Meaning of Love.

Love is the fulfilling Of the law" says Paul
in Romans. People usually regard love as low
ing somebody-wife, sweetheart friend, neigh
Dor; but 1t is not limited. Love is the broad
est of the virtues. It's objects are everything,
everywhere. We picture love as a cupid shoot
ing at q mark. But 1t is far more than this
It IS radiation, and embraces in its influence
truth. Justice purity. courtesy, honesty candor
courage, etc It Is the love Of these things that
Is the fulfilling of the law--an active, positive
love of them that adorns and inspires The whole
life A man may love his wife. his children his
neighbor his church and at the same time
never think Of loving candor, courage. truth
courtesy and the other virtues; and yet II Is
this love that makes the true life; 1t s the
love the apostle meant.
! There is no religion, education no true
! friendship. real citizenship without this love
Someone viii say this Is all abstract matter
Look here-everything concrete comes out of
the abstract One must love justice purity, truth
in order to do a just, pure. true thing. We
must get the spirit before can do the act
Love the life of Christ and he in the great

nose, snarling and batting everything and every

LOOK TO THE LEGISLATURE.

Is it true that tho larger part Of the ex-
penses of conducting the summer institutions
for teachers falls the teachers themselves?
Norfolk Nirginian-Puot,
No, It Is not true. According to the state
ment of Attorney General Williams never re-
futed the State bears about one-third the ex.
pense. the cities and towns In which the schools
are held bear about one-third, and the teachers
about one,third. In addition. however. TO this
one-third of the expense borne by the teachers,
there is the item OF individual expenses such as
railroad fare, board and incidentals.
But whether one-third or onehalf, or the
larger part be borne by the teachers, the ex-
pense Is too great, The teachers should not bear
any Of the expense Of maintenance, 1t must be
remembered however, that it is because the leg
slature did not see fit to appropriate enough
for the conduct OF the schools that the board
imposed tuition fee upon the teachers. For
the same reason rental Is charged for rooms,
even when the schools are held at State insti-
tutions.
For reform, for reduction of expense to the
teachers look 10 the legislature, which holds the
purse strings.

CURRENT COMMENT
Scctionalism and Service.

Service to the business of the country is the
basis of the Glass owen bill, the creation of, a
currency and banking system that will be safe
efficient and meet the special requirements OF
each section. Whatever the number Of regional
banks finally fixed upon, their location should
be-and we believe, will be--determned by
what cities are in a position to best serve the
particular region for which the bank is estab-
.lished.
Local rivalries should not he allowed to In
terfere nor financial interests to dictate. Bnt
the existing financial connections the natural
flow of finance and business are factors to be
considered. Baltimore has been for many years
the financial center OF the South Atlantic States
as well as some Of it's Middle State neighbors.
Here large projects in Virginia, West Virginia,
the Carolinas, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and
as far away Texas have been financed. Its
banking connections extend all through the
South In considering the location of regional
bank for this large and important section, we
have no doubt congress and the treasury de-
partment will give due consideration to these
things. more important, in many respects, than
geographical location, or the amounts of
banking capital, though in both we possess a
decided advantage
While distinctly secondary to the establishment
of the system itself the location Of the regional
banks Is question Of decided importance. The
the treasury authorities, will not we feel sure.
allow local considerations to sway them in max
ing the decision Baltimore is in position to
serve--and does serve, more than any other one
city-a dozen States, In a system based on
service it's facilities and location certainly must
be given the consideration they deserve.--Bal-

Football Fatalities.

Revision OF football rules has not made the
game as safe as some Of the school authorities
hoped There had been fifteen deaths up to
Saturday. and ITS injuries reported In the
same period of 1918 there thirteen deaths
and lS5 injuries Only three deaths have re-
suited from university and college games The
game is supervised strictly at the higher educa-
tonal institutions, and the rules are enforced.
1t is becoming question whether high school
games should not have the presence of a COM
petent referee. However, nobody Is de-
handing the toal prohibition of the game as
was the case half a dozen years ago. There are
no sports without some dangers. and 1t should be
remembered that more people are drowned on
single Sundays in summer than are killed on
the gridiron all autumn.-Knoxville Sentinel.
