The Senatorial Convention.

The Convention which nomi-
mated Judge Beckwith for State
Senator, by reclamation, at Ber-
kelley Springs on Tuesday was a
splendid one.
No finer body of men ever as
sembled in political conference
and the peace and harmony
which prevailed under decent and
orderly organization was in mar
ked contrast with past happenings
A new era,.has begun for the
Democracy of this District and
from now on any Democrat can
aspire to Office with the assurance
of fair and honorable treatment.
Thine alone sets all things eUen
And if we do but wateh the hour,
There neuer yet was human powcr
The patient search and Uigil long
Of him who treasures up a wrong.'

Moving On.

We foolish folks are discontented
with things wher er we chance to dwell.
The air, !" we say, is sweeter scented
in some far distant dale or dell. And
50 we pull up stakes and travel to seek
the fair and promised land, and find
our Canaan is but gravel, wilderness
of rocks and sand. ACROSS the hills
the fields are greener. y We murmur,
and the view more fair. the water of
the brooks more cleaner, and fish grow
larger over there. And so we leave our
pleasant Valley, from all our loving
friends we part and Ger the stony hills
we sally. to reach land that breaks
the heart. There's gold in plenty
over yonder. !" We say, ''and we shall
seek the mines. !" Then from our cheer
full homes we wander. far from our fig
trees and our vines. A little while our
dreams we cherish and think that we
can never fail; but, tired at last, we
drop and perish and leave our bones
upon the trail. How happyeis the man
whose nature permits him to enjoy his
home. Wh01still compelled by legisla-
sture, declines inpaths afar to roam
There is no fegidn better, fairer,
than that home region that you know;
there are no zephyrs sweeter, rarer
than those which through your gal
yvavn blow.

Our fathers knew the meaning Of
thrift but their example has been for
gotten. Il ia no longer the age Of
thrift. It Is the period Of the spend
thrift. We find him everywhere. It
is easy to make money. bat hard to
save it and the spender is always in the
majority.
The thrifty are Knocked and laughed
at. and reyiled. Extravaganza is hav-
ing its golden day. 1t shines with the
blaze Of glory. 1t dazzIes the eye and
quickens the pulse. But there is day
Of reckoning, unheeded and unthought
Of.
And now we are to fall back to the
example of the simple life. We are to
be reminded of the advantage of thrift.
It is high time. Visionary theorists
are wasting effort on ideals too lofty to
be reached. Reformers are urging the
impossible and the practicable AMI
demagogues are leading the crowds
along the highways of unreason, un
rest and unbelief.
It is pleasure to turn from all these
to welcome a nation. wide movement
for a revival of American. thrift. 1t
originates with banker whose career
illustrates the lesson he would teach.
1t was born in the great Western me-
tropolis. Chicago. and it is already be-
coming national movement. It's be-
ginning to be preached in the pulpit.
1t should be taught in the schools and
advocated from the rostrum.
Thrift does not mean pinchy miser-
illness or the hardship of great self-de-
NAL. 1t means lessening of extrava-
gancs; the cutting off of useless expen
ditures: the cultivation of the saving
habit and preparation, in tims of pros
perity, for the inevitable hour of need.
Think of it!-a billion dollars year
spent in the United States ON indul-
gences cannot be described as sane
pleasures, but which do positives phys.

BLAMES TANGO FOR WAR

New York, Nov. is. - The tango
has suffered many attacks. 1t has
been blamed for much. 1t received
the bitterest blow of all, however,
when the German press bureau in
New York issued a translation of a
remarkable article from the pen of
the Norwegian writer, Theodore Cas-
pari, who, "after profound meditat-
ing" has solemnly declared that the
tango was to blame for the European
war. 1t was ''the frenzy of the tam
CO." according to Caspari, that pro-
duced the psychological situation
from which developed the frenzy of
war.

Not all the radiant energy whicN en-
tiers the eye is active in the process
Of producing the sensation OF light. No
doubt 1t is fair to that at least
this inactive" energy Is absorbed By
the eye media and transformed into
heat. This should cause an increase
in temperature in the eye, which has
led some to hold that this Is the cause
Of irritation and fatigue. There Is a
general feeling that artificial light is
more fadguing than daylight. which
contains far less energy a lumen Sec
ond than the light from ordinary. arti-
hcial illuminants. OF course, II II be
true that artificial light under the same
conditions OF diffusion, intensity, sur
roundings, retinal adaptation, etc, is
really more Irritating and fatiguing
than daylight It Is wise to look to the
spectral character OF the radiation as
a probable cause. However, there are
no actual data which prove that arti-
hcial light is more discomfort,ng than
daylight when all conditions excepting
the spectral character OF the radiation
