The Ideal theatre, at Wlhltmire, Mr..
A. J. Holt, manager has arranged to
show the motion pictures of "The
Perils of Pauline" The people there
have heard so much of these fine pic

the opportunity to see for themselves.

New York Times. What is NeWber-
~ doing about it?
That 80 year old half dollar piece
Mr.. Tom Mayes got back with his init
ials on it reminds US of the man who
printed his initials on brand new
dollar bill and spent It a. he village
store. thinking it was gone for ever
and he'd see it no more. Unlike Mr..
Mayes the man kept on getting his
dollar back until he sent it to a mail
order house, whence it never did re-
turn.
Food has been cornered.-Para-
graph from exchange editorial. Yes,
and it is enough to make the masses
rise and wipe out the robbers who
corner the markets. AS one OF our ex-
changes says, there can be no such
rise in food prices without conspiracy.
The wheat crop Of this country was
the largest in its history and bhe corn
crop is estimated as one of the larg-
est. AS one has well said, "the fam
inc prices for food are due to the most
arbitrary and criminal speculation.
The thieving spectators deserve
death.

Respectfully submitted,
Coleman Livingstone Blease.

Respectfully submitted,
Coleman Livingstone Blease.
August IA, 1914.
AT the conclusion Of the reading Of
the return Mr.. Blease stated that il
there was any question about the
right of Governor Blease to vote in
Ward 5, that he would address ths
committee on that question.
Rev. q. W. Bedenbaugh, Mr.. ]. c.
Neel, and others expressed themselves
as being convinced that under the
rules Governor Blease had the right
to vote in Ward 5. Mr.. R. T. C. Hum
er seemed to doubt it, but no other
member Of the committee agreed with
Mr.. Hunter, so far as could be seen.
Rev Mr.. Bedenbaugh moved that
Governor Blease be allowed to remain
on the Ward club roll. The chair
man ruled that no motion was neces-
sary, that Governor Blease's name
would stay there unless it was strick-
en- off by the committee. No vote was
ever taken or ordered.
It is supposed that Governor
Bleases reference to flirting with
Populists," which is mentioned in his
return was to be applied to Chairman
Keitt, the governor having repeatedly
charged Mr.. Keitt with having been
Populist.
Several other persons were called
to answer charges of being wrongly
enrolled, besides Governor Blease and
mis- brother. We are informed that
all the challenged persons were Bleass
men. They were as follows: Rex.
Hunter Evans, Daniel Clifton Orig
gers, Thomas Lafayette Milstead, Ben
jamin Thomas Reagin, George Wash
ington Thompson, Robt. Corley, James
Benjamin 0utz, Lonnie Lee Rowell.
Bejamin Rcwell Rotten and Henry
Mathis Hook
No one was stricken off by the COM
mittee, however Several who were
present explained to the satisfaction
of the committee that they had right
! to vote and their names were ordered
! left on the rolls. In the other cases
action was continued until ~next
| Thursday, when the committee <is to
meet again.
A committee on investigation con-
sisting of ]. R. Green, B. B. Leitzsey,
DR.. W. C. Brown, Rev. a. wv. Beden-
baugh and J. f. Bpting was appoint
! ed to consider these matters.
A committee on naturalization, con-
sisting OF J. B. O'Neall Holloway, R.
T. C. Hunter, L. =. Dominick, and Rob-
ert E. Livingstone was appointed to
see into the matter of foreigners, and
to find out if any enrolled did not have
naturalization papers. Any informa-
tion due either of these committees
will be gladly received by the chair
men before Thursday.
The secretary was requested to look
into the matter of negro voters, and TO
see if they had proper sworn certi-'
ficates.

Washington GLADDEN.. the preacher
democrat, told an audience in Cleve7
land the other day what caused
poverty. The causes he named We're
these:
Ignorance and inefficiency, waste
full government the destructiveness
of wars, absurdly high tariffs and
stock watering.
A bad bunch, we'll all agree. But
there's a sixth cause, which DR.. Glad
den shouldn't overlook, for it's the
biggest little worker in the group,
and it works while you sleep.
1t is the private pocketing of the
publicly increase in land
values-the tendency toward private
monopoly in land. Cleveland offers
some striking Illustrations of it.
In that city there's a middle-aged
doctor, who during twenty-five years
of practise has averaged $4,000 year.
BY working faithfully night and day
he has over quarter of century
received $125,0O0, and, we guess, he
earned it, too.
When he started practising he was
offered the purchase of a house and
lot near the present business centre
He could have bought then for $4,000.
Today the land alone is rented on a

men in Boston who were warm ed.

believed in free speech. They or

IN Essex street, and asked him If. in
view OF the personal danger, he was

appearance as he replied to us. We
saw a magnificent display of moral
ana physical courage. He said that
he would walk out of his front door
TO Music Hall alone and unattended,
even though he was sure his BODY
would be brought back.
I'VE told him that we would escort
him to the hall every Sunday morn
ing or evening. We provided our
selves with weapons, of which the
siungshot which you now see was
one. In fact, almost all the mem
oers OF the vigilance committee car

you rather have more good, stanch
friends who believe in you and who
would stand by you in the severest
adversely than have a little more
money? What will enrich the life so
much as hosts of good loyal friends?
Most of us attend to everything else
first, and if we have any little scraps
of time left we give them to our
friends, when we ought to make a
business of our friendships. Are they
not worth it?
The faith of friends is a perpetual
stimulus. How it nerves and encour-
ages us to do our best when we feet

in usl
1t means a great deal to have en-
thusiastic friends always looking out
for our interests, working for us all
the time, saying a good word for us
at every opportunity, supporting us.
speaking for us in our absence when
we need a friend, stopping ISLANDERS,

to set us right, overcoming the preju-
dices created by some mistake or slip

One redSon WHY 50 MANY people dre
disappointed with what life has for
them is because they have never Gull
tivated the capacity for friendship.
Friendship is no one-sided affair,
but an exchange of soul qualities.
There can be no friendship without
reciprocity. Many people are not
capable of forming great friendships,
because they do not have the quail
tiles themselves which attract noble
qualities in others. If you are
crammed with despicable qualities,
you cannot expect any one to care
for you. If you are uncharitable, in
tolerant, if you lack generosity,
cordially; if you are narrow and
bigoted, unsympathetic, you cannot
expect that generous, large-hearted,
noble characters will flock around
you.

Not long ago Mr.. Mellen, the for
mer president of the New Haven
Railroad, and most bitterly talked
about railroad man of his time said:
81 thought if man knew his bust
ness and worked at it hard and pro-
duced the best product he could with
the materials available, that was
enough. But apparently 1t was not.
''It is enough until a storm breaks
said the newspaper man to whom
Mr.. Mellon was talking.
II thought / was strong enough to
meet any Storm he answered.
What should man do to prepare
for the kind of storm that hit me?"
HE might have made more friends
outside of the line of business-friends
with the public"

larly since their own scholars still
had Ito pore over books without in

The Justice of his statement needs
no comment. A remarkable historical
zeal has long been manifested in
America. Every State and nearly
every large city has its historical
library; colleges and universities are
jealous of their collections; the veri-
est hamlets, in our older localities,
have their historical and genealogical
societies; and private accommodations
are innumerable-all freely at the SER
vice Of the investigator. The organi.
cation before which Mr.. Rhodeb spoke
has itself closed a century in gather
ing specialized accumulation of al
most unique fullness. Only the fed
eral government may be accused Of
tagging behind.

WORK OF THE HISTORIAN

Views of what is the distinctive his
torical faculty, whether breadth of
vision, power of organization, philo-
sophical insight, or narrative talent,
must vary as widely as historical
styles and aims; but upon one re-
quirement, skill and patience in re-
search, all agree, says the New York
Evening Post Even the impression

ton" had to bewail in his Frederick

and ashes to be tumbled down to dis

especial pleasure the remarks of
