London by one nurse visiting a single

visits were so fruitful as to arouse the

on this country to furnish them
1t is in the invaded sections Of north
ern France that these implements are
most needed This fact is emphasized
in a recent communication from the

the conditions and needs in France

is as follows

try which is absolutely destitute Of

envy, in their retreat from the countries

The fact is then stressed that it is the
women and children upon whom the
labor Of tilling the soil has fallen, and
that they must be equipped with tools.

to purchase and supply them the fol-

EDITOR I'll RaSO Herald
Please let me, through the columns
of your paper, thank the person who
sent Y Y. Z. the paper. which was
carefully read. While I agree entirely
with the editor OF that paper that il
would be a calamity for our church to
gain control OF our budding citizenship
through the use Of the Gary system in
the schools, yet j cannot see why that
should follow If the Protestant churches
are as wideawake and as willing 10
subordinate their comparatively unim-
portant sectarian differences to the
needs Of this emergency as they ought
to be-
It looks to a fair minded observer
very much this way: II the Protestants
are not willing TO sacrifice for the
children of this country; and the Cath
olics are. why then the children ought
to go to the church that knows their
value.
The Bible ought to be taught to the
children Of the nation (who are grow
ing up with criminal tendencies) and If
not in the homes. then the public
schools must do It.
Since when has it been that the
Roman Catholic church allowed its lay
men, least of all its children. TO study
the Bible2 1t is a new thing under
the sun.
If PROSECUTING is done in the schools,
il is not so much the Gary system that
is to blame as the fact that Protestant
voters elect Catholic officials to all the
influential offices. Let US have a few
schools dominated by no church-non-
sectarian. Y Y. T.

ROBINSON IN A ROMP

OF the Race for the Republican
Nomination for Governor
of the State.

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-Today's
reports brought to town by several
experienced observers of, and active
actors in, Republican politics in West
Virginia, served TO make the senti-

Judge Robinson will easily walk or
with the gubernatorial nomination the
more pronounced. It's still Robinson
in romp, say those who IRE closely
in touch with the home-strctch con
dition of the race.

has twice represented Ohio county in
the legislature, arrived In the capital
today. He told his West Virginia
friends here that II looked to him like
there was nothing TO II but the nom
ination of Judge Robinson" lie de-
clared that Judge Robinson would car
ry Ohio county by large majority,
and that the contiguous counties
would line UP for tho Taylor county
jurist with sweep.
I'm the closing days Of the spirited
contest between Judge Robinson and
General Lilly, that party sentiment
without knowledge OF which an expert
observer of the trend is rs liable 10
be as far wrong as the vcriest novice
is asserting itself. We are finding out
now what the man who has been too
busy attending to his own business TO
bother himself about the contcat. Is
going TO do. In other words the big
silent vote of the party Is coming out
of its silence and It is speaking in un-
mlstakable preference for Judge Rob
inson's nomination While that vote
has refused TO bestir itself audibly
Until the time was ripe TO take hand
It is not meant that It has not read
and thought deeply and intelligently
on the subject and has been formulate
