FEAR AND ANGER.

Leigh Mitchell Hodges. In the North American !
On two mental conditions represented
by two very small words rests the huge
structure of human unhappiness.
These words are ''fear" and anger. {"
The deadliest and swiftest poison that
can be given themis reason"
Select the biggest fear you have.
Study its habits Anaiyze its life by
finding out the sort of food it prefers.
Some fears feed on money, some on
jealousy. some on hate, some on pride,
IL you cut off the food supply of q
fear. you deal it death blow. And
there is no such thing AZ real happi-
ness until all fears have been given
first-clsss funerals.
Try testing out fat. healthy fear.
Feed it up for a few days. Shiver every
time it frowns at you. and get pale and
cold when it promenades through your
cerebellum.
Dwell in the dread of direful days tc
come on account of this fear. Their
note with care and truth the days tina,
do come, and see whether or not your
care of and respect for that fear were
justified.
Ninety-nine times out of each hundred
you will be forced TO acknowledge thai
they were not justified. The hundredtf
time-when the evil prophecy is fulfilled
you will have to confess that if yor
had not let the fear fatten at the ex
pense of your mental and phys larder
you would be better able to meet the
situation and deal with it.
Anger is even less reasonable thar
/ fear, for fear is often fathered by ignor
ance, and ignorance is sometimes ex.
, cusable.
Anger, however. is just the pampereC

now NATURE DECelyEs US.

Our senses deceive US curiously at
times. A flash of lightning lights up
the ground for one-million:h of sec
ond. yet it seems to last ever so
much longer.
What happens is that the impression
remains in the eye or the retina for
about one-eighth of second. or 124, 900
times as long as the flash lasts. If on
dark night train speeding along at
sixty miles an hour is lit up by light
ming flash, it appears stationary, yet in
the eighth of second during which We
seem TO see it the train travels eleven
feet.
But we really only see it during one
milli0nth Of q second, and in that time
it travels only one-hundredth of an
inch.
When a mans leg is cut off, if the
stump be irritated, he feels the pain in
his toes. This curious deception is the
same as any one can practice on him
self by striking his elbows on the table.
when he feels the pain in his fingers.
VI course. In both cases, the pain is
felt in the brain.
We do not actually perceive different
distances with the eye, but Judge
them from various indications. When
our Judgment Is at fault we are deceiv-
ed. If you see person in q fog, for
instance, he seems to be much bigger
than usual. The same thing happens
when you see men or cattle on the tor
of hill against the horizon in the twi-
light In both cases you Judge them
to be further away than they really are,
and consequently they appear uncom.

In foundering around on the book
question. the Hon. Harry st. George
Tucker got into deep water the other
day in fredericksburg, when he said
Judge Mann had voted for the null
tipie list, which would compel the peo-
pie to pay an enormous sum for the
change of school books each year." 1t
is plain that Mr.. Tucker does not know
"where he is att on the book question.
Such hlqnder was particularly mex
cusabie, since it was made right under
the shadow of a Summer Normal, where
q moments coaching by one of the
professors would have spared Mr..
Tucker the modification Of such a
stupendous error.
Mr.. Tucker is a lawyer, and was for
some years a teacher of law in promi-
nent institutions of learning. If to any
one of his law classes he had submitted
the law and the facts bearing upon
Judge Mann's vote on that remarkable
resolution, and had interpreted that
vote az conclusive EVIDENCE of opposi,
ton to the single list, the class would
have been unable to control their
Fisibles.
We venture to suggest that Mr..
Tucker inform himself on the book
question. or else ego way hack and
sit down" until he shaIl find out
where he is at. Index Appeal,

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION
DAMAGING OFFICIAL REPORT,

The Washington Herald is authority
for the statement that the British Con-
suiar service diverts English immigrants
from some part of the South by the
statement that the climate is unsuitable
Tor white labor, save perhaps the
western belt of the Carolinas and
George, and that attention of comers
is called to the competition of negroes
in laboring.districts. The report states,
however, that the whole question of
Southern immigration is as yet in the
experimental stage.
This seems to be o discoqrsgipg as
pect of the matter, and deterrent to
the man of the other side who NAV
wish to come to America. Worse still.
the reports are stated to convey the
impression that the South wants white
men not so much as laborers as voters.
This advice. if the report be true, is
shameful.
As the Herald says. Such an official
report may make it advisable for
Southern immigration bureaus to in
crease their activities, especially in the
circulation beyond sea of literature that
may tend to counteract the discouragipg
influence Of q document having the
weight of governmental imprint.
While the sentiment of the Georgia
railroad men in practically shutting out
negro. .firemen from positions on their
engines is not indorsed, as seemingly a
step toward shutting out the negro
from honest labor. there is at least
another side to it. While the negro
may make an excellent firemen, he is
debarred, We are of opinion. by the
rules Of the brotherhood of locomotive
engineers from taking q place as engi-
neer. The result is that while he learns
to be fireman all right he has no op-
portunity to rise higher So, when an
engineer is disabled or sick, the negro
fireman cannot take his place as substi-
tute. but white engineer must be
hunted up, and not infrequently acci-
dents are caused by the ignorance of
the white substitute; whereas white
firemen are in an apprentice stage
towards an engineers place, and In
case of disability can at once serve as
a substitute. and, having been in this
school may be ready for promotion.
which the negro cannot be.

fLOUNDEaING IN DEEP WATER.

Mr.. Tucker says he is back in the
house of his fathers We are glad
to hear it, His alteration of eight
years was marked by some very un-
usual and Interesting excursions for a
statesman of Dem cratic proclivities and
training. The return trip was long
and trying one, and no doubt he is foot
sore and weary. Don't let's kill the
fatted calf until Mr.. Tucker has had
time to recuperate and explain. Per-
haps he would like to tell Us the de-
, tails of that little story about his filing

WANT TO MARRY THEIR sUPE RIORs

When a man marries, in order to
marry his equal he must marry a wo-
man with a vote. The argument is
that when man marries, in order to
marry his superior he must marry a
woman without vote. And the argu-
ment is strong one. 1t is just be-
cause men do not want to marry their
equals that they are ready to listen to
the voice of the great majority of wo-
men and not infiict the ballot upon
them. No sensible. ordinary, every
day man wants to marry his equal. He
wants to marry his superior in all the
fruits of the spirit. which are love,
JOY, peace. long-suffering. gentleness,
goodness, faith and temperance. None
of these things would be promoted by
giving women a vote.-Baltimore Sun.

THE MACHINE TRICKSTERs.
[Richmond News Leader. !

lHicnmona News Leader
lsn't "W. c. j." of Fork Union.
whose communication appeared this
morning in the Times- Dispatch, going
little too far and becoming rather
too rough when he speaks of what he
calls the Virginia political machine as
"a gang of political tricksters" with
headquarters in Washington? Gang
and "tricksters" are pretty hard words
and have significance distinctly criminal
and offensive. Certainly the great
majority of the men prominently
identified with what is called the ma
chine appear to US to be very respec-
table citizens. We cannot recall That
any OF them have tricked anybody or
stolen anything, Those of them who
are in office went before the people in
primary election, submitted their claims
and their record and were chosen by
the free and direct vote of the people.
IL they hang together and help each
other and play into each others hands.
It is no more than their opponents do
and is legitimate political policy.
1t is not right, in any condition, to
speak of number of decent Virginia
citizens as political tricksters. especially
in view of the fact that the power they
hold IS direct from the majority of the
white voters of the State. The ma
chine man who blindly and widely sticks
to his crowd or his leader simply be-
cause he feels that he belongs where
he Is. may be. perhaps, proper object
OF amusement and may fall far short of
the highest ideals and purposes of
citizenship. But for all that, he may be
very honest and well-meaning man
and there is no sense, that we can see.
in trying to present him before the
public as criminal or an outcast, The
less of that kind of talk we have the
better it will be for US. This primary
election will be over presently and we
may have tolerably tough job electing
its nominee. may need every democratic
vote and the close cooperation of both
the vague factions Of the democratic
party to pull through.
And after the general election most
of us must live and do business here in
Virginia and through four years we
ought to pull together for the upbaild-
ing, enrichment and development of the
Commonwealth in which all of US are
so sincerely interested. 1t is better to
avoid hard words and hard feelings so far
as we can and to remember the future.
Ii the machine men prove to be tricks
ters or incompetents or crooks the peo-
pie can be trusted to turn them out f
power. Until that time let us make
our fight soberly, decently and with
broad comprehension oftthe fact that
the man on the other side may be as
horest and patriotic as any of us.

TRY SMILING.

When the weather suits you not,
Try smiling.
When your coffee isn't hot,
Try smiling.
When your neighbors don't do right,
Or your relatives all fight,
Sure; it's hard, but you might
Try smiling.
Doesn't change the things, of course,
Just smiling.
But 1T cannot make them worse
just smiling.

THE PASSING OF THE VETERANS,

They are passing into the shadow. will
their crosses on the breast,
The knights Of Southern Chivalry, the
men who wore the gray;
They are passing into history, with faces
toward the West,
Where dies the ruddy afterglow tha,
crowns the warriors day.
The serried lines are thinner, growing
thinner, year by year
The high, proud hands that stormed the
guns, are white instead of brown.
Upon tbs cheeks unblanched by war,
there falls the furtive tear,
And the ranks are closed in silence as
time mows comrade down.
Soon the bugle calls resounding, shall
awake the days that pass.
Soon the roll will re-echo in the haunts
that once they knew;
But the clarion shall die sobbing low,
amongst the billowed grass,
And the roll call find it's answer, hid
beneath the violet's blue.
Yet the deeds they wrought in valor
shall rise upward from the sod;
Their prowess, born of rights of men,
give birth to glorious song,
Like incense from Valhalla shall their
faith float up to God.
And sacrifice blot out the night Of cal
umny and wrongi
They are passing into shadow. with their
crosses on the breast
The flower of Southern Chivalry, the
men we love to greet;
Bat they bear within their hearts OF
gold all we have loved the best,
Our sorrows crowd Of sorrow. and
the victory Of defeat.
