Calmly shines the midday sun,
Viewing the High School.
And our work. all done.
Quiet. peaceful stiffness
Where this gay crowd used to be,
To us brings some sadness
For so gay were we.

We are sad, for we must leave;

To you still we cleave.
High School we're leaving
Your dear rooms in which we said,
With our great learning
Lessons hard we'd read.
We are all now mournful
For the days now past and dead.
But. too, we are joyful
DER our records made.

We are so sad We want to cry;

THURSDAY. JULY IS, 1912.

.
Now that the date of the Con
occasional Primary has teen set
tor August 24th. the voters of
district should prepare themsel-
yes TO render a decision between
the two aspirants for the Office.
These gentlemen are Hon. w.
A Jones, the present incumbent,
and Hon. S. K. Buxton Of New
port News.
The Journal will support Mr..
Jones because of what seems to
us several eood and sufficient rea-
sons viz: our great confidence in
his integrity and ability. a feeling
Justified by his record in Congress
during the past twenty years. and
the knowledge that his long ser
vice and his knowledge of men
and events gained thereby will
enable him to give more efficient
service TO the people Of this dis
.lrict than any new man could
hope to do. In addition to these
reasons it is patent that should
Mr.. Wilson be elected. which we
sincerely believe he will, Mr..
Jones as an original Wilson man
will be in thorough sympathy
with the administration and his
influence and prestige much aug
,mented.
We take this position with all
good will toward Mr.. Buxton
who is a clean. high man and we
trust that the campaign will be
devoid Of bitterness. We are out
to win this year and can not az
ford TO become split by factional
differences, We submit. howev-
er. that the conditions as bove
set forth entitle Mr.. Jones to the
support of this people.

PRAYERS AND POLITICS.

L he oni- ;cst criticism we have
seen of The Baltimore Convention
proceeds from the pen of Rev.
George GOwen of Mathews coun-
ty, who was an attendant on its
sessions. Speaking Of the pray
ers with which each session of the
body was opened. this clergyman
deplores the fact that they were
political IN their nature in several
instances, and he notes tina" The
prayer that evoked the most APP
plause" was the shortest offered
and also the most imbued with
democratic sentiment.-Va. Pilot.

Poets in a Duel OF Verses
Hall Cane Answers Npling's Attack on Woman Suffrage

LONDON.-FTall Game has writ
ten poem entitled The Mother of
the Man, which answers Rudyard
Kipling's recent rhymed attack on
woman suffrage, the refrain Of which
ran, For the female of the species is
more deadly than the male The
Hall Caine answer follows:
When the Lord of creation gave the
woman to the man,
In that blest but brief existence ere
the rule of i'll began,
Then He knew what of her conduct,
whether innocent or frail,
That the female of the species would
be scapegoat to the male.
When He banished them from Eden
for the sin that each had wrought
And the flaming sword of vengeance
sealed the fate that both had
sought,
Then He knew throughout the ages,
long as man should tell the tale,
That the female Of the species would
be temptress to the male.
When He cast His children from Him
and by primal earthly VOW
Doomed their seed to eat their life
bread in the sweat of blood and
brow,
Then He knew where paths were red
dest down the line of labor's trail,
There the female of the species
would be slavemate to the male.
When He lowered the man with pas
sions, when He formed him from
the dust,
With its wilderness of instincts, with
it's lava stream of lust,
Then He knew that in the whirlwind
of his manhOOd's wasteful gale
Still the female of the species would
be subject to the male.
When He ordered that the woman,
both as mother and as wife,
Should obey her law of being as the
vehicle of life,
Then He suffered it to happen lest
the generation fail,
That the female of the species might
be "deadlier" than the male,

THE DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY.
Charged That Labor Leaders of Ma

An Indianapolis dispatch says:
That several lnbor leaders of ma
tiOnal prominence are involved in
the dynamite conspiracy, the investi-
cation into which is to be resumed
here next week, is the statement of
one of the government officials con-
nected with the inquiry. Under a
federal statute even the smallest con-
spirators are principals in the crime
and it is the plan of the investigators
to reach the small as well as the
big men.
One of the important witnesses for
the government will be Frank Eek
hoff of Cincinnati, an intimate friend
of the McNamaras, who it is believ-
ed is in charge of one of Detective
Burns men. He will appear before
the grand jury next week and will be
followed by Ortie McManigal.

WHAT A MANS SUIT COSTS.
The Tariff Board Traces 1t From the
Sheen's Rack to the Mearer.

Sleeps Back to the Wearer.
In it's report to President Taft on
the wool schedules the tariff board
named to investigate the wool situa-
ton made an attempt to analyze
market conditions thoroughly and
some of their specific statements are
of special interest
The board analysed the cost of a
suit of clothes, such as the average
man wears, and the results are of in
terest to all men regardless of wheth-
er they care to delve into the deli
cacies of the tariff.
A suit which costs $25 in the av-
erage retail store was followed by
the board back to the American
sheep farm. 1t is stated by the board
that the farmer receives $2.23 for the
wool which enters into the manufac-
ture of such a suit. The farmers
profit on this wool is IS cents The
cloth manufacturer receives $4.78
for the goods made into the suit,
with profit of % cents. The whole
sale dealer receives $16.5O for the
clothing, with a profit of $218,
while the retailer charges $23, MAX
