HOW TO BUILD UP
THE COMMONWEALTH.

The following article was written
By Robert S. Barrett, editor Of the
Alexandria Gazette, and won the
third prize OF $25 in gold offered by
Colonel John Murphy for the best
suggestions on how to advance the
interests of Virginia.
How 10 Build Up The Commonwealth.
Few States have the foundation
upon which to btild a more glqrious
future than has Virginia. Here gil
factors needed for human happiness
and the development. Of character. can
be found-an ideal geographical: sit
uatton, an admirable climate great
store of natural RESOURCES, a fertile
soil, capable of producing everything
needed for man and beast--and that
even more Important feature, a race
of men and women. whose blood, his
tory and ideals fiji them for the high
est development.
When a survey Of the elements
needeG for the up building of the
Commonwealth is made, the improve
ment Of the transportation facilities
is easily seen to. be the most impor-
tant and in this direction lies great
work for the newspapers of the State.
Railway and steamship lines need
capital with which to extend their
facilities and provide sufficient equip
ment TO care for their cGnstantl?
growing traffic. Capital must re-
ceivc fair return on its investment,
and. at The same time, the carriers
owe to the people Of the Common
wealth certain duties which must be
met. The advocacy OF program of
broa and liberal treatment for the
transportation lines will encourage
them to improve their facilities, but
with this must come the requirement
that the laws ard regulations of the
State be strictly complied with.

Toronto, Can. April 1.-THE Fed

embraces all the territory from Port
William, Ontario. and St Johns. New
Brunswick, are preparing to meet

TO secure new agreement. including

an or national organization what

energy to escape without the direc-
tion of reasoning and the Christening
power OF moral feeling. Some people
call this temper. 1t is merely en-
ergy without proper restraint and
direction, and the aftermath of such
uprushes of feeling are sometimes
followed by the making of enemies
and never without remorse and re-
gret on the part of men who have
such unusual power. This man is
too large hearted to hate, too broth
erly and honorable to Willingly in
flict pain, there is too much human
ity in him to allow of his planning
and scheming with malice and fore
thought to do any of his neighbors
bodily harm, as many of his friends
will testify.
% Shows a gentleman possessed
of the motor-neutrative type OF
makeup. This is seen in the tall.
angular, bony and muscular build OF
body. The high cheekbone, the
width of head across the ears, and
the breadth of face from the outer
angle OF the eyebrows. See that
rugged expression, that solid build
of face, and that angular sign in all
the features. How could n man OF
such composition be other than a
perpetual generator of energy and
motor force? He is like galvanic
battery on legs.
(2) The positive brain mass in
the region of the temples common to
all men of mechanical genius and in
ventive power; it bespeaks con-
structive imagination, and this with
his mechanical build of body indi-
Gates special inclination to practi-
cal mechanics and engineering work.
This gives natural mechanical talent
and with the large size brain, it in
dicates mind capable of dealing
with large mechanical projects-rail-
road uilding-electric plant con-
struction-bridge and viaduct work
irrigation and water power plants.
Nothing in this line would be too
large for a man of this mechanical
grip and nature.
CD Shows full development of
the brain centers of observation, COM
parison and power to localize forces
and places. This gentleman learns
by observation and comparison with
what has been done; while he is not
an imitator. he can assimilate infor-
nation and ideas from the works
of others and putting this through
the ever-constructing operation of his
own mind, he can improve on what
has been attained and create new
things of his own brand. He would
have enjoyed all forms of natural
science, natural history and mechan-
ical values. As boy he would be
fond OF geography, fond of arithme-
tic and highly susceptible to the NOR
alizing influences of stories.

sense of remorse for the failures and
mistakes in life. He may not pro-
fess any sectarian religion, but he
has keen sense of reverence, re-
spect for old age and those set in
authority over him. His Intentions
are for a high standard of honesty,
and he is very grateful for all kinds
of favors which he receives. He
has a keen desire to please, and to
be well thought of by his friends; a
lover of home and family. and is
strongly patriotic in his feeling. He
is a friendly fellow, good fellow.
one who will enjoy physical sports,
tests of strength, a good game and a
good social time.
60 The brain from the ear
back ward is unusually developed; all
the domestic feelings are strong, par
ticularly the love of children. Most
of this type need to be firm and
consistent in governing their fami-
lies, but they are usually indulgeHt
and especially fond of grand chill
dren. In fact he would be good old
grandmother of the masculine sex.
He must feel like mothering children
of need and of weakness. He ought
to be very fond of pets and animals,
and take great delight in nature and
the spring of the year when life Is
bursting forth from its crystal casket
of snow and the dreary winter sea-
son. He might be fond of his lodge
and specially interested in the men S
club, but the dearest spot on earth
to man of this makeup is the fam
lily circle, and the mother of his
own life as well as of his own home
would furnish tender memory and
special joy to his heart.
Men of such strength are bound
to be men of some weakness; men of
such proportions are liable to make
some mistakes. but deep down in
the fiber of this mans being is
righteousness, honor. human Kind
ness and good will to his fellows. He
means to be right and do right,
though his tremendous energy may
sometimes have the victory. His mis-
takes will be those of the feelings
rather than those of purpose and
reason; he has many lovable quail
ties. many things for which people
will esteem him highly; he is born
mechanic, man of practical judg-
ment with an ambition to do some
thing of credit for his family and his
city. .

(By Dr. Edwin Morrell, Personal
Psychologist)
A Wonderful Century.

The nineteenth century was ID CEN
tury of physical science and mechan-
ioal achievement. The twentieth
century has swung the pendulum of
interest to the other side of things.
Now we are studying the soul of the
universe and the spiritual nature of
man. We have ransacked the earth
air and sky, and largely mastered
physical forces, but the mystery of
spirit, the problem of soul is the
uppermost and innermost interest of
the larger men.
A scan back through history of the
past century easily makes one see
Robert Fulton tugging at his paddle
wheel; Michel Faraday taking his
safety lamp into the bowels of the
earth; Prof Morse laying his cable
across the trackless Atlantic; Prof
Bell making lightning and copper
wire fling thought across the CONT
uent and many other mighty men
of genius busily engaged in disclosing
Natures secrets for the Welfare of
man. All this story Is briefly and
lucidly set forth in Thomas A. Edi-
son evolving from boy printer and
publisher TO his final victory in in
venting the kinetophone- and thus
the wheels of life have been driven
by the brain of men Of inventive
power.

life had been so stimulating, that she
had not motif I'd how the enmity of
her fellow mattresses had been
aroused. She simply did not regard
them, except as supenumeraries in
a drama where she played the leading
part. It was long since she had even
spoken to them, except in the way
of business. They had begun to re-
sent it, and she was made the victim
of all sorts of petty annoyances. A
series of apparent accidents gave her
the reputation, with Heppner, of be-
ing careless. This continued through
the strategy of the other mattresses,
