President Wilson says 1.-The minis
try il the only profession that con-
sisis in being something and # Goes
not consist in anything else" We
are heartily in accord with him, but
we would appropriate his phrase and
apply it TO good citizenship, and de-
clare that good citizenship consists in
being something"
What is a good citizen? You can
not define one. You cannot lay down
q platform and declare that the man
whe sulaaeribes to II Is good citizen
and the man who does not Is had
citizen. You cannot do that because,
try as you may. your platform will
not cover all the eventualities.
However. in. any given situation
you can always tell who are the good
citizens. You can tell it by what
they are, and partly by what they
do. In the great and small issues of
being citizens.
We have one good citizen in Rich
mond. 1t does not matter whether
he Is legally a citizen or not, for good
citizenship is not determined by ter
ssstorlai boundaries Or iegai require
ments. There may be others, many
others, in Richmond who are good
citizens. We hope there are. We
believe there are. But we know there
is one. His name is Arthur Glas-
gov,
How do we know this man IS n
good citizen? BY what he is and by
what ne does. Mr.. Glasgow mas been
the leading spirit in an agitation for
better government in Richmond. He
has set forth tne highest qualities Of
good citizenship. Ia the first place,
he has given us the benefit Of his
wide experience IN the ART of admin
sstration and government Then he
has gone out and brought together

.Iast Alabama law Unheld.

Montgomery, Ala. June 1.-THE
Alabama Supreme Court today in a
decislor held that the recently pass
ed anti-liquor shipping law was con-
stltutional. This law restricts tire

Alabama within prescribed periods.
A test case was through the South =
ern Express Company. VINO refused
to accept shipment over the amount
prescribed by law The law also fixes

THE SPECIAL AGENT.

I'VE do not know to what extent the
German government will accept the
testimony of DR.. Meyer Gerhard, the
special representative of the German
embassy to the. Kaiser. We do know,
however, that IL DR.. Gerhard's first
statement to the German people has
been fully and correctly reported in
the press, he is not real represent
tative of American sentiment.
HIS first quoted statement in the
German press is that:
1.-The feeling OF the American people
and their government against Ger
many Dis not warllke. Everywhere
there is an absolute desire for peace"
We are not prepared to accept this
statement without certain reserva-
tons. 1t is true that everywhere save
in the bosom of T. Roosevelt and SINH
larly afflicted Americans there is IAN
absolute desire for peace" but this
does not mean peace at any price"
Neither is the first part of the doc
tors statement exactly accurate as We
interpret the sentiment of the coun-
try. He says our feeling against Ger
many sis not warlike." Well. that
depends entirely on Germany. If she
meets our demands and complies with
the laws of humanity and interna-
tional conduct that prevailed pr 'r
to last August, our feelings are not
wariike, but one spark from the fire

MOTHER OF SUFFRAGE
IN NEW JERSEY DIES
Mrs. Christie Revived Votes for
Women Association.

Bayonne, n. j.. has lost its
mother of suffrage" Mrs. Isabel
Christie, who worked untiringly for the
cause in that city for many years, died
Wednesday night at her home there, at
Avenue C and Thirty-ffth Street. Mrs.
Christie, who was sevcnty>four years
old, leaves a husband. Alexander Chris
tie, and five daughters.
She was one of the women who. in
the eighties, revived the New Jersey
Woman Suffrage Association which
Lucy Stone founded in 1857. and which
had languished sadly.
About 1888 a group of women in Es-
sex and nearby counties decided that
it was time 10 wake the organization
up. Mrs Christie formed the Bayonne
Political Study Club, and was its presl-
dent until her death. At the same time
clubs were started in the Oranges and
neighboring towns and the state suit-
rage work began to look up.
II was Mrs. Christie's great wish to
vote before she died and she was look
ing forward with the keenest expecta-
ton 10 October 10, the day New Jersey
men are to decide whether the women
of the state shall be enfranchlsed.
