ENGLAN0'S MILITARY LOSS.

England suffers great loss in Kitch-
ener. The loss is not actual so much
as IN its effect upon the nations spirit.
The English people looked toward
Kitchener as rock of defense a great
soldier and its leading military man.
Joined 10 the results OF the great sea
fight the death Of the great soldier can
not fail TO have a most depressing effect
on his country.
Outside its sentimental side. however,
the loss is more imaginary than real.
Nations turn TO their older military
seuiuses and successes in time OF
stress. Il is also historically true that
the real leader Of winning wars comes
out Of those unseen and unnoticed at
the beginning of desperate struggles
1t was thus in our own civil war: il
was true OF Napoleon: and it is true in
most great national struggles. We
turned 10 the successful invader OF
Mexico at the beginning Of our great
war and to Halleck later but victory
waited for the Galena tanner.
But Great Britain lost a grea, SOL
der and a faithful servant of the
crown. That ii will have an effect upon
the morale Of the nation is undoubted.
but the loss OF a soldier trained in a
previous generation is not serious in a
war waged under new conditions with
new weapons and new tactics and is
easily overestima.ed.

An IOWA ANOMOLY.

The returns available this morning

Scott county convention which was

1 port and agreed TO stay out OF the
/ county if he were elected to the office.
That explanation may be accepted by
j temperance voters at It's face value.
The Wilson vote corroborates it

direct slap in the face with the nom

the words Of Mr.. Lane as to the ex-
PLANTATION he made to the Scott county
delegatio and which he said that Mr..
Wilson desired him TO make there is
but one conclusion TO be arrived at by
temperance voters and friends OF tenn
perance ana that IS that the attorney
generals office is not to interfere with
vets in wet communities. The sug-
gestion is that there will be no inter
if Wilson should land in the office.
The spectacle is presented of the re-
publican party dry, headed by a wet
nominee for governor and a wet can
didate in the lead for attorney general.
with woman suffrage defeated mainly
because womens votes in Iowa are OPP
posed TO the liquor traffic, the traffic
in souls and the oppression of child
labor, the welfare Of the many as
against the interests Of the few, Il is
simply reaction and reversal of the
things Iowa republican has stood for
during thirty years The party turned
down men like Cosson and Allen, both
strong men who have earned the graft
cude of the party by strenuous and
faithful service and high citizenship to
nominate Harding with emphasis; will
It complete the Job by naming Wilson
by a primary vote or in the conven-
ton?
II is a situation that leaves little
cause for pride and offers full oppor-
tunity for regret. Harding's nominal
ton is accepted by the vets as wet
victory. It must be SO accepted by the
drys. If Wilson is wet N Davenport
ne is wet elsewhere. The two candi-
dacies hang together and complete the
picture.
An anomaly in Iowa is a wet repub

TREATING DUAL PERSONALITY rRouBl E

The case Of Lippard, who the SECTORS
are credit!ng with TWO personalities"
IS worth looking over carefully. Lip
pard got job as station agent on
-aiiroad in Iowa, ordered diamonds Of
firms that made business of deferred
payments on diamonds and got away
with the stones. They caught him after
a While and when arrested ne suddenly
went dumb and has stayed 50 for
some months. He was sent TO an Iowa
institution for the insane and is now
about 10 be released The doctor ex-
plains that Lippard has dual per-
sonality." The state officials have been
studying what to DO with him.
1t IS problem easy Of solution. A
dual personality needs dual treatment.
The ;hieving personality seems TO
be in charge only while ne can talk
and scheme plans for separating par
tial payment houses from third class
diamonds. When he can't talk hes
insane or deficient The system is TO
keep Mr.. L. in the institution while
he's dumb and transfer him to the pen
when he shows signs of changing per-
sonalities. Dual personalities need
double treatment. While the Jeckyll
side is uppermost he could be kept
busy III the asylum washing dishes
and scrubbing floors, thus earning
three squares day. When Mr.. Hyde
gets the strangle hold and turns Doc
Jeckyll underneath put Hyde squaring
the rock formations Of the ages down
at Fort Madison under proper super
vision, thus avoiding loss Of valuable
and desirable property on the outside.
That's the only satisfactory fashion OF
getting along comfortably with a dual
personality.

The national convention Is an en-
thusiastic gathering called for the
purpose of nominating president
who will listen to reason. Ii is held
once in every four years at heavy
expense fo- badges and delegates,
which is cheerfuiiy betrayed by the
second-class postmasters and the can
didates for federal office with which
every. town Of over 400 population Is
thickly congested.
One Of the FIRST acts OF the National
Convention is to open with prayer,
thus injecting religion into politics,
but not enough to spoil the program.
After the national committee has seated
all of the delegates that will stand
without a rope halter. the. polls are
opened and a number of worthy citi-
zens are voted for by their own states.
When this has proceeded far enough
to permit the manufacture OF 1000
feet Of moving picture film. the lead
ers decide to nominate somebody who
is strong with the masses and at the
same time Is ace-high with the
classes.
Sometimes one Of the leaders will

Used the post office or position as
guardian of fling cabinet ii the cen

durate he is given a massage by the
driver of the steam roller.
Another important act Of the Ma
tional Convention is to adopt plat
form which was written in New York
the summer previous and contains
several kiln-dried planks first used
during the Lincoln Douglas campaign.

WILL ORGANIZE new
LEAGUE IN VIRGINIA
Mayor Jester, OF Lynchburg, Making
Efforts to Get Hill City People
Interested.

Lynchburg, Va. Sept. 10.--A move.
ment Will be started in Lynchburg
shortly to interest citizens in the mat
ter OF securing professional baseball
next summer and 1t Is expected that
the proposition will instantly appeal
to those having a weakness for the
national game. Mayor Royston Jester
is back of the project and he declared
yesterday that he believed there would
be Very little difficulty selling stock
at IS a share to as many citizens as
will be necessary to make the finan-
cial end a success.
Mayor TESTERS idea is to dispose of
stock among young business and pro-
fessonal men and also among local
merchants with the idea of making
the baseball association a community
proposition in which everyone would
be interested. Certain restrictions
~eafd-ee imposed to prevent the pur-
chase of more stock than the hackers
would be willing to sell to any one
person in order to conserve the COM
munity's spirit in the team.
1t is confidently believed that a
league can be organized next season
to include Roanoke, Lynchburg and
Danville and three North Carolina
cities. That Lynchburg will support
team is conclusively shown by the
patronage this season when amateurs
scheduled games at the fair grounds.
Mayor Jester stated that he in
tended to discuss the proposition with
friends in Roanoke soon and he
thinks there is sufficient interest in
the Magic City to add impetus to the
movement to organize a new league
