NOT ALTOGETHER AN ANGEL
Beautiful Child Had . VIII ~ Her

Abundantlv Proved.

A tall, well-gowned young woman
entered one Of the city department
stores, accompanied by an angelic
looking little girl 81 three years.
'What q bea1tiful childr" tho
shoppers murmured Is she passed.
From one counter to another the
two went, purchasing gloves :
white lace veil, some rose pink rib
bon, that the mother held under her
daughters chin and then looked ct
her child, to zee the effect, which
the saleswoman declared perfect.
All the time the child was sweet
fy acquiescent in al her mothez's
plans.
Once or twice she spoke quietly
to her mother, who answered her by
saying, perhaps, later" and
smiled.
Suddenly q change came over the
angelic face. It was like q great
black thundercloud passing over the
face Of the sick.
81 won't stop teasing" shrieked
the Angelic One, IT won't. I want
chocolate ice cream! / will have it
I will! I willY' The voice rose in
a shrek of rage and determination.
Then she threw her dainty self to
the floor and rolled over and over.

Lo0CHoOs A PRIMITIVE RACE
Little Known People Of Japan Adhere
70 Their Ancient Customs and
Mode Of Living.

At Shur, the ancient capital Of
the Loochoos, Japan, about two
miles from Naha, are the castle and
tombs Of the old Loochooan kings.
The last king, who was made q Jap
anese marquis at the time Of his re-
tirement, still lives here. At Ito

ere said to be the descendants Of
some Portuguese sailors who were
wrecked there over four hundred
years ago. They are larger than the
Loochooans, and show foreign blood
In their features.
The dress Of the native Loochoo-
ans, Of both sexes and all ages, con-
sists of q single piece garment,
which is loosely woven from banana
fiber, resembling the cloth from the
same material in the Philippines.
The design Of this cloth varies lit

are worn, but no shoes.
Their burial customs are curious
The horseshoe or turtle back shaped
tombs, usually located ON a hillside
facing the water, are elaborate af-
fairs Of stone and cement, and their
construction must be rather costly.

RECoMrENsE FOR Y. NJ. l.

After nearly half a century, hope Of remun-
GRAFTON for the destruction of the Virginia
Ml.ssry institute by the federal army under
command of General Hunter looms bright
ahead Senator Dupont, of Delaware, has
Joined with Virginia representatives in con-
rress to urge that restitution be made to Nir-
xinia's military school, s214.72S.62 being ask
ed as the just sum due
This amount does not include the value of
the institute barracks, the destruction of
which may be regarded as legitimate exercise
Of the rights of the invading army derived
from the exigencies of war. The total value
of the property destroyed has been estimated
q, close to 100000, but everything which
might give cause excuse for refusal TO make
recompense has been eliminated and Virginia
gees to congress with equity.
That the destruction Of the institute I'M
warranted by the needs of the occasion was
the belief of many OF General Hunters lieu
tenants among whom were the late President
William Mckinley and Senator Dupont These
two were particularly urgent in their attempts
~ dissusde him from setting fire to the build
ings and, in.eed, it is difficult to understand
swhy scientific apparatus and academic and
engineering departments should have been
burned. Possibly General Hunter conceived
II his duty to put the torch to these buildings.
Possibly he looked upon the entire school as
one for the creation of soldiers who would
bear arms against his government Possibly
he was actuated by motives of revenge and
hatred. 1t does not matter. 1t can be seen
nifty years after that his action not neces-
nary. some of his leutenants having seen ii
even at that time. One of them Is now seek

and his influence in the senate OF reunited

Partisan politics. we believe, will play mt
part In this effort to secure justice. Senator
Dupont Is Republican and federal veteran
ard working with him are Democrats and
Southerners. In the past sectional feeling was
too strong for hope of success. Today We

THE TARIFF, CURRENCY AND PANICs.

Lesies Weekly gets the cart before the horse
when it says that President Taft. in his latest
message to congress, asks for a downward
revision of the tariff. with due consideration
for the interests of capital and labor" What
President Taft really asks for is due consid-
Grafton for the interests OF capital in revising
the tariff downward, something which he OPP
poses but against which he acknowledges II
is useless for him to protest.
After giving its Interpretation of what the
message asks for, Leslie's puts this query:
who could take exception to the policy thus
laid DOWN."
Lesies Weekly for one, which has always
opposed tariff revision downward, and which
is never so happy as when shouting industrial
depression at every mention of "tinkering
with the sacred tariff schedules. and the Repub-
lican leaders for Others inasmuch after six
teen years in power 1t goes out with not a
piece of currency legislation which win or
! should live. President Taft does ask for cur
rency reform as Leslie's states. but that reform
the reactionary Republican party, of which
Lesle's is one of the staunchest supporters,
has stubbornly refused to give.
In this matter of tariff and currency legs-
lation there is one thing we have never been
able to understand, anyway. "A panic is due;
New York business interests fear trouble;
industrial depression is certain"-these are
the explanatory and decamatory expressions
continually poured out from Wall Street and
the standpat press Are they true? II SO,
why do not these business interests" keep
ii quiet? 1t is something new under the sun
that in the face of impending panic those who
are to suffer most should seek to bring on that
which they fear by everlastingly talking about
il. Business interests do not fear industrial
inactivity or industrial panic; the gamblers and
spectators hope for it, and it is these that are
doing the most of the squealing in the vain
hope that they will bring on that which they
affect to fear
If financial panic should come the Ameri-
can people, thanks to President-Elect Wilson's
plain talk and to disclosures made by the
money trust committee, will know who is to
blame II it come certain financial masters OF
Wall Street will have brought 1t on for their
own benefit. In the language OF Mr.. Wilson,
''Will they dare?"

JUST A FEW QUESTIONS.

Those who knew 1t in the irsr place seem
to have forgotten that all this novel uproar
over the so-called Farmers banks originated
IN Germany and has been for years studied and
advocated in this country by the Hon. Myron
T. Herrick, formerly a banker in Cleveland,
Ohio ana now United States ambassador to
France" says the grouchy Stanton Ne,os.
The Eeos is mistaken. None OF those ad-
vocating rural credit will let us forget a min
ute that the idea originated In Germany, ap-
parently laying more stress on that fact than
any other. The NeDs probably forgot and then
suddenly remembered and mistook It's own
"forgettery' for everybody elses. And why
does the Netos calls it an uproar? An uproar
is what advocates of the plan are vainly seek
ing to stir up, and we wish them success in
their efforts. One more question, and we ars
through; If the plan originated in Germany
So long ago and has been advocated in this
country for years, why call 1t novel? Move

1t is not surprising therefore that Governor
Wilson should desire in his cabinet men who
are politicians. Merit they must possess, and
knowledge of the business with which they
have to deal, but they must be versed in poll
ties in the science of government. He rec
ognizes two kinds OF cabinets. One Ia COM
posed of men who know politics and one OF
those who know business. He wants little
OF both, and if he can find men in whom there
resides knowledge of both he will be fortu-
nate. Some of affairs on whom he can
rely, but who lack political training. and some
men of political training but not too well ac-
auainted with business affairs. would make a
good cabinet, but nine men each combining
both qualifications within him would be
the ideal.
President Wilson is going to select his own
cabinet, and 1t is we'll that 1t should be So
II borders on presumption to advise him whom

he needs men in harmony with himself. AS
he knows his views and intentions better than
he can tell them, he knows better what men
will be in harmony with him. Should he Sc

Dog Protected; Child Is Not.

Editor of The virginian:
Sir,--A child playing the street starts to
run. A dog sources behind. sezing the child
by the leg and inflicts q painful wound. The
mother of the child requests the sner of the
dog to have the dog killed a protective meas
ure to her own children and others. The own
er or the dog refuses. The mother OF the child
and owner OF the dog are finally summoned to
court on the ground that dog that attacks a
child can only be shot by order of the Judge.
The mother Of the child promptly obeys the
order of the court, the owner Of the dog ignores
It: the mother Is again summoned to appear a
week later. and again promptly obeys. She
is then confronted by a number OF persons. who
did not see the dog bite the child, but who
testified to the good character of the dog prev
iously to its having bitten the child And upon
this testimony the court decided In favor OF the
dog against the mother and child. The
dog granted hearing. the child practi-
cally denied one, as the wound on her leg was
not even examined.
1t must be very gratifying to the public as
well consoling to the parents of this city
In know that he angus court, sitting in the
City hall basement, cares less for the safety
and protection of children than 1t does for the
preservation Of the lives of vicious dogs No
comment upon the danger of dogs bite Is ne
cessary, 1t is we'll known. Yet dogs are allowed
to run the streets lab ibtum," unmuzzed and
unmolested (even If they attack our children).
A medal which costs the owner one dollar at

street and protection Of the court.

POLITICIANS AND STATESMEN.

II has become the custom to the word
politician dsparagingly and to set over against
1t as it's antithesis the word Statesmen" In
stead OF being synonyms as formerly, these
two words have become antonyms.
Strictly speaking. the two words are the same.
"One versed experienced in the science of
government" is definition that might apply
10 either. Webster gives this definition OF
politician" with the added lone devoted to
politics: statesman"
There is this difference, however poll
tician may be versed in the science of govern
ment and devoted TO politics without being a
statesman of the higher type His knowledge
may be used to further the interests of a
PARTY or OF a faction of the party and espe-
cially of himself. He may be INSCRIPTIONS In

cannot be statesman without being a poll

when we find a man yersed in the science Of

Room For the Morgan Collection.

The priceless Morgan collection is confined
to no branch Of art The paintings ir-
clude great works alike OF ancient and modern

said. and Mr.. Morgan Is becoming impatient

has even threatened to send them to his native

There Is a national side to this matter. Many
would these art objects II they placed
on exhibition in New York. while comparatively
few would go to Hartford to them. For
the good Of the country q whole they should
be kept in the countrys metropolis-and they
doubtless will be.
II need be they be exhibited in the north
wing of the Art Museum, but Il the city next
month authorizes the construction OF a south
wing the collection will doubtless be held TO
be rightly and advantageously displayed in 1t.
The cost of the south wing will be $750,o0o
and no doubt New York city will authorize its
construction in January The money will be
forthcoming and Mr.. Morgan can be trusted to
do what is best under the circumstances
To people living outside Of the big city the
hope comes that the collection will be held ia

The offer of Canada to contribute as it's share
OF the defense of the British Empire three
super-dreadnaughts may have far-reaching
effect. 1t is expected to spur Australia and
South Africa to similar gifts to the mother
country, making nine warships annually
for the imperial defense. Winston Churchill,
lord of the admiralty, has taken pains to state
that England will go ahead as before In add
ing to her navy, which means five or six ships
yearly. An addition of fourteen dreadnaughts
to Great Britain's navy every year would near
ly bankrupt her rivals in efforts to keep up
with her, and the result might be an end of
the contest between Great Britain and Ger
many.
