SPEAKERSHIP RIVALRY
IN VIRGINIA Is ACUTE

RICHMOND, Va. October 4.-Rival-
ry for the speakership of the next
house Of delegates is becoming
acute. Claims made by the candidates
and their friends for the honor are
varying-they do not come within
speaking distance Of each other. For
instance. the claim is made on be-
half of K n. Gilpin Of Front Royal
that he will have more than fifty
votes in the caucus; Col: Brewer, the
other aspirant, says he is positive he
will have more than sixty five when
the roll is called in the caucus: That
accounts for a membership of 115 in
the house of delegates, and the law
allows only an even hundred. and
from this the republicans have to be
deducted.
In this connection it is generally
conceded that the minority party in
Virginia will have more members in
the lower branch the coming session
than in years. Defeat of men who
have been prominent is impending.
and the defeat is going to be visited
in a domcratic district. That is the
news coming here.

IN tnA famous Sugar Loaf noun

tuclssa . school. Halsted. which has
the making Of one Of the most un-
usual educational institutions in the
east. School officials Of Frederick
and Montgomery counties, and off,
cials Of Maryland. for that matter,
have great hopes for this school. They
believe that with proper supervision
1t will become the center of vocation
Il training for rural girls and boys
throughout the country.
Halsted is now a four-room, mod
efnly constructed and equipped
school. Modern is used advisedly, and
in the sense that because of endow-
ment- the school has been erected with
IN eye for future development, and
supplied with furnishings which
school boards contemplate only and
never buy because of expense and
the hobby of Gordon Strong. Chicago
and Frederick county, whose country
home is just q stones throw from
the school building.
Primarily for Mountain Youth.
Primarily this school is for the
benefit of boys and girls of the
mountainous sections of FREDERICK
and Montgomery counties, who would
otherwise not be given educational
advantages. The school was taken 70
the pupils, when it was found that
the Youths would not go to the more
modern schools in the cities OF the
counties and the state. And a stan OF
the most efficient teachers at the COM
mand of the Frederick county board
Of educatien has been assigned TO
the school,
departrients, a real blacksmith shop,
the use of one Of the most modern
dairies Of the state. Gordon Strong S;
and the use of some 1000 acres or
land. about zoo acres of which have
been cleared Of wood. This. in add1-
ton to the regular academic, agri-
cultural and vocational courses, pro-
vided after careful study OF the
needs Of the community, the wishes
of the parents and the inclination OF
the pupils. Gaping 1t all. they have
4 swimming pool. concreted, lroomy,
constructed at . cost OF several thou
sand dollars.
Just OF from the school building is
the home of the principal OF the
ochoSl and his stan. It was construct
"a BY Gordon Strong for this purpose.
In keeping with the scheme OF the
school. the home is modern in every
respect.
Five students Of Chicago. proteges
OF Gordon sStrong, have already been
enrolled Ae the school and have taken
up the CBt1fse. So It is expected that

such as were found years ago in the

the Sugar Loaf mountains, nor have
they entirely died down.
And the sons of these hardy natives

The Point of View

SANDERS Shiny tongue.
Slips silly over words.
OF inuendo that do more harm
To innocence.
Than open accusation.
No longer is it
Form the best
Boldly to proclaim another's guilt
But rather softly to suspect.
And in suspecting put the note of
half-praise.
Than bold charges.
And far less possible.
Of any refutation.
A rattlesnake gives warning.
When he is about to strike
And his poison is quick and deadly,
But a gossip's tongue is oily
And its poison slow
And for it there is no antidote
Save time, for truth is not always
mighty
And it does not always prevail.
