BY DOROTHY DIX.

Mr.. A. G. Howe asks.
What is true lover
To this question Mr.. John s. Rosa
makes the following beautiful reply:
What is true love? 1t is the bene-
diction of God to the human race, the
essence of His divine nature. 1t is a
sensitized natural element in our being
which radiates and manifests its indwell-
ing by the saying of kind words and the
doing Of loving deeds and those things
which will please the object of it's af-
fection.
1T is force so great. so sweet, that
We cannot help but feel it. From youth
to old age it asserts Itself. and, animated
by its quickening influence. We do things
that no other earthly power could in
duce US to perform. True love will stand
the test Of time. Poverty cannot shake
II: money cannot buy it; enemies cannot
kill 1t; old age cannot wither it; the rich
cannot monopolize It.
1T Is as free and invigorating as air.
Its language is universal To us it is
what the sunshine is to the flower; what
the compass Is to the vessel 1t stimu-
lates us to action 1t sharpens the senses
and refreshes the soul.
There nave been many examples OF
true love. One of the greatest was given
by the wife of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus,
Of the French army, who, when her hus-
band was publicly degraded. and all man.
ner Of calumnies were told about him.
remained faithful to him. Parisians
laughed at her 'naivete; but in the face
Of the whole world. she declared her
belief in his innocence, and her deter
m1natiop to prove that the charges
against him We're false.
Nine. Dreyfus Example.
In letter written to her from the
lie du Diable. Capt. Dreyfus said:
"1n my dark cell, in the tortures of
my soul. it is to you that turn. my dear
wife, who in these sad and terrible mo-
ments have shown for me a devotion
without boundaries. a love illimitable.
Continue to sustain me with your pro-
found love; aid me in this awful struggle
for my honor. and let me feel your beau
tiful soul throbbing close to mine
Another story, beautiful and pathetic
in its details, is a fitting answer to A. G.
Howes question. What is true love?' II
is the story of Miss Nellie White, a
young woman, beautiful and aristocratic
cultivated, talented. a darling of society
who married DIR. Brinkerhoff. Of Homo
lulu, and went with him to work among
the lepers of Molokai.
For two years and half she cheered

ALL-BLACK COSTUMES
HAVE BRIGHT TOUCH

Although there are comparatively few
all-black costumes. there are many frocks
and suits in black relieved with a touch
of bright color, and there is a great deal
of black and white, although this also
Is relieved with a gay touch.
The bright colors form one of the spring

READ LESSON FROM ROCKINGHAM.

In comprehensive editorial review OF tho
recent election In which the Democrats lost In
Rockingham county the Clifton Forge Rerieu
completely explodes the theory advanced by
the Roanoke Times and few others that the
Democratic ticket went down to defeat be-
cause of the failure Of the dry element to
support It. We have already quoted Senator
Keezeiis own paper the Rockingham Record
acauitting the temperance people OF any such
charge Concluding Its discussion of the situa-
ton the Rcpicp says:
We think we have shown conciustvely that
the question of wet and dry cut little

is that nominations shall be made by primaries,
No Democratic County Committee is law unto
itself and the Democratic County Committee Of
Rockingham should have ordered county
primary. We have not the slightest doubt that
had 1T done SO the nominees OF the primary
would have been elected by good majority
We do not believe that the Democratic Com
mittee had an option to Aominate by convention

legislation. their minipulations to concentrate
the business Of the country more and more in
their own hands, their corrupt negotiations with
politicians, all have thoroughly disgusted the
average American. who wants the doctrine Of
a fair deal TO live and develop, that the afore-
said average American will not be satisfied with
any mere formal reorganization Of the business
methods of those who have sought to exploit
and to govern him. big Business has brought
its troubles upon its own head. Wars have been
waged and blood split for usurpations less glar-
ing and invasions of popular rights less fragrant
than those OF which big Business has been
guilty.

just deserts by their ability to carry on long
legal contests. A few jail sentences will do
more to break up wIful violation of the law
than all other methods and influences combined.

strongly favor the adoption OF the four ward

and because have abiding faith in the

two branches Of the City Council we believe that
the measure will be adopted
OF course II will have the result Of turning
half OF the membership OF these bodies

that by reason OF its making the Councils mem.

acted more expeditously.

government will place the government in the
hands OF a Commission with executive and leg

to initiate legislation and to vote on the larger
questions of city policy from time TO time. In
other words Il Commission form Of government
seems to best suited for municipalities.
However, are strong advocates of home
rule and we believe that the next General AS
serbly should inaugurate all proper eonstitu-
tionaI changes necessary 10 give the cities and
towns of the State the right to adopt such forms
of municipal government they deem best
suited to their several situations
The report of the special committee composed
OF members OF the Council and citizens will be
considered tonight at a meeting of the Councils
Committee on Charter Ordinance and Reform.
1t is to be believed that the gentlemen consts-
tuting this committee will give the matter that
careful and favorable consideration its impor-
lance warrants. No question of Its effect upon
the political fortunes of the members of the
Council should be allowed to influence the &C
ton of Committee or Council and We do not be-
lieve that such a consideration will be potential

Richmond learned with regret that President
Taft had been compelled by indisposition to
cancel his engagement to speak here yesterday
morning at the opening session of the Good
Roads Congress
Richmond is always glad to give cordial greet
ing to the Chief Executive of the nation not
only because of the high office he occupies, but
because of the personal esteem in which he is
held. We never inquire the politics OF our guests
They are as welcome II they be our political foes
as they would be Il they were of our polt-
zeal vine and fig tree
We sincerely trust that the President will
speedily recover from his aiment and that he
may be in good physical trim long before the
Thanksgiving turkey demands justice from his
appetite.
