IN MEMoRIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance Of our
dear daughter, Eva May Palmer, who de-
parted this life eight years ago today,
September o. 1912;
In a graveyard safely sleeping
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so dearly,
In her lonely, silent grave.
We often sit and think Of her,
When we are all alone
For memory Is the only thing
That grief can call its own.
Friends may think we soon forget her,
And our wounded hearts be healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed.

Property owners in Harper's Ferry
are circulating petition to their town
council with the object of postponing a
pavement making campaign launched
by the council a few weeks ago. The
council passed an order requiring all
property owners to lay cement side
walks in front of their premises, the
order being accompanied by notice that
unless the Improvement was made BY
the owner, the town authorities would
do the work, and hold lien on the
property thereby improved until the
cost of such Improvement is paid. At
the prevailing cost of labor, cement
and stone, the property owners saw an
embarrassing menace in the order, and
are taking measures to have the i'm
provement postponed until time when
the outlay for il would be less likely
to bring on bankruptcy.

THE very last prop that the liquor
interests depended upon was ruthless
ly knocked from under them last Mon
day, when the United States Supreme
Court rendered a decision declaring
that both the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead enforcement act are
constitutional. The opinion was I'M
animous, and so thoroughly upheld all
the prohibition legislation that there
seems absolutely no hope for any
further contest. A couple OF weeks
ago the court decided that the referen-
dunn laws Of the States could not af-
feet a constitutional amendment. Now
il makes the amendment an unques-
toned portion Of the Constitution and
finally declares that the Volstead act
prohibiting the sale OF liquor contain
ing more than one-half Of one per cen,
OF alcohol, is the law OF the land. No,
a single contention OF the liquor OF
brewery interests or OF Directing States
was upheld. The United States and
all its possessions are to be absolutely
dry il there is power in the govern
ment to uphold its own laws.
This decision is not only a grea,
victory for the cause Of temperance
a victory that will affect the whole
world, but il is high tribute TO Wayne
b. Wheeler, the head OF the legal de-
partment Of the Anti-Saloon League
All the temperance '""islation that he
has prepared has stood the tests of the
highest courts, and the assaults OF the
most astute lawyers that liquor money
could employ, including the great New
New York lawyer, Elihu Root. have
been unable to pick flaw in his work
All hail to Wayne Wheeler!
We congratulate all the world on the
final victory for morality and sobriety in
our own United States, for it means
that all the world will soon or late fol-
low our example. There will be bitter
disappointment for a time among the
thirsty ones and those who have made
fortunes from the liquor business. But
give prohibition fair trial for ten
years, and it will be most I'M
considerably blind individual who will
fail to see the good results of having
our country really dry.

FINAL reports show that !. Frank
marsh has been defeated by Geo. M.
Ford for the Republican nomination
for State Superintendent Of Schools in
west Virginia. There is more to this
than appears on the surface, for II
means a reputation of the policy of
the State Superintendent of Schools as
exemplihed during the past eight
years. Mr.. Shawkey, the retiring State
Superintendent, had gracefully cast
his mantle upon Mr.. Marsh, and the
latter was supposed TO have fallen heir
TO all the benefits of the office, of which
he has been an active and a useful
part. Un1er the present administra-
ton salaries have been boosted and
teachers have Teen given manv ad-
Vantages, while progressive methods
generally have been conceived and
fostered by Mr.. Shawkey and Mr..
Marsh. Ii was thought that this would
be heartily endorsed by the people
urged on by enthusiastic teachers, but
such seems not to have been the case.
Mr.. Ford has profited by the dis
satisfaction of those who think that
school expenses have been increased
out CT proportion to the benefits result
ing; that expensive high schools have
been established in hocks where there
was no real substantial demand; that
our school policy has been forcing
growth instead of awaiting natural ex-
pansion; and that though teachers
salaries have been boosted, there
seems to have Been no method by
which more efficient service could be
secured in return.
We shouldn't wonder il there Will
be a considerable change in the school
policy Of the incoming administration
for Mr.. Ford has ideas OF his own.

CONGRESS adjourned last Satur.
day, and the verdict of history will be
that II has been good deal OF a
failure so far as useful public service
has been concerned. There was not
one really big, outstanding man in
either house, and with every oppor-
tunity to enact constructive legislation
such as our country needs. the Re-
publican majority seemed helpless to
either conceive or. enact any import
ant measure. Worse than the negative
uselessness of the House was the
stupidity and viciousness Of the Sen
ate, which, having the opportunity
to make the United States the leader
in world thought and world influence,
deliberately brought our government
into contempt with the nations of the
earth, because of the petty hatred OF
Senators for the President and cheap
partisan politics.
Congress has made shameful
record by its sins Of omission.

AT this writing there is no certainty
as to who will be the nominee OF the
Republican national convention now
in session in Chicago. Senator Hiram
Johnson, who made such a spectacular
campaign before the convention seem,
to have spent himself. and he has little
chance TO win the prize. General
Wood is not likely to get the nomna-
ton, either. The revelation as 70
the enormous sum of money that he
spent in his preliminary campaign has
weakened him, and he would be a faint
cd candidate. Governor Loudon, of
Illinois, is favorite with manv of the
delegates, and Governor Sproul OF
Pennsylvania is camping in his stall as
willing dark horse. The people are
really for Hoover. and there is pow,
erful group in Chicago working for his
nomination, but the political leaders
are against him. They know very
we'll that they couldn't handle Hoover,
and they will not let him be nominated
If they can help it.
Senator Lodge is the chairman of the
convention and made the keynote
speech. 1t consisted mostly OF vicious
attacks upon President Wilson and the
League of Nations. and was an elabora-
ton of the Senator's narrow views upon
the subject as evidenced by his ac-
ton in the Senate the past year.
Predictions as to the nominee are
very risky this morning.

THE Republicans in national con-
vention assembled in Chicago have had
a great deal Of difficulty in formulating
their platform. They have no policy
upon which they can come anywhere
near uniting, and the only plank they
have been able to agree upon Is one
denouncing President Wilson.

WHEN an unselfish and pure

there is apt to be some question as TO
