VIRGINIA CLEANING UP ITS
POLITICAL HOUSE.

Encouraging signs continue to come
from the Old Dominion. A month ago
a primary was held to nominate n
Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Second tNorfolkl district. Repre-
sentative Harry L. Maynard was de-
feated by William A, Young. The
people protested, and the State com
mittee ordered an Investigation.
Young and Maynard have both gone
down in the sea of corruption IN
covered by the probe. In more than
400 cases men who had not been near
the polls on election day had been re-
corded as having voted, either for
MAYNARD or for Young. Men who had
been dead for years were recorded as
having voted. In the second ward OF
Norfolk 6IS votes were recorded, yet
the registration shows brit SOC names,

new primary, at which delegates to a

AS a substitute for something worse,
the scent theAter is nc doubt good
thing. Standing alone, however, IL
possesses many features which tend
10 lower the standa. DIS and hurt the
morals Of our children.
The pictures themselves have, no
doubt, improved during the past two
years, but the theaters have in
creased in number. and their spring
ing up represents in a large measure
the waste earnings OF those who can
least afford II. In families where the
children are only half clothed and
hall fed, the amount spent in scent
shows would sound appalling TO rs
know boys, a large number OF
them. who, making IS cents per day
selling papers, spend twO-thirds Of
il IN these theaters- 1 know children
who, evening after evening. visit
these places. and are away from their
homes until the late hours Of the
night without the supervision Of any
older person, and without any knOWl-
edge on the part OF the parent, except
the statement that they are going @
the scent shows
You may say that this is due 20 lack
Of parental control and home conditions
and that is true. but these places, large
IN number as they are. easy OF access
to the homes. within the reach Of al
financially. serve as meeting places fol
girls and boys who, in many instances
would not be allowed by their parents
20 run the streets, but who in reality
do so under the pretext Of attending
the scent shows.

Pictures Not Good
For the Children.

So far rs NY knowledge OF these
places IS concerned, have never seen
an obscene picture in one OF them I
have seen pictures, however, which I
should consider highly demOralizing for
children. and, while not so hurtful, per
hbps. In their effect upon older people,
certainly have nothing Of upIfr in them
and tend 70 lower standards Of morality.
We have heard much said against the
yellOW-baCked novels, the Diamond
Dick and other stories, which have
lured so many boys from their home and
melted those of adventurous minds TO
deeds OF dangerous daring. but, in my
opinion, their influence is as nothing
compared with that Of the moving pic

had left many of the inhabitants in a
destitute or even starving condition.
Hungry crowds gathered at the wharf,
but refused to help unload the food
that was to be given to them unless
paid for their work.
A similar story sheds light on the
jamaican negro. Some years ago
hurricane devastated the island, and a
large relief sum was raised. much of
