of our great leaf dealers would come on
our market and do for Richmond what
they are doing for other markets.
The farmers throughout the country say
we can and ought to have a big loose

In the task and duties and the abiding
honor OF governing our common country
or perpetuating its freedom. or promot-
Ing is PROSPERITY. Our youth must have
the came educational training az the
youth OF the other parts OF the country
to ct them for leadership. a leadership
based upon the broadcast, most eniighten-
ed American statesmanship and in this
training Washington and Lee University
Is called upon TO take no minor part
among the schools OF the South OF our
beloved country"
This Is all in lire with what Mr.. Wilson
said in his inaugural address at Wash
ington and Lee University. That adj
dress was quoted far and wide and was
highly commended by the press OF the
country. The subject is one Of so great
Importance TO tho South that It cannot
be too often referred 10. Tho hope Of
the South is in an educated citizenship
that shall vote intelllgently upon all ques-
tions of public concern. The voters
must know what Is necessary to pro-
tcct their liberties, to insure an economi-
cal government and TO promote the
general welfare Of the nation. Then in
order TO carry out their wishes, they
must elect honest statesmen who are
not only willing but who by careful pre-
marathon and training are competent TO
manage the affairs Of State in accordance
with the expressed will Of the people.
Thus will American manhood be main
tanned and the people will direct their
own affairs rather than IN blind partisan
ship follow the lead of those whose chief
concern Is to hold Office and draw
salary.
