Staunton, Virginia, has found a
conspicuous place in the mp since
the visit during the week Of Presi-
dent-elect Wilson, who first saw the
light Of day in that town fifty-six
years ago. Through an invitation of
the citizens of that town Governor
Wilson again visited the scenes of
his early childhood and renewed ac-
quainienances. While he left the
place Of his birth when bvt two years
# age he was no stranger there be-
eau lie has, iuee, he reached his
nai'rIty visited the place upon sew
eral occasions. His father vino was
minister in that town stood high
among the people there and had
many friends all of whom turned out
en- lie occf sion Of Governor Wilson's
visit to pay their respects to the son
Of their old fiiend now made famous
through hiselection to the Presidency.
Governor Mann and a large num-
uer of the leading citizens of Vir-
ginia turned out 10 honor Governor
Wilson. The hospitality of the
Virgimans for which they are SO well
known vas extended royalty. Vir-
ginia exempliied the fact that she
is the mother Of Presidents and paid
he' .ruest trit ute to the latest son Of
Virginia to Re elected TO the highest
office in the gilt of the american peo-
pie. The great reception given the
President-Elect is not only an honor
to him but exempllfes the great
honor and respect in which the sons
Of Virginia are held by their own
home people.

pYNAMIrERs. Sentences.


Sentences ranging from one to
seven years pronounced upon the
dynamiters in the federal court at
Indianapolis are the warning sent out
t. the wreckers Of industry and the
destroyers Of life by TIE use Of the
bomb in the furtherance Of labor
disputes. That the cumulative sen-
fences were not carried to fuller eff
feet and some of the leaders II the
dynamite outrages gwen the thirty
nine years sentences that might have
been passed upon them was doubtless
due to the disposition Of the court to
make their punishment as much a
war; ing as a retril utiou. Some of
those given I e longer sentences
have arrived at the time of life when
six or seven years may mean the
closing Of their careers in the federal
prison. The Ieniency of the court
toward several of tie prisoners was
expected, inasmneh as these men
doubtless lid not realize the heinous-
ness of the actsto which they had
made themselves party.
The verdict shows that the crimi-
GAL labor leaders may expect to re-
eejse the seventies Of justice and
this will prove a salutary deterrent
upon all such. Labor organizations
cannot view the sentenc, as in a. v
sense yindictiye, and, on the otheg
hand, there is no indication of feaa
of the resentment Of labor organize
tons. They have nothing to gain
from dynamite measures, and the
purging out Of the leaven of crimi-
nality will prove The best thing thar
could happen fer honest and iawabid-
ng American workingmen. It is
o be borne in mind that the gravest
bar .es against the men now sentenc-
d are those that could be brought
y the states in which I'll Dir out
ages were perpetraled. For one I'll
hese, the blowing NJ of the Le
Angeles Times Binding, one Of the
Mcnamara brothers Is CRYING a life
sentence, and the other term OF
fifteen yea 5 So that il she men
now sentenced shall es ,ape the Ions
vi the state laws they siIl be lucky.
The federal courts could have lnfiic,-
ell severer penalties only through
taking fuller advantage of the cumu-
lative effect u the various counts Of
the Observation-Disclosures.

THE INAUGURATION PLANS.

The manner in which the citizens
OF Washington are responding to the
call for subscriptions to the inaugural
guarantee fund gives ample assur-
ance that the entire amount needed,
100000, will be contributed in ample
season. Within ten days more than
bali Of the to'al Of the money re-
quired to finance all the work has
been subscribed, and it may not be
doubted that before tie lapse of an
equal eriod all the inaugural com
mittee can possibly forsee as neces
sary wilt have been put on the books.
Thus are the citizens Of Washington
dong their pag and the only gu $
ton that remains now in whether
Congress will consent to the use Of
the pension building for the inaugur-
al ball or will adopt different policy
fqf the inauguration of Mr.. Wilson
tlAan that which has been hereto
foFe in vogue.
Tie latest suggestion is that the
ball may be held in the Capitol build

There is nothing of modesty in the
proposals of the Balkan allies to the
TurkiSh plenipolentiaries at London.
The former propose that the Turks
get out of Europe. Nothing would
be left Of the European empire OF
The Ottomans except the peninsula
OF Gallipoli and the suburbs of Con
stan,inople. The Bulgars would
have front on the Sea of Marmors
including the port Of Rodosto, as
well as on the Aegean. The sug-
gestion Of a line running through
Chorlu as boundary rather than le
through Chataldja is not to be re-
garded as a concession. Strategically
the former is muco stronger than the
latter, and the intervening country
is of little value.

BEAD BORDER A DECORATION

An unusual but pretty way to decor.
ate stand covers and pillows for porch
use Is by means of bead border. The
stand covers as well as the pillows are
made Of heavy canvas or monks
cloth The beads are sewed In place
TO form a border. following some sim.
pie set design. Il is best to mark par
aliel lines on the goods so that the
border will be straight The beads
are then sewed in short rows at right
angles to the parallel lines. Green
and white beads are combination
usually seen. as they give a fresh,
clean appearance in keeping with their
use for outdoor decoration.
The bead border makes the stand
covers heavy and In this they are
weighted so that they cannot blow
from the table Either a very narrow
border or design across the corners
is all that should be used on the pil.
lows.
