TODAY'S
THOUGHT
SLANDERING VIRGINIA

Virginia is receiving adj
vice from other states quite
freely in her present guber-
material campaign. But like
all gratuitous counsel it is
70. the most part worth
less. First comes the presl-
dent Of the United States,
and so far descends from the
lofty duties of his office, as to
write a letter to the publ
city director of a local Re-
publican Club, and complain
of the small vote in the Vir-
ginia state elections. He ex-
patiates on the duty of the
citizen to vote, and laments
the dereliction Of Virginians
in this direction. President
Harding has evidently over
looked the short conlings OF
the electorate of his own
state. With a beam in his
own eye he sees only the
mote in his neighbours. Can
he be ignorant Of the fact
that in 1920, the year of his
own election, no fewer than
856, 1873 white voters in Ohio
failed to exercise their fran
chise? Nearly a million men
and women did not 60 to the
polls at all. It would seem
that Ohio is likewise in need
of missionary work IN re-
forming the electorate, and
this work, not unlike charity,
should by all means begin at
home.
And now comes ex-senator
Marion Butler, from North
Carolina, and for over an
hour stands before an Alex
andria audience, and bella
bors and abuses Virginia,
calls her harsh names, and
reviles her manhood and Wo-
manhood. Nor is this all!
The scurvier the abuse, the
more biting the epithet-the
louder the applause, the
more raucous the laughter!
Be it remembered, these
were Virginia Republicans.
Marion Butler, if we re-
member rightly, was hoisted
into the United States Sen
ate on a populistic wave that
was sweeping over the coun-
try at that particular time.
Promised laws that would
+ nedy all existing evils,
f IN whooping-cough to low
prices for Corn. the farmers
in many states, thoroughly
disguised with Republican
misrule, voted blindly for
anything that promised a
change. In some instances,
like that Of Senator Marion
Butler, for example, they
got their change-but found
it for the worse instead Of
better. Nor were they de-
luded a second time.
Senator Butler harped
mainly on two strings the
other night, in Alexandria:
illiteracy in Virginia, and
the small vote of the electo-
rate.
Let us take the voting
question first. North Caro-

less sinner in this very lden-
tical matter. In 1920, she
had 356,136 white voters who
did not deem it a duty to go
to the polls. Let Mr.. Butler
attend to the knitting in his
own state before he goes on
a stump-speaking tour to re-
form his neighbors!
The fact is, and both Mr..
Harding and MI. Butler
should know it, and probably
do know it, this apparent
lack of interest in the cleo
toral franchise is a national
failing, prevalent in every
state in the union. Strong
efforts are being made in
Virginia, and many other
states to remedy this, and as
the years go on, doubtless
the people will be aroused to
the danger Of lax voting or
the failure to vote at all!
The Virginia Association for
the Common Good, a body
of public-spirited citizens
with headquarters at Rich
mond, is doing admirable
work in this direction, and
the Gazette had an editorial
not long since commenting
on their timely efforts.
To say that the paucity of
vote in Virginia is due to the
Democratic Party, is as silly
and absurd as it is utterly
groundless.
Now for illiteracy in Vir-
ginia, which concerns Mr..
Butler so deeply, and causes
him to weep copious tears
and raise his hands to high
heaven in strenuous and
prayerful utterance.
Illiteracy all over the
South is greater than in the
northern and western states;
even illiteracy among the
whites. But when it is re-
membered that the South
staggered under a burden
until well into the eighties,
far greater than the Ger
mans and their allies are
now enduring, her progress
is little short Of amazing,
and we venture to say no
other people under the sun
would have recuperated Sc
quickly, or fought with such
indomitable will and logged
perseve rance. We go
further, and say that the
next fifty years will see her
in the lead in many things,
education foremost among
them. This, too, because
she has the old Anglo-SaNon
strain purest and least adul-
tefaCeQ. Inc race IIldI IlISU

Virginia is as alert to educa-

the union today. The state

Education is but a re-hash
of the Democratic State

and bodily.
