IllcRmoNd va, FeD. After
temnestuous fveshour trip through
the Senate yesterday the Williams en-
abling act emerged ct 7:O5 o'clocl,
last night shorn of several Of the
amendments which had been alded 10
it by the Senate committee on Priv
ieses and Elections, and fre:ghted
w:th important amendments engraft-
ed by notion from the floor.
When the stream of amendments
which had flowed unbroken from the
time the last committee aman imcnt
was disposed Of late in the after
noon, at last ran dry. the supperless
senate was without the strength or
will power to work any longer. Tie
bill as amended passed to its third
reading and engrossment, and Sena-
tor Royal followed instantly with a
motion to adjourn 1t carried unani-
mously
Two sessions of the Senate were re-
quired to dispose of the amendments
and send the bill 10 its cnerossment
The first session began at 1880
o'c,ocl, and en&eI at 3:40 o'clock to
give the weary senator's a breathing
spell and a chance to eat a, hasty
luncheon. The second session began
at o'clock and was over at 7:05.
Shorn of the debris OF motions, res
olutions, and more or less effective
oratory, the Senate's work OF the en-
ablirg act yesterday is reducible to
this summary:
1t defeated and struck from the bill
the committee amendment setting the
special election for the fourth Thurs
day in June, instead of the fourth
Tues2ay in September, as was origin
ally provided.
II defeated the committee amend
ment, making the electorate qualified

electorate that shall participate IN the

permitting all persons to participate
who were registered on January /,
1914, and who may qualify for the
election later under the provisions
of the general law.
It adopted the committee amend
ment putting the bin into effect on
May /. 1917, instead Of on May 1.
1916. as was provided in the original
bin.
1t adopted the committee amend
ment exempting from the prohibitire

Secretary Daniels, head of the
department of the navy. has con-
cluded that some of our military
vessels might as we'll be doing
something useful as we'll as just
rusting out. He favors the use of
a line of fast cruisers for carrying
the mails between the United
States ports and foreign ports. 1t
looks like a feasible and econom-
ical scheme. Certainly these yes
sells will last as long if they are
kept busy as they will if they are
kept anchored in the various har-
bors. Another advantage in the
plan is thatit would give the navy
on those particular vessels some
thing useful to do.

A RepulSive and Shock
ing State of Affairs

There are but few instances in
the history of any state in the
union where a more repulsive
and shocking state of affairs
have been shown to exist in con-
nection with a state instition
than those revealed in the report
of State Auditor Callaghan,
member of the board of control,
with reference to the Fort Grant
industrial school. If the report
is to be credited, and at present
there is not a particlr of reason
to disbelieve it, conditions at this
school are of such intolerable
character as to be absolutely un-
printable in detail, and there is
not only ground for the imme-
diate dismissal of Superintendent
Whipple, but for the prosecution
of others on charges of Grimm
al nature. And this statement
does not embody one of the
worst features of the whole mat
ter. We refere to the statement
of Callaghan that he made the
investigation against the will of
the governor of Arizona; that he
asked the governor to look into
the reports eminating from the in
stitution and the governor refus-

WHAT BEST TO DO

The problem that cOnfrOnts
most young men nowadays after
finishing the high school or aca-
denny, is not so much in being
able to go through college and
continue their education as to de-
eide what line to choose for a
life's work; to determine just
what he is most suited to. Espe-
cially, is this so if his talent is
not particularly inclined to any
one thing. 1t is often the case
when you ask young man what
he is going to study for, he will
say, Il do not know myself;
what would you advise me to
do?" or he might fancy some
thing that would not apply to his
case at all.
The life of the human being is
not long enough, and besides it
is too expensive to try different
kinds of work to determine
which is most suitable to his par
ticular ability. The choosing of
a profession or trade generally
means success or failure, and the
result of a good foundation in
school might be absolutely worth
less, if the student does not en-
ter in the line of work suited to
him. 1t is true that some men
have the ability to overcome OBJ
stacles of any kind and make a
success in spite of great difficult
les, but we are not all of this
calibre, and consequently the
necessity of starting right.
We believe the instructors and
parents or home associates of the
boy are a great factor in finding
out the best course for him to
pursue. 1t would seem that the
teacher should in particular ex-
ert every effort to discover the
adaptability of the student and
when he is seen to be superior to
other students in a certain line,
to encourage and help him along
that lime in every possible way.
1t he takes too much time from
other work to carry out his in
clination in the kind of work he
seems best suited to, not to be
too strict with him, but rather
make allowance for the fact that
he is backward in other studies
because of his ability and inter-
est in another study. Of course
it is essential that he should pass
in all of his studies, but if he
just manages to pull through
with some branches and get an
almost perfect mark in another
branch, we believe in the end he
would make the greatest success.
The man with special ability
to do something we'll and better
than others or that others cannot
do, is the man in these days of
strong competition and strife for
leadership, that is in the greatest
demand
