Fight May Be Renewed.

for the discussion or the case In point.
Fight May Be Renewed.
While there was considerable harmony
and unanimity in the elections, follow
ing the defeat of the Priddy faction,
there is good reason to believe that the
fight will be renewed before the end of
the next scholastic year. There have
been several changes in the board this
year. and some of the strongest Barring
CT men have been retired, some declining
to serve again. 1t is not known. how
ever, that the new appointees are OPP
Yosed to DR.. Barringer.
Mrs. Mary f. Hodges of Norfolk, aged
sixty-nine, has applied to the state teach
ers' pension bureau for retirement For
fifty-one years she has been engaged in
teaching in one school in the city of Nor
folk, and in that time she has given the
first educational training to men who have
become famous in the state. Her record
is remarkable In many respects, she nav
ing been present at her school every day
for a period of twenty-eiPht consecutive
years. She began teaching when she was
eighteen years old, when she left college,
and her chosen work has been one which
has made her hundreds OF friends in every
walk of life. In her old age she wants to
retire, and because of the poor pay given
to teachers generally she has not accu-
mulated much of the worlds goods.
Daring Escape From Jail.

horse in Amelia county, has made his es-
cape from the county Jail and is at large
He sawed the bars of his cell and made a
getaway that surprised the officers. The
officers have offered a reward for his
capture, and they expect to be able to re-
turn him to Virginia in a short time. Ii
IS believed that he has gone to Washing

real estate men and others have been
served with notice to appear in court
and show cause why they should not
be fined for not paying attention 10
the laws of the state and paying their
taxes and license fees. The tax fs not
large, and failure to pay is believed to
be due to negligence on the part Of the
grand jury and given hearing in
court Because Of their dflatory tao
tics they will have to pay the costs In
the cases, which will amount TO more
than the taxes imposed by law. The
list this year is larger than for some

Uses for Big Warships.

He says
Why should we incur all the risks and

conjoint operations on the German shores
! Of the North sea and Baltic without any
hope of adequate return, when by station

pa Flow and the Straits of Dover We can
exercise a more effective pressure, incur
fewer risks and compel the Germans, II

! potent strategic embrace, to cross the
North sea and challenge us at home?

to keep out OF harms way and leave the

The value of Col. Repington's article
lies i'm the fact that il appears in popu
lar magazine and will reach far wider
circle of readers than the professional
journals do. As he says, most erroneous
ideas prevail both among writers on
naval subjects and amoung the public
as TO what shape future naval war Will
take. 1t is due to these mistaken ideas
that the invasion scare has made so
much headway, and il is we'll that the
country should understand the new situa-
ton which has been created, and that
the naval authorities quite well realize
it. and have for sometime made their
preparations accordingly.

PERIL OF SUBMARINES
DESERTED WATERS IN WAR
WHERE CRAFT ARE FACTOR.
Battleship Work at Sea-Shallows
No Place for Big
Vessels.

LONDON, June 1S.-In the current is
sue of Blackwoods Magazine Lieut.. Col.
A Court Repington, military writer,
has turned his attention to naval mat
tiers, and has an article, which he calls
THE Submarine Menace which is at
tracing considerable attention.
The naval correspondent of the New
York Herald wrote for the European edi-
ton issue for January IL last as follows:
1T is becoming more and more certain
that. with the increased radius of action
of torpedo craft and the probable extern
sive use of floating mines. the earlier
phases of any future naval warfare will
not admit of the use of battleships in
narrow waters or i'm the vicinity Of an
enemy's ports.
ION the other hand. speedy cruisers,
destroyers both for work OH the nigh
seas and in shoal water. with subma-
rines, will be needed in increasingly large
numbers by the dominant power
1T is more than probable that there
will be considerable developments at Sea-
pa Flow, in the Orkneys. which, with
Dover appear likely to form the real
basis of the home fleet. and which are
eeogra phically and strategically well SUIT
ed for keeping watch and ward upon the
North sea-
Repington Sees Waste of Waters.
Col Repington, in his article. develops
the same idea. He thinks that the North
sea falls within the category Of narrow
waters, which eventually must become
practically closed on the outbreak of war,
and possibly throughout the war, TO the
operations of the larger battleships ana
cruisers.
From this text he argues that If we
permit Germany to build more destroyers
and submarines than We do, or II We fail
to supply an answer to this menace. Inc
North sea in time of war will be desert
Of waters, insecure to both sides, open
to neither, commanded by none.
The question pertinent to such state
of things he puts thus, Britannia may
rule the waves, but who will rule above
them and below"
II is to be noted at present, SO far as
regards torpedo craft. those of Great
Britain are in the proportion TO those OF
Germany of about three to one. while so
far as submarines alone are concerned
the proportion is eight TO one. The dan
ger does not therefore appear 10 be I'M
minent.
Germany launched her first submarine
in August, 1905. and her second TWO years
later She is believed to have now eight
i'm commission or under trial. and five
building. while in design and dimensions
the latter boats approximate TO the Brit
ish CO.. class.

seeking Way Out.

The congressional committee is TO meet
soon, and it is felt that If some con-
venient way for getting out of the COM
plication can be devised 1t will be utilized.
The Hubbard-Lehman members contend
that the committee had right to name
date for the congressional primary
in Marion county, where there was a
miXup.
This is practically their only conten-
ton now. If they insist on recognizing
the vote on their date, and such recogni-
ton is vital to deciding the nomination,
it will be highly optimistic republican
who can take cheerful view of the next
9Th of November.
Democratic Situation.
A few democratic counties have named
local tickets Nothing big has yet been
pulled off. y state law requires all NOM
nations to be made between May - and
August -, hence there is yet time.
Half a dozen suggestions have been
made for the congressional ticket to op-
pose Sturgiss in the second, with the
chances favoring w. G. Brown of Pres
ton, better known Junior Brown,
who once ran to defeat against Dayton.
There is some talk of Scott Withers
against Representative woodward in the
four!
Little likelihood of success in the third
and fifth accounts for the silence. In
the first the democrats are awaiting the
Ogden-Carrigan outcome. No names are
mentioned, except casual reference to
E. l.. Robinson of Wetzel. James Robin
son of Harrison, Charles Powell OF Mari
on, j. b. Handlan and John G. NaylOr
of Ohio. and Henry Zlliken of Brooke.
Hubbard at last has the Endorsement
of one republican county, Hancock, the
extreme northern tip of the state, and
the reasonable assurance of the election
of the legislative nominee. Capt. John
Porter. He carried Monroe previously,
but it is perennially democratic.
Abe Lilly is putting up a stiff battle
for the congressional nomination against
Jim Hughes and threatens an independ-
ent race, if defeated. 1t looks now as il

mated over s. B. Avis. his young COM

PROF. VAN HISE
 PRAISES PINCHOT

St Louis, January 9.-(Special.)- '-The name of Clifford Pinchot will be remembered and honored by men for thousands of years when many men will have been forgotten"
 This closing statement of the address of President Charles R. Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin, before the Contemporary club at the Buckingham hotel here last night brought forth great applause from his auditors The sub ject of Dr. Van Hise's address was Conservation of Our Resources" and praise of Theodore Roosevelt and his conservation policy was contrasted with what President Van Hise called the destructive work" of the present administration. He said Roosevelt withdrew from private grant all water sites on public land. This act has been declared illegal by the present admin istration. If that withdrawal Is illegal 1t ought to be made legal. Does the de- claring of this withdrawal illegal mean that If the present Congress at this session does not pass laws govern ing the water rights that they will again be thrown into the private grab bag? If it does the people will never have their water"

FIRM OPPOSITION
 TO SHIP SUB. .IDY

Kansas City, January 9.-CongressmRn Henry T. Rainey, democrat, of Illinois declared strongly against the ship sub sidy and insisted that present shipping regulations handicapped American ship owners. He said in part:
 For the 8 years since the ship sub sidizing period came to such an abrupt and inglorious end in this country, we have had no ship subsidies Notwith- standing the scandals of third of a cen tury ago, the millionaire mendicants have never ceased their assaults upon the na- tional treasury. With outstretched hanus they are still begging with more inn portunity than ever, until the party in power has pledged itself to this infamous doctrine.
 There is now only one way in which an American citizen can become the own CT of vessel and sail her under the American flag. He must build her in an American shipyard or he must buy one that has already been built in an Amer jean shipyard. In other words, he must pay tribute to the trusts.
 "Such regulations as these belong to the middle ages. The Hanseatic league was organized and struggled for 300 years against it. Such laws belong to ue era in history when piracy was considered an honorable vocation.
 In order to become first on the seas we ought to adopt the methods adopted by England so many years ago. Repeal our useless navigation laws; give us free raw material for ships give American capital and American manhood an oE- portunity and this great industry will sooh attain its proper proportions. Give Amer ican laborers a chance and the time Is not far distant when our merchant ma- rine will be second to the merchant ma rine of no other country In the world"

CT force of character than is usually att tributed to the proverty haunted resi- dents of the city. If they could over way of a migration to the farm, they would be capable of making pretty good living in the city under ordinary circum- stances.
 What, then, Is the remedy? Certainly not the labor colony, excepting for pe- culiar class and for peculiar times The labor colony probably has it's place in our economic life under the present sys- tenn. Nor yet shall it be found in the wholesale transfer of the citys poor to farm colonies. Many will, undoubtedly find their way to the country, and there discover nfe and joy in the open air. But the vast majority will remain in the city. And since they are to remain there, they must be dealt with as citizens of our municipalities. If their lives are unreal, they must be trained to learn the true values. If they are living under condi- tions which debase and degrade, morally and physically, those conditions must be removed. so that even life in a tenement may be made sweet and wholesome. If they are In their present situation be- cause of inefficiency. they should be made more competent. In any case. the light will be lost Or won in the city We cannot shift the responsibility. The prob lem is ours. It is ours, whether we ac- cept 1t or not, for the veal or tho woe of every man in the city helps to consti- tute the life and the thought of the world.

The "Ayes' Have It.

From the National Magazine.
 When 8 old story is found circulating in new coat in the cloak room, with sug- gestion of having been made over.' 1t is called by the ways "a vanished yarn.'
 Such story, glistsning with modern shellae, is told of . secretary of the treasury who some years ago was impor- tuned by young lady on behalf of congressman to whom she acted as sec retary. The gentleman was absent. and some important business had come up concerning one of his best constituents. The secretary had very gallantly explain ed to his visitor that he could not possi- bly comply with her request, and had arisen to his feet as . gentle hint that time was flying.
 The young lady persistsntiy urged her point, and threw her whole soul into an eloquent appeal, but the secretary re- mained undaunted. Then she made a final effort, and turned upon him the ir-- resistible battery of her handsome black eyes; the secretary was impelled to look at her. and unfortunately hesitated in his( sentence.
 .T don't see how could possibly do what you ask" he was saying firmly, when the eye-artillery turned upon him, but those eyes of yours-
 He never finished his sentence: she arose from her seat, and as she swept from the room said: '"rhe eyes (ayes) have it. thank you. sir. The victory is with the affirmative. Good day"
