The Jackson Monument

Rev. William S. Hammond, pastor
Trinity Methodist Church, LeXing-
ton, writes as follows in the Balti-
more and Richmond Christian Ad-
vocate:
The most striking thing about
Statuary Hall in the Capitol at
Washington is that it seems to stand
for the apotheosis of sundry nonen-
titles. We challenge any one with
fair knowledge of American his
tory to tell the life-story of all the
stone and bronze effigies that appear
there. Not one in a thousand can

a sight. seeing trip through this Hall
OF Fame.
West Virginia tribute is Kenna,
one time senator from that State, and
Pierpoint, the usurping wartime
governor of the newly erected Com
mon wealth. Neither of these is
famous enough to find place in the
ordinary encyclopedias. What West
Virginia should have done had she
been able to rise above sectional
prejGdices, was to place in this Hall
of Fame a Statue OF her greatest
SON Stone wall" Jackson.
1t is a matter OF wonder that our
neighboring Common wealth has not
honored in some way the memory of
her most distinguished son long
ago.
But "it is better late than never"
thanks to the Daughters of the
Confederacy-a statue of Jackson
will soon adorn the grounds OF the
State Capitol at Charleston. Right
to erect such monument was grant
ed by the Legislature, but the loca-
ton was left to the discretion of the
board of public works. 1t has been
given one of the most prominent and
conspicuous places to be had in the
Capitol grounds. 1t is reported
that the monument has been com.
pleted and is ready to be shipped.
West Virginia honors herself by
thus honoring her greatest son.

SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM
President Taft Roasts Undertaking
NEWSPAPERS


In a public address before the
graduating class Of an Ohio College
President Taft Friday paid his res
poets to the newspaper fraternity as
follows:
of the profession OF journalism
there is much to say. The increase
in the intelligence and discrimina-
ton of the people has in one way
largely modified the power of the
press.
The newspapers are taken more
for the news they contain than for
advice as TO the lessons which should
be drawn from it.
The reputation Of paper for &C
curacy and veracity is generally as
well known as the reputation OF a
member of the community. There
are some newspapers that seek to
effect their purposes and control
opinion by an attempted misrepr -
sentatiou or suppression OF the
facts in respect to matters attract
ing public attention. But in the
end they do not prevail.
Journalism is a profession in
which men OF discriminating in
telligence, of high courage, OF &C
curate judgment, Of love of truth
and real patriotism can find ssphere
of usefulness unexcelled in any
other, and such men are needed.
For if the standards set by some o.
the most successful OF the news.
papers in lack of truth, in coarse
ness and unfairness of criticism
shall not improve in the next gen.
GRAFTON, it will vindicate the pessi.
mists OF today.
Il refer TO q class OF newspapers
and OF magazines that are properly
called muck rakers, that RELY fol
their circulation on the vicious and
unfounded attacks upon the honesty
and upright character and patriotic
motives of men in public life, anC
upon those conspicuous and promi
nent in society. This muck raklnf
is an out growth and probably the
unavoidable aftermath OF laudabl,
and necessary attack upon abuse:
which had shown tn mselves In ;
form OF corporate greed and con
troll OF politics.

MISSOURI WANTS FOLK
Former Governor Will Make
Race for the Presidency
ANNOUNCES HIS PRINCIPLES
Declares Equal Rights Should Be
Controlling Force

Missouri Democrats OF all fac
ions at a dinner a few nights ago,
heard former Governor Joseph w.
Folk announce the principles on
which, it is said, be will seek the
Presidential nomination in 1912. The
dinner was in charge of men who
have been promoting the boom OF
the former governor.
On the subject OF issues before
the people the former governor said:
The great issue before the peo-
pie of this country is, stall there
be government by privilege for a
class, or government by the people
for all? This is a question within
parties as we'll as between parties.
The Republican party is dominated
by special interests, and operates
with them upon a profit-sharing
basis. We should not be oblivious
to the fact, however, that we have
Aldriches and Cannons in our own
party, and it is the duty Oh the Dem
ocrats to lessen their influence as
much as possible. We cannot pre-
vent some of them betty in the
party.
"A crisis has been reached in the
affairs OF the nation. Pick up a
newspaper any day and you will
fad accounts of thievery and graft.
What does it mean? Is corruption
becoming a national disease? Is
there something in our system OF
government that encourl ges men to
violate the commandment, Thou
shalt not steal?' Is not the govern
ment itself in large sense to blame
for this seeming general disposition
Has not the example which the
government sets in enriching few
by taking from all by means OF the
protective tariff been an influence
for corruption?
with the example of the nation.
al government giving privileges &c
a few, there is encouragement af-
forded all forms of graft, for all
graft is based upon privilege. Off
Gals are not bribed to give equa
rights to all, but 10 confer upon the
few some privilege denied the many.
The elimination of privilege is the
fight confronting Democracy.

Town and County Jealousies

A tendency is often noted in po-
litical contests to array people of
country sections against those in
the town, to appeal to one class
as against the other. This is al
ways unwise and can never be pro-
ductive OF good. The interests OF
the country people and those in the
towns are so closely interviewer
that anything affects one class ad-
versely necessarily has much the
same effect on the other.
In discussing this matter in con-
nection with the present election in
Alabama, the Charlotte Observer
says: 1T seems that one feature OF
the campaign recently made in Ala
bama by the defeated candidate Was
an appeal to the country against the
towns. This appeal as Montgomery
Advertiser notes with satisfaction
was quite in vain. The prejudices
OF so per cent. Of the people would
not be reused against the 20 per
cent. whose interests were identical
with their own. Less than two de.
cades ago appeals to class pr ejudices
in the South did bear temporary
frult-evil fruit for the people. Nc
such methods can be successful
again."

DR.. Currell on "The Bible as an
English Classic"

The Christian Observer of Louis
vile, Ky, in last week S issue pub
lished special supplement contain
ing full proceedings of the General
Assembly held at Lewisburg, W.
Va. A notice of local interest was
the address of DR.. w. S. Currell of
Washington and Lee University,
who spoke on The Bible as an
English Classic. He said in part:
What is literature?It is the artis-
tic embodiment Of thoughtin words.
The language was not hampered as
in later times.
The Bible has the matchless short
story, as the story of Joseph or the
Summarizes son. 1t has every form
of narrative.as the fable. the allegol Y
or the drama. Job has all the essen
tials ola great drama. 1t is the great
est piece of literature ever known
in anv language. Revelation has
all the elements of dramatic power
The Bible surpasses in descrip-
zion as well as narrative. Where
can be found more beautiful de-
Scription than the nineteeth Psalm,
or passages in Job, Isaiah and
Revelation?
The secret of the ignorance OF the
Bible is in the neglect OF it in the
home. The Sunday school with only
half an hour once a week cannot
teach the Bible as it ought to be
taught 1t will never become a
heart book unless it is learned at
the mothers knee. The college and
the Sunday school can only supple
ment the study of the Bible in the
home.
The division of the Bible into
chapters and verses. which is not
inspired, binders it's study as litera
ture. The literary study of the Bible
will require the disregard of these
divisions. The essentials of true
literature are two-perfection o
form and far reaching suggestive
ness. Nowhere are these found
more perfectly than in the Bible
The mere melody of the rhythm o
such passages as the twenty-thirt
Psalm enraptures the heart.

How Mr.. Bryan Has Made Good

The country is indirectly respon-
sible TO the Hon. William ]. Bryan
for most of the reforms which have
been instituted for correcting evils
and advancing the cause of Demo
cracY. He is an enthusiast without
being an inconoclast, the very type
of man from which has come the
worlds greatest reformers.
But the greatest thing about Bry-
an is not that he is a great and sue
cessful reformer, but it is that quail
ity which above all others made him
a reformer. It is that same quality
which constituted the real greatness
of Thomas Jefferson, who also was
depicted as a wild-eyed theorist and
who is even today called 'unpracti-
CAL" though the vast majority Of his
ideas have been for manv years de-
monstrated as not only pratical, but
right true. 1t is the belief in the
intelligence and honesty OF the aver
age man, in the capacity of the peo-
pie 10 rule themselves, in love for
men and the desire to see their ad.
vancement.
This it is that greatest. best and
most Distinguishing characteristic
of William Jennings Bryan. and that
it is that has given him such hold
on the hearts OF the American PEG
pie. Journal.

wholesome pleasure, made to build
better roads and to kindle closer
friendship between south and north
that is what the tour will be-
Beyond the numerical standpoint,
however, this tour is especially dis
tinguished by the variety and the
class of automobiles it includes.
EOrty-four different makes OF high
grade machines have been entered
The personnel OF the tourists
themselves, who will number not
fewer than two hundred and seven
ty-five, is one of the most note worthy
features of the event. They repre-
sent the socia'. business and pro
fessional prestige of the States and

and New York.
There are eleven States represent.

1t is truly rema rkable that in tn,
second year of it's history the Journ

have achieved a rank such as tn,
foregoing facts indicate. Such sue
cess is due mainly to these two cir

STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL
TERMS ARE TOO SHORT
Average Length Only Six and One
Half Months

The biennial report OF the Depart
ment Of Public Instruction, shows
that the average length of the school
term in Virginia is only six and one
half montns. As compared with
other Southern State this is good
showing; but we are far behind the
States OF other sections. A child in
order to make satisfactory progress
should attend school at least eight
months of the year. The city and
town child Of the State has this
opportunity, but the child VINO at
tends the one-room coutrv school
has no such good fortune.
Many Of our country schools have
a term of only five months. When
will the country boy and girl get as
good a chance for an education as the
city child2 Certainly not until the
school term is heightened. This will
mean, perhaps, an increase in the
school levy. The principal you
can't get something for nothing APP
plies in education as it does in all
the affairs of life.
Another fact shown by the report
OF the State Superintendent is that
the attendancei1 the country is very
poor, averaging only about seventy
per cent. The average for the cities
and towns is about ninety per cent.
Many OF the larger boys lose several
weeks each term because they are
needed on the farm. This may be
necessary, but it is unfortunate for
the boy. His education is a matter
OF great importance. Let US hope
that in the near future the crops may
be pitched and harvested without
having to take the boy away from his
school. While he is away his more
fortunate, schoolmates leave him fal
behind, and the time is fast ap
preaching when his chance for ar
education will be gone.
