Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-08-11

Col. Lamb says the Virginian-Pilot is
trying to destroy the coal business.
The Nirginian Pilot is trying to keep
the mouth of the harbor open and force
the Norfolk and Western to build two
short piers and dredgc out for it's ships,
instead OF running one long pier way
out to the channel and obstruct navi-
cation. ana iniure our harbor.
That is all there is about It, The
Norfolk and Western has plenty of
water front and could get all the room
it wanted for pier purposes, having
only to crpcnd G fc,o more dollars in drcdg-
ing. The simple fact is nothing more nor
less than an effort on the part of the
Norfolk and Western to save expense
OF dredging and of building two short
piers instead of the long one. He knows
that the Norfolk and Western, in order
TO save this expenditure. is willing to
contract the harbor facilities OF this
Port.

STEVENSON AS A LAMPAIGNER.

Hon. Adlni r. Stevenson's speech OF
acceptance was naturally overshadowed
by Mr.. Bryan's. the latter being every
where regarded as the keynote of the
campaign. and read with corresponding
interest. Nevertheless, Mr.. Stcvenson's
speech shows that the judgment OF the
Kansas City Convention, that he would
make a good, safe and effective cam
paigner, WAS not ill-adviscd. He says
things and says them trenchantly. AS
an example of the Vice Presidential
candidates ability to hit off situation
we submit the following:
"Why. this Republican party is not
willing to take the people into its conf
dence on II single question now before
the American public. 1t claims credit
for everything that happens for it's aid,
and rejects responsibility for every
thing wrong in the country. 1t claims
credit for large crops. 1t has claimed
credit for the discovery of gold in
Alaska; 1t has claimed credit for the
famine III India: It has claimed
credit for the activity in bust
ness. which comes from mort
gaging the future and spending
the money. II has claimed credit for
llllliSS LOT NiilCii IL IL llbL responsible,
and vet it dares not assume the respon-
siblity for those things which it has
brought upon the American people
But I repeat, that in this campaign ii
will be on the defensive on every Ques-
ton. and ii will run from one issue to
the other. and not be willing to stand
and abide judgment on any"
There has been no better snapshot
made of the Republican party than
this. 1t is absolutely true TO the life
The Republican party has had phc-
nomenal run of luck in matters for
which it was in nowisc responsible. and
it complacently appropriates credit for
all that was fortuitous 1t has Wobhled
and Numbered in every matter of Ad-
ministration ut home and abroad, and
it seeks to lay the whole blame upon
the broad shoulders OF circumstances.
= The whole American people united as
one man and drove Spain ont of the
| Western hemisphere. The Republican
party claims full credit for the victory.
The administrative details of clothing,
feeding, cquippinS ana Transporting the
| troops, for which Republican officials
were responsible. were bunglcd to an
extent that was criminal; but Rcpub-
leans blandly set the whole down to a
state OF unpreparedness for war AS a
result of the war Spain's colonies fen
to the United states. For this the he.
publicnns claim all the glory; but FOR
the outrageous administration of those
colonies they say they are not blame
worthy, putting the whole odium upon
the people OF the colonies.
| Examples might be multiplied indch-
nitely, but these are quite sufficient tC
show how accurately Mr.. Stevenson
evasion are to be Republican tactics
this fall just as they have always beer
when that party has been called upor
to defend its record.

AS TO PROGRESS.

To obstruct the harbor of Norfolk is
not progress. To place obstacles in
the way of harbor Improvement is not
progress; it is stupidity. To permit
any one enterprise to encroach upon
the rights and interests of others does
not tend toward progress, but retro
gression. Real progress can come only
from the harmonious development OF
the varied interests OF n community,
and the adjustment of the demands OF
each to the necessities and rights OF
all.
1t does not necessarily mean pro-
gross for Norfolk that the Norfolk and
Western be allowed to build q $500, 0CO
coal pier at Lambert's Point. 1t all
depends! 1t might mean progress; it
might mean Il barrier to legitimate
trade development If such pier
were not III the way of traffic its con-
struction would be progress; if Ii were
in the way. it's construction would be
I. Shortsghted blunder.

Progress for this city means looking

Il permanent possession, and their i'm
provement by artificial means any

Norfolk wants no favored" private
enterprises; it wants no policy OF bread

be its watchword. 1t Is better to make

wrong fork OF the road. Going for

sion-nor progress. The first seaport

this city shout set for itself. 1t is no
idle dream. but the way 10 realize it
is TO treat all enterprises with equal
fairness and justice.
The city OF the future will be the
city that has a fraction of cent less

Aouestion of Kinship.

General Hickenlooper and his FAM

Of mental as well as of physical nutri-
ton, in which exercise the general has
usually the best of it by presenting
puzzling and difficult problems. The
other evening the youngsters turned
the tables upon him by presenting the
following legal proposition:
A French beggar died and left one
child, son. and a considerable estate.
The son. in order to inherit the estate,
was required to prove kinship to the
deceased. What kinship did he prove?
The general promptly replied the kin
ship of father and son.
The children said the answer was
wrong; the parent was a woman. This
tickled the general. and he decided to
pass it along, so the next day, while
taking luncheon with friend, he pro-
pounded the following:
A French beggar woman died and
left a son and an estate, and the son
in order to inherit the property was re-
quired to prove kinship to the deceas.
ed. What was the kinship between
them?

An lMVa1lO'S LUCK une w OOOBs
speaking of deer shooting" said the
local enthusiast. reminds me of the
story of the man up Bethel way. He
had a pulmonary trouble that had re-
duced him somewhat, and he was
doubtful if his strength would permit
him to make the journey. His physi-
elan told him to go ahead, but not to
tramp much. In camp, where he ar
rived much exhausted. his friends told
him to make himself comfortable while
they went out and got him some veni
son.
''He sat about camp alone until about
10 o'clock and then went in and took
his rifle out into the open. Here he
sat down on log and thought Of his
unhappy fate. The sun was warm and
bright, and he moved out into it, rest
ing his rifle against the stump of a
pine. He then lit his pipe and rumi-
mated. A rustic in the brush aroused
him. Looking up, he saw buck, with
branching horns, about 40 yards away.
He reached over without moving from
his seat, took the rifle, rested it on a
prong of the stump, drew bead on the
deer and fired, and the buck fell dead.
"When the hunters who went out
after venison for the invalid came
home, he said, What luck? 'Oh, well
have deer meat for you before we GO
nome. Didn't get any today, but we
saw signs 'How's this for signY
said the invalid, and he led them up to
a 600 pound buck, and they broke the
profound silence to remark, We'll, III
