Moral Treason

There is plenty OF food in the United
States. This Is year OF unparalleled
agricultural prosperity, and the total
value of the farm products OF this
country has been estimated at $IO,-
0OO.000,000 on a peace basis. Yet with
foreign commerce all but paralyzed
with normal times, Americans are
compelled to pay famine prices for
their food in order to put millions in
to the pockets of Americans who are
morally guilty Of treason to their
country in the hour of great crisis.
The moral sentiment OF most of the
civilized world was shocked yesterday
by the report that the Germans had
levied war tribute of $40,0O0,000 up
on helpless Brussels. Yet this $40,-
100000 tribute is not one-tenth part
of the sum that food spectators are
preparing to exact from the poor and
the weak and the helpless in this free
republic.
The thing is so monstrous in its
iniquity that every man with even a
rudimentary sense of justice must re-
volt against it,
1t is idle to appeal to the patriotism
Of men who could be guilty of such
conduct, and ii is unsafe to await the
slow processes of criminal prosecution.
The United States Government has a
sovereign remedy in it's hands. 1t can
prevent the expectation of a single
pound of food until normal prices are
restored, and il should use this power.
Let Congress serve notice once and for
all that the American people are
neither to be plundered nor starved to
fatten private greed.-New York

EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Items OF Interest to Friends and
Patrons OF our Schools.
THE SCHOOL AND CIVIC LEAGUES
OF VIRGINIA

In Virginia there are 700 schools
and civic leagues organized in the
country school districts by the CO.
operative Education Association
which is a citizens organization work
ing in conjunction with the State De-
partment OF Education.
A school and civic league is "a
social club. school betterment as
sociation, and chamber Of commerce
set down in a country neighborhood
and holding its meetings in the school
house. Officers are elected, ueetings
are held monthly or fortnightly, and
the teacher is a leading spirit in all
activities" 1t is a means Of COM
munity education for practical citizen
ship adapted to rural conditions and
needs.
In addition to musicals, spelling
bees, and other social activities, dis
cussion and debate Of public ques-
tions. primarily of local interest, oc-
cupy the meetings. The Cooperative
Education Association sends to each
league programmes on such questions
as health, good roads, and better
farming. A home reading course has
been established, based on a textbook
on some rural subject, and supple
mented by bulletins from several State
departments and from the College of
Agriculture. Upon the completion of
the course members are awarded
certificates.
The civic training afforded by the
leagues comes largely, however,
through activity in behalf of better
comcunity conditions. One league
last year raised $4,000 for the inn
provement Of the roads leading TO the
school, and this year the good roads
meeting held in a one-room school
started a movement for a automobile
road over 100 miles in length.
The Improvement Of the school it
self is, of course, one Of the chief in
terests of the leagues. In 1912-1913
they collectively raised $4,000 which
was expended for Libraries, pictures,
pianos, window shades, and other i'm
provements.
In a sparsely settled section of
Charles City county, which until a
year ago had no school facilities, a
| league was formed. an old farm
building was rented and furnished
with few chairs and table, and the

Today's Poem
STAND THE GAFF


The iron must enter your soul, my
lad
Stand the gaff;
The hour will come when your ears
will smart,
When your cheeks will burn and the
tears will start
Let 'em laugh;
For the testing of manhood's cruel
thing,
And the lash of suspicion is heavy
with sting,
And slander and gossip are waiting to
fling
Their mud at the best Of ambitions
strong wing.
Injustice has always stood ready with
lies,
She's ahead on the heights and ex-
pecting your rise;
You must pay for your progress, for
there's no success
Where the wolf-pack Of envy does not
yelp and press.
You must pay for your courage, you
can't dare the stars
And escape without anguish and
bruises and scars.
The cheat and the coward are trailing
your track,
The sneak turks behind you to stab
in the back.
Keep honor, no matter how heavy the
cost;
Keen honor nothing that counts can
be lost.
When the choice lies before you to be
or seem right,
Then don't mind appearances-stand
up and fight.

Common Twist Candy

Boil pounds Of common sugar and
one pint of water over slow fire for
a half-hour without skimming. When
boiled enough take it off; rub the
hands over with butter; take that
which is a little cooled and pull it as
you would molasses candy, until is is
white; then twist or braid il, and cut
it up in strips. By letting boil trifle
longer and stirring in peppermint
fiavoring just before removing from
the fire this makes nice mint candy.

BY the time the final steps to-

State Department Protests 20 Car

PROTECT SPANISH RESIDENT:
Officials Say Treaty Rights Would
Be Violated Should Constitu-

Washington. April S.-Vigoroui
representations went from the
American government to General
Carranza, the constitutionalist chief
urging that he modify the order OF
General villa expelling Spaniards
from Torreon. This situation Ia
giving grave concern. The United
States has undertaken to extend to
Spaniards in Mexico the same pro-
lection 1t affords the Americans
there.
That Spain proposes to exhaust
every resource to protect her peo-
pie in the revolution was made plain
when Rear Admiral Mayo at Tam
pico cabled that the commanding
officer Of the British cruiser Her.
moine had been instructed to care
for Spaniards at this besieged fed
eral port.
The state department lacks exact
information as to the extent of the
decree Of expulsion, and how far 1t
has been executed. It is understood
that Villa, in a public speech, told
the Spaniards of Torreon that they
are to be deported en- masse; that
q committee would be appointed to
examine each case and that such of
them as could establish the fact
hat they have rendered no aid to
he Huerta cause would be permit
ed to remain.
Officials say the Spaniards are
n Mexico under the provisions of
. treaty comforting the right of
esidence, trades and travel and
nything like a sweeping deporta-
ion under the circumstances will
e in violation of the principles of
International law and would form a :
