Putting the Lid on in Virginia

The Old Dominion bulges into
the limelight with excitement
that must make Atlanta grind its
teeth and turn green with envy
for not having thought of it first.
1t seems that the prohibitionists
with a view to safeguarding
the newborn prohibition law,
had a statue enacted providing
for the ousting of any official
who refuses or fails to enforce
all the laws of the state impart-
tally; whereupon the Morally
Stunted dug up a set of antiquat-
ed blue laws, of the vintage of
1876, and are preparing to see
to it that the officers enforce
them every one as soon as the
custer law goes into effect,
which is Sunday, June IS.
AS a result not only will every
cigar store and soda fountain be
shut tight as wax next Sunday,
but newspaper men, street car
operatives, bootblacks and news
boys will be arrested as soon as
they attempt to enter upon their
days duties. 1t is proposed to
arrest also even paid orgainists
and choir singers. Jitneys will
not be allowed to operate in any
city of Virginia, and even chauf-
feurs of private automobiles will
be forbidden to work. If you
haven't an automobile, or even
if you have one, but are not able
to drive it, you will walk.
There will be keen suffering
in Virginia cities next Sunday.
The Morally Stunted have put
one over on the Pure in Heart of
the urban population. But the
question is, what effect is that
going to have on the rural vote,
which put the prohibition law
across, and holds the balance Of
power in Virginia? The horny
handed agriculturist, we fear,
will take a shameless delight in
the plight of his city brethren.
We can think of few more divert
ing situations than to have
the members of the next legisla-
ture Representing rural consti-
tuencies revolt when the pro
posal to repeal the anciect blue
laws comes up.
The joke is clearly on the Pure
In Heart at the moment; but
there is at least a possibility
that eventually it may be on all
city dwellers, Greensboro Daily

The people of Roanoke Rapids
can congratulate themselves
upon the fact that the sidewalks
are now an assured fact and that
work will be begun on them in
the next two or three weeks. The
discovery of the existence of a
law requiring a petition to the
Board of Town Commissioners
from the majority of the property
owners holding the majority of
the frontage of the district for
the laying of sidewalks delayed
the sidewalks for more than a
month while the signatures nee
essary were being secured. The
Board now has the petit
ton in hand with much more
than a majority of both owners
and frontage and the way is
clear for the advertisement of
and awarding contract for the
work.

Poverty and Piety

Almost every day we fall with
good people who have a deep
seated conviction that poverty
promotes piety, that wealth
breeds wickedness, and that the
church has nothing to do with
treasure on earth, and the pro-
blems of material welfare and
well-being.
We never argue the questions,
but we always wonder what the
Master meant when he counsel
ed the disciples to make for
themselves friends of the Nam
mon of unrighteousness. Is it
not possible that in this matter
the children of this world are
wiser than the children of light?
DR.. George Adam Smith, the
noted Scotch minister and auth
or, has an interesting chapter on
this subject, He contends that
the great spiritual awakenings of
history have been preceded by
conditions of wealth and COM
fort.
Lollardy, says he, grew out of
the opulence of Norfolk, Puri-
tanism out of the trading pros
perity of England, and Meth
odism out of the improved wages
of English toilers.
AS a matter of fact, are efforts
for improved social conditions a
preparation for the Gospel? Or is
the Gospel a preparation for i'm
proved social conditions "a pre-
lude to abundant corn and oil and
wine, to use Joel's phrase?
Here are fundamental ques-
tons that call for definite, GER
tain answers in these times of
social ferment. University

WHAT IS SCHOOL
BOARD WITHOUT
A MOTHER? Ell?

I'VE would not have the men
think" said she, because we
bombarded the school board and
gained admission, that as a whole
We had any particular fault to
find, except that 1t lacked the
benefit of the woman's point of
view in so important a matter as
the proper education and training
of children.
my idea in serving on the
school board is to give mothers
an equal representation with the
fathers in guiding the children
through school"
Mrs. McQuesten harbors no mar
row prejudices.
Men have built up an ideal
work on a prosperity basis" she
frankly admits, but the wom-
ans work is welfare, and welfare
must be blended with prosperity
to make an even balance.
The women of today feel that
the school is the one social insti-
tuition which must respond to the
big needs of the people.
IL cherish the hope that
through our schools the great
problem of the idle class can be
in a large measure successfully
solved by fitting each boy and
girl for his and her natural voca-
ton.
II am strongly in favor of ex-
tending vocational training in our
public schools.
Since | have an opportunity to
speak through the press to the
mothers whom | represent, /
would urge them to get into the
Parent-Teacher associations and
take an active part in the Won
derful work they are striving to
accomplish. | am speaking par
ticularly to the little mother who
sincerely believes when she has
seen to it that Johnny's face is
clean. stockings mended, that he
gets three meals a day and is
never tardy or absent that she has
done her duty. She is mistaken.
If mother would gain and keep
the confidence of her children.
she must grow up with them, or
at least keep abreast of them"

By Cynthia Grey.

What Is a school board with
out a mother? This slogan form
ulated itself in my mind just aft
er had talked with Mrs. Ida
McQuesten, first woman presi-
dent of the Tacoma school board.
While Mrs. McQuesten is clever
and Intellectual, she Is not a poll
tician in the ordinary sense of the
word.
She is very human and dis
tinctly feminine. She finds time
for many things which every wom-
an delights in.
For instance, this interview was
snatched between acts in the Blue
Room at the Masonic Temple
where l found Mrs. McQuesten
busy drilling some of the young
ladies of the Eastern Star for
team work.
At first l was disappointed
that | could not meet her as Mrs.
President, In her official chair;
but soon | realized that here I
could study her from the human
angle.
My first discovery was that
these young ladies', mostly in
their late teens and early 2O's
addressed her as Mother.
Later learned that she had been
twice mother, and had not death
robbed her of her own, her chill
dren would now be Is and 20
years of age.
But Mrs. McQuesten did not
surrender to the irony of fate
instead, she is loving mother to
everybody's else children. And
she is just the kind of a woman
you would be proud to introduce
as YOUR mother.
Beautiful dark gold hair, Just
tinged with grey, softly curling
about face that Is rather free
of the marks of time: mouth
that smiles easily and yet can
shut with a firmness which speaks
for clean-cut thought and char
acter; good teeth and sympathetic
eyes.-such is a pen picture of
Mrs. McQuesten.

it has grown from nothing to its
present magnitude, but the work
in connection with its manage
ment, instead of growing less, ap-
pears to be growing harder and
more exacting, until now it re-
quires practically every moment
of my time and thought.

With the Essayists,

Of all the displays of art the essay is the most indefinable, the most sub tie. because it has no scheme, no pro- gram.
 It does not set out to narrate or to prove; it has no dramatic purpose, no imaginative theme; it's essence Is a sympathetic self-revelation, just as in talk man may speak frankly Of his own experiences and feelings, and yet avoid any suspicion of egotism, if his condolences are designed to illustrate the thoughts of others rather than to provide a contrast and a self-glorifica- tion
 The essayist gives rather than claims; he compares rather than pa rades. He is led by his interest ia others to be interested in himself, and it is as a man rather than as an indi- vidual that he takes the stage.
 He must be surprised at the discov- cries he makes about himself, rather than complacent; he must condone his own discrepancies rather than exult in them.
