BECOME MINISTER
Former Member of Well
Known Firm to Study for
Rectorship.

Ernest H. Daniel, until two months
ago member of the real estate corpora
ton of Willige, Gibbs & Daniel, direc-
tor of the Chamber of Commerce, men,
Der Of the Board of Education, and d.
rector Of the District National Bank,
has decided to abandon his business ca
reer and enter the ministry of the
Episcopal Church.
Since the dissolution of the realty
corporation and its reorganization no
announcement of the plans of Mr..
Daniel have been made, and only few
knew that one of the chief causes of
the reorganization of the company was
the determination of Mr.. Daniel, some
months ago. to abandon business for
/, the ministry.
Sells Interest.
On September Mr.. Daniel, who
owned a half interest in the stock of
the old corporation, which he helped to
organize. in 1908. sold out his interest.
Mr. Daniel has been reticent about his
own affairs since his withdrawal from
the realty business, but admitted this
morning that the report that he is
going into the ministry is true.

is to pursue course Of study with
Bishop Alfred Harding. DR.. r. H. Nc
Kim, and Rev. ]. H. Nelms, preparatory
to his assumption of the profession. Mr..

Since that time he has given his at

These business and civic interests

present and probably until he Is ready
to take up the actual work of the min

EACH MEMBER TO
HAVE SAY IN CHEVY
. CHASE CLUB DISPUTE
Debenture Members. Pro-
tests to Be Referred to
Whole Organization.

Disagreement among members of the
Chevy Chase Club about the payment
Of certain dues by q certain class Of
members will probably be referred to
the whole club for settlement, and
the question is not likely to be ad-
judicated by the board Of governors
at its meeting tomorrow night. This
prospective development In the row
Is the likely one, according to the
statement of President Gist Blair, Of
the club. this afternoon.
President Blair is strongly against
the contention of those "debenture
members" who assert that because
they advanced $1,000 each toward the
new clubhouse building fund, they are
exempt from payment of a charge Of
$40 year for use of the golf course
and tennis courts. A majority Of the
board of governors is said to agree
with President Blair. The annual
meeting Of the club will take place
early in December.
The debenture members Of the Chevy
Chase Club, one of the most fashion
able organizations of the kind in the
country, are those who advanced
$1,000 apiece to help build the hand
some new clubhouse. Such members
are exempt from the annual dues OF
$50 and rate as life-members. Some
of these, though by no means all. de-
clare that on this account they are
not liable for the charge of SO for the
use OF the links and courts.
Il am a depenture member myself"
said President Blair. but do not feel
that this excuses me from paying $40
II wish to Use the golf course. one Of
the best in the United States, and which
costs many thousand dollars q year In
upkeep.
"As for the legal side of the matter.
Debenttire members are not to be ex-
cused ever on a strict and technical
Interpretation of the agreement 1t is
expressly stipulated that they share in
the liabilities Of the club like other
members"
Not much Of a contest over member
ship In the board of governors is likely
at the annual meeting Ia December.
The terms Of four governors expire.
and SO far as known now they will lie
re. elected without opposition. The men
whose terms as governors end this year
are F. L. Huidekoper, secretary Of the
club; Charles z. Magoon. Cha,Ies j.
Bell. and Commander o. p. Jackson.

OVERHEAD OFFICIALS.

| In the opinion of the Newport News
Press, the State of Virginia can save
100000 the year by abolishing tho
fec system. The Roanoke Times. COM
mentng upon the statement OF the
Press. says that 1t has never seen any
conclusive facts and figures"
AS matter of fact nobody will
ever get at the facts and figures until
the fee system is abolished. Ncto9y
knows what the county and city Off
Gals get but they themselves, ard
they are too canny to tell. The state
says to the official: collect ali you
can: give me little bit, and keep the
change is
The Times thinks that the laborer
Is worthy OF his hire The Press thinks
not, and we agree with the Press Two OF
the local officials in Newport News
get higher salaries than the Cover
nor. Does our Roanoke contemporary
argue that the duties of treasurer of
city Of 21,5oo people are any more
arduous or that the position carries
any more responsibility than that of
the Governor or State of almost
100000 people?' inquiries the Press.
The treasurer of Newport News gets
about $1,000 annually The city SER
geant gets almost as much In Nor
folk. Richmond and other Virginia
cities there are officials who get sew
eral thousand dollars more than these
Newport News oficials
We are against the fee system for
many reasons, one of which is that
the fee system causes n great and
wholly unnecessary waste of public
money The money now spent by
county officers un feathering their
nests ought to be expended for the
benefit of the people. Why should we
pay an official $4,000 for ordinary
clerical work which is done by sub
ordinate? Why should we pay him
so much when his work is not worth
half the sum named? Why should we
pay county politicians twice as much
as the chief executive of the Common
wealth? We give a college president,
man OF brains and business ability,
$1,000 but we give a county officer
or city officer $4,000. Why?

SCIENCE AND nAGr1ME.

DR.. Drummer, late instructor in the
Imperial Academy OF Medical Research,
Berlin, thus describes the effect of
ragtime music:
Your ragtime air jars the nerve
centers and causes an irritation of the
brain cells. While the roll and thump
of ragtime is exhilarating to the
! senses and acts as stimulant it has
the after effects of an injurious drug
that VIII eventually stagnate the brain
/ cells and wreck the nervous system
The doctor also remarks that 1t is
the little minds that are crazy with
ragtime. This scientific observation
can be considered a test to show the
size OF ones mind. Moreover, he says
that If something isn't done the classics
VIII vanish and we shall be singing
our national airs in ragtime.
Why do the general run of people
like ragtimeY Why do they demand
1T? Simply because it is the only kind
of music that they come into contact
with. They hear classical music In
the form of sacred music, but rarely
elsewhere. They frequent the theatres
"ncre ragtime is rarely interrupted
by something of a higher sort They
never have an opportunity to know
classical music, real music until they
are too habituated TO ragtime to alter
their tastes. Even the young girl
musical student. preferring the better
KIND plays ragtime when the boys
come around. She knows that they
would be bored by Beethoven.
When classical music is really popu-
harized, and when the people are made
to realize that good music is not one
OF the exclusive luxuries of the rich,
then the reign of ragtime will be over.
