But there are helpers all around us. the clean
ings as the pure of heart For purity of heart and
cleanliness of mind are intimately related. One
cannot have either without having the other. Out
of purity of heart, which is healthy feeling, gush
those regenerating waters that keep the mind
clean. To feel right is to think right and to be
right to have the kind of health that makes physi-
cal thriving mere incident of being, the normal
energizing.

In the small ways of living we all exert an in
huence on one another, none the less real for
being at times hardly discernible. There are those
who, the instant they enter a group, cause the
social thermometer to drop. Why is this phenom-
enon? Surely something is wrong here. Those
people, free before have become guarded self-con-
scious. They are seemingly aware of danger. They
scent some kind of contamination. An unclean
influence is at work, of those forces that we
regard mysterious simply because we do not
trace them to their lair, to the region that is
tally unclean. If we exert this influence we are
likely to blame those others who, in presence
appear at their worst. For one of the signs Of
mental uncleanlness is that it continually blamcs
others in its justification of itself. For this
it is difficult to reach, all the difficult because
the only efficient doctor here must be the patient
as we'll

What is most deplorable about the mentally
unclean, however, is, not that they harm them
like all human beings, even while they complain
of the darkness about them, they make their en-
vironment darker. The trail through life of such
a one is often like line of ugliness achieving a
sad contrast with the trail through life of one
well-disposed, like line of radiance.

A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year.
First printing of an original poem, written daily
for The Washington Herald.
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-26

But il that young woman no longer had imita-
tors in her withdrawal from the world, there were
plenty who in their mental attitude, were exactly
like her. And they were not all women either.
They included those who, disappointed in life,
fancied they were taking revenge on life by their
hostility and scorn by making themselves the prey
of unsocial states of mind If they could only see
that they were actually taking revenge on them
selves.

full lips In her colonial day. the guide said. she
had been belle; but as she grew older she ap-
parentiy lost her interest in life and she withdrew
from the world. When tradesmen brought supplies
to the house she would hide behind the open door,
holding out her hand.
On hearing that story, looked again at the
portrait with a new interest. That young woman
represented an od-fashioned type, often celebrated
in the fiction of half century and more ago.
People like her had virtually ceased to exist This
expression of egotism, so obviously kind of men
tai unceanliness had given way before the exeite-
ment and the hurry of living 1t would now be as
remarkable as the habit of fainting which used to
be so popular among ladies who wished to make
themselves the center of interest and sympathy.

the odd treat for a crowded court
room that attended the trial of
these well-known attorneys be-
fore Judge Andy Calhoun yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Smith was found guilty of
assault and battery, and Mr.. Ar
mold acquitted of the same charge.
The trial was the outcome of an
alteration in the Thrower build
ing-in which the courthouse
was temporarily located at the
tlme-a year or more ago during
a trial of the famous Crawford
case.
Bot attorneys had been indict-
ed by the grand jury several
months ago, when w. M. Byrd
and c. w. Walton, the alleged
victims, appeared before the jury
and demanded true bills. It was
charged that Mr.. Smith had in
suited one of the women wit
nesses in the case, and that Byrd
and Walton sought to defend her.
They were slapped by the stall
wart lawyer. Both men, ii was
charged, were fighting Mr.. Smith
when Mr.. Arnold interfered.

The Passing OF Blease.

Almost better than Of the retir ernent Of
Huerta would be the adviCes which come
from South Carolina to the effect that the peo-
the barefaced demagogy Of Cole Blease The
South. in recent years, has been unfortunate in
the number Of loud voiced, ranting politicians
It has produced. 1t is only recently that JEFF
Davis tho blatant champion of the hill Rillies Of
Arkansas passed from the stage of action Mis-
sissippi still has its Nardaman, and Cole Blease
has out-Davised Davis and out-Vardamaned
Nardaman In South Carolina He will probably
down in history the most indiscrete gov
ernor that any state in the Union has produced.
AS long South Carolina stood by Rlease she
had to be judged by him Her reputation Of
him. which is indicated In the news coming
pleasure by every sincere friend Of the State
and by every real friend of the South.
Il s probable that hts course in trying to
oversize ..te laws of the State by driving the
healthy influence OF penitentiary out of ex-
istence served more than anything to awaken
the voters of South Carolina to the folly of
the man We hone that he will fall into
that obscurity from which he was never entitled
to rise. Men of his stripe do more to re-
tard the worlds good opinion Of the South in an
hour than good men able TO do to promote II
man. but rather of weak intellect
and strong passions We hope that in era Of
his ascendency in South Carolina may become a
forgotten chapter in the history Of that proud

the city of Richmond.
OF this number 1890 have qualified since the
issuance of the last printed list some OF them
having come of age, and others having met the
required payments of poll taxes. The list is now
closed. and the 1926 represent Richmond's
qualified electorate for the congressional pri
mary June 9Th; the administrative board pri
mary July 10Th, and the Statewide prohibition
election in September. No more can get on the
list no matter how much they would like TO vote
on any or all of these issues. and of course they
have only themselves to blame. II is much 10
Richmonds discredit that its electorate is 80
small~-it should cast at least 10000 votes in
every election in which It's citizens are entitled
to participate but II ia some satisfaction to note
that the qualified list is steadily growing The
young mems registration committee did a great
work in awakening the voters to a sense of civic
pride and civic duty, and that the list has grown
appreciably is due almost entirely to their eff.

what doubtful just now. A forensic
battle would be acceptable to Mr..
Wendenburg, 1t was stated at his
headquarters in the Murphy hotel but
1t is feared that his duties at Wash

gun in Richmond at big meeting at
