CRUEL WAR IS OVER
(American News Serv!ce)

London, Feb. 4-The militant stuff
ragettes have hauled down their flag
of violence. The current number of
their paper contains the announce
ment that no further violence will be
attempted unless they are convinced
that the government will yield moth
ing to them.
We hope the need Of it is over"
says the statement, and that militan-
cy has done it's work"
The leaders, however. say that this
by no means is to be considered a
dropping of the demands for fran
chise. The work in the future will be
concentrated in fighting the govern
ment-whatever party it may be-on

between the two great commercial and

end and the sea on the other. So sit
mated, between the Occident and the
Orient, it certainly constitutes a nat
ural concentration point for shippers
a natural portal to the highway of the

Nov, let us consider a few of the
products and values of Southern Cali

Los Angeles harbor, and which today
are limited, great as they are, by poor
transportation facilities and the uneX-
cusable lack of oceanic service. We
produce annually the following COM

Rail Shipments Important
"Also let us remember that annually
there comes by rail to Los Angeles
about 10000 tons of iron and steel and
more than 10000 carloads of groceries,
dry goods, paper. ETC., of which from
so to 80 per cent could and should be
transported by way of Panama at
great saving to the consumers of
Southern California, if there were
proper facilities"
Mr. Fleming also called attention to
the rapid progress in the construction
of the Panama canal, the advantage
of the east over the west by reason of
the government ownership of the Pan
anna steamship line, the indications of
an early completion of the canal, the
vast avenues of traffic which will be
thrown open to Los Angeles when the
canal is finished, and the Importance

closing time it set for 4;30 o'clock.
In speaking of the situation yester-

contact with men daily who do not
expect to make any reports because
they have received no blanks or be-

Not a single mercantile corporation

The father of one of the club members
has agreed to furnish a motor for the
machine.
The glider, in which the club has
partnership interest, has been tested,
and while one envious outsider said he
could glide faster and farther under
his dads old wagon umbrella" the
makers of the glider profess to be sat

TAFT WITH EDUCATORS
Meeting in Washington in Inter-
est of Alabama Institute
THE RACE ISSUE DISCUSSED
Higher Education of White Boys of
South Advocated

That the race question will be
settled by education OF white and
black in the South was the declara-
ton of President Taft in a speech
Friday afternoon to the board Of
managers of Ma rion Institute Of
Marion, Ala, at the Raleigh Hotel
in Washington City.
The President last yei.r accepted
membership on the board of direct
ors of the institute at the instance
of II. O. Murfee, superintendent of
the school. 1t is the plan of those
interested in the school to establish
in the heart OF the South an Ameri-
can Elton, where white boys may re-
ce:ve a preliminary education pre-
paratory to higher and more
complete education.
Il first became interested in edu-
cation in the SOUTH through the
negro question and the desire to
improve the negro. My interest in
negro education developed what l
think everyone must be led to no
matter what his particular motive
in negro education, deep interest
also in the education of the South
ern whites, for it was very apparent
that If the South was to meet her
problems and take proper care Of
the negro, the whites also must be
soundly educated.
In go ng into a Southern com.
munity one meets body of ladies
and gentlemen who are educated, as
refined and as cultivated as can bt
found in the world, but after tina
one comes 70 know that in the coun
try and in the back townships Their,
is another large BODY of white:
without adequate educational facili
ties.

= feeling above the negro, and do no
seem to yearn as he does Tor educa
ton. For the negro education is
fetish, and he thinks that if he Cal

Advice for the College Boy During
His Home Vacation

When Bishop w. NJ. Weekley,
of the U, B. Church, addressed the
student body at Shenandoah Col
legiste Institute Thursday he did
not attempt to hide his meaning
in phraseology which could not be
understood, but he stated plain,
practical and wholesome truths in
an Understandable way.
One paragraph, particularly,
should be read by every young man
leaving school. This is it.
When you go home, young
man, demonstrate to your father
that college lad still knows how
to work, and is not afraid to try
it. If on farm put your over
als on and go into the field. Your
hands may blister. to be sure, and
your face grow brown, but no mat
ter. Take your old place and keep
it until the time comes to return 70
school, or until an opportunity is
afforded to enter the profession for
which the college has prepared you.
And remember, in the mean time,
that while you have been in school,
breathing an atmosphere of culture,
and studying lofty ideas, most likely
your parents, in their simple home
life and views of things generally,
are about where you left them.
Judged by your high standard they
will seem more out Of date than
ever before, but do not manifest
by your conduct, a spirit of self im-
portance. OF course, on general
principles, you know more than
they do, but you will do we'll to re-
member that they know a few
things, if they did not have the adj
vantage OF college education. Let
them have their way, and use your
wits in the uttermost, If need be, 20
please them. Be your self-your
real, best self. Avoid affectation.
Honest, old fashioned people seldom
take kindly to Notwithstanding
Times.

SON OF Y. IN. |. HAS
ACHIEVED DISTINCTION
Success of Sir Moses Ezekiel in Field
of Art

1t is altogether probable that the
people OF Rome, Italy, regard Sir
Moses Ezekiel as vastly more than
their fellow citizen" and really
his long residence in the Eternal
City, to say nothing of the honors
heaped on him there. has closely
identified him with the Italians,
but for all that he is essentially a
Virginiau, and better still a Rich
monder.
Neither the lapse of time, the
laurels that have been lavished upon
him, nor the peculiar facilities Of
fered by foreign cline to his work
as an artist have weakened the ties
that bind him to the Old Dominion.
Never did man show more beauti-
full loyalty-loyalty that better bears
the mint mark of character and sin
certify.
1t is a far cry from the Virginia
Military Institute at Lexington to
the Baths of Diocletien in Rome,
where the famous sculptor has his
studio, but the real music OF Sir
Moses life is the rattle of the rattle
of the muskets fred by the cadet
battalion at New Market.
In this brave little band of boy
Confederates was the sculptor him
self, and never has there been a
waking hour that he did not recall
the fact with pride.
His devotion to the Lost Cause,
however. did not end with the sor-
row of Appomattox, nor yet with
the recognition that came to him
from all the art centers of Europe.
Busy man that he has been he
has found time to honor his own
loved people through the medium
of his wondrous plastic art.
Three years or so ago his alma
mater received a superb token OF
his lasting affection. and now comes
his princely gift to the University
a statue of Jefferson.
Even if one could forget the fac
that Sir Moses is titled sculptor
: OF international celebrity, one wOulC
still pay tribute to the man-th,
sterling Virginian- who makes al
; epic of his affection for his nativ

UNDER THE GREAT SHADOW
King Edwards Last Words Were

The last words uttered by King
Edward were L think l have

ISOLATION can one have, when the
shadows of life are closing about
him, than to feel that he has brave
ly borne the responsibilities of life
and conscientiously performed his
duty?
The mother looks over long life
of service, recalls the infancy OF
her children and their growth into
manhood and womanhood, remem-
bers how she has labor ed to develop
character as we'll as brain power,
and feels that she has done her
duty, even if her children have
not measured up to her hopes and
expectations.
The father, too, finds consolation
in the consciousness that he has
done his duty, even though way
ward sons have brought his gray
hairs down in sorrow to the grave,
if he has set an example worthy Of
imitation and, by wise counsel, done
all within his power to guide his
children to right.

Pellagra Probably Not Caused BY
Use of Corn

From the Danville Register we
learn that DIR. Claude II. Lavinder.
the young Virginian in the United
States Marine Hospital Service who
was prominent in the discovery OF
pellagra in this country, and who
was on the staff of Norfolk hospital
some years ago, has returned from
Europe with gratifying opinion.
The theory of peffagra has hither-
to been that it was caused by meal
made from mouldy corn. Corn
bread is dear to the hearts and souls
of millions OF Southerners, and they
do not wish to give it up unless it
is really dangerous. Most of them
have been skeptical from the first
about the corn theory of pellagra,
because they have seen whole fami-
lies flourish on meal and have known
patriarch after patriarch to derive
his principal sustenance therefrom.
Besides, corn is one of the greatest
of our cropS-as distinctive as cot
ton and even more valuable-and it
would be a serious blow for its sala-
BILE qualities to be impaired by a
worldwide pellagra panic.
DIR. Lavinder went to Europe par
ticularly to study pellagra at its
worst, in Italy. Ia that country
for a century pellagra has bee
known as 'Lombardiau leprosy.
DR.. Lavinder says that most OF the
leading Italian scientists agree tina,
pellagra is caused neither by food
nor drink, but by a bacillus or in
sect which preys principally upor
field laborers and rarely leave:
rural communities. These Italian
authorities do not believe that pei
lagra is contagious, and they hole
that only persons who have visited
infected areas ever have it.
This is a great relief with regart
to corn, and decidedly reassurin.
with regard to contagion. May DIR
Lavinder be the fortunate search
err for the pellagra insect, so that W
may write his name under that c

Vigor of The Philadelphia Record

When a daily newspaper numbers
among it's readers tens of thousands
who dwell in communities remote
from the place Of its publication
there is prima facie evidence that
narrow local interests play but a
comparatively small part in the
scheme of existence. The strong
following of The Philadelphia Re-
cord" outside Of Philadelphia, in
Pennsylvania, New Jesey, Delaware
and Maryland, is case in point. The
out-of-town subscribers of The
Record" do not read it in preference
to other city dailies solely to find
out what is going on in Philadelphia.
Their favor has been won and held
by its SPECIAL appeal to their likings
and requirements in other direc-
tionS.
While The Record" is a Demo
cratic newspaper, the sources of its
popularity cannot be sought in its
political iaith, since many Of its
longtime admirers are stapch Re-
publicans. But the vigor and sin
certify of its editorials compel the
approval and respect even of those
who do not agree with their teach
