Education and Play,

From Alcuin to Wesley, one of the
fundamental ideas about sound educa.
ton was the exclusion of play. The ed.
ucators OF our day, following Froebel's
initiative, give large room to play
More than that, publicists, are now en-
phasizing the relation of play to public
morals, and so great cities are spending
money lavishly on public parks and re,
creation grounds. Word now comes
that China has adopted the idea and
under imperial authority, public play.

Another Attraction in Washington.

A new show place, unique and instruc-
tive, will within few weeks be added
to the attractions of Washington. IL
will be permanent exhibit of the nat
ural resources and other advantages Of
Tered by the southern states to capital-
lists, homeseekers and laborers.
The enterprise will be under the pat
ronage of the Southern Commercial
Congress. The design is to bring to the
attention of a large portion of over
1000 people visiting Washington
every year a graphic presentation of
what the South is doing and the oppor-
tunities for further development.
The exhibit will be installed in q spa-
cious room, 4Sx100 feet, on the ground
floor Of the Southern building, a new
sSyscraper, two blocks from the White
House and near other government build
ings that are invariably visited by tour
lsts- The display will be so arranged
as to impress the casual visitor as we'll
as to satisfy the inquiries of all who Sc
riously seek information.
Mural decorations will be devoted to
emphasizing the great points of leader
snip inherent In the South These lines
of leadership are:
Coast lines, navigable streams, water
powers, distribution of rain fall. vari-
etles OF soil. growing hours for vegeta-
ton, wet lands, forests aud minerals
related to rivers and the coast.
Sixteen great columns in the room
will be set aside to emphasize the points
OF leadership. One column will be de-
voted to each of the sixteen States for
which the Southern Commercial Con-
gress exercises its activities. These are
the States:
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Ken
lucky, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland.
Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee.
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
Around these columns will be ar
ranged the displays of the first four
cities Of each State that contract for
space. In addition, every organization
in the South may display its printed
matter and an album of photograph
views.
The installation of the exhibit and its
general conduct will be attended to bv
DR.. Clarence J. Owens, secretary-treas-
urer of the Congress.
Managing Director Dave in an inter-
view Saturday regarding the matter
said:
The Southern exhibit will not be an
advertising dodge. 1t is an educational
idea to lead the mind of the nation to
an understanding of the Southern
States and their wonderful present and
possible development. The exhibit will
have nothing for sale, but will enable
all visitors to see the South. The Sc
rious purpose of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress is to strengthen the ma
ton by leading to correct understand
ing of the South"

Selling the Philippines.
Roanoke World.

Some Virginia newspapers are en-
dorsing the Denver Posts suggestion
that the United States sell the Philip-
pine Islands to Japan. In doing so. we
are sure, they do not realize fully what
the proposition implies or appreciate its
great underlying principles. In such a
matter utility and practicability must
play minor roll, indeed we must lose
sight of them entirely, and keep in mind
the simple question, what is best for
humanity. If we are discouraged at
what has been accomplished in the Phil
ipplnes or at future prospects, we must
repeat to ourselves constantly the
thought that what we have undertaken
and what we shall undertake. in the ISL
ands beyond the sea, is for the advance
ment of our fellow men and the glory
, of civilization. Utterly abhorrent to us
should be any selfish or narrow policy
Having taken the Philippines we have
but one course to follow, and that is. to
see that the tenure of our ownership
brings benefits and blessings and that
when our work is finished we can give
70 the t1hpinos peaceful. prosperous,
and happy country. This is what we
said we would do, and as nation we
have not yet admitted that we can fail.
Some newspapers insist that this sort
OF talk is sentiment and that it does not
meet the situation. Suppose it is senti-
ment, how can that change the facts7
Sentiment is all that we have to lift our
race above that which is mean and sor
did. Rob US of sentiment and we drift
into hopeless brutality and make certain
the triumph of the lowest elements of
human nature. We have not yet applied
the measuring rod and scale of weights
and money in our international relations
nor will the future make us do 80.
When we took possession of the Pbilip-
pines, they became as much a part of
US as any other section of our dominion,
and we could, in honor, no more think
OF selling them than we could think of
selling some other part of our territory.
No matter how troublesome or costly
the Islands may prove we cannot shame
ourselves by treating them as an object
OF barter and sale. To us and to us
alone falls the duty of caring for them
and molding them into valuable factor
in the worlds progress.
Talk of Kidding ourselves of the ISL
ands arises now and then and attracts
some attention and provokes some dis
cussion, but it soon dies away and finds
itself in the collection of discarded and
discredited ideas.
honor and duty heretofore have guild
ed our country in its aspirations and un-
dertakings. and although at times we
have been misunderstood and our mo-
tives wrongly interpreted, we have
chung to the lines originally laid down.
And the dawn of the twentieth century
will not find US selling to Japan or to
any other nation a land which we rule
and to which we owe every possible con-
slderation. Would England dream of
selling Canada? Would Japan sell Ko-
rea? Would Russia sell Siberia? The
United States takes pride in the WORTH
ness of its projects and the lofty char
acter of its purposes. Would she stoop
to transactions that other governments
would scorn?

When one considers the enormous
amount of property which in this coun-
try goes up in smoke each year, it is al
most strange that an annual Fire Pre-
vention Day." such as is to be neld in
Illinois, was not established years ago.
Properly celebrated by fire brigade
drills, school drills, thorough investiga-
ton of public and other premises, and
instructions as to preventing and fight
ing fire, nothing but good would result.
1t is we'll known that millions of dollars
worth of property are destroyed each
year by fires carelessly started and be-
cause of defective methods of dealing
with fires. Small towns and villages
are particularly weak in fire prevention
and fire fighting. Our own little CITY
needs a civic awakening in this regard.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
A SAVAGE KING WHO BE-
CAME CIVILIZED.

There Is one great character
In Hawaiian history, King Kane
hameha. He was born in 1897,
pagan. BY his own personal
prowess he became the leader
OF his people, He conquered all
tbs Islands and was crowned
their king. It Is a remarkable
fact that he developed from a
savage into a civilized ruler. He
was Vlgllant and strict, introduce
Ing many reforms and doinq
away with many heathenlsh
practices. While he did not be-
como a Christian, he abandoned
the worship of Idols, and on his
death bed refused to allow the
customary human sacrifices In
the hope Of prolonglna his life.
He died in 1919, the year before
the arrival of the Christian mis-
sionaries from the United
States There Is a fine statue
OF him In front Of the govern
ment building In Honolulu, and
his memory Is held In great rev.
erence by the native HawaiIans.
In the Bishops Museum, In Hon.
oIulu, is preserved his war coat,
made Of the yellow feathers Of a
rare bird of the islands. Nine
generations are said to have
been employed In making this
coat, and its value Is estimated
at $4,000.

1t may be but mere coincidence that
the price of sugar has gone soaring just
at the time housewives are making pre-
serves, jellies, ETC., but the same thing
seems to happen every year. OF course
the sugar magnates and all who deal in
the sweet stuff can give reasons in
plenty to their own satisfaction for the
advance.

DEMOCRATIC FRAUD PREVALENT.

bNMOOiHiiu uHUU T0LVHlINIt
Fraud in Democratic primaries seems
to have become very common. 1t is
not confined alone to the Virginia De-
mocracy, with whom fraud has for
many years heen a permanent charac-
teristic In both general elections and
party primaries.
There was a Democratic primary I'D
In New Jersey a few days ago; and the
candidates of Governor Woodrow Will
son were defeated by fraudulent regis
trations, ballot-box stuffing, falsified
returns and the usual methods employ
ed to accomplish such ends. When the
facts became known to Governor Will
son, who is conspicuous candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent, he said:
Il don't want Office except with
the honest votes of the people. If
we can't have free and open bal
lot we shouldn't have any,"
We wonder how this kind of talk will
be accepted by the Virginia Democra-
cy? Through its procurement honest
votes of the people and free and open
ballot have become unknown in this
Commonwealth. We haven't had an
honest election law written and made in
the State by the Democrats since 1888.
And, then, it became evident to Gov
ernor Wilson that he had been elected
chief executive of New Jersey by the
same fraudulent methods that obtained
at the recent Democratic primary in
that State. Hear what Governor VIII
son says about it:
at has been said that 1 profitted
IN the election by this fraudulent
vote l am afraid it is true, and if
l had the opportunity, 1 would
change 1t at once, no matter what
the cost. 1t makes me hot all over
to think / was in part elevated by
contemplate fraud, and if there is
any way the office can be vacated
invite the process at once"
And Governor Wilson remarked far
Their:
1--WE know there has been an
enormous fraudulent vote in the pri-
mary and general elections in New
ark, and the proper affidavits will
be made in the courts at once. We
do not want to win elections except
by the votes of flesh and blood, liv-
ing men who have the right to
vote"
The Richmond Evening Journal is the
only Democratic paper in Virginia that
has alluded, so far as we have seen, to
the New Jersey frauds and quoted Gov
ernor Wilson thereon. The Journal
says:
Governor Wilson's Indignation
was sincere, and no honest man
could feel comfortable in position
which he secured through fraud. no
matter how good his intentions may
have been"
1t is to be hoped that Governor Will
son will prove his sincerity by a thorough
investigation of the election frauds in
his State; and emphasize his sincerity
by vacating the Office he holds if he
finds it was procured with the assist
ance of fraud. Thus can he prove that
his expressed Indignation has not come
from desire to promote his presiden-
tial aspirations, or been occasioned by
the defeat Of those candidates he sup-
ported in the recent primary.
The remark of the Richmond Journal.
that mo honest man could feel COM
Portable in position which he had Sc
cured through fraud" ct Get, is COM
and true; but it will not be
by the leadership and Office
holding trust Of the Virginia Democra-
~. For more than twenty years these !
