A SUGGESTION.

Completeness is probably not regarded by the
judges of the twenty-five most beautiful words
in the English language. since they have decid-
ed twenty-one words are the most beautiful
twenty-five
After a three months contest the judges in
New York awarded the blue ribbon, the cake,
the plume the goose, or whatever constituted
following list: Melody. splendor, alteration. elo-
quence, virtue innocence. modesty, faith, Joy,
honor, radiance. nobility. sympathy, heaven, love
divine. hope, harmony, happiness. purity, liberty
Twenty-one beautiful words they are, all
meaning the good the true, the lofty. and the
inspiring. Yet these four words are not in the
list What could be better than the good than
better, which is also found among those missing!
What could be truer than truth? Yet this word
was rejected because OF it's metallic sound"
When you come down to hard pan there is some
thing. a cold, unyielding, steelhke quality to
truth. when you do not care to hear it. but d
great warmth about it when you do. What could
be higher than the lofty, or more inspiring than
list
Returns from four words are still not It. While
the judges waiting for the naturalization oil
the precincts. we venture to suggest home moth
ef. charity and bliss. Should these be rejected
We shall offer dollar food health, and peace
Failing still. we shall contribute pie, pickles

TO AN OLD SHOE.

We've walked the ways of life, old shoe
The rough and smooth together;
I've kept you under foot. It's true.
But you've been honest leather
You've not refused to take the dust
Your shining surface soiling:
You've been friend that could trust
IN pleasure or In toing.
Yours borne the brunt Of many a blow
BY foes for me intended:
You've never Kicked a fallen foe
Though you've oft defended.
You pinched ME some when you were new;
Ere had learned each other;
But now you dit my foot. old shoe,
AS brother unto brother.
But now you're wrnkled. old. and gray,

And then ] wonder II some day.

By those whom I have aided.
Then let At be beside the route
or some divine endeavor,

The copy reader on the American newspa-

rance. virtue and vice. efficiency and incompe-
tency truth and falsisyi ,fYanlepsy and trfokery.
He has few if any friends among the report
ers, because he "slashes" their copy" and
shapes it up so as to make it real English and
free from libel. and sometimes he labels"
story" so as TO express just the opposite from
what the earnest scribe intended. Were q sub.

But is he within his rights in giving us such
a shock? There many Murphies. and they

Murphy secondary consideration, for we have

We may survive the attack heart upon
reading of this conference which looked at first

scandalous affair. but we shall. not forgive the
trickster in hurry.
The result of the conference referred to was
that the insurgent senator informed Mr.. Murphy

imperial chancellor, according to an
official bulletin issued to-day. 1t is
announced that the remainder of the
trip Is not cancelled, but merely post

All the countries included in the
crown princes original itinerary, but

next year. have been sent notes of re-
greet, with assurances that the trip will
be completed in 1912. One of these
notes has been sent TO the United
States, concerning the crown prince $
visit to the Philippines
The crown princes visit has thus
been limited to British India, where the
English rule aroused his profound ad-
miration. His letters to the kaiser are
full of praise for the manner In which

that the crown princes conclusions will

SCHOOL BOARD AND
HEALTH BOARD CLASH

LYNCHBURG, VA. Jan. S1.--s
Much discussion has arisen over the
conflict in authority between the
school board of Brookville district and
the county board Of health.
Early last week the school was orr
dered to be closed on account OF
seven cases Of scarlet fever in the
vicinity OF the school, and work was
suspended. At a meeting of the school
board the trustees were advised by
an attorney that the order of tna
health board would not be binding In
the premises, because the order was
issued by two OF the members of the
board, without formal meeting.
Acting on authority of their attor-
ney's advice, the board instructed the
teachers TO resume the regular work
OF the school on Wednesday. Inter-
esting developments are anticipated
to- day.

In the Hastings Court of the city of Richmond
there recently an interesting scene. APP

Misunderstanding establishment, commonly call
ed a saloon. in a neghporhood inhabited entire
ly by negroes, The only reason for it's estab-
iishment there WAS the faet that it wesisi bs 10.
Gated where more Of the negroes who have
tons,
The respectable negroes appeared In
large numbers and asked that the license be not
granted, because 1t would mean ruin to so many
Of their people, and the court listened 10 their
appeal and refused the license
Booker T. Washington, in a recent Interview,
said:
Crime among the colored popula-
ton has been decreasing ever since
Statewide prohibition was inaugurated.
The negro is saving more money and
paying more attention to educational
matters since Mississippi Alabama,
Georgia. North Carolina, Tennessee,
and part of South Carolina went dry
Negro homes owned by negroes have
been built by the thousands In those
States"
The Supreme with It's usual method of Sian.
derous Misrepresentation, says: And yet they
tell us, these wise statisticians, these self-ap.
pointed prophets that prohibition prohibits +"
No intelligent makes any such statement
Let the Supreme give chapter and verse in sup
port of its assertion. The claim of the Prohibi-
ZIONIST is that the prohibitory law betters the
conditions surrounding the home, diminishes
the opportunity for vice end crime and places the
drunkara-maker in the criminal class here he
properly belongs, Booker Washingtons testi-
mony as to the negro bears out this claim
The Prohihitionist is SO foolish as to declare
that prohibition prohibits, The officers of tha
law make the law more effective by Its pro.
per enforcement. In one OF the North Carolina
courts recently two men were found guilty OF
violating the law and we're given two years at
hard labor on the public roads. and one man was
given one year the roads. This kind OF pun.
