new system is rapidly getting under way. The
organization OF the State central board passed
off quietly. no untoward circumstances having
marred its organization, and no revolution Of
outraged populace having taken place.
The work Of the new system will be watched
with interest, not only in Richmond and the
State. but throughout the country. Not many
people take the time and trouble to acquaint
themselves with what is taking place in the
rest of the country, even on matters which we
are facing in Virginia Only when the need of
adapting their experience to our needs arises
do We go afield and study the records. Then
# is that we are able to detect and profit by
the trial and error of others, We in Virginia
are now engaged in a work which will be studied
by others and taken or rejected guide to
them in their governments, Let us hope that
the experiment will eventuate auspiciously
as 1t has begun.

There is nothing more characteristic nor
more commendatory In the record OF Virginia
than the respect Of her citizens for the law
of the State In the few instances where our
courts have been dragged into prominence
through the trials of notorious criminals, they
have evidenced an ability and stability that
have enhanced the respect of the people for the
Virginia courts and OF outsiders for the law
abiding character OF our people. With all
these considerations in view 1t is inconceivable
that In the approaching trial Of negro brute
for an unspeakable crime any Of our people
will so far forget themselves as to threaten, or
to attempt. to take the law into their, own
hafrds either before or after the courts have
passed on the case and administered justice.
It may have been necessary to provide a
military guard for the prisoner he car
ried back for trial. The authorities, We pre-
sumo, had sufficient evidence to Justify them
In taking such measures. but without very
be thwarted we do not believe the good name
of any section should be brought into suspicion
by sending a body of armed men as though to
challenge any lurking lawlessness into open
outbreak.
But whatever has been done already, we do
not believe any of our Virginia people will be
led into transgression Of the law or to disgrace
ing the name of Virginia by lawlessness.

New York, April 30.--Pierre, NJ.
LOCKER, formerly president OF the

:, CHANCE OF SENTIMENT.

Rudyard Kiplng was never made poet laureate
of England because his poem "The Bear That
Walks Like Man" was offensive to Russia.
Now Mr.. Kipling has just withdrawn his moral
and financial support from the Polish Relief
Movement because the letter Of appeal published
by the leaders Of the movement criticize the
conduct Of the Russian army in Poland
Mr. Kipling, of course, has a perfect right to
alter his views or make his contributions where
he pleases We remark on the incident merely
to bring out the force and strength Of really
patriotic Englishmans convictions when not his
own country, but an ally OF his country, is criti
cized There may, and doubtless are. any num-
Der of men and women in Germany and Austria
as well as In England and France. who would
act Just as Mr. Kipling has done under similar
circumstances. II is because Of Mr.. Kipling's
international reputation and the slight to which
he was subjected in behalf of Russia to whose
defense he now scomes, that we remark on this
incident.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

DR.. Samuel Johnson, at a dinner
given to literary friends in London,
looking across the great dining hall,
pointed to man sitting at table in
far corner, and rolling in his chair,
as was his habit before speaking,
said. "See that person at the far ta-
BILE there with his back to the wall?"
His friends, looking, identified the
person referred to ."I hate that
man." said Johnson. what has he
done? Why do you hate him?" quer-
led Goldsmith. Because | do not
know him." replied DR.. Johson.
THAT is the only excuse for ninety
per cent of our dislikes and misunder-
standings" said DR.. johnson. Per
haps, if we knew each other well,
would love him."
Just so. Observation-Disclosures
of proper exchange of sentiments and
views-in short, lack of knowledge of
the motives and desires prompting ac-
tions, is responsible for much of the
i'll feeling that exists between men.
The last few days the writer has had
occasion to come to a better under
standing with few unfriendly men
simply by getting together with them
for better acquaintance and under
standing. And we were all surprised
to find that our antagonism was
largely misunderstanding of each 9TH
er's motives. And we determined
that henceforth we would at least
know what each was really trying to
get at before we took a stand against
each other. We may come to love
each other through this better under
standing.

MAKE APPEAL FOR CHILDREN

The Boys and Girls Aid Society
is making its annual appeal to the
schools and to the public for Thanks
giving contributions of money, food
supplies and clothing. For thirty
years the society has been caring for
the dependent and neglected children
OF Oregon, and it should have the
generous support of all citizens in
terested in child welfare.
During the past year the society
has cared for 491 children in its re-
ceiving home, and supervised over
500 children whom it has placed in
private homes. Whereas the aim of
the society is to place the child as
quickly as possible in a suitable
home, the care of children at the re-
ceiving home is necessarily a large
factor in the work. Such care in
cludes scientific treatment, for over
so per cent of the children COM
mitted are not placeable until physi-
cal defects and ailments have been
remedied Until they are placeable
the children must live in the receiv-
ing home, where everything is done
to give them the advantages of nor
NAL children. 1t is in furtherance
of this work that the cooperation of
public-spirited people is sought.
All contributions should be ad-
dressed to the Boys and Girls Aid
Society, Portland, Oregon, and should
be shipped over the following rail-
roads, which carry all donations to
the society free of charge between
November Is and December 81:

Movies Hit Saloon

The influence of the films on the
nation at large is something that can
hardly be oyerestimated. 1t seems
a far cry, for instance, from the
subject of the drink evil to that of
the motion picture industry, yet that
the latter is bringing tremendous
pressure to bear in the elimination
OF the former is an absolute fact.
There are vast numbers of people
who previously spent a good share
of their incomes in saloons, and now
turn for relaxation to the moving
picture houses, are entertained at
slight cost and save their health and
money in consequence. This is not
intended as a temperance argument.
Facts only are stated. Motion pic
ture managers are not anxious to
pose as philanthropists, but it can
not be denied that their business is
one that exerts an influence for good
on the public veal in the direction
of Turing citizens to the attractive
and harmless amusements they

GOOD OR BAD, WHICH ARE YOU?

No man is one hundred per cent
good. Christ is the only example of
perfection we know anything about.
The average man, then, We should
expect to find fifty per cent good and
the other half bad. We are so con-
stituted, however, that the man fifty
per cen bad is heinous creature, and
we forget that he is the logical aver
age. He appears worse, no doubt, be-
cause of our habit of seeking out the
bad and overlooking the good in our
fellow-men. Peculiar thing, this hu-
man mind. Extremely selfish, this
human nature. Extremely fortunate
are we if we stand above the average,
yet we hope to be counted best. By
excuses we almost convince ourselves
that we are best, but we fail to ex-
tend the same charity to others.
Sometimes We find men eighty per
cent good and but twenty bad. Sure
ly high mark of goodness. Yet we
so magnify his faults that he appears
to us not above, if not below, the fifty |
mark. The thing we call conviction
in religious revival is simply induc-
ing the individual to look at and in
voice himself When he looks fair at
his inner self he is startled, of course,
because heretofore he has busted him
self condemning others and excusing
himself. This is one of the glorious
things about a religious revival and
The use the world has for such preach
ers as Jonathan Edwards and Billy
Sunday. They had and have the pow
