OF THE CHURCH. nur NOT IN 1T.

BY vote of ISIS to "A the Methodist
decided that the women should not
have the rights of the laity in the
Church. The Womans Home Mission
Society respectfully memorialized the
Conference for this privilege. A ma
5ority of the committee on revisal re-
ported non-concurrence; a minority
recommended such changes in the Dis
cipline of the Church as would include
women In all references made to lay
men. The question was discussed all
morning Thursday. The most effective
speech was made by woman, Miss
Belle Bennett, Secretary of the Home
Mission Society. 1t was the first time.
we believe. woman had spoken be-
fore the Conference, and, strange to
say, the Conference permitted it. and
after she had finished did not appear
to have been very much injured by
anything she said or suggested. Hav
ing given her the floor to plead her
cause, and thus having consented in
sense to the fitness of woman for
speaking in the highest council of
the Church, the Conference refused
her plea the reasonableness of which
1t had already admitted The Confer
ence further confessed its inconsist-
Z ency by placing ten women on the
missionary board of the Church, sc
that while the women did not gel

in the Church and what they are doing

THE COLONEL Knows now.

The Colonel knows both how to be
satasoa and how to abound. He knows
how to conduct himself when the
GREATNESS nations wait upon his worh
he knows how to behave when thou-
sands of loyal Americans cheer then'-
selves hoarse at his speeches about
nothing under the sun: he knows how
to bear his honors when the sorbonne
gives him new degrees and the uniVer-
sity of Berlin hears him say that TWO
and two are four. Yet when he has
10 stand in the background. While
others press to the fore, he is modestS
itself. When royalty throngs about
the bier of Englands dead Lord and
forgets the Colonel he bears his bur-
den in patience and clothes himself
with humility AS with a garment.
The unbeieving may say what they
will. but the Colonel was the real hero
at the funeral yesterday. He was
modest, he was earnest, he was sin
cere. He did not shed tear too plany
or heave a sigh too few. He did not
wear his khaki brooches. and he left
his sombrero on the nail behind his
door in his room at the hotel. one
would not have known from his quiet
grace and simple charm that he was
the Forgotten Hero--the real, the only
Colonel. He was propriety itself, ana
that is the highest praise that can be
bestowed upon him,
The Colonel is too much of gem
tleman to complain, especially at what
orgies" and consequently President
Taft will not be called on to ask an
explanation of the insult offered dur
ing the funeral: but all those in this
they see one will be cut to the quick
when they read in The Times Dispatch
that the Colonel was In the eighth
carriage. To man, the great Amerl-
can people will rise in their might and
protest when they read the list of
so-calicd notables who were before
the Colonel in the funeral coterie. OF
course there can be no objection &c
giving the royal family precedence
not because of their worth, but becaus,

2 ers: but there will be objection, ma
tional objection, to putting sma

ONE KIND OF A PRIMARY LAW

This morning a number of poll
ticians we're discussing the Direct
Primary Law in front of the
Arlington Hotel, when Dick Miner,
the attorney. remarked:
"The kind of direct primaries we
had in the south after the war
were the most simple and effective
and direct that ever we're. They
couldn't be beat by any system |
have everlseen since.
How did you run EN-? asked
Charlie Sprague.
well, you see, a man had to
have a war record to get on a
ticket. OF course every man had
a war record then a yard long, but
after a while it took something
more than a mans street and bar
room talk to make a war record.
We finally adopted the system of
chucking the rival candidates on a
pair of scales and the man with
the most union lead in 'em got the
nomination Appeal.

PROMISES TO PAY

There is a charming irresponsi-
bility about debt,-if creditors are

own or our descendants earning
power.
Collectively, we have smitten the
rock of public credit decidedly with
telling effect. / seems queer 10
read of debt-free Uncle Sam dis
tributng in the 30's an awkward
surplus. Up to the Spanish war
DIR national debt tended to shrink;
it now shows the tendency that goes
with being a world power; the
Panama canal. and internal develop
ments dem lnded, will accentuate
that tendency. Our debt, which
was $685., 600, 900 in 1893, is now
$913, 000, 900; there is $40 of debt
for each of us, besides $40 a year
for natioanl housekeeping. The
national debts of Europe have risen
in a generation from eighteen to
thirty billions in addition to taxes
as heavy as was expedient.
Where the debts of all our states
and cities increased SID, 900, 900 in
a decade TO 1890, they rose $751;
00O, 900 to 1902, and at still swifter
pace since then. The cities travel
fastest; Boston for instance climbed
from S2S, 900, 900 in 1890 to s74,-
600, 900. New York from $1O2,-

WHOLE COUNTRY is STIRRED

One of the most interesting re-
ports at the recent meeting of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis
was that of the executive secretary.
DR. Livingston Farrand, showing the
growth of the anti-tuberculosis
movement since May l, 1909. The
number of associations for the pre-
vention of consumption has in
creased from 900 to over 1926; the
number of sanatoria and hospitals
for the treatment of tuberculosis is
from 29S to 400; and the special
tuberculosis dispensarics from 222
to 265. During the year 1909,
thirty-six out of forty-three legis-
latures in session considered the
subject of tuberculosis, and in %,
bills were passed for the prevention
or treatment of this disease. Since
the opening of the legislative
season of 1910. out of ten legis.
latures in session up to May l, all
have considered the subject of tub
erculosis and every one of them has
enacted some law that bears on this
subject.

UPPER VALLEY LOSES FRUIT
CROP

1t would be hard to estimate the
damage and loss to orchard owners
in this valley by the frost last
Wednesday night. From all parts
of the valley comes discouraging
reports and save in a few rare in
stances, the fruit crop was entirly
destroyed. At the Sarman orchard
the frost killed thousand of boxes
of apples and pears. Theo. Hawk
ms was over from Genoa and re-
ports that the frost took nearly
everything in sight.
When n single frosty night
stands between a bumper fruit
crop and a complete failure as is
evidenced this year, it seems that
experiments with smudge pots that
m being used with such. great
S Gee in other semi-frost sections,
would result in. saving much fruit
in orchards that are favorably
planted for such an expermint.-
