CONVICTED BY ALL.

THE WASHINGTON star Is relentless In fts war
fare on Presideut-Elect Wilson for saying that
sha banking system Of the country has been
convicted. something said over and over again
nv scores. known by thousands and thought by
tens of thousands. the star, however, doing nina
the Justice OF quoting him correctly.
II would seem that mere statement of what
Mr.. Wilson said would put an end TO criticism
hut not Sc. The Star gives Mr. Wilson's state
ment to tAe effect that when he said that the
banking system has been convicted he thought
he was saying what everybody had said before
and comments as follows:
In this explanation Mr. Wilson failed to take
credit for his importance oefore the couAs.s,
Net everybody, put many Peiso ,a ,,t
condemned not only the banking system. pu.
the bankers of the United States, and declared
them responsible for some OF the most SERIOUS
Of the public woes. But those same persons
had condemned tariff system, our corpora
ZION system, and court system In IacI
they had condemned nearly everything OF
American origin and operation. Several in the
excess of their disgust. had made themselves
national scolds But Mr.. Wilson at Chlcago was
"a horse OF another color. There was bite In his
words because of his party leadership and ap-
preaching power. Men in all walks of busi-
ness gave attention when he spoke, and fancied
they heard a sort of threat in what he said.
Between Woodrow Wilson. president-elect or the
United States within two months OF taxing OF
fee. and unofficial astators speaking In the
hope of securing office, they drew a sharp line.
The fault with this is that 1t is not altogether
true. Those persons who condemned the bank
ing system were not the same persons who had
condemned the courts. They had not condemned
nearly everything of Amrican origin and opera
ton On the contrary, many Of them had con-
demned nothing whatsoever but the banking sys-
tenn, By inference the Star says that those
peopie who had condemned the banking system
as severely rs Mr.. Wilson condemned 1t were
the irresponsible the wfid-eyed radices, the DEM
agoguea. the disappointed office holders, the
shiftlass and the revoluuonary-an inference ut
terly at variance with the facts. The most severe
critics of the banking system have been the bank
ers Some of them have been Wall Street mag
mates In fact, there are few men OF affairs
who have not convicted the banking system.
Mr.. Wilson's words had more weight than theirs,
but for that very reason they should have well
coined them. and believe they did. 1t Ia only
the opposition politicians and those who profit
by our weak banking system who objected to
this portion of Mr.. Wilson's Chicago speech.
The banking system has been indicted and
convicted by Its friends; 1t has been convicted
by ell students of finance; it has been convicted
by the bankers: 1t has been convicted by the
testimony before the banking and currency com
mittee and it has been convicted by Mr.. Wilson
An attack on Wilson is an attack ON all the
rest.

lecture at the normal school Friday
night on the topic. Rural Recreations
and Their Value to the Chiid's Develop
ment. Mr.. Settle clearly demonstrated
by the aid OF stereopticon views the
Importance of better social conditions

deyolved upon the public school to lead
In bringing abdnt change.
He emphasized the necessity Of ath-
letics in school life and stressed the
value of regular and systematic exer-
else as a potent factor In chifd's
development. He told of the great sue
cess OF the school fairs which have
been organised In some counties OF the
State and described the work accom-
pIished by them that was impossible
to attain by other means.

A GOOD ORDER, BUT.

The management Of the Lynchburg Academy
of Music has issued rule that after the cur
tain has gone up on the first act late corners
must take seats In the rear and remain there
until the act Is completed They will then be
shown to their proper seats.
We do not know whether or not this rule
can be enforced for long, for there are SO many
late arrivals that their kicks may be more mum.
erous than have been those of the patrons who
have been compelled to mss the opening lines.
IL not the opening scenes, OF the first acts by
the interruptions of late comers 1t is to be
hoped, however. that the new ruling will prove
successful In operation, in which case 1t might
be tried In Richmond. It does seem as If the
thoughtlessness and inconsiderateness OF mi.
nortty should not be allowed to continue to the
Inconvenience of the many and the irritation
of the actors. Nine out of tan OF those who
como late could Just as easily have come on
time They did not because they cared nothing
or thought nothing of the others. Whether or
not It Is an argument against Womans auf.
frage, we are not prepared to say. but 1t is to
be noted that the chief offenders are women.
That Is one reason we are fearful that the
Lynchburg Academy of Music management will
be compelled to rescind its orders. for when
women begin to KICK metaphorically speaking,
the men do not fail to take notice.

BLANKET CHARGES UNTRUE.

While the best friends of the public school
system will not deny that 1t ia faulty In many
respects and that there lis room for great inn
provement, blanket charges of failure are ir.
rtating to those who know that the system
accomplishing much more. Thoughtful people
viii agree to the justice of much of the criti
csm contained In a series of articles which are
baing run in one of the weekly magazines. but
few Of them will accept the conclusion that the
whole system is complete failure. 1t Is easy
to find the faults, and undertaking lis always
more interesting than praise but the magazine
referred TO defeats its own ends by making its
charges. too sweeping. i.-. ..3a.
The public schools have not accomplished
all that was hoped, but there are two reasons
for this disappointment beside the one OF in
competence. Too much was hoped Of them and
not enough children attend, and those who do
attend leave too soon There Is one other fault
with the public schools which has never been
corrected and never Will be corrected. 1t Ia
inherent in the system. No two children are
alike and no two children require Just the same
treatment instruction in the mass ia not the
ideal OF educators, although even this has some
advantages which go far to offsettng the dis
advantage. Nevertheless instruction of twenty
or thirty or forty children by one teacher is
81 evil but the best that can be done is to re-
auce the number. TO this end more teachers,
and consequently more money. is needed. Which
brings lis to another trouble with the system

There are faults in the system. some of which

The British protectionists are in a sad plight
They have thrown the food taxes overpoards
but their rejoicing over that performance Is more
ike the delight that ''TIans in Luck" found IN
his successive bargains than anything else that
we can think Of The London Economist points
out that the Daily Mails placard Death OF the
food taxes is just what the Daily News might
have had on the occasion of any Liberal victory
during the last nine years, and that the MAIL
the Times and the Telegraph have been ardent
advocates Of Chamberlain's imperial policy, -or
which taxes on foreign food supplies formed the
cornerstone. . ,.,-,
It can be but q short time before the British
tariff reformers will find that. with that pro-
iect abandoned, their whole stock in trade is
gone, And this Is not only because 1t Will pc
i'm possible to make up in. the manufacturing
centers for the loss OF the support of the agri-
cultural interests but 1t also will be because
apart from special interests. the one argument
against free trade for England that has had
any weight Is the argument that 1t had been
ruinous to agriculture and that 1t cut down
the sturdy yeomanry OF the country. III free
trade has been doing this by refusing to protect
British agriculture from foreign competition.
what shall be said OF a policy which. besides
refusing that encouragement to agriculture, ac-
tually stimulates manufactures by means OF pro-
tective taxes3

when the Unionist party will find as much re-
lief In giving UP all that is left Of the protec-
ZIONIST program as 1t has seemed to In the
abandonment Of the food taxes.--W ashington

For the benefit of needle and en-
broidery workers an Indiana man has
designed a handy apparatus. A lap
board has pair of uprights mounted
OH 1t and rocking arms resting in
grooves 1T the tops Of the standards.
These are short arms. and on their in
ner ends are clamps to hold the hoops
in which the fabric is held taut On
the outer ends of the arms are knobs
by means Of which they may be manip-
ulateG. An elbow rest is mounted in
front Of the uprights. The needle
worker holds the device on her lap
and by turning the knobs on the outer
ends Of the arms adjusts the hoop to
whatever angle she desires. 1t is
thus held firmly, and she can give her
whole attention TO the making of in
tricate stitches and if necessary rest
her forearms.
