Uniting with the MethOdists OF the state.
the fight against liquor has been taken
up by the Baptists. The fight at this
time Is being aimed at the Virginia state
fair which is to he held here in October.
The Methodists started the ball in motion
by adopting resolutions protesting against
the sale of liquor on the grounds as det-
rimental to the morals of the young, re-
pugnant to the wishes of many thousands
of the visitors and because. of the many
pitiful sights seen on the grounds when
women and children are seeing the ex-
hibits. Now the Baptists have entered
the contest anti they are urging their
people to remain away until such time as
the officers shall discontinue the sale of
liquor on the grounds. The sentiment Is
against the sale of liquor in all sections,
and the protests against sale at the state
fair are being registered almost weekly.
First Trial of Colored Man.

WOMEN AT sHoPwoRk.

With aH that is being brought to public notice through the statements concerning the low wages which wo
 men and girls are paid, who are en pIoyed in garment factories. canning establishments or other lines of shop or store wdfk, it is made evident that it is the scant pay which has power fu4 influence on tine conduct of those employed and forces them into the ways Of vice and lives of degradation. That ii is impossible for them to live on the wages which they receive reQnIres extended study. but forms one of the big questions for the large cities to wf>est}e with and provide inn proved conditions.
 In this connection the fact that there are such large numbers continually seeking just that kind of employment is significant and at once arouses the query as to why it is considered so preferable to the employment which lies open to them in the way of house hold work. Housewives at the present time find it difficult task to secure help fn the home even with the tempt ing offer of good wages in addition to their board. This is indicated con stant1y by the want columns of the daily papers and many of those who receive the low wages prefer the star vatfon wage of the shops and factories to good home and better wages at housewer7<- While efforts are being made to better the working girls con ditien in the shop which is in crying g need of attention there seems to be opportunity for much good work to be done in helping them to realize the opportunities in other directions

VIRTUES IN VARIOUS GEMS.

There is hardly precious stone that has not some superstition connected with it. The Neapolitans still wear arnulets of coral to avert the evil eye, and perhaps some will remember wear ing a string of amber beads about their necxs during their childhood to ward off sore throats. A piece of agate worn ! on the person is supposed to be an infaliibIe guard against lightning, and some persons have asserted that it was also a cure for thirSt-what kind they did not mention
 The beryl was by the ancientS sup posed to be a surescure for leprosy and to promote happiness between man and wife. Turquoise is said to be a protection against falls and sudden in iuries. The topaz was highly nrized by the ancients, who believed that it had magical powers of dispelling enchant- mentS and calming frenzy.
 The sapphire was believed by the ancients to be emb1ematic of chastity The pagans dedicated it to Apollo. The green emerald is held in high esteem by the Peruvian and the worshippers of Mantu stil1 believe that the mines whence are extracted all emeralds are guarded by terrible genii and dragons.
 Perhaps more superstition attaches itself to the opal nowadays than to any other stone. On the contrary, the ancients considered that this fiery gem had the power of rendering it's owner lovabIe and also of bestowing on him the gift of inyisibilfty.

FARM FOR INEBRIATEs.

The movement for the establishment of farms for inebriates is making it's appeal to the various sections of the country. This state attempted the se- curing of such an institution before the last general assembly but failed because of the expense. but will make another try at the present session, yet the financial situation of the state Is not as good as it was two years ago. The need of such an institution for the good work which it can do for the unfortunate and those dependent upon them is it's great advocate. The county of Cumberland in Maine has deemed 1t of s,ech importance that it has not attempted to secure a state institution but has taken the step en it's own initiative ana purchased three farms of 250 acres and at a cost of S1s,eGe for such a home. The joint property contains land for carrying on of extensive agriculture, some of the best grazing land in the state for raising of cattle and a we'll developed orchard tract of several acres.
 That county is starting out on an experiment which is bound to be val uable both for the betterment which it can be to those committed there and for the value of that form of treat ment for interesting inebriates in a definite pursuit with a view to their following it when paro1ed- Activity is what is needed by many who will be sent there and 1t should be of great benefit to them and to the county

DfSCRlIaAaNATES BUT DOESN'T
 STOP.

Canada has done everything possible to increase her trade with the mother country and cause the dominion to use Great Britain,s product in pref erenre to that of this country. This was but natural, as it made the ties closer and also served as an outlet for her own goods. The advantage given to Great Britain was that it's goods could enter Canada at a lower rate of tariff than the same goods from other countries. a partiality which oFa- erated against this country more than others, but how it operates is indicated by the records of Canadian commerce.
 During the last year the imports of Canada from Great Britain amounted to 101 and a. half million in dutiabls products while there were nearly 29 million dollars worth of merchandise which entered duty free. From this country in the same period the imports; which required a duty amounted to over l246 million while goods on which no duty was required totafled nearly S166s s000 GOO, or a showing greatly in favor of this country which sent to Canada goods to the amount of S412- S66}000 while Great Britaan's total was S1 ,36S GOO Undoubtedly British trade was stimulated somewhat by the con cession but it failed to check the bsls- mess which this country has with the neighbor to the north It was dis orirnination which did not stop our trade in field which is fast develop ing and which is aDpaEentiy dem and = ing United States products

THE DUTY OF THE YOUNG TURKS


 It becomes apparent from the latest action in Turkey. why the peace ne goE5a51ons have dragged to such a length The authorities have evidently been having an internal conflict the severity of which can be judged by the action which followed the declar- adinm of peace in the assassination of Naz1m Pasha and the taking over of tfae government by the Young Turks It means the retarding of the peace negDdEatiDns but should it go further and attempt to resume the war the new government wi1l bring about con- d1t1on5 which it will have cause to regret and which will keep all Europe on the anxious seat for a. longer period when those countries which had mo- biTfZed their troops were on the point of dernobdlizing them
 That the young Tanks should con- slider 1t possible to resume war and win back what has been lost is be yond belief. They have a far greater duty in the reorganization of that part of their country which remains. It seems hardly possible that the out break can be anything more than spontaneous and as soon as it subsidies the realization that the war indemnity is mounting uasward everyday the sign ing of the peace contract is delayed should reconcile them to the situation and the acceptance of the inevitable. Turkey needs a change new life and refm,rns but f should profit by its les sons in the immediate past, and instead of continuing war, declare peace and reCnfy the wrongs which have char actsritzed the empire. That is where the -y50ung Turks can do their best work; it is too late for any thing else

THE GOVERNORS CONFERENCE.

From all indications the conference of New England governors was pro- nouneed success. It would have meant the gathering of the entire six had not poor health forbid but the result was indicative of harmony and gives promise of 8 start in the direction of better understanding concerning the interstate railroad systems of the New England states. It brought out the important fact that the New England states through the action of their gov ernors are going to cooperate in their action for improving railroad legis1a- tion and in framing their laws and regulations endeavor to strike a uni form couIse which will operate to a better understanding between the states and the roads and overcome the difhcultiEs of serving one set Of reg ulatinns for a few hours, another for a less period and concaadd11g with a third, besides many other differences which exist in the half dozen states.
 In the decision to leave the censid- eration of the many important phases of the transportation question to a cema8ssson of two to be named from each state by the governors provision is made for time to properly consider and weigh the problems which are confronted Such an investigation as is proposed is bound to be Of fnestf- mabae SSaape.
