A CRIME PREVENTIVE.

The Chicago Nelos is of the opinion that
the greatest advantage of the vocational
school is its effectiveness in preventing crime
II reasons as follows:
The rescuing of young people from idle and
vicious lives ~ an important part OF the work OF
vocational training. In fact. the whole basis
of vocational schools just as of general schools
IL moral But II must always be kept in mind
that the work of education is positive not mega
tive Crime Is best prevented nv getting young
people started in the right direction. 1t Is
funda mental that this be done only by en-
Raring their interest on the right side.
There is nothing truer than the old adage
6Ii lled into our ears when we were children
1.-The devil always finds work for idle
hands to do" The vocational school makes
10 good substitute for the devil.

THE POPULAR VOTE.

After a defeat everybody. winners and
losers, study the figures hoping to ma some
&C nsolation, II losers and to gloat over the
m 81 iorities n winners. In the popular vote
fer president on November 9Th, there is little
to salve the wounds of the Elephant ana the
Bull, Moose. Mr.. Wilson received plurality
q. more than 100000 over Roosevelt and OF
nearly 100000 over Taft. The combined
vote OF Roosevelt and Taft exceeded that Oh
Wilson by little more than million out oil
total vote of about fifteen million votes.
To say that Wilson won because the Hepoo-
lican party was split is to ignore the proDaon
ties. With a radical candidate ana con-
scrvatiye candidate opposing him he held the
full strength of his party. The Republican
party split because half of Its members were
rot Republicans Had there been no indie
roras,t candidate for the radicals to vote for
manv of them would have voted for pro-
gregsiye of another party. Had there Deeh
ro conservative candidate OF their own party
I'll the field many of the conservative wing OF
the G. O. r. would have voted for the pro-
yressive in preference to the radical How
r,arv ~ these there would have been to vote
for Wilson in either case in a question lost
IN the realms of speculation. The indisputabie
fact is that there would have been many On
the other hand there is no reason to believe
that Wilson would have lost more than hand
ful of votes had there been but one candidate
IN onnosition. Many conservatives voted for
Wilson to defeat Roosevelt. but had Roosevelt
not been In the field the loss OF these would
have been offset by the gain from the radicals
who would have voted for Wilson to defeat
Taft. Wilson held the full Democratic vote
when Democrats had the choice of radical ana

net leave him under these circumstances II
is idle to contend that any considerable mum
Der Of them would have left him with only
one opposition candidate in the field and no
choice as between radical and conserva-

As between Bryan and Wilson there Is lit

RICHMOND AND sTAUNToN.

The Stanton Daily Leader gives evidence
Of jealous disposition. Staunton is plan
ming a big celebration in honor OF the Demo-
done the home OF his birth the honor to accept
its invitation to attend. refusing all others.
Richmond sought TO have the famous Virginian
present at her celebration. but failing. went
ahead and had q publication that even Staun-
ton. though having the advantage OF the pres
ence of Hamlet" might we'll envy. There Is
no reason. however why the Leader should
show that envious spirit toward Richmond.
People In this part OF the State hope the
Stanton celebration will be 'the biggest
kind OF a blowout" 1t wishes luck to Staun-
ton and hopes that thousands OF yirginians
will attend.
Says the Leader;
"Richmond city is having some trouble ar
ranging to play Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
President Elect Wilson found 1t impossible to
attend Richmond's proposed big jollincation,
and Richmond then bethought itself to Invite
President Taft to be present thinking. OF
course, that he would delight to take part In
celebrating his own electrocution but Mr.. tart
was Just compelled to send his regrets. Now
the show goes on without any bigger drawing
card than can be fashioned out of plain COM
mon folks.
why not adjourn the affair over to Staun'
ton and take part with us. brethren, In the
biggest kind of a blowout! We will treat
YOU right, and give you front seat at all the
,nct,ons, and we are counting on you. and
wan, you to come; We can't get along without
tycu"
! We can't adjourn II over because that ceie'
bration here Ia now matter OF history, bu'
many of us will accept the invitation, II toi
no other reason than to inform the people Of
the valley village that President Tart was
never invited to participate in Richmond's ceie
bration. There are SO many things going OF
! in the Capital city that the Leader Is excusa
BILE for getting mixed on dates and celebra
items.

SENTIMENT HAS CHANGED.

The Boston Transcript unWittngy Illus
u ates one of the signs of the times when' IN
re ferr;ng to a speech by Governor Vardaman,
~ Mississippi it says that considering the
source and the subject what senafor-Eiect
vardaman, of Mississippi, had to say in Prori-
dence about railroad accidents sounds con-
seryative."
1t did not sound conservative so much IN
comparison with former statements of the
uiss,ssinpian as in contrast with the thoughts
oy n few wears ago and the thoughts of today.
what was termed radical when Vardaman first
h, oke into the limelight is progressive today
and in few years 1t will probably be held
reactionary.
BRYAN was wild-eyed radical sixteen years
aro. real danger to our institutions, in the
minds of many, and n Mnatic In the eyes Of
those who lived in the past. Even today he
is little ahead OF the times but he is con-
sdered comparatively safe and sane. Often
4 radical is lunatic; more often he is man
who speaks for the future and whose ideas
will be adopted in later years. He is merely
ahead OF his times vardaman has not be-
come conservative. Public sentiment has
caught up with him, that's all.

STILL WORKING For DIsCORD.

It is evident that efforts are being
spared by the opposition to make the rough
road to successful Democratic admnistra-
ton still more rough. No road-drag Is being
employed by Republican and Progressive
newspapers and Republican and Progressive
leaders to smooth the way The difficulties
Of tariff revision will not be lessened by the
opposition; the supposed dangers of con-
fict between Bryan and Wilson are being
kept to the 'front.' currency reform, which
should not be partisan. is being hindered as
much as possible, and now comes the Pro-
gressive New York Press seeking to create
trouble in regard to the third term plank.
IL In not surprising that it should be SO To.
heckle the opposing party is supposed to be
legitimate and where believes that the
safety of the nation depends upon the sue
cess Of ones own party 1t is but natural
that all possible obstacles should be cast in
the way OF the party in pc YER In the mat
ter OF the single term it is especially fitting
that attempts to defeat the proposition and
at the same time to discredit the emocratic
party should come from that party which be-
lieves not only In two. but in three, four or
I've terms for one man, and which has already
wrecked one organization. The New YORK
Press could not consistently favor the single
term plank, and. II 1t thinks the best means
to defeat 1t 10 to throw the apple of discord
| into the Democratic party, 1t Is probably JUS
titled. from its point of view, in so doing.
Accordingly we are not surprised to find this
paragraph:
n Mr. Wilson were 10 come out f7tlv and un-
| eouiyocally at the beginning of his term. ana
saw that he would refuse to serve as president
| beyond four years in any circumstances, me me
course Of conyre~s and the action OF the STATES
would be simpIifed.
That Mr. Wilson will come out fatty and
oouivocably for the six-year, one-year amend
uent. we have no doubt. 1t is favored by
the partv platform and we believe Mr. Will
SON will support It, 1t is not necessary how
ever, for him to say at this time that he would
refuse a second term. To that he Is not
pledged by the Democratic platform and there
is nothing to be found in good policy to urge
him TO take such position. The Press itself
says that should the amendment be adopted
Mr.. Wilson'S term could not be heightened to
s;x wears. In this it Is right, but the same
reasons that forbid him from being bound by
ore proyision OF the amendment prevents him
from being bound by the other An amend
ment passed during his administration max
ling provisions concerning the emoluments OF
his office or the length of the term of that
office would not apply to him. and for the same
reasons the provision regarding the right OF
the president to succeed himself would not
apply.

ecutive committee OF the Dramatic
Order OF knights OF the Korassan. it
was decided to hold a ceremonial
meeting Of the order in this city on
Feb. 81, at which time a large class
is expected to be put through the
mysteries. The d. O. X. X. holds but
one meeting a year. and as the mem
bership is scattered all over the state,
these events are looked forward to
with much interest, and a large at
tendance is generally the rule. The
various committees in charge Of this
meeting are making very elaborate
plans for the gathering. and it is al
ready evident there will be things
doing OF a highly "dramatic"-and
otherwise-order.
