be a worthy successor in

Alexandria has a special

ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY

We acknowledge receipt
of number One, volume One,
of "The Last Lap" published
by the students of our High
School. 1t is not so long ago
that these ambitious young
ladies and gentlemen were
reposing in that first lap
which we ali remember so
we'll and cherish so tenderly
through life. The "Last
lap might refer, we take it,
to the lap Of another Alma
Mater, provided by a kind
~ paternal government, and
which they are likewise soon
to leave forever.
But probably the name is
taken from racing parlance
and means that many Of
them are on the last lap of a
race for an education that
shall equip them for the
sterner duties Of life.
This being true, let our
Young friends remember
that the race is not always
to the swift nor the battle
to the strong-and that
character is the one indis-
pensable adjunct Of an edu-
cation.

WOMEN ON SCHOOL BOARD

place next Tuesday: October

that a woman might offer
for one of the vacancies, but
SO far no name has been pre-
sented. The probability is
that the four retiring mem
bers will be candidates to

We have no word to say
against any OF them, but on
general principles we want
to see one or more women
on this important body.
Education is peculiarly a
province belonging to wo-
men, and they should by all
means have a voice in its adj
ministration. We must con-
fess our disappointment

CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT

CHIEF JUSTICE lAFl
William Howard T a I t,
twenty-seventh president OF
the United States, has just
been sworn in as Chief JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court.
Judge Taft is a figure
unique in American history
Although of opposite politi-
cal faith, we would call him,
unhesitatingly, III e best
loved man in public life to-
day. We would go just as
far in saying that the mil
lions of our country coulG
unite on no one other man to
whom they would pay the
same tribute of respect.
People of all political
faiths love him for his cheer
full optimism, for his stain
less private life, for his m
tense Americanism. They
resnect him for his unSur-
passed intellectual endoW-
ment, for his clear vision,
for his safe and sane outlook
on all the problems that con-
front the nation today.
His career is one Of the
strongest evidences that this
Republic is born to endure
through the Ages. 1t is per
'haps the best argument thus
far written in history, in be-
half of a government of the
people, by the people, for the
people. 1t proves that a Ma
ton such as ours may love g
man, may admire and re-
spect him, and still vote
against him, without di-
minution of either. 1t is a
living witness that the great
American electorate, when
aroused, will cast it's ballot
only according to the die
tates of it's reason; that it is
to be swayed neither by par
TALLY nor prejudice.
The very virtues OF
Judge Taft have been his
political shortcomings. Had
h been gifted as a politician
h might have had two
terms in the White House.
But it is a question if he
would have retained his high
position in the hearts Of his
fellow-citizens.
AS Chief Justice, the ap-
pointment of William How
ard Taft has the hearty ap-
proval of the entire coun-
try. His temperament is
essentially judicial. His de-
cisions may be relied upon
implicitly to follow both the
spirit and the letter Of the
law. It is in the construction
and Interpretation of the
Constitution of the United
States, that great human
document Of which Glad
stone said, ut is the most
wonderful work ever struck
off at a given time by the
brain and purpose Of man"
that Judge Taft will find
his main usefulness to the
people. Chief Justice Mar,
shall did more to shape the
political trend of our gov
eminent by his labors in the
rn,,on dirontinn than any

Dawes Puts Nation
In Trucking Game

Washington, Oct. 22.-Directo
OF the Budget Dawes, of HELL
and-Maria" fame, is still trying to
plug up the gaps through which
the taxpayers money leaks un-
necessarily. His latest move puts
"Uncle Sam" in the trucking busi-
ness, ordering all governments to
have any necessary hauling done
by government trucks, regardless
of the rule of absolute, fixed as
signments of motor vehicles to
certain departments.
1t has been a general. practice
among the various departments to
receive outside bids for haulinp,
if the available motor equipment
assigned to the specific depart
ment is in use, regardless of the
fact that another departments
motor vehicles were idle. The
recent order of General Dawes Is
expected to eliminate this waste.
The order followed a recent in
cident wherein a government de-
partment here advertised for bids
to move one of its bureaus when
there was available motor equip
ment In other departments to
carry out this service. The bids
were recalled and the move car
ried out by calling in assistance
from other departments whose as
signed motor transportation was
idle. Approximately $4,000 was
saved the general government in
this instance.
