d no abatement in the legislature

ed no abatement in the legislature
yesterday, and at times it looked as
though the win2-up of the session
would be characterized by personal
conflicts. The Sergeant-at-arms OF
the House was kept on the alert while
members pointed fingers at each3oth=-
er menacingly and advanced with wa va
paint upon their conferences, am
when the body shall have adjourned
sine die today some members will
doubtless repair to their homes with
no good feelings towards each other:
An incident yesterday recalled
scenes of thirty years ago when the
readjuster element had charge Of the
State. At that time William Ma
hone was one of the members of the
United States Senate from! Virginia,
he having been elected by the Gle
ment. then in power. He was ciiarg-
ed with attempting to run the legis-
,ature of Virginia from the Senate
chamber in Washington, AMI his die
tation became so apparent that
resolution was introduced calling the
Generals attention to the fact that
he had Ibeen placed in the upper
branch Of Congress- to protect the
States interests in national affairs
ard that the legislature of Virginia
could attend to the affairs OF the
Commonwealth without any inter-
ference on his part.
The resolution was introduced D.

The charge was maze yesterday
that the present Virginia senators

THIS, however, was not proven--.n
cact it was shown to be baselcss.
UNPRECEDENTED pandemonium, broke
in the house over set of resolutions
offered by Speaker Cox which we're
denounced by Delegate WhE1c, 'o1

ule and as a device to get the co-or-
Innate college bill UP out OF ITS or

READY FOR
COUNCIL PRIMARY.

The closing of the list Of candi-
dates for the Democratic primary to
be held on May l4th last night
marks the commencement of con-
test that promises to be interesting.
Twenty-Five candidates have thrown
their hats in the ring and they rep
resent all the elements in citizen
.shin..in our midst Collectively they
are a splendid body of men who will
serve the community to the best Of
their ability if elected from their re-
spective wards. 1t argues well for
Alexandria when so many represen-
tative citizens are willing to give up
a considerable portion of their time
to the interest of the city without
monetary considerations.
There are practically no politca!
differences between those who seek
councilmanic honors. Alexandria is
too firmly committed to program
of progress and development to
hake an issue of anything in this
connection. The plan of contrlbutory
assistance on the part of abutting
property owners to the cost OF
street improvements, which was a
bone of contention during the last
few years, has been settled and Ii
working out in a very satisfactory
manner. Two disputed legal ques-
lions have been ended by decisions
of the Supreme Court of Appeals
All doubt as to the position of the
CITY on the annexation question has
been removed. The new high school
building and the new truck house
are assured, ordinances already hav-
ing passed which9provides for both
of these needed improvements The
liquor question, which some people
would like to inject into the contest.
will be settled by the State Of Vlr-
ginia at the state wide election ir-
respective of the wishes Of the
people of Alexandria.
AS has been its policy for many
years, the Alexandria Gazette, will
not take any part in the contest, but
will give all of the contestants tn,
same fair and impartial treatment
it has ever extended to all local
candidates. The Gazette represents
the entire community, its subscrib-
ers being from all factions and par
ties, and our sole interest is to pub
lish all the news in connection with
the coming election without bias
Any departure from this rule will be
through inadvertance which will be
gladly corrected if called to our at,
tentiol.
The Gazette will be glad to re-
ccive at all times and publish sign
ed communications in reference Il
any policies affecting the city which
may be of interest to our readers
but COMMUNICATIONS regarding tn
qualification CT any candidate vii
on!y be published as paid advertise
ments.

/ people did not forget God. leads TO q
few words on this remarkable man.
j 1t will be remembered that once when
the Jews under Moses were about to
enter the land promised them spies or
messengers. we're sent out. Two OF
/ th ese spies were Joshua and Caleb
These came back with report to the
same effect as that OF The other ten
that the land was all they could wish
Tor. But while the ten had great Htor-
iass as to giants in the land ana adVis-
ed turning back for fear OF them, Josh
,le and Caleb full al faith cried out,
we are able to take the land despite
the giants, for God has promised it
and lie will be on our side. They call
ed attention 10 what God had done
| in the past and were ready to trust
| Him for the future With God and Ills
promises which stead out rs promin-
ent in the character Of joshua
| II Will also be remembered lllat at
one time Joshua called'all the people
| together and made. public declafation
as TO his stand for God He said AS
for hne and for my hoNse, We will
serve the Lord" lie then called on
those who sided with him to make il |
known. This act in the life OF Joshua
is the basis for that famous song,
Dare to stand like Joshua" which
has so prominent place in the sun
day revival meetings.
In these closing words on the life OF ;
Joshua put the question, Why do not .
christian people dare TO stand ase
Joshua? Why not come out in the
open OH the Lords side? 1t i; such
men as he who arc Il power in the
land. 1t is such men as he who lake
an open stand for right things in city. =
state and national affairs who shape !
the affairs of the day for better things. 4
While Joshua lived about the men
whom he had personally Influenced.
there Was<no trouble as to how the Is /
raelites stood as to God. ! urge every .
reader who knows what the right Is !
to stand fer it. II You are christian i
lay fast hold on the promises of God
and of Jesus and believe these will
be fulfilled just as made and have
faith to act on them. We cannot al.
have the great places Of Joslna, Moses
Joseph, Paul, Peter and their great J.
religious successors but it can be said
CT US that knowing the right we stand !
cut in the open for it. We cast our
influence in Il way to be known for
scberness, righteousness, Goodness
and the church. Ii so. our influence
viii be lasting for good and our lives
not in vain.
'ri,e lesson verses relate how the
people fell away into idolatry and then
bad the displeasure OF God visited up
on them. Judges were raised up to
Gcd, WHO called on the israeltes TO
repent and these judges became mil
itary leaders in driving out those
who had cngrossed the jews. Again
would they fall away soon forgetting
all God had done for them. Our les
son vii! tell this from week to week.
We mus: not be too hard on those
poor lsraelites in our judgement of
them. With the magnificent title
record before us and the life Of Jesus
as e guide we too are not constant
at AL times in our service of God. He
is patient and forgiving not wanting
any to perish but that all have blessed
eternal life. 49, ft.&

sunny SIDE SCHOOL ENTERTAINs
Box Social at Goodrich School Largely
Attended-Fino Program Arranged
BY Miss Trexei, Teacher.


Sunny Side school, District No. {
Goodrich township, was the scene of
q box social and splendid entertain.
ment given on "Wednesday evening.
December % by the pupils and some
of the grown folks as well. Miss Sar-
all !TreXel, who teaches the Sunny Side
school, had made speeial preparations
for the event and when the guests ar
rived they. found the school room pref
tily decorated with Christmas wreaths
and miniature fireplace at one side of
the room.
The program commenced at 1870 p.
m. and consisted Of speaking, dia-
logues, singing, comic plays with fthe
participants in costume by the mem
bers of the school. Every part of the
program was carried out without a
hitch Of any kind and showed that
Miss TreXel and the children had spent
many hours in preparation.
| After the program the box social
was held and while there were only
ten boxes in all, they were exceeding.
~ pretty and the highest one sold for
$3.50. Messrs John Woodruff and
Paul Steensen acted as auctioneers
and the way they went about it was
really wonderful and those presen,
thought that it might be best for both
gentlemen to give up farming and
take up auctioneering for life bus
mess.
1t was not until twelve o'clock that
the merry party broke UP and every
one present believed it TO be the mos
successful one ever given in this
school house.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES
Side Lights on; Next Sundays
Lesson fer Teachers and Pupils
Edited by Charles X. Meyers.

Jan. 5, 1915--God's Patience With
Israel. -Judges 2, 7-19.
Our lessons are now to We in the old
Testament. It will be a chtnge indeed
from The scenes of the death and as
cension OF Jesus to the days OF thous-
ands OF years before His birth. We
must try 10 realize the state of civil
cation in those days when the Chill
dren OF Israel were dit last in Pales-
tine their Promised Land. Their
ACTS must be judged, by the light they
possessed and not by our enlightened
vision
1t will hardly be necessary yet it
may be proper to call attention to the
history of the Israelites just previous
to the lesson. 1t will be remembered
that their ancestors had been slaves
in Egypt and had been led out under
the leadership of Moses. After forty
years Of wandering they entered the
promised land with Joshua leader, who
succeeded Moses just as the Jordan
river was crossed. Under his general
ship Jerico was taken and the land
near about .wrested from the inhabit-
ants. When this was done the people
began cultivating the soil, herdins
their flock, building their cities. They
had no king, no royal house, but Josh
ue acted as director end advisor on
matters both religious and govern
mental.
The lesson verses open with state
ment that the people served God dur
ing all the days OF the life OF Joshua
and OF the elders who had seen ell tie
great things God had done for Israel.
When there grew up q generation Of
Jews WHO had not been eye Witnesses
of the direct hand CT God in their de-
liverance and guidance, they became
cold in His service and began worship
ing the gods OF the heathens about
them.
y The fact that while Joshua lived the
