Our Parsons Column
Items for this requested
Copy should be in this morning latest

porting such an amendment were re-
Gently locked away in the vaults of
the Judiciary committee of the United
States senate, says the current Les
lies. Each day brings additional
thousands. An even greater mass of
such petitions, representing the mem
bership organizations concerning
many millions of American citizens,
has deluged the house committee
which is handling the subject. Other
committees are being flooded by pro-
tests and appeals, but none has yet
reached the stage of interest shown
by the memorials on the prohibition
question. AT the opening of both
houses each day the members have
the privilege of submitting these APP
peals, and they are then put down on
the congressional record, but only
in brief declaration
The petitions come from each state
in the Union from all classes of citi-
zenship. Occasionally member will
read a petition, and then it is print
ed in full. If the appeal comes from
the legislature of the state it is read
by the clerk and printed in full in
the record.-Danville Register.

Liquor at The State Fair.

Managers of the State Fair have
again asked for license to sell liquor
at the fair, and the matter is being
contested by those who are opposed
How the judge can see any sound
reason for granting the request for
license passes our comprehension.
Confessedly last year the fair lost
patronage heavily because of the sale
of liquor, and came near failing to
make expenses. In fact, we do not
recall that any claim has been made
that it actually made expenses. If
liquor is again sold there, let us hope
that the people of the state will show
their displeasure more strongly than
even last year and remain away from
the fair.
The fair makes an especial appeal
to the agricultural interests of the
state, and yet does the anomalous
thing of licensing what is opposed by
an overwhelming number of the farm
ers of the state. Let the farmers
show their opposition in way that
will prove effective. Without the
support of the farmers of the state
the fair cannot succeed. If it wishes
to have success, let it abstain from
doing things that irritate and dis
please the farmers.-Staunton Leader

Charitableness Within Certain Bounds
Is COmmendable

Charitableness is n beautiful trait
of character, and if kept within prop
er bounds, adds greatly to ones use
fulness in life.
Where there are reasonable causes
for certain beliefs and actions of our
fellowmen, though considered by us
unorthodoX and unbecoming, it might
be well to be charitable in the express
sion of our opinions. This does not
mean that we should ever condone
actual wrong, or under any circum-
stances, compromise the truth, but
simply to be charitable when we are
roaming in the realm of uncertainty
and considering those differently cir
cumstanced from ourselves.
Men are not constituted alike
they are the products of lineal pro-
clivities, idiosyncrasies, ETC.; so when
we pass judgment upon their beliefs
and conduct the opportunity presents
itself for the exercise of charitable
ness.
Mems environments, early train
ing, ETC., help to create the viewpoint
from which they see things.
Sam Jones once said to a Baptist
minister: "If your mother and mine
had snapped babies, you would have
pcch al McIhouiSI anu Il DdpIlSl.
In most cases observation convinces
us that the evangelist made true
statement. Let parents see to it that
they are on the right track.
How few do any personal investi-
eating? Most people take their be-
liefs and their ways of doing things
second-handedly. They can give no
other reason for their beliefs and
practices, than that their parents and
others in close touch with them be-
lieved and acted that way; and, yet
if they were accused of not being
free men they would become greatly
offended. Does the fact Of an uncon-
scious slavery make one free?

Americans All.

Col. Robert E. Lee, of Virginia,
landed with Scott in Vera Cruz in
lS41. Il. Il. Lee, ordinary seaman,
landed from Fletcher-s fleet in 1914
and was slightly wounded. With his
, name in the list of casualties appear
number of others of purely English
standardization, Morton, Taylor, Lane
and the like; with others that suggest
remote Norman French or Hugue-
not or possibly more recent Cana
dian ancestry, such as Gilbert, Poin-
sett, De Lowry, Bennett.
The first man killed was ID. A. Hag-
gerty, private of marines. OF his
lighting race there is no lack i'm the
lists beginning with Fitzgerald, Boyle
hughes, Blaney and Leahy. Having
no lag of their own to fight for, the
Poles are fighting for ours as they
have for others, and Nagorowski and
Ponkowski are among the wounded.
Germans are many, such as Schu-
maker, Frohlichstein, Katzenberger
and Schwarz; in former generation
Smith may possibly have been
Schmidt, or Fisher Fischer.
The Scots are never far away when
there is fighting, and here are Cam
eron, Mcmillan and McCloy, along
with the Scandinavian Jams, Ander-
son and Peterson. Kwapick and Dew
orick suggest Slavic races not long
represented in our country in great
numbers, and the dead lie Fabbio
comes of the race of the greatest war
leader of history. Some names sug-
gest the disguise of misprint, like
vatioog and Keas; and at the end
the Norman English Percy takes us
back TO Chevy Chase, and Gisburne
TO Robin Hood and the Merry Eng
land IF cross-bow times.
Whatever the derivation of these
men and the names they bear, of one
thing we may be assured. They are
Americans all. The great Republic
is their Nation and their home. their
mother or foster mother.-New York

Bright prospects For Ann Fruii,

AS to the fruit crops prospects at
this time, G. p. Miller, of Romney, w.
Va, the peach King" is very en-
thusiastic. He says that except for
low-lying orchards, there will be all
kinds of fruit in an abundance unpre-
cedented.
In few cases only will there be
entire failure of peaches, and these
are confined as a whole to people who
do not engage in orcharding in an ex-
tensive commercial way.
Apples are loaded with live bios
SONS everywhere. Except for the
Ben Davis variety, the profusion of
bloom is greater than ever before
known.
