THE DEFEATED ONES
To the candidates who were
defeated in the voting yesterday
we desire to extend our good
wishes. If you ran a clean race
and did nothing of which you
might be ashamed you were successful.
Probably you will be
happier in a few months than if
you had been elected and thrust
into a position of great responsibility
where a wrong step or
careless act might have brought
sorrow. Remember that all
could not be elected.
The winners have the offices
for which they labored, and
therefore no not need congratulations.
A TIGHT RACE
The race for sheriff of Chesterfield
county has been the
most interesting of anv race for
a local office in many years.
So far as we are informed it has
been conducted upon a high
plane. The two candidates
have been on splendid terms and
the speeches during the cam
paign were humorous and friendly.
The two men have been
good friends for years, and they
are still friends. The winner
has the office, and the good will
of the defeated man.
This does not imply that the
candidates for other offices are
not gentlemen, or that they did
not conduct the campaign upon
a high plane. The fact that
there was so much interest manifested
in the sheriff's race
brought forth the above remarks.

r INVESTIGATE THE GOVERNMENT
Under the above headline the
Saturday Evening Post has the
following to say of the plan for
investigating the United States
government:
"Announcement of the Institute
for Government Research
constitutes the most cheering
news of a political nature we
have heard lately. The Institute,
we hear, will be financed
largely "by Rockefeller interests/*
which doubtless means
that it will have ample funds for
its purpose. It will be conducted
and assisted by men whose
reputations give high promise of
disinterested, intelligent service.
n
us purpose is a morougn, continuous,
helpful investigation of
the Federal Government.
"We have several times expressed
the opinion that Mr.
Rockefeller, who devotes many
millions to investigating various
things, could not possibly do
better with his money than endow
an institution to examine
the public concern at Washington.
There have been a number
ot merely incidental investigations
that have created a pre
sumption of enormous waste
and inefficiency. We have had
each political party charging the
other party with scandalous
misuse of public funds.
"We cannot reasonably expect
to know the truth about the Federal
Government until some permanent
body, independent, disinterested,
entirely detached
from politics, and ablv rnnHnrl.
ed, undertakes a survey ot it. If
this Institute lives up to its opportunities
it will certainly be
one of the most useful manifestations
of philanthropy in our
time.
"Apparently Washington rather
resents it. That was to be expected.
But Washington s > ob
viously needs it that its resentment
will count for nothing."

Chesterfield

Little Johann lived at one end
of the town and his grandfather
at the other. One day hi3 grandfather
died.
A stranger passing down the
street noticed little Johann playing
in the garden quite as if
nothing had happened. Rather
shocked at the lad's conduct, he
stopped and said: "lohann, your
grandfather is dead."
The little fellow looked up.
4I know it,' he said, as he resumed
his play. 'I've cried.' "

The Sneak Up and Died
There was a woman about 1
midway of the car who was
dressed in widow's weeds and *
ler mourning: looked so fresh 1
that any one could argue that 1
>he had but lately laid her husband
away to rest. i
By and by a passenger, whose
white choker and sleek cut proved
his profession, felt it his duty J
to go over to her, a Bible in his 1
aand, and as he sat down beside i
tier, he said: 1 <
"Madam, I see vou have met 1
with a loss?" '
"Have I?" she replied.
"Your Husband has been laid 1
away." ]
Yes. I trust that he died hap i
py and in faith?" |
