Allthis talk about the progressive
teacher spending his summer vacation
at a summer school and teachers in
stltutes is very pretty but it is not SO
agreeable to the teacher. After spend
ng nine or teo months in the school
room when the summer time comes
the teacher must feel that he must get
out OF doors and get the fresh air and
the exercise. That is not on ly a natural
feeling for the teacher but is very nee
essary for the teacher who wishes to
preserve his statu qCo both in mind
and body. There is limit beyond
which the human constitute on cannot
endure and when the teacher goes be-
YONG that lie trausgresses one of the
most important physical laws. When
ii. sc hool closes the teachers and the
u pills ought to be sent out 10 the open

enjoy the outdoor life to its full until
the time comes for again taking up
he work of the school room.

Rev. n. Ashlin White, who has been
the very acceptable and faithful pastor
Of the Presbyterian churches at Ger.
ar istowg, Bunker Hill, and Shanghai
for the past seventeen aud half years
on last Sunday resigned his pastorate
to accept call TO the Highland Park
church in Richmond, Virginia. The
church which calls MI. White affords
a most excellent field for minister of
the gospel who is seeking to do good
1t is located IN growing section OF
Richmond and has membership of
more than shundred and sixty, mostly
young people.
Mr.. Whites pastotate in this charge
has been very successful one. The
Gerardstown church was in disrupt
ell condition when he came but though
1t was his first charge and he bad but
ship together and made the church
useful and prosperous one. When he
offered his resignation last Sunday the
congregation elected two commission
ers, in the persons of Mr.. D.. Gold
Miller and Mr.. T.. >. Henshaw to op.
pose the dissolution of the pastoral re-
lations before Presbytery which will
meet at Berkeley Springs about the
middle Of July.
MIR. White has great many friends,
both in his congregations aud outside
who greatly regret losing him.
Presbytery will most likely grant
his request and dismiss him. All wish
him pleasant and useful career in
his new field.

To night, Friday, the liquor Iicens,

of this city will expire and for the next
year, at least, there will be no saloons
in the town. The people have decreed
that they will have no saloons and it
is the duty of every citizen Of the town
and the county as well, to not only
obey the law but TO try as far as he is
able to see that the law is enforced. If
1t works hardship on fellow he
ought to bear it with patience and help
to carry out the law. Let us try it and
If the town goes back, if business goes
to the bad, as some seem to think, it
will not be impossible to remedy the
wrong. All the people ask is that it
be given fair trial, that is what they
set out 10 do and they are not willing to
abandon the experiment until it has
been fairly and thoroughly tied. There
is no occasion for any bitterness for
any quarreling and pickering over the
matter. The people havea right to
vote out the saloons aud try the exper-
iment of no-license if they see proper
and that is just what they are doing.
1t is especially duty of the officers of
the law TO give countenance and aid to
those who are interested in the enforce
ment of the law for they have taken
an oath to enforce the law and to per
form their duty to the best of their abil-
lty. AS a rule the officers of the coun-
ty have been faithful and are in this
case going to enforce the law othe ut,
most of their ability

II is really pathetic The way every
body is ponding old Adam Littlepage
about his biography given in The con-
gressional record al the opening ofcon-
gress. Adam is he fellow who beat
Joe Cams in the Charleston district
last fall in a rockribbed republican dis.
trct. He il the fellow who came here
at the invitation Of, we know not whom
last spring to speak in the interest
of the saloons and got the stuffing
kicked out Of him in the election fol-
lowing few days after.
We have never heard Adam accused
Of being over modest al the same time
we believe the biographical sketch
was mistake and we see no use IN
rubbing it in so numerically on the
poor old man.
He is good fellow and does deserve
a great deal of praise for his honorable
career and we have not heard of him
dong anything he should be,ashamed
of but coming to Martinsburg in the
interest Of the saloons and for that we
are willing to forgive him providing
he VIII not do SO again. Judging from
the results we hardly think Adam did
them much good.

There seems general disposition all
along the line to boost Governor Wood
row Wilson, Of New Jersey, for the
democratic nomination for pres dent
in 1912. What the people want and
need most is man who is not afraid
of the trusts and the money power in

shown himself to be He has on sew
eral occasions engaged in conflict with

come out more than conqueror with
the applause Of the people. He states
his position on reform measures for

to one after another of the sons or
New Haven during those long years
from 1861 to 1866. More hearts than
those of kindred overflowed with
gladness as the survivors from time
to time returned, bearing the proud
sense of duty done.
To soldiers of the Civil War we owe
the place which the United States
now occupies in world affairs, or rath-
er we owe to them the possibility
of our country's assuming such a
place.
I am not sure that, in all respects,
it has been wise for the nation to
concern itself so intimately with
world-politics, and in SO many ways;

selves that the United States has led

THE GENTLE ART
OF "TOUCHING."

New eras need new work With the
great modern arts have come new
terminologies. as a glance at one OF
the recent dictionaries will show. Mr.
Oylngton, the aviator, insists that the
English contains no single word that
adequately describes, for instance,
the downward swoop, power shut off,
of an airship land he suggests ''vol-
plane" which is sufficiently descrip-
tive. The ''volplane'" is a long slide
directly preceding the period when
the aeroplane touches the earth, or ef-
fects its landing, reaches the spot for
which it started, SO to speak "Touch-
ing is another modern word, which
has as partial without intending to
pay, to beg, to holdup, to fleece to
hornswoggle, to trim, to bite to sting.
The result of each and every pro-
cess is the same, but the method is
different. 1t is highly artistic TO
make touch and only an artist can
do 1T, while to borrow, or beg from
woggle, or hold him up are unpleas-
ant operations which may be per-
formed by almost any burly person
with large nerve and a small purse.
But he who touches must have
the soul of a poet and the methods
of genius, for to be in that radiant
class he must both make his touch
and leave the touchee in a benignanr
mood as of one who has been Civ
en- a plugged quarter by a trolley
car conductor, but has placed it as
the plate was passed. Why is not
Volplane an excellent word to apply
also to the soft and gliding move
ment by which the TOUGHER reaches
his victim and his victims pocket.
Then here's to the gentle art of
touching" which is the art making
the lender feel that he has received a
favor.

CAUSE OF FOREST FIRES.

Forest fires in Fairfield Milford and
Stratford recall that a considerable
portion of the territory of Connecti-
cut is unimproved land which is
more or less heavily wooded. A few
days since a woman lost her life
vile. There have been large fires
in Litchfield county and in the neigh
borhood of Waterbury. Damage
amounting to thousands of dollars has
been done. The laws for protection
against forest fires are probably ade-
quate but they are difficult to en-
force and little or no effort is made
to detect and apprehend offenders. AT
this time of the year wind and sun
have united to dry out the bed OF
leaves that fell during the autumn
and the conditions are ripe for a con-
Migration when flame touches. Doubt
less the carelessness of hunters or of
casual visitors in wood and field is re.
sponsible for most of the forest fires.
A lighted match carelessly dropped a
cigarette or cigar butt thrown away
pipe emptied of its partially burned
contents, a wad from hunters gun.
spark from a locomotive, a fire built
in the grass by tramps or picknickers
are some Of the common sources of
forest fires, which will be lessened in
number in the precise degree that in
prudence in the matters complained

Postmaster General Hitchcock. the
slickest politician in the cabinet of
President Taft, would grace bureau
in Russia His methods at the head
of the Postal Service are proving
more dictatorial than the methods of
the Bureaucrats who serve the Lit
tie Father" Hitchcock's order for
bidding postal employees to organize,
and denying them the right of petit
ton is a browning act of tyranny One
of the reforms demanded by certain
employees, the railway mail clerks, is
that the railway mail cars be made
safe and sanitary. There are now
1000 slight wooden cars in the SER
vice. 1t is not unusual to find one If
the cars set in behind an engine and
tender weighing 1876 tons and a 60
foot all steel dynamo baggage steel
car and followed by a number of SO
foot all steel passenger cars. I'm
der these conditions when an accident
occurs the small and fragile mail car
takes the brunt of the shock. When
engines collide the fooden framework
is crushed like an egg shell. Tons
of mail matter is destroyed and the
mail clerks are killed or MANNED
These cars occasion one of the most
bitter complaints of the railway mail
clerks. Yet if they refuse to work in
them while unorganized they will be
discharged and they will be removed
from the service if they endeavor to
organize.
