He calls on the people to help him preserve law and order, and says he will exhaust the power, of his office to prevent lynchings. University and Its Branches. The governor discusses at length the affairs of the University and its branches. He wants a board of re gents for the University and wants the branch institutions to have their own trustees not under control of the University trustees. The gov ernor urges at length the importance of the agricultural colleges and the cause of education generally. He wants the normal school work im proved and extended, wants the ru ral schools improved, and wants a state board of education composed of trained educators, and he suggests the county school commissioners should, as far as possible, be trained educators. He closes his address with a strong appeal for the educa tion of the- white cl.i’d en of th? state to meet the responsibilities of life. “Nearly every white child in the state,” he says, “carries in his* veins the blood of a revolutionary he ro. He has the foundation on which to build a manhood unsurpassed in capacity and usefulness. We must not permit this ge m of greatness to be smo'hered by lack of opportuni ty. We must not only willingly, b t joyfully tax ourselves for this gre t work. May God help us to meet the responsibilities which are upon us.’’ SUMMARY NEWS. (Continued from Page Five.) viction. Don’t put the badge of dishonor on him by sending him to the penitentiary. Don’t let it go out to the world that a jury of Virginia gentlemen put the felon’s stripes on a Virginia gentleman.” Mr. Lee appealed strongly to the sympathy of the jury with both woids and tears. “Sweep from Virginia the chaste homes of the citizens and what re mains of the state? The purity and the dignity of our homes is the sweetest thing in life to Virginia. It is the gift of God. When any one invades our home, they sirike society and the body politic the deadliest blow. You all know how love for your wife and the smile of a loving daughter can bring out of your nature the best there is in it. “My heart and my mind tell me, gentlemen of the jury, how you feel. I believe that when the foreman asks you to hold up your hands if you believe the prisoner not guilty, every hand will go up and that your act will be according to your con scientious opinion. When Christ de parted this life, His last words were, ‘Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.’ ” After the verdict of acquittal was read, Judge Barksdale thanked the jurors foK their attendance upon the court at groat sacrifice. He declared that he believed the verdict was in accordance with the conscientious views of the jury.

The official documents containing the text of some of the propositions presented to the Peace Conference were distributed to the delegations under the seal of secrecy. The American proposition, present ed by Joseph H. Choate June 24, runs as follows: “The private property of all citizens of signatory powers, with the exception of con traband of war, shall be exempt on the high seas or e’sewhere from cap ture or seizure by the armed vessels or military forces of said p >wers. Nothing in this rule implies in any way the inviolability of vessels which will attempt to enter a port blockaded by the naval forces of said powers, nor of the cargo of said vessels. ’ ’ N. Y. Legislature Ends Session. With the parting prediction from Gov. Hughes that “good results to Jthe people” will result from the work of the legislature this year, the session ended. Both houses provided all the legislation demanded by the governor with the exception of a Inew plan of com pelled by the decision of the Court of Appeals that the pi esent political map of the state is unconstitutional. There is reason to believe the gov ernor will issue a call for a special session for the sole purpose of pass ing a constitutional apportionment. Cornell Wins.

It is said that all the railway cars on exhibition at the Jamestown Ex position are lighted by electricity, and that most of them are construct ed of steel. This is quite valuable endorsement of the position of the Railway Mail Association in advo cating steel and electricity. Suc cessive conventions have adopted strong resolutions favoring steel car construction, and the Chicago con vention took very positive action in the matter of resolutions concerning electric lighted postal cars. The res olution adopted deplored the use of gas as a menace to human life ai d the valuable property entrusted to the care of the Post Office Depart ment. Inadvertently the word “Pin tsch” crept into the resolu tion, when it was the intention of the framers that no specific kind of gas should be mentioned. This na turally aroused some concern in th 1 .minds of the manufacturers of Pintsch gas, who feared that an at tack was being made upon their proprietary rights. As a matter of fact, not one person in fifty realizes that there is gas o her than the Pintsch variety in 'use. But it was so clearly not the in tention of the framers of the reso lution referred to to criticise any es pecial make of gas, that, when rep resentatives of the Pintsch people called at the office of The Railway Post Otlice with a desire to learn if our organization intended to single them out for attack, we unhesitat ingly declared that, in our belief, it was only the broad term of all kinds of gas used for illuminating postal cars that was in the minds of those who prepared the resolution. It will be remembered that the res olution was the work of thiee mem bers of the Executive Committee ap pointed by President Barnes in March, 1906, for the purpose of fram ing a suitable statement for the fifteenth annual convention to con sider, and the statement so prepared was adopted by unanimous vote of the convention, and very naturally the Pintsch gas company felt that drastic action had been taken detri mental to their product. It is, therefore, no particular make of gas that we have in mind when we 'declare our firm conviction that elec tricity is a far safer illuminant for postal cars. No periodical possesses a clearer right to advocate the safest possible environment for railway postal clerks than does The Railway Post Office, and it would be recalci trant in its duty if it should shrink from calling things by their righi names. It is naturally gratifying to learn that what should be typical of the highest art of the car builder is in harmony with repeated statements in this paper favorable to electricity for postal cars, and if, as stated in the press dispatches, the cars on exhibi tion at Jamestown are all lighted in this way, it is unanswerable proof that it is the best way.—Railway Post Office. - —* * WANTED —Position as managing housekeeper for widower with small children.
