THE ENQUIRER.
RICHMOND, VA.
Monday Morning, March l6, 1916.

We are glad that our article of last Tuesday
has exerted beneficial tendency towards re-
lieving the mind of the New York Express from
tall anxiety about war with England" we
are pleased that our humble efforts have sue
ceeded in satisfying such an uncompfonisihs
Wing journal, that its denuncialions OF MIR. FOX
for base and selfish intention OF getting up
war 10 secure his polical ends, are utterly win
out foundation. The Wing press, and none OF
them with more violence than the Express, have
heaped upon the Presidents head unmeasuTeo
abuse, because, as they charged, he was for wan
tonly involving the nation in war, 10 gam re-
election. This we have ever denied. We nave
constantly argued that the President was IN
favor Of peace-that The notice was peace
measure and should therefore be adopted
The Express, then, is wrong in alleging mat
the Enquirer has changed lis note OF Late
We occupy precisely the same ground as at The
first Ii is the Express that seems 10 have chang
ed its note OF "war Tor Presidential objects" 10
confession that Mr. Polk is mol DESTROYS, reckless
ly and selishly, TO break up pacific relations with
England.
We must here correct an impression which
the Express endeavors 10 produce, by saying that
the Enquirer "rehec;s the opinions OF the Wash
inglon Union, without its responsibilities, and IS
indeed The son speaking for the father" The y.
Y. Journal Of Commerce makes the same init
nation. 1t is proper then, that we should say
once for all, that the Union is in no wise respon-
sib!e for our opinions They are The free ex-
preston Of our own views without being al all
Influenced by any one in Washington, or any
where else. On political questions, we never
receive information or advice from the Editor Of
the Union. What We have said, we have spoken
upon our own judgment, made up from all The
facts in possession Of the public, and no one but
ourselves is answerable for them, be they right
or be they wrong. We are satisfied, however
that whatever we have said meets with The sane
lion Of the Republican party Of Virginia.
