Had II been any one else, Fairchlld

joined the parade. AS 1t was, he

about in their happiness, calling to
him the news that he did not want to

thing for Ohadi; II meant that mining
would boom now, that soon the hills
and that the little town would blossom
as result Of possessing one OF the
rich silver mines of the state.
Fairchild felt cheap. He felt de-
feated. He felt small and mean not
to be able to join the celebration.
| Squint and Maurice Rodaine possessed
the Silver Queen; that they, Of all
persons, should be the fortunate ones

should they, of every one In Ohadi, be
the lucky men to find a silver bonanza,
that they might flaunt It before him,

him. He saw now that his enemies
were more powerful than ever. And
for moment he almost wished that
he had yielded down there In Denver,
that he had not given the ultimatum to
the greasy Barnham, that he had ac-
cepted the offer made hlm-and gone
on, out of the fight forever.

National Educational
Association

Wash, D. c., May 20, 1922. Special
to the Gazette-Dr. W. G. Cove, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Teachers of England and Wales, will
make a special trip to America to be
present at the siXtieth annual meet
ing of the National Education Asso-
citation at Boston, Massachusetts, July
, to 8, according to a statement given
out at headquarters of the National
Education association here today. DR..
Cove is we'll known because of his
leadership in the fight for the Fisher
Education Bill in 1918. This Bill may
be called the Magma Charta of free
public education in England. Recently
when enormous reductions in the
amounts spent for public education in
England were proposed in the
famous Geddes Report, it was
DR. Cove and his organi-
aztion of over 10000 teachers
that awakened the public to the ne
cessity for maintaining an adequate
school system as the only sound basis
of National well-being and prosper
ity.

and the Democratic. Awakening" 1t
will emphasize the connection between
the great democratic impulse that
has followed the war and the intensi-
fled interest in every phase of educa-
tional endeavor, which is evident not
only in America but throughout the
world.
Among those who will address the
sessions of the Association are: Mrs.
Thomas G. Winter, president of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs;
Honorable Alvin NJ. Owsley, Nation
al Director of the Americanism Com
mission of the American Legion; Mrs.
Maud Wood Park, President of the
National League of Women Voters;
Mr.. Frederick j. Libby, Secretary OF
the National Council for the Reduc-
ton of Armaments, Honorable Chan
ming H. Cox, Governor Of Massachu-
sets, who will welcome the teachers
to Boston and New England; and
leading educators from every section
of the United States.

sian people themselves that their
Soviet Government has made them
an Ishmael among nations. That
they must first get rid OF this can

hope to be received among the

Der OF a political and economic fra

With a country OF the population

justify outside interference to
save Russia to herself and the

Lloyd George was beSet by
clamorous millions in England to
treat with Russia to provide en-
ployment for idle hands and stag
nant machinery at home. Under
this pressure, what other alterna-
tive was left, save to make the at
tempt. This he did, and satisfied
his own people and Europe and
Russia that it was impossible with
a Soviet Government. As we
predicted the other day, Russia
will probably, herself, overtWn
her anarchistic regime. The Ge-
noa Conference has probably
awakened the 95 per cent OF her
people that Lloyd George says are
either indifferent to this system
or hostile to it" But if Russia
does not do it. then civilization
must. The world is not big enough
to hold the two together. One
must succumb; and no one people
are as important to the world as

SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Richmond, May 29.-Members OF
both Houses OF the General Assembly
who supported the bond issues Tor
State highway construction will take
the stump in the interest Of the spe-
clal SESSION and the passage OF the
bond issue Among the speakers
VINO have accepted invitations to ad-
dress mass meetings OF citizens IN
various parts of the State are Sena-
tors q. Walter Mapp, of Accomac, Z.
OConor Goodrich, OIL Fredericksburg,
julien Gum, of Henrlco ana James
e.. Cannon, Of Richmond City. The
list of speakers from among the
House membership will be announ-
ced later. In addition to the men,
bers of the House, prominent cltl-
zens who are interested in the con-
struction of the State highway sys-
TEN have also volunteered their SER
vices to speak in behalf of the bond
issue and the special session.
Further emphasis Of the need to go
ahead with State highway construc-
ton in Virginia if the State keeps
pace with neighboring states, is
the progress which is being made IN
North Carolina, which is attracting
attention all over the United States.
The program for 1922 for North Car
DINA provides for the construction of
1000 miles of road in that State
this year. Announcement was made
Saturday of the sale of the second
lot Of bonds in North Carolina
amounting to $6,O00,000. These bonds
bearing 4 ID per cent were sold at
premium. An option was given
the purchasers Of the bonds to buy
100000 additional at the same
price At the close Of 1921, the
State of North Carolina sold $1,000
900 bonds bearing interest at five
per cent AtHa premium. The differ
ence in interest rate bears out the
statement of the advocates of bonds
in Virginia that bonds can be sold
bearing 4 1-2 per cent. AS an eX-
ample of the interest which is being
taken in the work being done in
North Carolina, headed by Colonel
w. d. Uhler, of Harrisburg, chief
state highway engineer of Pennsyl
vania, passed through Virginia Sat
urday en- route to North Carolina,
to make an inspection of the work
being done there. While in Rich
mond, Col. Uhler stated that the
State Highway Department of Penn
sylvania let to contract in 1921 $40,-

eclipsing all previous records for
road building in the United States.

II has been officially admitted,
that the War Department will con-
tinue its experimentation In the
manufacture OF poison gases, regard
less of the treaties growing out OF
the Conference for the LlmltatloS
of Armaments.
The Government arsenal at Edge
wood, Maryland, will be maintained
as a laboratory experiment station
and the best talent of the country
will be utilized for the purpose OF
developing new ideas IN chemical
warfare, and in poison gasses, al
though their manufacture in guam
tity will be dispensed with.
This decision, it is explained, is
not based upon the delay in other
countries in ratifying the treaties
negotiated at the Washington con-
ference, as it is assumed these
treaties will be ratified in time.
Although the United States IS
committed to the idea that the use
of poison gasses in warfare should
be eliminated, it feels that it cannot
be done until all the Governments
enter into an agreement to this eff
feet and earnestly keep the pact.
The Covenant is committed to
the policy of discouraging the use
of poison gases in warfare, having
destroyed huge supplies which We're
on hand at the close of the war,
keeping only enough for experiment
tai purposes, but until the other ma
tions who are parties to the treaties

Little Lord Eauntleroy

When Fanny Hodgson Burnett
wrote, now these many years ago, her
story of the transplanting of little
American boy to his ancestral home
in England, she created character
that was destined to an immortal ca
reer in fiction. Charming as is the
story, however, told in the tender and
glowing words of genius, it is sur
passed in its delineation on the
screen by Mary Pickford and her re-
markable company of actors. She
would seem to have been born for
the part of the little American hero,
living in poverty, among the humblest
of friends, but imbibing that spirit of
freedom and independence that is in
the very air itself and an integral part
of the life of every American. Ply
sically, she makes the pictured ideal
that dwells in ones mind as he reads
the fascinating pages Of Mrs. Bur
nett'S novel. The grandson of an
English Earl heir to the title and es-
tates, the pride of race, the impalpa-
bic air of breeding, the aristocratic
carriage, the easy and graceful de-
portment-are all displayed with in
describable alluremenr in Mary Pick
ford'S little nobleman. There is a
delicacy of touch in her treatment of
the character that could only come
from true genius. Every gesture,
every movement, every play and
change of feature in her mobile coun-
tenance, is eloquence itself. You do
not need the spoken or the written
word. What she thinks, why she acts,
is by the strangest of telepathic COM
munication flashed to your own con-
sciousness-so marvellous is her pow
err of expression by limb and fea
ture. This is of the very essence Of the
screen drama, and of its highest art:
when thought and emotion do not need
the hating and imperfect medium of
speech for converse with another.
We seem to catch glimpses in this
wonderful drama of the films as to
possibilities yet undreamed of in its
development. For instance, we have
Mary Pickford playing the bOyish
hero, and enacting with melting ten
derneSS the devoted mother-who is
willing to give up her own happiness
and all her future, for the sake of the
ldolized darling of her affections. The
two characters are often side by side
in the picture, conversing, laughing,
sometimes weeping-yet one and the
same person enacting both. The re-
semblance, as is natural, is startling
the son is the very image of his
mother.
The story, of course, is fascinating.
Mrs. Burnett never wrote a dull page
in her life. But its transfer to the
screen, as we have said, renders it still
more so. The ancient Tudor castle,
the home of a hundred earls, is per-
feet, architecturally. Its interiors,
perfect, decoratively. The old Earl
has the proper hawks-beak, dropping
moustache, and general cast of coun-
tenance, that belong to descendant
of the old Morse vikings from the days
when they harried and plundered and
ravished and burned. His behavior
is to the manner born. Hobbs, the

GAZETTE CONFIRMED

For some months the Gazette
has devoted ali occasional editorial
to the late Genoa Conference. 1t
has taken the position that an eco
nomic understanding with Russia
was out OF the question, since all
economic conventions between
people were based OF necessity on
the acceptance, tacit or expressed,
OF certain organic political prlncl-
bles. 1t has further laid down the
poStulate that the BolSheyiki Gov
ernment of Russia could not be a
party to any economic understand
ing among nations, because OF the
fundamental difference III theories
of government as we'll as in eco
nomic theories.
The Washington Post yesterday
published an extract from a letter
written to d friend III Washington
by the late Viscount Bryce-One
OF the deepest thinkers OF the day
which confirms the Gazette 5
contentious all along the line. The
words Of Lord Bryce are as fol-
lows: Il agree with you in Won
dering at the tolerance extended
10 bolshevism by otherwise Sensi-
bic people, both in America and
in England. The BolShevists are
d set OF blood-thirsty rufians,
worse than the worst men OF the
French Revolution. Many people
here are taken in by their empty
professions of a desire to improve
the werld. Is this 50 in America !:
Personally | think the allies ought
never to have treated or appeared
TO treat with the BolShevistS at
all. "
The Post, by the way, has
yeered completely around from
its first position, and is now more
in line with what the Gazette has
Contended all along. But it still
