PUZZLING.

All efforts to embarass the Peace
conference in its difficult talks of adj
Justing and composing the claims of
the various nations ought to be dis
countenanced. The conference has
a thankless job on its hands and it
deserves to be sustained rather than
demoralized by public opinion.-Roa-
noke Times, May 9Th.
In the same editorial of which the
above is an extract, there is n decid-
ed jab at the "much discussed and
frequently quoted fourteen points"
which, says the editorial, "sorely puz-
zles those who attempt to interpret
the doings in Paris in strict conform
ity with President Wilson's DECLARE
ton Of principles" The Times should
not attempt too much in the way of
Interpretation. Little boats should
stay near the shore.

THE SOLDIER AND HIS VOTE.

Tazewell sent something like 900
soldiers to camp and overseas togeth-
er. Just the exact number is not now
available. The number of those who
were accepted, volunteers and regis
trantS-a number of the latter re-
jected, will foot up about 1000. Prob
ably about $50 of the boys were vop-
unteers. If we knew two things it
would be easier to determine the JUS
tice of injustice of the contention on
the part of number of citizens, that
the soldiers should be given the right
of suffrage, whether or not they are
able to comply with the legal quail
fications. One of these things is
whether or not the soldiers ask or de
sire this concession. TIE other is
their political status. The first Of
these questions can only be answer
ed by the boys themselves, and so far,
no census has been taken, notwith-
standing the intimation in the Rich
lands platform, which said: 1--WE join
our soldier boys in their demand for
full and complete citizenship, and call
upon the General Assembly of Viz
ginia to pass the necessary legislation
to relieve them from the requirements
of present laws as to the manner of
registration and payment Of poll tax"
What we are at loss to know is,
how or when the "dcmand" was made
by our soldier boys. Was a census
taken or were the platform makers
MISUNDERSTANDING upon their imag-
ination?
If the boys want Il special conccs-
sion granted them, the justice and
need of granting it might be arrived
at easier perhaps.
If the boys demand" the special
privilege of the right to vote, in lieu
Of the service they rendered or were
willing to render, then the case might
have different look on its face. We
do not believe that the boys have
ever intimated such demand" and
doubt that they, or majority of
them, will ever demand" or would
accept such sop if handed them.
They went to war from high and
patriotic motive, and now to offer
them charity in the shape of Il bal
lot unsought is not pleasant thing
to think of. Do the boys demand
the ballot?
Second question. "Iiow much poll
tics is prompting this demand on
the part of the Republicans or Demo
Gratis, now clamoring that "our SOL
der boys" be relieved of any and all
hindrances to voting?
The suspicion is not unwarranted
that the champions of the free ballot
system have an eye on political pos
sibilities under cover of veneer OF
patriotic interest in the boys. If the
personal opinion of this paper on the
subject is worth anything, here it is:
1.-THE wish is father to the thought
The advocates OF free suffrage for
the soldiers are suggesting cam
paign in the interest Of some political
scheme. 1t is partisan politics propa
ganda, pure and simple.

First Heats Run Off at
 Nashville Team Meet

Nashville, Tenn, May 16.-Vanderbilt placed two men when Nance sprinted the 100 yards in :10:01 and Mcdonald in :10:03. H. A. Porter of George town (Kentucky) University ran a dead heat with Nance in the second heat, while Caughlan of Sewanee took first over Mcdonald in the first heat in :10:02
 Sewanee is an odds-on favorite and is expected to run up a large total or points over the University of Missis- sipi, Vanderbilt, Georgetown and Uni- versity of Georgia, the only colleges who are entered.
 Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan- ical failed to enter team, as did Ala bama and Auburn.
 "Ole Miss" has only four entries, but this quartet gives promise of furnish ing strong competition. The big fight of the meet will be for second place honors and for the individual cups.
 The Mississippi team is composed of Jiggerts, Rowsey, Pigford and Ritchey. Tn a trial jump this afternoon Ritchey went an easy 20 feet inches, which is above the figures on the Vanderbilt Sewanee dual meet of several years ago. A heavy downpour of rain this afternoon wet the track considerably, but not enough to make the pathways muddy

MEMORY OF BISHOP
(Ry Associated Negro Pressl

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. Negroes
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
meeting here the past few days in con.
nection with the centenary council,
yesterday afternoon paid a beautiful
tribute to the late Bishop William
Capers when they placed wreath of
flowers symbolic of the great man
who devoted his life to the uplift of
man" on his tomb at the Washington
Street Methodist Church The wreath
was one of the prettiest of designs
and characterized a spirit of loving
remembrance by the Negroes for what
Bishop Capers had done for them.
Bishop Capers was the first man to
begin missionary work among the old
slaves years ago and spent fifteen
years of his life in teaching the old
Negroes a respect for Christ This
early teaching has not been forgotten
and when the centenry council met
yesterday and it was suggested to
place a wreath on the venerable bish-
ops grave the suggestion was unani-
mously adopted.
Bishop Capers was born in st. Thorn
as parish in the latter part of the
eighteenth century and died in An
derson in 1855. His entire life was
spent in helping the cause of Christ,
q large part in missionary work
among the Negroes. He has been
characterized as the pioneer of mis-
sionary work for the Negroes and his
example has been followed by many
good men.
He was buried directly underneath
the pulpit at Washington Street
Church, but tomb rests on the out
side of the church, just inside the
Marion street side of the fence, in re-
membrance of him. The wreath was
laid facing the west In attendance
at the ceremony were about rs prom
inent Negroes, including several bish-
ops from southern states.
