Acrimony and recrimination ant

arabic from the three corneret

is now undergoing, but it does ap.
pear that there should be some

vice presidential candidate on the
ticket of the National Progressive
party, declared that, at is with
shame as an American citizen that

ing character in all American his
tory is the President of the United
States"
Governor Johnson is a man of
many excellent qualities and un-
doubted achievements. He has
wrought well in his own State for
advancement and decent govern
ment.
But the sort of criticism he level
ed at Mr.. Taft were much better
left unsaid, not only because it is
undignitied as pertains to the Office,
but grossly exaggerated as it per-

We hold no brief. personal or

recognize in him a broad and cour-

there made mistakes at the instiga-

counselors. In that respect he is by
no means singular. But to hold
him up as the most humiliating
character in all American history"
is to utter a rasping and unfounded
which will find little
sympathy with lovers of fair play
IN this country. The annals of
America are tolerably we'll filled
with undesirable characters, as is

IN HEREDITY
IFS CERTAIN EFFECTS

Those who still repeat the dogma
that education is everything and in
heritance nothing are respectfully
requested to read the following
much-condensed bit of genealogy:
Back in the beginnings of New
England a woman named Elizabeth
futile married one Richard Ed
wards. She was a woman of great
beauty and remarkable intellect;
but her conduct was too unconven-
tional for the staid Puritan colony.
She bore several daughters and
one son. Then her husband secur-
ed divorce, and later married
again, raising a large family by his
second wife.
Here is a partial list of the emf
nent descendants of Elizabeth Tut
tie and Richard Edwards:
Jonathan Edwards.
Jonathan Edwards, Jr., President
of Union College.
Timothy Dwight, President of
Yale.
Serene Edwards Dwight, Presi-
dent of Hamilton College.
Timothy Dwight Woolsey, Presi-
dent of Yale.
Timothy Dwight H., President OF
Yale.
Theodore w. Dwight, founder of
Columbia Law School.
Merrill Edwards Gates, President
Of Amherst.
Aaron Burr.
Ulysses S. Grant.
Grover Cleveland.
On the other hand, not one OF
he descendants OF Richard Ed
wards by his second wife has risen
above mediocrity.
He who can deny heredity in the
ACE Of a record like that, has the
'aith which moves nothing, but
lalts much.-[Chicago Journal.

GIRL INSTANTLY KILLED
BY LIGHTNING IN STORM
Brother Was Rendered UncOn.
sciOus and Burned-BOth
Seeking Shelter.

The greensboro Messenger of
Wednesday says:
During a heavy electrical storm
which swept over Stanley at noon
Tuesday, Miss Myrtle Johnson, a
sixteen-year-old girl, was instantly
killed by a bolt of lightning, and
her brother, John Johnson, receiv-
ed severe burns about his face and
chest, which will cause him to re-
main belfast for several days. The
accident occurred on the farm of
DR.. Keene, which is several miles
from Stanley, on the Laketown
road.
The young girl and her brother
were working in a tobacco field,
when the storm broke in all its
fury. The couple started across
the field to seek shelter in a barn.
When they were within ten yards
of the barn, the lightning struck
the girl killing her instantly and
throwing her brother to foreground
in an unconscious condition. One
of the mules they had been driving
was also killed by the lightning.
Farm hands who were in the barn
saw the lightning strike the wagon,
and rushed to where John Johnson
was lying on the ground. He was
revived, but when the men picked
up the body of his sister, which
was badly burned and almost nude,
the lightning having torn her cloth
ing to shreds, the brother fell to
the ground in a swoon. The body
of the dead girl was removed to the
home of her parents, who reside on
the farm, where preparations were
made for burial.
According to the farmers of the
Stanley district, the storm was one
of the heaviest in years. For TWEEN
ty minutes hail stones the size of
quail eggs fell, doing much damage
to the tobacco and corn crops. 1t
is said that many of the crops were
ruined by the hail and rain. Fol-
lowing the hail storm. the rain fell
In torrents for over an hour.

THE OPEN AIR SCHOOLS
FOR ANAEMIC CHILDREN
Show Rapid Growth-Increase
From One to 200 in
Five Years.

With the opening of the fall
school term, over 200 open air
schools and fresh air classes for tu-
berculous, and anaemic children,
and also for all children in certain
rooms and grades, will be in OPP
Grafton in various parts of the
United States, according to a state
ment just published by The Nation
al Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
All of these schools, the associa-
ton says, have been established
since January, 1907, when the first
institution of this character was
opened in Providence, r. |. On
January LIST, 1910, there were only
10 open air schools in this country
and a year later the number had
increased only to 30. Thus, the
real growth in this movement has
been within the last two years.
Massachusetts now leads the
States with sc fresh air schools and
classes for tuberculous, anaemic and
other school children, Boston alone
having over eighty. New York
comes next with 20, and Ohio is
third with 81. Open air schools
have now been established in near
ly 80 cities in 10 different States.
Based on figures OF population
and mortality furnished by the
United States Bureau of the Cen
sus, it is estimated that not less
than 100000 children now in
school in the United States will die
of tuberculosis before they are
eighteen years of age, or that
about 1000 of these children die
from this one disease. Es-
that on an average each
child who dies from tuberculosis
has had six years of schooling, the
aggregate loss to this country in
wasted education each year
amounts to we'll over $1,OOO,OOO.
This loss and much of the incl
dent suffering could be materially
decreased II open air schools or
classes for these children and those
who are sickly and anaemic were
provided. The National Associa-
ton estimates that there should be
one such school for every $4,000
population, especially In cities.

A Famous Socialist

Fred d. Warren, editor OF the Appeal
to Reason will be in Salem Monday,
October 21st, afternoon and evening"
when he will speak at the Armory
The Appeal to Reason has the largest
circulation of any newspaper In the
world, and this fact is due because
they have the most able editor in the
United States at their head. Fred D.
Warren is a class conscious working
man. and holds the distinction Of be-
ing the only man who ever received
an unsolicited pardon from the presi-
dent of the United States, and the only
man who ever returned presidential
pardon to the occupant of the White
House. Warren was up before the
federal court on charge of offering
a reward for the kidnapping Of eX-
Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, and his
return to the authorities, Haywood
Mover and Pettibone had been kid
naped and taken from their home state
to Idaho. Warren desired to show
that kidnapping would be declared ille
| gal If 1t was not a workingman and
labor unlonist that was the victim

After a long, tedious suit Warren was
to serve six months in jail
and a fine of $500. Warren delivered
himself to- the authorities, but was told
to await until they were ready to lock
him up. Finally a pardon came from
President Taft who also remitted all
but 500 Of the fine imposed And to
this day the $1OO remain unpaid.
Warren is called "The Fighting Ed
itor of the Appeal" and by some the
Human Bomb" 1t is true that he is
a veritable arsenal of facts and fig
ures, and understands the economic
situation in the United States better
than any other speaker on the plat
form. Mr. Warren will speak on the
political Revolution of 1922 and as
a close student of political and eco
nomic subjects, he will doubtless be
able to hand out some astounding in
formation for the enlightenment Of the
voter. Questions will be solicited in
regard to his talk and the Socialist
philosophy, and any one who is in
doubt about the subject will be well
repaid by having their problems
solved by one who knows.

PRAGMATISM IN POLITICS.

An English writer has recently
pointed out that popular elections
may 20 through the same develop
ment as did the jury system which,
in the beginning, merely registered
the opinions of twelve men, until 1t
gradually became obvious that their
opinions must be formed under fair
procedure then the process itself was
so developed and the interviewing Of
witnesses so controlled that these
processes finally became the really
essential features Of the trial.
America has long been concerned
that the registration Of the voters
opinion at election should be fairly
done, and to this end has instituted
the Australian ballot system and many
another device, but has as yet done
little to develop a careful method by
which the voters might form a sound
judgment
The published accounts Of the var
lous efforts to manufacture opinion,
which preceded the party conventions
this year, and Of the enormous ex-
pendlture Of money which these eff
forts entalled, have made the public
cautious, and as a result, all the par
ties are perforce driven to the prag-
matte method, If one chooses to call
Iit so. Politicians are ready, as never
before, to conduct the campaign upon
educational lines, to drop that over
simpliflcation Of current problems to
which a campaign always tends, and
to stem the flow Of political eloquence
by a painstaking presentation Of fact.
The educational value Of the cur
Trent presidential campaign is most Inn
portant to the American voter, ire
spectlve Of the party which claims
Ibis vote. A new method is being
evolved freed from the old shibboleths
and fitted to our industrial develop
ment.-Jane Adams, in The Survey
