The second of the series of lee;

laques w. Redway. author of. the
Redway Biographies and other tex
books. will speak on The Causes OF
the Civil War" This lecture Is not
TO be political discussion OF the
question. DR.. Roadway is TO discuss
the matter from an industrial and
geographical standpoint and endeavor
% show that the industrial conditions
of the country brought about the
great struggle between the states.
Prof Roadway has boon giving n
series of lectures to the summer Nor
NAL on geography and his talks have
been of peculiar interest. On one oc-
casion he told the teachers that the
depth of the water in the Roads and
harhor here is head and shoulders
above the harbor of New York when the
the size of Virginia's roadstead and
its tributary waters are considered.
He also said that New York is not
particularly adapted to the great COM
nerce il carries on and that because
e the fact that this commerce is
being carried on with place not well
adapted to it the people of the coun-
Try must pay three and half mil
lions of dollars annually for the har-
hor improvements OF New York.
Cotton Still King.
On another occasion. Prof. Roadway
told one of his classes In the normal
that cotton is kind. was king in 1861.
In 1865 and will be king more and
more as the country advances for the
easOn that the South can grow more
cotton than this country can ever use
and the cotton will ever be- shipped to
foreign ports.
There will come a time. he said.
when this country will use up all the
wheat and other grain grown in the
United States and that then the
country must depend upon the cotton
to bring back to it the gold paid in
purchasing stuff from abroad.

Following an acrimonious deDate'
during which Superintendent Wits a.

a vote of fout to three went over 'he
head Of the grading board and chahg
ed the grading of two of the teachers

chang. was made because some OF the
trustees thought that the two teach
ers in question, who have been teacn-
Ing in the schools only year or so,

SIS month each in their salaries

schools five or six years received an
increase of only IS month for next

that this had been used in an effort to
defeat him when he came up fer re-
election before the council last month.
"Short, Ugly Word"
Superintendent Jenkins interrupted
the speaker. asking II he would MIND
stating who had made the statement
about him. The colone, said that he
was not mentioning any names. but
that he had heard from several
sources that this was being used
against him in his fight for reelection.

clared that II the colonel said that he

incident ended
Col Huffman said that there was
nothing personal in the matter under
discussion and that his sole reason for
opposing the paying of the two teach
ers in question SIS per month was
that he thought il unfair 10 the teach
ers who had been in the schools for
a number Of years c. V. Sutton took
the came view as Col Huffman and
declared that when the board adopted
salaries for certain grades and then
allowed the grading board TO fix those
grades for the teachers the board sign
ed away its given right TO control the
boards finances.
Opposition to Change.
o. ID Bachelor opposed the chang
ing OF the salaries OF the gradings He
declared that the teachers had been
passed upon by the experts delegated
by the board: that those experts had
graded all Of the teachers: that the
board had adopted the grading OF

teachers and that Il would not only
be unfair. but dishonoTabie for the
board 20 change the grading OF the
two teachers. He declared that IL the
board persisted in changing the grad

The time has come for the people of

seriously than they have ever taken
him. to realize that he is altogether
the most startling figure who has ap-

incident In Cairo was wholly Chdrao-
tcristiC. The incident in Rome was
thrust upon him. In both he showed
the Theodore Roosevelt whose bril-
liant many.sidcdness, has capNltcd
the universe.
Third. after Washington and Lin

"Consolidator:" Roosevelt. the "Puri-

fancy this an unmcaning or an idle
