PITY POOR NICK.

Pity poor Nick Longworth! He Is in the
position OF a number of politicians whose
whole aim in life is to get job and who are
&c government.
In Ohio and other States there are number
c. these kinds of public servants who are torn
between Roosevelt and Taft, II they declare
fer Roosevelt they will lose Republican votes,
and II they declare for Taft they will lose
Roosevelt votes and they are not certain which
side polls the larger number of votes. More
over. the future is to be considered. II they
run for Office on the Bull Moose ticket and
lose they fear heing barred forever from the
C. O. p. If they win. another four years may
see the Republicans again in power and some
one else will get the party nomination,
number have tried to solve the problem by
saving that they will-Note for Roosevelt for
president but are still Republicans. This
gag is becoming more and more difficult to
work
But if others are having trouble, think of
poor Nick and what a quandary he must be in
Not only has he to look to his political present
and future, but to the peace of his family.
Ills pa-in-law is the Bull Moose candidate, and
Nick ia running for office on the Republican
ticket Evidently fearing that the pressure
would be too great. the Republican central
committee yanked him up and sternly inquired
how he stood At last he had to make his
position clear, and to his credit let it be said
that he made a virtue OF necessity and an

ESyN{, THE SCHooLHO{S SIS,

The suggestion to use the schoolhouses of
the States as social centers is not original with
Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Wilson or with any OF
eating that the movement to that end be-
pushed forward, These men have DONE much
to further the laudable proposal, but the
suggestion was made years ago. In virginia
il is not new--this being one of the purnoses
OF the Cooperative Education Association of
Virginia which has advocated that school
houses be used for public meetings or various
kinds and has done much to bring the patrons
and the schools into closer touch.
schooihouses for the use of the public and
school grounds for use by mothers and children
as parks would not only help the public and the
school children, but would bring the parents
ITO closer communion with the institution
which has much. and often more. influence
upon their children as they themselves have.
In the country districts particularly the
sehooihouses could be made useful. Lectures.
stereopticon views, public addresses. musical
concerts and other means OF education and
entertainment could be employed to bring the
public to the public schools
Thousands OF dollars spent for the cree
ticn and maintenance of schoolhouses, which
are used bui. few hours. In the day and for
b certain number of days in the year. The
proposition to have the polling places in the
sehoolheuses has It's drawbacks, but they could
be used for many public and quasi-public pur-
poses to great advantage. There is no reason
IS hy they should be unused more than half
the time. when there are many FOOD uses
TO which they could be put. To put them to
use would save money; it would result in bring
Ing parents and the schools into closer touch;
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1912-09-25


The only portion of this statement that
bears the slightest resemblance to the truth
is contained in the first sentence The marvel
&c that Mr. Roosevelt should have made such
a gigantic mistake as to touch the truth any
where in his speech.
Mr. Roosevelt is one of the mysteries of
the age One moment he Is appealing to the
God of Truth and the next he is putting TO
shame the Prince OF Lies. Even the latter
would not dare to say that Murphy wanted
Wilson. when all the world knows that he
voted for Clark, and IT was not until he cast
the solid vote for New York for the Speaker
that Mr. Bryan deserted and cast his vote for
Wilson. explaining as he did SO, that he would
vote for no candidate who received the vote
OF the New York delegation. Even he would
not say that Sullivan wanted Wilson when he
voted for Clark. Even he would not say that
Taggart wanted Wilson when he voted for
Marshall.
The truth of the matter is that the bosses
all the time fought against Wilson. MIR. Roose-
welt knew all this while making the statement
10 the contrary
He must have wondered at his own audacity
and at the gullbility OF the crowd which swal-
lowed his paIpably false statements.

notwithstanding heavy down pour

The campaign was the .quietest in

Little newspaper space WAS used
for the temperance cause, the local
ministry and the Anti-Saloon league

services were held morning and after
noon in the Centenary Reformed
