the past two weeks during the ex-
treme dry spell OF hot weather we
have been passing through. If there
is any time when we really needed
the use of said city water for which
we are paying, it has been during
this dry spell. The disappointment
has been very great and the people
have made their influence felt upon
the city council for they took i'm
mediate action for relief from this
unfortunate condition At the last
meeting of the common council that
body to- prompt action in providing
a way that will help US out of this
dilema, at least we sincerely hope So
They are to be commended for TAX
ing this prompt step towards making
provision for more spring water at
the base of the sand hill where they
already have some sixty wells Many
of our people have gone to the ex-
pense Of planting shrubery and dec
Grating their lawns to add to the
beauty Of their premises. They have
also planted gardens at considerable
expense of time and money with the
full expectation that they could i'm
prove their condition by sprinkling
during the dry weather. In this they
have met with disappointment. We
can now look forward in the future
for relief from this embarrassment
We shall all welcome the change.

Ills case awakens sympathy be-
cause it is believed that he drifted
from speculation into peculation. -
News Item. Public opinion has the
habit of wasting too much sympathy
upon the speculator, upon securities
or races, who steals money to play
the game. That man has specialized
may explain his thefts. 1t does not
excuse them, declares the Louisville
Courier-J Journal. Gambling is vice,
not crime, and there are thousands
of lifelong devotees of chance who
are not thieves and who are not
tempted to steal to recoup losses or
get money with which to make new
ventures. 1t is no defense of gamb-
lers or gambling to say that the man
who attempts to make the existence
of games of chance or opportunities
for speculation in the stock market
an excuse for stealing money is Of
coarser moral fiber than many a pro-
fessional gambler or veteran hanger-
on at gambling places.

In deciding to retain Latin as an
essential study for the b. A. and M.
A. courses, the board of visitors of
the University of Virginia has acted
with wisdom that will be justified by
the future, observes the Richmond
Times-Dispatch. The great body Of
the alumni was bitterly opposed to
the suggestion that Latin be made OPP
tional, and that opposition increased
rather than lessened as time went on.
1t may be that the board of visitors
was Influenced by this attitude of the
alumni, or, as is moro likely, 1t is
highly probable that upon fuller con-
sideration the board came to the opin-
ion that whether viewed from the
standpoint of history or practice that
degree of the University of Virginia
signifying culture in its broader sense
should never be conferred without
some knowledge of one of the two
master languages of classical litera-
ture

they do away with unsightly piecing.

Antarctic exploration has never
seemed to appeal to the lay or the
scientific mind to the same extent as
its opposite; still, should we awake
some morning to receive the an
nouncement that the goal of endeavor
had actually been attained in that di-
rection we need not be unduly sur
prised, argues the Boston Transcript.
DR.. Frederick Cook made public a
plan for reaching the South Pole. and
as soon as he had the public little
interested in his scheme he started in
the opposite direction, apparently to
anticipate Peary, though what has be-
come of him is now mystery. But
it is possible that some of his sugges-
lions have taken root In other minds.
The steamship carrying members of
the Charcot exploring expedition is
now at Rio de Janeiro, where it will
spend several days and then advance
from port to port, taking stop for
final coaling at South Terra del Fue-
go and then passing on to Alexander
Land. Excursions by automobile
sleighs will be made to different
places in the Antarctic continent. The
South Pole is not the declared obiec-
tive, but should way Of reaching it
be disclosed the expedition would
make the most Of it, Such things
sometimes come by accident.
