THE SOUTH NOT IN IT
Few Southerners in Consular snd
Diplomatic Service

A recent dispatch from Washing
ton says:
THAT the Southern States are not
better represented in the consular
and diplomatic service is not the
fault of the Government, but OF
Southern Representatives in Con-
gress, is the stand taken by Secre-
tarv of State Knox.
"'Mr. Knox in an interview with
several Southern members said he
would be glad il a greater number
of able and qualified Southern men
could be induced to apply for posi-
tions in the diplomatic service outside
of ambassadors and ministers. The
diplomatic and consular appoint
ments are matters of examination
and the policy of Mr.. Knox is that
politics shall have nothing to do
with them. They are not party
places and he does not regard or
treat them as such.
"A system has been inaugurated
at the department by which each
State is allotted so many positions
of this sort in accordance with its
population. The Southern States
have not as many positions as they
are entitled to or as the State De-
partment stands ready togive them.
Mr.. Knox made it plain that he
would be glad il the Southern Sena-
tors and Representatives would re-
commend for examination men of
the proper character. and he believes
places could be found for sufficient
number to bring the Southern States
up to their allotment. The depart
ment does not believe these positions
should be left in the hands ofpoliti
cal referees representing the Re-
publican party in the South.
IF more Southern men apply anc
take the examinations, more will bt
appointed. The fact that an appli
cant is Democrat will neither helI
nor hinder him in obtaining th
place"

Good Roads Enhance Property

Another instance of the remarks-
BILE increase in property values
along the new macadsm turnpike
leading from Lynchburg to Amherst
courthouse, although not completed
yet its entire length, is shown by
the recent sale of twenty acres OF
land several miles from Lvnchburg.
Two years ago a tract containing
forty acres was sold for 81, 800. In
short time the purchaser sold half
of the tract for the cost of the whole,
81, 300. This recently changed
hands for So, 900 and now the second
half, which has never been sold
since the tract was divided is being
held at 81, 900.
In two years the value of the
forty acres has jumped from $3.50 to
81, 900 or, from $46 an acre to SIZE
an acre.

Summer School at Charlottesville

The present session OF tie Uui-
versity OF Virginia summer school
at Charlottesville gives every indi-
cation that it will eclipse al. pre-
vious records. In point OF atten-
dance, this is certain. There are
already one thousand students
matricuiated, and it is estimated
that a hundred or more have enter
ed the classes and will register in
the next few days. If the usual rate
of enrolment continues. il is probable
that the total enrolment will exceed
fifteen hundred students.
OF special interest are the classes
in education, domestic science, man.
ual training and agriculture. The
large size and the increase In num-
Der OF these classes are indications
of the general movement through
out the South to introduce moro
practical work and practical methods
into educational systems.
A Fourth Of July pageant similar
to that given last year Is planned
this year. 1t Is expected that 1t will
be even moro elaborate than the
preceding one.

The Horses's Prayer to His Master

Pathetic and irOnical as it may
seem, the horse looks up to man
as his god. In the Swedish they
have Prayer Of the Horse" ad-
dressed to his human lord and mas
ter. which in some is as follows:
"Oh, lord, my master, I thank and
adore you for the kind worf you
spoke to me long ago, and 1 strive
in the hope that you will pet me
once in a while. II l cannot under
stand what you wish me to do, please

or jerk on the reins, but look and
see IL something is not wrong with

HIGH COST OF LIVING
Is FULLY EXPLAINED
In Report Made to U. S. Senate BY
Committee

Senate committee which h3S lnveSti-
gated the causes of the high cost of
living was submitted 10 the Seoate
last Thursday by Senator Lodge,
chairman OF the committee. a use,-
ing was held prior to the presents
ton OF the report, and the minority
members of the committee protested
az INST the character Of the findings.
After a long argument the minor
ity was authorized TO employ an OK
pert to go over the report of the
majority and prepare the minority
views for submission TO the Senate.
The report made by Senator Lodge
was an exhaustive one. complied

nesses, reports received from consuls
and from foreign governments IL

that it's work was restricted by reA-
son OF the refusal Of the Senate to
appropriate the Sos, 900 asked fer by
the committee. which Tculd have
been used to employ SCENTS in the
field.
Some of the Many Causes
The majority Of the committee
found that Cf many causes coutribut-
ing to the advance in prices the fol-
lowing were most marked:
Increased cost OF production OF
farm products, by reason Of higher
land values and higher wages.
Increased demand for farm pro-
ducts and food.
Shifting of population from food
producing to food-consuming occupa-
tons and localities.
Immigration to iood-consuming 10
calities.
Reduced fertility Of land resulting
in lower average production or in in
creased expenditures for fertili4a-
ton.
Increased banking facilities in
agricultural localities, which enable
the farmers to hold their crops and
market them to the best OF advant-
age.
1t was found that this not only
steadied prices, but had !; te- dency
to increase them.
Reduced supply convenient TO

modities as timber.

GOOD GOVERNMENT

A Iva ADAMS, twice governor of
"A Colorado, is one of an ever-in-
"a creasing army of believers in good
government. And for good government,
he says, we must be prepared to pay
the price. THE citizen does not imi-
tate the old woman who said she had
been a Christian for fifty years. but
thanked God it never cost her a cent"
"As rule a religion that costs moth
ing has no saving power. Those who
depend upon a costless faith are apt to
find their spiritual craft tangled in the
first range of hills, as were the balloon
voyagers who started for the Atlantic.
There is nothing so expensive as good
government-except bad government"
Citizens who expect to share In the
benefits of good government should
give their active support to the cause.
Los Angeles deserves the best of every
thing, including government. Eternal
vigilance is the price of good govern
ment, and all who are interested in
the progress and prosperity of Greater
Los Angeles should support the cause
of good government, which guarantees
progress and prosperity.

LOS ANGELES HOMES

A STYLE of residence architecture
n which has been developed In Los
"A Angeles and may be said to rep
resent the Los Angeles school is be-
coming popular in every part of the
United States. People who think the
special Los Angeles type of home is
based on Mexican models may be sur
prised to learn Mexico is among the
borrowers of Los Angeles architectural
ideas, and Mexican homes are being
built in the Los Angeles way.
Especially popular is the Los An
geles style of bungalow, which is
being copied everywhere. Although
this type may have been suggested by
some of the dwellings in Hindustan, it
has been naturalized in the United
States, and by many marked improve
ments shows its good citizenship.
While California homes may be imi-
tated with more or less success in
other parts of the country California
home is not complete without Cali
fornia surroundings. A bungalow in
q snowdrift has d lonesome, exiled

should own it in sunny Southern Cali

CENSUS RESULTS

n WING to the great extent of
ground which had to be covered
" and the numerous difficulties en-
countered by local census takers, the
five extra days granted are welcomed
by all who are interested in a square
deal for Los Angeles as well as by
the enumerators. There is now no
question about the showing Los Ange-
les will make in the returns. There
is every indication the total will be
over 100000.
The growth of the population of Los
Angeles is one of the most remarkable
chapters in the history of the far west
Even when industrial features were
lacking people hocked here, determined
to "get along somehow and make the
best of it, With abundant power sup
ply guaranteed. and with the develop
ment of the harbor assured. Los Ange-
les now looks to the future with con-
fidence.
By the time of the completion of the
Panama canal this city will be capa-
bic of supporting a population of a
million. Industrialism will not inter-
fere with the natural attractions of
Los Angeles and nothing ever can spoil
the climate. Citizens of Los Angeles
may look forward with confidence to a
future of prosperity, peace and plenty
