CAPSIzlNC OF
 VIRGINIA "
 IS TOLD HERE
Survivors of Wrecked Yes sel Arrive Aboard
 Northland

First details of the capsizing of the motorship Virginia " in Lis ianski Strait last week were told here last night with the arrival of the NoIthland from Port Althorp where the latter vessel had taken aboard the five members of the Vir- ginia's crew.
 An exciting story of a narrow es- cape from drowning was related by Harley Rutherford, engineer of the Virginia.
 We had just started out into the open sea- Rutherford said, when heavy seas combined with the large load of lumber which we were car 1ylng, caused trouble. Capt. J. l.. Hanson put her pack and we at tempted to make beach.
 Vessel Fills
 But the vessel started to fill with water We kept the engine running until the boat was half filled with water. Then it stopped. We were not on beach, so dropped an anchor on the reef near the Porcu- pine Island light.
 We were lucky to have turned back when we did, as things might have gone badly if we had capsized in the open ocean,"
 Rutherford went on to tell how the crew-Capt. Hanson; Ruther- ford; Dan Stanworth, second engin- eer; Ei Soberg, mate; and Clark Odekirk, cook-had boarded a skiff and pulled away from the wreck.
 They were picked up two hours

The HISTORIANS VIEW
server.

That the lost liberties of the world as represent
ed by the present rise of dictators among the ma
tions, are not permanently lost, and that the die
tator is but passing phase of the progress of the
nations is the opinion of Dr. Ellis Paxon Oberholt-
zer Philadelphia historian
We progressing through one of the periodic
painful cycles which seems to be inherent in human
nature.
And DR.. Oberholtzer thinks we have brought this
particular phase upon us-of course we bring all
these misfortuneS upon ourselves-by our habit of
looking for miracles.
Being unable to accomplish anv miracles bv our
own word of mouth or wave of the hand. we turn
to dictators, who are ever ready to promise that
everything needful shall be brought about in
stanter.
That Is Just about how it has come about.
The nations apparently thought everything was
going to be fixed up nicely for sort of preview
millennium by the mere signing of treaties and the
setting up of Republican governments
But it didn't work out.
And when we discover that our dictators are not
going to make it work out any better, the world
will shake itself vigorously and as Dr. Oberholtzer
says 1.-The dictators will go flying off like drops of
water off the coat of an energetic spaniel"
That is the historians view And because it is
the view of experience and of human nature we
may look upon it almost prophecy.
1t may need pretty vigorous shaking and the
operation may be quite disagreeable to the world
in general but very likely that is what will happen.
1t is inconceivable that progress once begun
and there is real progress only in practical democ
racy-will get more than a temporary setback

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
INEIDELITY

Infdety used to be the besetting sin OF Amerl-
can intellectually.
1t marked the mental attitude of the country
during the century following the Revolutionary
war.
Because of the splendid help given the country
by the French government in that episode, every
thing that was Frenchy became fad and to dis
believe in a God Frenchy.
Inidelity went then to its hoodtide.
College students were almost universally unbe-
LEVERS The thinking classes rdiculed Christianity
as unworthy of thinking President Dwight
of Yale University said that, when he was stu
dent in that institution, the Christian students
could be counted on the fingers of one hand, and
that for four years there was but one. At Bowdoin
College in 1907 only one student was willing to
acknowledge himself Christian.
Bishop Meade of Virginia, writing of 1911 and
earlier, said 'Infdeity was rife in the state, and
the college of William and Mary hotbed OF
French ideas in religion and politics. Then and for
many years after, in every educated young man
of Virginia whom I met, expected to find skep-
tic, if not an avowed unbelieyer."
President Ashbel Green, of Princeton College
from 1879 to 1882, said 81 was the only professor
of religion in the student body, and there were
only five six who did not profane language
in common conversation. AS late as 1914 only II
out of 1O5 students at Harvard were church men-
bers. Chancellor Kent, who graduated from Yale
and was for many years instructor in Columbia
College, said, in my younger days there were very
few professional men who were not nides."
There's not so much of this any more

believing in God; it is in trying to get along

from the thought Of a ceremonial
marriage; but they should go
through with it-for their own
sakes, and for the sake of a
stronger social order.
The elopement is usually done
in haste; and is frequently re-
pented at leisure. 1t lacks beauty
and solemnity. The contracting
parties are likely to be acting or
impulse, born Of temporary in
f tuatiOn or seX-meSmerism.
Sometimes they are under the in
hucncc Of alcohol. Many an elop-
ing couple never would have mar
ried had they waited until the
next day to think it over. AS |
think of the married people l
know and know about, l am i'm
pressed that the rate of matri-
monial mortality is highest among
the clippers. Eloping may be TO
mantle, but it is not practicable.
Marriage to be successful must
be practicable.
Often couples elope to thwart
the wishes Of parents and rela-
tives. And many an emotion-stir-
ring tale has been written around
the beautiful girl whose hard
boiled papa blue-penciled her
sweetheart, and insisted she mar
ny a man she did not love. Yet
the fact remains that the number
of matrimonial fiops would be
substantially decreased if young
folks would give more heed to the
advice of their parents in select
ing their mates. The old custom
of bctrothals being arranged by
parents had its good points.

is brewing in the American Bar
Association.
Many months ago, a committee
was appointed TO look into what
present-4dy legislation is doing to
the Constitution. This committee
was to have made report to the
convention of the bar association
this summer. But, due to dis
agreement among committee
members-not so much on their
opinions as to constitutionalitv of
New Deal legislative acts and
methods, as on the manner of ex-
pressing those opinions the re-
port was not made.
The committee was given more
time. So it is now to report Nov
to the executive committee and
the general council of the associa.
ton, which will consider the report
this winter.
Then, next August, the report
will be considered at the a;socia-
TONS annual meeting.
Oddly enough, that is lust the
heat not only of summer, but of
the presidential campaign of 1886
and while, of course, the report
will be judicial and non-partisan
it will certainly fall at a time
when many will see it as a cam
paign document.

EOR that reason I believe that
mothers should not try to protect
their daughters from knowledge OF
the world they live in.
Such knowledge is protection. 1t
fits the girl to take care Of herself.
1t makes her look with appraising
eyes at men because she knows how
often they are bad, and weigh their
words, because she knows how often
they are lies. So If I had daughter
would not try to keep her ignorant
of the world. I would try to make her
wise to it.
But if the girl Of yesterday was pro-
tected too much, the girl of today is
not protected enough No young girl
can possibly have the worldly wisdom
that would enable her to protect her
self against the perils that she encoun-
ters every hour. Her very ignorance
makes her run foolhardy risks that
only too often wreck her life before it
has fairly begun. And it is her par
entS' duty to guard her against these
mistakes Of youthful folly and tgno-
rance. DOROTHY DIX.
