war.
The address with which the young
men handled the problems of the

Art In Our Schools.

entire afternoon with Prof. Huns

dren beginning in the elements OF
the arts and crafts develop and grow
into the highest excellence, and keen
est conception of art. The children
begin in efforts to convey ideas of
the seasons, festal days, the months
ana years. Going from this they
develop into an expression of ability
in freehand drawing, mental and
textile work, clay and porcelain, in
cludiRg also leatherwork and raffia
We can only mention an excellent
centerpiece cut from leather by Min
ME Wilson, and some exceptionally
artistic metal work by Mr.. William
M. Buckner, who is taking the spec
ial course in drawing under the
teaching of Prof. Hunster. Mr.. Buck
ner shows many exquisite specimens
OF mental work, besides an intense
appreciation in all the forms OF ART
Mr. Buckner is promising; he leads
us to expect things of him for the
future.
The high school under the instruc-
tion of Mr.. w. d. Nixon assisted by
Mr.. s. D. Milton exhibits many fine
examples of freehand drawing, wa
ter color, textile decoration. sculp-

that it was impossible to serve these
men. But said he, II have a

He said this so frankly and SEEM
ed so sincere that two of the men
were won over and agreed to go into

of more skeptical mind, said,

POLITICS in WEST VIRGINIA.

West Virginia is just now exper-
encing one of the most general and
widespread political revivals she
has had in years. The contest be-
tween Senator Scott and Hubbard is
conceded by those who are in close
touch with the situation to be all in
favor of the former Up to date Mr.
Hubbard has made but little, II any,
showing On his own initiative. There
seems to be a reticent understand
ing that Ex-Governor Dawson may
enter the race If Mr.. Hubbard's poll
tical horizon does not soon clear up.
This, however, is no news to the fol-
lowers of Senator Scott. They anti
cipated this, and are no doubt pre-
pared to meet just such contin-
gency. Again, such a move as this
would only weaken Mr.. Hubbard as
we'll as the man who would attempt
to step in his shoes, for it would clear
ly demonstrate the fact that machine
politics were being played and the
people of West Virginia are not in
any mood now to tolerate such
movement. Mr.. Hubbard's hope, II
he ever had any, seemed to have gone
glimmering when he lost Ohio Coun-
ty to Senator Scott. The fact that
Kanawha County did not exactly
register her votes for Senator Scott,
has not in the least dampened the
ardor of the Scott followers. This
being the home Of Ex-Governor Daw-
son and his lieutenant, Mr.. Hall, 1t
was expected that there would be
some trouble in capturing that
stronghold OF Dawson and Hallism,
This says but little detrimental to
Senator Scott, for the great majority
Of the people of the State of West
Virginia are with him and will SO
register their wish when the time
comes to select men to go to the
state legislature, which legislature
will undoubtedly elect Senator Scott
for the third time at its coming ses-
sion. "The Forum after careful
investigation made the prediction
that Mr.. Hubbard would loose Ohio
County by goodly margin. 1t shall
keep closely. in touch with affairs
from time to time and give its read
ers the benefit of the progress Of
this political contention, but when
all is said and done, from this far
off viewpoint, not on sentiment but
on facts gathered and analyzed, we
make the further prediction that
Senator Scott will be the next sena-
tor elected from West Virginia

One Of the FIRST things that some

increase his standing with the "pow-

order that he may hold his job or
improve his chances or re-appoint-
ment or reelection or get a better
job in the near future. Then he
sets about to stir up some trouble
and in order that he may show his
authority and get some cheap no
toriety through the newspapers.
Then goes at once to the papers and
tries to get himself heralded as a
great officer who enforces the Law
without fear or favoritism. But if
you would investigate you would
probably find that this great Law en-
forcer had been himself forced out
of almost every position he had for
merly held. Such petty officials are
a menace to the country. Instead
of looking after the things that
might do some good they are striv-

CHAPTER TX.
Latent Passions.

The three years which had elapsed
had made vast change in the rela-
lions between the man and the woman
In the beginning and for long time
hers had been the dominant position.
So absolutely had she ruled that to
him she had been as god So en-
tirely had he obeyed that to her he
had been devotee. Once she discov'
cred his ductility and had begun to
teach him, the relationships had com
menced to change. Gradually each had
recognized the humanity of the other.
Together students they had naturally
approached common level. Every
new knowledge she impaired to him
was an abdication of some of her SUI
premacy. Every new knowledge he ac-
quired was an inspiration to her high
level.
Three years is short time in the
educational life of a human being
but she brought to her side of what
was slowly developing into an equa
ton the highest training, a natural
ability to impart what she knew, an
absolute devotion to the endeavor and
an entire freedom from other interests
So fascinating had the experiment
been that she had scarcely missed the
rest of the world. / wonder IL he haG
been woman instead of man II
