Historic Lies.

Two of the most famous lies relate
to the last hours Of Nelson. Everyone
knows that the real signal at Trafal-
gar which he ordered was "Nelson ex-
poets every man to do his duty" The
other lie is about the coat he wore
on his quarter deck. He Is reported
to have silenced the affectionate Inn
portunlty of his officers, entreatlng
him to conceal the stars on his breast,
by saying, "In honor I gained them,
and in honor l will die with them"
This Is the great style, but it Is I'M
true. DR.. Arnold heard the facts from
Sir Thomas Hardy. Nelson wore on
the day of battle the same coat which
he had worn FOR weeks, having the
order of the bath embroidered upea
It; and when his friend expressed
some apprehension of the badge, he
answered that he was aware Of the
danger, but that it was "too late then
to shift his coat" The fabricated
saying is magnificent: why destroy
it7

The South American Way

That this country has monopoly
on legislative wisdom is shown in an
interesting way by the drastic but
effective steps which are reported
from our sister Republic, Argentina,
in South America, as contemplated
for keeping down speculation in sug-
ar. Modelled as these republics are
on the great American charter, it
seems that we can yet profitably
take leaf from their book at times
IN dealing with the spectators and
profteers, if only we can find the
backbone to initiate them, says the
Charlottesville Daily Progress.
Large boards of sugar having
been discovered by Government
agents in Bucncs Aires, which were
alleged TO be controlled by sugar
spectators, the Argentine Congress
was asked for the passage Of law
to permit governmental appropria-
ton Of 100000 tons of supply. A
price of s cents in gold will be fixed
for this sugar, and it will be sold to
the public at cost. A bill has also
been bought in declaring sugar to
be public utility, that will also
contemplate the fixing of the price
hereafter to the buying public.
Thus, as we groan and struggle
under our impossible plan of bring
ing down the price of this essential
of life, the alert people of this thirty
ing and progressive Republic far to
the South takes matters into their
own hands, and summarily squelch
the scheming price-boosters with no
more ado than they would show in
g ing to a bull-fight.

KEY TO ANCIENT HISTORY
Greek Papyri Have Revealed Practl-
caIly All That Is Known OF
Greco-Roman World.

Greek papyri were documents for
ancient history which supplied a per.
sorial view of things. They described
classes not represented in history as
usually written and helped in the study
of popular psychology of the Greco
Roman Egypt, and by analogy, also,
to some extent the Greco-Roman
world.
The papyri Illustrated the history
Of administration, showing 1t In ac-
tual working, and not in theory. There
was not much in the papyri on mys-
terry cults, but there were interesting
religious documents, such as the hymn
to Isis. The papyri mostly illustrated
the popular attitude to religion, popu=
lar piety and impiety. They were also
useful for early Christianity, Egypt
being the native country Of monas-
ticism.
The economic decay Of the Roman
empire, popular education, and the
history Of the Greek language, were
also illustrated by papyri. The bor-
rowings of Christianity could be traced
from older paganism from the papyri,
and the Christian and pagan attitudes
could thus be contrasted.

EXPRESSED WILL )E PEOPLE
aFirst American Constitution" Grew
Out of Feeling Of Dissatisfac-
ton With Conditions.

The term "First American Consti-
tuition" is frequently applied by
writers to what is better known his
toricaIly as the Fundamental Orders
Of Connecticut" Many people In
Massachusetts having become dissatis'
fed with law that none but church
members should vote or hold office,
at length determined to form other
settlements. Other town. organiza-
tons migrated almost bodily from
Massachusetts to what was then the
wilderness. These were Newton,
Watertown and Dorchester, which had
their names changed, respectively, to
Hartford, Wethersfeld and Windsor.
Along with them went their govern
ing organizations and a general court
for the three towns was afterward
formed.
Jan. Ia, 1889, this little community
formed the first written American
Constitution at Hartford. This Con-
stitution springs directly from the
will of, the people, and neither Eng
lish king nor parliament, nor Colonial
council, nor governor had anything to
do with it. The orders provided for
two general representative assemblies
each year, composed of delegates
from each town, one for the election
of governor and magistrates, the other
for making the laws. These funda-
mental orders as. they were called,
were the beginnings Of democratic
government in America.

Recommends Bond Issue

Richmond Va, Aug. 26-1f the
State is enabled to issue bonds for
road building, Virginia can have an
adequate system of improved high
ways in or six years, according to
statement made here by State High
way Commissioner George P. Cole
man. Under the present plan of
road building through State appro-
priation and Federal aid, it will re-
quire fifteen or sixteen years to ac
complish this, Mr.. Coleman thinks.
Mr.. Coleman has pointed out in adj
dresses made recently that it will be
possible to raise as much as $4,000
900 by a State bond issue without
increasing the tax rate. He esti-
mates that the bonds can be retired
in nineteen years and that this can
&c done witout burdening the State
financially.
Amendment of the State constitu-
ton to permit the commonwealth to
issue bonds for road work will go to
4 vote of the people on November g.
Before that time, residents in the rur-
al districts and towns, as well as in
| the cities, will have an opportunity
to see what great need exists in
Virginia for good roads through the
exhibition of a fve-reel motion pic
ture, "Virginia's New Hour" under
the auspices of the Virginia Good
Roads Association.
This picture will be shown in
school-houses and halls in every coun
ty in the State. Through it, every
Virginian will be made familiar with
the poor roads in the Old Dominion
at the present time and will be shown
the benefits which would result from
an adequate highway system. V. D.
L. Robinson, executive secretary of
the association, is now preparing an
itinerary for the picture that will
give it the widest possible distribu-
ton.
