The Plight OF the liar.

Is there any power In cunning, In
shrewd, long headed deceptive meth
DDS that can for moment compare
with the truth, with absolute integri-
~. There Is no advertisement in the
world. in the long run, that can COM
pare with that which comes from the
reputation of always and everywhere
telling the exact truth. of being abso-
lutely reliable. This reputation alone
has made the names OF some of the
great business houses in this country
worth millions of dollars.
Every time man deceives he knows
that he has to cover his tracks. He Is
always on thorns for fear Of discovery,
for everything In his own nature il
trying to betray him; but when he
tells the truth, because he Is built on
the truth plan. he has all the uni
verse sustaining, supporting. backing
him.
What q difference there fs between
the power of man who Ia telling the
truth and ~ conscious that he Is back
ed by the eternal principle of right
and justice, and the man who Is lying
and is conscious of 1t.
One can look the world In the face
without wincing. because he feels that
he is backed by eternal principle;
there is victory in his eye, assurance
In his very bearing. while there liz

Training in Agriculture.

A delegation from Maryland recently appeared
before the Senate Committee on Agriculture in
behalf of the bill introduced by Senator Dolliver
chairman of the committee, providing for federal
cooperation with the States in the encouragement
of instruction in agriculture, the trades industries
and home economics in secondary schools.
This bill was introduced in January and has at
tracted considerable attention but no more than
it deserves 1t provides that, commencing with the
fiscal year beginning July l, 1913, there shall be
appropriated "a, 100000 annually out of the Fed
eral Treasury for the instruction in agriculture
and home economics in State district agricultural
schools of secondary grades 100000 annually
for branch agricultural stations at such district
schools, to be administered under the direction Of
State experiment stations; 100000 annually for
instruction in the trades, industries, home econo-
mics and agriculture in public schools of second
airy grade; and commencing with the fcal year
he,iuning July /, 1910, 100000 a year for in
struction in agriculture, trades industries and
home economies in State and territorial normal
schools.
Some of the funds to be allotted in proportion to
their population, and some agricultural, in pro-
portion to the persons engaged in agricultural
pursuits.
Each State, in order to secure the benefits of
the Dolliver act, would have to accept its pro-
visions and divide the State into districts, pro-
viding each district for secondary agricultural
scho and branch experiment station, not less
than one for each Is counties
This is in line with the bill which Governor
Mann succeeded in getting through the Virginia
Legislature at the recent session to coordinate
activities making for agricultural instruction and
if passed will greatly aid the movement in this
State for higher education in this direction.
We do not stand for Federal appropriations to the
public schools of the State of the South, when
such appropriations designed to give the Fed
eral authorities power to direct the course of
education But as the bill is reported we can see
no objection to the Dolliver measure and we hope
that Virginia will join with Maryland in adyo-
eating its passage.

Assemblyman Jonn c. Hackett. OF

The Hidden Wealth of Florida

Through December and into the
early spring the roses bloom all over
this favored land. 1t Is hard for the
Northern traveller to realize that 1t
Is the climate and not the calendar
that Is reversed when he visits Flo
rida. 1t Is not surprising to find scat
tered through these many thriving
towns along the Florida coast thou
sands of weil-to-do retired merchants
and business men. who are spending
the sunset hours of life in a land
OF unequaled climate. There were
some few travellers who insisted that
this always afternoon" and lotus
land" suggestion did not suit them;
they enjoyed their few weeks sand
WICKED into busy November winter.
but persisted In saying that they pre-
ferred the snow banks and activities
of the Northland. However, when
asked, why do you not stay in the
North If you prefer it ?" they seemed
nonplussed for an answer.
Every side the trees were laden
with fruit and in some cases had
been propped up to enable them to
carry their heavy load.
In many places fertilizer has to be
used. but in Florida everything needed
seems to lie close at hand, and there
are great phosphate beds right In the
State. which are formed by the bones
of mastodons and other prehistoric
creatures known to US by name only.
Florida might be called the land of
hidden treasures" Tor here tracts
that look like bare coral reef can be
developed into profitable soil. Appa-
rently every inch OF Florida can be
made profitable II the worker knows

are not small feature in the profit

Blood stain. ON Her Hands.

On an East Side street young
woman sits all day in her room moan
ing and crying out to herself; as did
the Countess Kaya in THE Black
Cross" There Is blood on my hands.
They are red, l can never cleanse them.
I have -killod---killsd----"--
She refused to be comforted. The
memhe rs-of-he r-famlly=sher- mother

and sisters--have tried in vain to drive
away the girls dependency. Here Is
the story:
Recently the head Of the family went
out of town on an extended trip. While

SO one day an old man in wagon
drove up to the house and. in denance
OF dire threats from the members OF the
household, turned off the water supply.
AS he drove off the young woman
shrieked after him:

One week from that day the old man
died While- turning of tina water sup.

Texas Anti. Law.

Legislative ingenuity proved to be
more resourceful than many people
believed when the Texas statute
against dealing In futures was en-
acted, for 1t has put the bucket shops
out OF business in this State. Yet It
has not interfered with legitimate
contracts for the future delivery of
commodities nor with that particular
kind of dealing In futures known as
hedging" whereby dealers In the ac-
tual commodity insure themselves
against declines in the market be-
tween the date of contract and the
date of delivery
1t was feared that a law could not
be so drawn as to prevent dealing in
futures without hampering necessary
transactions for future delivery, but
the apprehension was not realized:
the statute has proved to be an effec-
tive prohibition of the demoraiizing
traffic in options.-Fort Worth Her

an occasional experiment which too
often fail0d

In the last two years we have heard
five or six operas by Massenet, which
had never been sung In this country
before, among them Samson and De-
lilah' and other excellent works, many
OF which have been performed In Eu-
rope for a generation.
At present the situation Is largely a
contest between the Metropolitan and
Mr.. Hammersteins companies for sole
domination. Each assumes that II ssoes
not care what the other does, but the
firing line Is always sharply engaged.
The result Is that we are having more
and better productions of opera. and
more great singers, but that grand
opera as an institution Is actually
making Roadway on a proper basis Is
not so certain.
1t is contended that a first class
opera cannot be produced under pres
ef1t conditions by the best artists for
less than $1,000 a performance. In
a sense, this must be matter of book
keeping, since many artists are paid
whether they sing or not, but 1t Is
probable that the figure Is fair enough.
A similar production In Europe would
cost fourth of that sum with the
same artists. Good opera is given In
Europe, where the cost Is not more
than $500 q performance. although, of
course, such productions cannot COM
pare with our high artistic Standard,

The Greater City.

The consolidation of the city of Manchester with
Richmond is pleasing to this paper not alone from
the fact that the Federal Census will show
larger number of inhabitants in the greater mu-
nicipality That is worthy of consolidation Just
SO far. There other and far more important
for happy and joyous spirit this ideally
beautiful day. Foremost among these is that
henceforth Richmond will have linked with her
fortune these splendid people whe have lived and
worked in and for Manchester. A people strong
in those homely virtues which make for all that
is good and righteous in citizenship, the charac-
terstics that have been the glory of this old Com
monwealth. Great changes have taken place since
Manchester first came into corporate existence.
Wealth has increased many fold, the facilities for
doing business have multiplied the Injuries of
civilization have increased almost beyond COM
prehension but in it all her people have held on to
the real thing upon which all genuine worth is
based-character. And so Richmond is far greater
in this citizenship than any amount that may be
added to her taxable values. Hence she is happy
to-day AS united people we will move on to
greater things not yet appearing and work uplift-
ing life or manliness and good citizenship

American Grit and Enterprise.

Only three years ago San Francisco was de-
stroyed by earthquake and fire. The tragedy was
enough to take from the population its courage
and enterprise. But the people of San Francisco
arc made of better stuff. The city has been re-
built and is greater and grander than ever. And
the people more ambitious They have put the
past behind them, and, but recently fifty Of their
number pledged to raise 100000 for guaranty
for the proposed Panama Pacific Exposition to
celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. The
thing would be incredible, except that nothing
seems to be impossible to the American people
When we think of San Francisco, of Galveston, Of
Baltimore, of Chicago. of Richmond and other
cities which were well-nigh destroyed and mark
the miracle of their resurrection, we wonder what
this country will be hundred or 80 years hence
when the grit and the enterprise Of the people have
done their perfect work. We almost wish we M ght
live to see the transformation.

wise in the warning that they sound for the against
the efforts of designing politicians TO use the Anti
Saloon League as political asset. The temper
ance people of Virginia and of every Southern
State have clear majority of the voters in each
State. They should insist upon a recognition of
that fact. They should demand that the liquor
question be settled absolutely apart from any
sideration of party politics 1t is emphatically a
question of morals and of conscience. 1t is no
more political question than is the matter of the
selling of poisonous drugs. There should be no
division the question the basis of party
lines We repeat therefore that the Ant-Saloon
League is eminenly wise in its refusal to make the
settlement of his moral question political issue,
Any political party that insists upon making q

fealthy will commit political suicide. The Demo
cratic party of Virginia has so far kept off the
rocks this question. The only safe policy for
that party to adopt is to leave it to the people
to settle il as to them shall seem best.
