LAW AND ORDER


tried in the Mayors Court this
week for violations of the local op.
ton laws of the community. 1t is
said that blind tigers" have done
a furnishing business in Lexington
for some time. The men and women
who conduct these places are a great
menace 10 the community. The ef-
feet OF these dens is to debauch the
old and lead astray the young. Not
only do they sell liquors, but the
stuff they dispose of is of the vilest
sort, doctored and adulterated with
ingredients that are extremely inju-
rious to the unfortunates who drink
such concoctions.
1t is hopeful sign that a number
OF respectable and influential citi-
zens made point to visit the May
or's trials of these cases so as to
give the weight or their influence
and moral support to the proper ad-
ministration OF the law, thus indi-
eating that the best element OF our
citizenship is in earnest in Kidding
the town of the disreputable dives
that stand for decentralization and
defiance of law.
The roll-call Of the chief offenders
in the liquor raids made last Satur-
day night will reveal the names OF
those who have been responsible in
recent years for most OF the disord-
ers in the community. The list will
be. found to include the names OF
those who last summer precipitated
disorders that resulted in a police
officer of the town being forced Il
shoot one of the offenders in the de-
Tense of his own life when being at
tackled with deadly missile, and
for which the officer, in the dis.
charge OF his duty in serving a war
rant for disorder, now stands con.
victed with penitentiary sentence
facing him. Hundreds of the best
people OF Lexington and Rock bridge,
including members OF the faculties
OF Washington and Lee University,
the Virginia Military Institu te, pro-
feSsional men, lawyers, physicians
and ministers, feeling that the YER
dict was too severe, signed a petit
ton to Governor Mann urging that
a pardon be granted the officer.
The Governor now has the petition
under consideration.
The conviction OF this officer has
had a tendency to encourage def.
ance TO law by this element in our
community. Another illustration
of this was shown when Chief OF Pc
lice Parent and Deputy Sheriff
Weeks last Saturday night raideC
the home CT Mrs. Cummings in
search of liquor. Her son, Viii
Cummings, attempted to resist tn,
authority Of the officers and proven
them from taking charge of barre
OF beer. He laid hold of the officer,
in this attempt, and force had to b.
used to overcome him. 1t will b.
recalled that Hugh Cummings. tn
man who was shot and killed, wa
his father.

HARRY WHITNEY
 ARCTIC EXPLORER

With money enough to indulge him self in every luxury and push buttons for a, living. Harry. Whitney, the mil, lionaire Arctic explorer, hunter and ranchnan, has undergone hardships that would cause the stoutest heart to quail. His innate love of sport and adventure has driven him far beyond the beaten paths of civilization into the trackless wastes of snow and ice where his wealth is poWerless to pro- vide the most ordinary Comforts The most daring of all the Arctic Nim- rods was born in New Haven, Conn.,, thirty-nine years ago Dec. l, 1873
 After leaving school Mr- Whitney en. tered an Ansoina.

 g seal-shooting expedition to Port aux Pasque and the Gulf of the St Law renee and on returning to New York he brought with him five baby seals which he presented to the Bronx Zoo. The trip to the sealing grounds was made in the Neptune. in command of Capt. R. A. Bartlett, who was lne skipper of the Roosevelt with Peary successful trip to the top of the earth Moving picture cameras formed part of the equipment. and many in tereSting pictures were taken.
 The Neptune had a narrow escape on this trip, the ice all but driving the vessel on the rocks at Fort au Port. The grinding ice carried the ship nearer and nearer the dangerous shore. and the 1ffe-saving boats were made ready. but a change Of Wlnd saved the daring adventures rom almost certain death A few days af- ter this incident the Neptune ran m to a pack of seals estimated by MT; Whitney to number about 5000. III luck came on the heels of this good fortune. however, and for thirty-seven days the staunch wha1er was damned in an ice-pack, unable to turn wheel The wireless apparatus refus- ed to work, and for over five weeks the party was cut off from communi- cation with the shore.
 During his long residence among the Esquinaux MT. Whitney has made a close study of that strange people, ana has added much to the ethnological Knowledge of their habits and modes of life He is prominent in the so- eiety of New York and New Haven, a member of a number of exclusive clubs, and is equally at home in an igloo or a drawing room.

 Even in the traditional school branches every effort is made to cor relate the school work with the real life Of the pupils Spelling lessons con- tain words taken from the State min ing law.

opinion among the best educators cef- tainIy is that the child learns too lit- tie that is of utility and that public education should bear a nearer rela . ton to the tasks the child will have to perform in adult life.
 The public school system has grown up in a haphazard way. It has done a great work and is still doing a great work, imperfect as it is. Great changes are soon to be made in the system Great changes have been made in many localities. Just what the perfected and completed system of the future will be nobody knows. It will be better.
 As for the number of hours that school will keep" each day, it may be more than five, but it will be less than eight.
 Eight hours in the immediate fu- ture will be the longest day of the adult toi1er, and it is unlikely that a longer day, or one as long, will oe laid upon adolescent youth.
