriety. For instance, what
could be funnier than the method used
by Nicholas VAIN, a gifted minister Of
the Friends who lived in Philadelphia
during the eighteenth century, to NOR
tify the carnal pride of his wife? The
story is as follows:
The wife Of Nicholas Vain was an
only daughter, and for those days pos
sessed a very large inheritance. She
thought it would be suitable to her
wealth and station to have a fOotman
behind her carriage. This wish being
frequently expressed, her husband at
last promised to comply with 1t. Ac-
cordingly the next time the carriage
was ordered for the purpose of making
a stylish call she was gratified to see
fOOtman mounted. When she ar
rived at her place of designation the
door of the carriage was opened and
the steps let down in very Obsequious
manner by the new footman, and great
was her surprise and confusion to rec
ognize in him her own husband.

"Adcpt.'


From all the JOURNAL can hear it is
not sure that its expression of astoniSh-
mcnt last week at the recent reported
disclaimer of adept scholarship in gram
mar-the philosophy of language, by
two high-school principals, was treated
with ltvity or merely tolerance by the
county sup rintendcnt iii an address to
the local institute last Sd urday.
There was some play around the term,
"adrpt." defining 'quHlitications of
''teachers of grammar but whether of
question or criticism could not be clearly
understood.
In any event the JOURNAL clingN to its
contention that the principal of any
school should be eXpertly equipped 10
teach any line of study within the r. r.
ricuIUm of the institution which he
directs
Otherwise, how is he to learn whether
the proper work is accomplished by his
subordlnates? In the grammar instance
how is he to ascertain whether the spec,
ialist i'll that department is OF is not
achieving substantial lesults?
Hence, the term, 'adept,' and all that
it implies is one we'll fitted to Indicate

to try their luck at diamond digging
near ChriStiana. South Africa, but
were very unfortunate. All but their
last shilling having been spent in buy

to lie found to replenish the lardcr.
After considerable discussion and Won
der us to where their next food was
coming from, bright idea struck one
of them, who, stalking out of the tent
said. ".All right. mates. leave it to me-"
Proceeding to the camp store. he asked
for Il small bottle of diamond acid, in
which the digger cleans his diamonds
of Impurities before selling them.

but | intended sending you an order

Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do today" was the shopkeep-
er's response. Make your order out

your diamonds"
The miner acquiesced, and there was
great rcjoicings in those poor beggars'
tent when the wagon delivered that
order 1t is evident that the store
keeper thought the party had found
some diamonds, or what use could
have been the acid. After this luck
changed. and the account was paid, the
storekeeper joining heartily in the
laugh at how he had been done for the
time being-London Scraps.
