Culture and Climate.

The busybodies who lcok after chill
dren's bare legs might as well under
stand that we have got to have cul-
tire and culture knows nothing
about climate. Culture originated in
Greece and never got very far away,
possibly because people north OF
Greece would not sacrifice comfort
for it by giving up garments of bar
barrie warmth, and people farther
south felt no need of any clothing.
Therefore. culture was limited to the
senia, climate OF Attica. Lacedemonia
and especially og Goectia. Even in
tina; favored land culture has declined
and people wear trousers and sckirts.
Culture is a matter of chitons and
pep.ums and sandals. Possibly one
or two elements OF the ancient Geek
costume, the draperies of real cui-
tire have escaped us. but propably
not for the items in the wardrobe OF
p cultivated Greek wker not numer-
Gus. All. take the clothes and let
the culture co. wrote Josephine Das-
KAN several years ago in some lines
entitled omar for the Ladies. At
that time tn eadvent OF highly cut
tured and therefore lightly clad fami-
ly OF more or less Hellenic character
had not raised the issue of the amount
of c'sthing consistent with true cul-
tire. But Miss Dasknm felt instinct
IL the astithesis between clothes and
culture. We are bound to have cu'-
turc regardless Of the difference IN
climate between Athens and Pniladel-
phia. and we can only have culture
by dressing like Greek statues--Phii-
adelph.a Record.

into commission. However. the local
built craft and her sistership are so
nearly the same size OF the most
powerful" that a comparison OF their
qualities when all are completed may
show that the latters title is not alto
gether secure.
In the matter CT estimated trial dis
placement the Utah Is heavier than
the Delaware by less than 1000 tons,
but II should be remembered that the
Delaware is considerably heavier
than Il was estimated she would be.
The U, IA is expected to develop a
sneed OF 20 "a knots an hour. while
the Delaware was built for 2l knots
and exceeded the requirement by a
comfortable margin without pushing.
All three Of the ships carry the same
number OF big guns-ten twelve inch
rlfles each--and their secondary bat
teries are identical. All three have
armor belts Of the same thickness and
design.
When il comes to practical service,
the Newport News built ship is liable
/ to claim that most powerful title
; at least until the twelve 12-inch gun
tyne materializes.

Happenings
Of January

The frst month in the year has al
ways been fateful one in English
history. but II began most specially to
be recognized as such during the reign
of Charles l. II was on January 4.
1912. that the attempt, was made to
arrest the five members. On the tenth
of the month. three years later. Arch
bishop Laud. was beheaded. and Jan
uary 30. i649. saw the kings own head
laid upon the block.
There is probably no act of parlia-
ment which has ever been the cause
of such amazing dissensions and dis
cord as that which brought about the
union between Great Britain and Ire
land. This came into force upon jan
uary /. 1901. Ii was in the same
month that Richard Trevithick. TIE
Cornish inventor. perfected the first
steam locomotive which ever moved
upon an English road.
The great William Pitt. the most
able prime minister who ever con-
trolIed the destinies OF the kingdom.
came into Office at Christmas. 1888.
and died in January. 1906. His great
rival. Charles James Fox. born in Jan
uary. I7s9. only survived Pitt six
months.
One OF the greatest boons that a ma
ton ever received from its govern
ment was conferred upon Great Britain
on January /. 1s4o-namely. penny
postage. Adhesive stamps had been
invented by Mr.. James Chalmers OF
Dundee. six years previously. and
these superseded Mulready's envelope

THE pErnaoNEmENT or MAN.

(From the New York Sum
When Nature first made woman she
unquestionabiy told her
Mans mission was to dominate, to
have her and to hold her,
She said that woman's work was just
to do the baby toting.
While man could be relied upon to
manage all the voting.
But Fashion came TO tea one day,
and while they all sat drinking
She locked so fascinating that she set
the women thinking,
Why couldn't they wear pretty clothes
and so about a-calling?
And now among their gods, the men,
there came q great downfailing.
The women wanted this and that and
mankind had to scurry,
And So they took to working graft
to get cash in a hurry.
And some were forced to cook their
food and some were downed com
pletely,
But woman's work grew easier and
each was costumed neatly.
Now man is On his uppers quite
the women have him stranded
They've shorn him of his primal right
since Fashion squarely landed.
OF nearly all his perQuisltes they've
gleefully bereft him.
And now they want the ballot box

Postoff.ce as Second-Class Matter.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER "a. 1909.
THE MAJORITY HAS NO REASON
TO BE ASHAMED.

Newport News is Inundated before
the State by the actions OF those
members of the common council who
voted last night TO retain Ernest C..
Cox in bis seat as a member from
the Second ward or evaded the re-
sponsibilltS Of taking a stand by alb
senting themselves from the adjourn
ed meeting called for the purpose Of
passing upon a resolution ousting Cox.
However. this paper desires to direct
the attention of the press OF the State,
as well as thatNof its own readers, to
the fact that ten OF the twelve mem
beers present last night-within one OF
two thirds of the members elected
voted AYE" on the motion u adopt
Councilman Waverly E. Jones' resolu-
ticn expelling Cox for misfeasance
and malfeasance in office. II is some
thing to be able t. say that major
ity of the branch put themselves on
recsrd Us disappearing in the most en-
phatic waypossiple of the Ccx's official
conduct. If the majority desires and
is not afraid to attempt to purge
the body Ct a member who has used.
or at least attempted 10 use, his Of
fee for private gain. there Is little
to fear: the actions of the branch viii
be honest in spite cf flaws IN the
personnel.
In view OF what happened last
right. il seems more than probable
that Cox will serve out the term for
which he was elected, and that the
ten members representing a large
majority OF all the citizens OF the
city. win be compelled 10 serve with
him regardless CT their feelings on
the subject. OF course II would be
jmpracticahle for the ten to resign,
syen II they were inclined to do so.
Most men would decline to occupy
seat in q body the majority cf the
members Of which had declared pub
llcly by their votes that he snouia DC
expelled FOR mslfeassnce and mis-
seassnce. bu; II is hardy probable that
Cox VIII tender his resignation. II
there had been within him a trace oil
the feeling which might prompt him
10 retire a. far as possible from pub
lie view now. he would have taken
the step long ago
whether OF not the two members
from the Second ward who absentcd
themselves and the one who voted
AGAINST Mr.. Jones resolution acted IN
accordance with the wishes o, their
constituents may not be known IN
IN the voters OF the ward are given
an opportunity 70 express themselves
at the pols. This paper is confident
ina, they did not carry out the
wishes Of a majority Of their conSsi-
sucnts. Certainly the First ward
member who was absent and the
Fourth ward member who v-teG TO
sux.ain Cox DID not carry out TIC
wishes Of the majority In their
wards.

LETTERS FROM

PRAISES FIRE DEPT.

Editor Times:-Noticing the
censure of the fire department for
alleged poor work at the Bonnell
block fire. ! desire to commend the
department for their good work
at the Star theater fire, in pro-
tecting teh property of the First
Baptist church. Notwithstanding
the whole east side of the church
building was fearfully blistered,
and at one time in a blaze, and
the window lights were all broken,
not q drop of water enered the
church building. The work of
the department was SO much APP
preciated by the members of the
church that a rising vote of
thanks was given them during the
services on Sunday morning-fhe
morning of the fire. I know moth
ing abotu the work Cf the depart
ment at the BonneIl block, but In
asmuch as you publish censure
will ask you to publish this praise.
We certainly have g very efficient
fire department.
Yours truly.

Getting Fun Out of Freckles

When is a freckle worth six cents? This
question has nothing to do with the age of Ann.
The answer is: frecke Is worth six
cents when 1t is on the face of a red-headed boy
who happens to fall into the hands of a gang of
financiers who don't know what to do to get
"fun'' out of their money.
The great railroads of Missouri are fight
Ing in the courts to increase the passenger rate
from two cents per mile to three cents. In fact
they have announced that they will charge three
cents and defy the state law. The state con-
tends that three cents Is extortonate rate.
The governor of Missouri, Mr.. Hadley, was SO
indignant at the brazen conduct of the railroads
that he went into court in person and argued
the case for the people. The courts are now
trying to decide whether the railroads shall or
shall not obey the written law.
The gentlemen who operate the Missouri
railroads had banquet at a fashionable hotel
in St. Louis the other night. They were desper-
, ate for amusement and as there was no Fatima
within call and one had invented a spectacle
to equal Stanford Whites girl pie these GENTLE
ment seized upon Harlow Rice red-headed
freckle-faced page. whose musical voice has made
him famous among patrons of the hotel. Harlow
is mere baby of boy, and the hotel people
high collar and he goes through the corridors
singing names of guests in a voice that Is sweet
enough to grace surpliced choir.
The railroad men seized upon Harlow They
plagued him about his freckles. He didn't mind.
And, true to the instinct of the hotel bell hop,
he figured that these foolish old men could be
made to pay for the fun they were having at his
expense.
How many freckles do you think I've got?"
Harlow asked them. There were all sorts of
guesses. "Well, how much will yer give me for
every one I'll count?"
"a penny apiece" said the chairman, very fat
and foolish. Harlow said it was worth more to
count freckles, and he bid the price up to six
cents. Then the railroad men placed the boy
before mirror, and the whole party began to
count freckles at six cents apiece. The musical
Harlow succeeded in checking off 902, and that
night took home to his ''mudder' the sum of
$54.12, which the railroad men were glad enough
to pay for taer 'fun."
It is possible that these same gentlemen
prefer to charge illegal passenger rate, not for
profit but for the sweet sake of amusement.

next morning when she wanted to
start the fire she found neither
wood nor coal.
When she scolded Dick, his only
answer was, '"I forgot" Many
times he neglected doing as he had
been told.
The only excuse he ever offered
was II forgot"
One noon he came rushing home
from school. or course he forgot
to wipe this mud from his feet and

all done, all except that central,
vacant space. There was place
there to write something.
"Joy and sorrow / am by thy
SIDE" he remembered the words
distinctly from the play. They
had made a great impression upon
him and he wrote them without a
falter.
The slip was torn hastily from
the others, slipped gently across
to her, and then he was writing
again, faster, more enthusiastical-
ly, more beautifully than ever.
The passion of his entire being
was behind it all.
''It Is never cold beneath thy
smile" He had remembered
that also, and he made it his own
message and it reached her the
same as the first, but he dared not
look up to see what effect it was
having.
For the third time he was fill
ing a piece of paper with the OBJ
jects of his imagination, inspired
with the substance of all his
dreams. This was to be the last,
he decided, and the words were to
be his truly own. The soft, ca
dent, ravishing music of the or
lchestra nerved him on.
"I love you," he wrote, forget
ting that the words were not new,
but indeed more ancient than all
of the others.
The pen dropped to the table,
and with both arms outstretched
he lifted the diminutive piece of
paper towards her. Her two hands
met both of his, for she knew in
what it all meant, and
she was kindly above all other
traits.
Same here, George" she as
|sured him, very bluntly but none
the less tenderly and earnestly.
He suddenly wondered how he
could ever have doubted her in the
least.
