Compulsory Education.

It should surprise that Harrisonburg
and three out Of five school districts in Rock
ingham county have voted in favor of
pusory education. In such election all the
instructors OF youth may be relied 10 sup
port the measure with all their might The
preachers also generally line up soiidly in
favor of the measure. and large proportion
OF other citizens who have received liberal
education themselves. Thus may say that
the preponderance Of the intellectual force of
a community Is arrayed the side OF
pulsory education. With such force behind
the measure it is natural to expect It to pre-
vail.
Arraved against such measure some
who feel that il encroaches parental rights
and authority; but public sentiment has long
since as a whole. gone beyond the stage when
1t admits that parent for selfish reasons may
compel child TO grow up In ignorance. Tho
general feeling the subject is that every
child has the right to secure at the cost OF the
state an elementary education. and that it Is
the duty Of the State to remove all obstacles
in the way or securing such an education, whe-
Their those obstacles interposed by the
parent. guardian or any other individual

Sensible Advice to the Unions.

Union labor should not allow itself to become
Historically sympathetic over the arrest OF one
of Its leaders IN connection with the Los Angeles
outrage until that leader is able to show some
good grounds of defense to the crimes charged
against him. No has right to assume
that no is guilty and IL is absurd to arbitrarily
assume his innocence in the face of what has
been presented to tho country 1t Is right that
he should be furnished by his colleagues with
ample means OF defense. but II he Is guilty,
union labor for its own sake should not wish
for his acquittal 1t is evident that a chain of
strong evidence envelopes Mcnamara, but he
should be given every opportunity to prove his
innocence. II he is guilty of tnstigating the
awful crimes with which he is charged no
punishment could be too severe.--Fredericks-
burg Free Lance.

PERFORMING LIONS.
Perils That Come With Managing Those Vicious
Amir,

Animals.
/ asked Captain Bonavita once what he con-
sidered his most dangerous moment when he
performed with his twenty-seven lions. He sai d
that he thought it was when he nrst entered the
arena. The moment before, when he had to
drive this great herd of lions in, was almost
as bad, but the first few minutes when the crowd
of lions entered were terribly uncertain and
undoubtedly the most dangerous.
In the first place with such crowd there
was the danger Of being pushed or knocked
down. Then there was the danger of tripping
among them or Of stepping their tails for
many Of them would lie down and roll over
and over rs a preliminary the performance,
and If he were not struck by their feet he was
Just likely to be struck across the face or
body with their strong. ropelike tails
In getting them into their places there was
also considerable danger for IN sucn Grove

He made personal and separate pleas for each of his colleagues, particularly for the other senatorial aspirant; told of that gentleman's long record in public life; urged for a man of na- tional experience in the senate when Arizona should for the first time have equal representation in the foremost deliberative body of the world; and, in the event of his own, acceptance, pledged his most sacred honor to forever remember that the laws of this land should be lmpartially made and impar tially administered.
