IT is really "amoosing" to see the
shirts being ripped on account of
the prospect of throwing Newport
News into the First Compression al
district. What have we as Democrats
to fear from ar alliance with New
port News and that territory? Ger
tainly nothing as Democrats, for the
territory added to us will be Demo-
cratic territory. There can hardly
De injustice in trying to equalize the
population of these two adjacent dis
tricts (the First and the Second), and
we fail to see where there can be any
objection to the change except from
those who may find some of their
personal and political desires baked.
The First district may be in ma
Jority as heard through its mouth
pieces against the change, but there
Is also a large sentiment here in
favor of it. We for one will welcome
Newport News into the First dis
trict, not fearing that she will become
an octopus and want to grab all. If
she has any better men than we let
her trot them ont. Until we lose
faith in the calibre of this section
We are not going to stand in awe of
being swamped politically. Any other
reasoning seems to us born of timidity
or personal cupidity.

DIR. LAFFERTY'S vIRILITY,
During the Conference the vir.
glnia church organ, the Richmond
Christian Adoocdte, was under fire,
but editor Lafferty defended the
paper with bis accustomed vigor.
Our sympathies are with him, as we
do not hold with those who are for.
ever nagging at their church paper.
Among the pointed sayings in the
speech of DR.. Lafferty are the follow
ing excerpts:
Bishop Keener has put himself on
record as saying, If man edits paper
twenty years he will have no friends on
EARTH He quit and went into the bish.
opric, and wish had also.
THE Richmond Christian Advocate Is
owned by twenty or thirty of you breth-
rem, but 1t SO happens that every time
you want to blaze away at this paper the
others SQUAT and get the whole load.
The burden OF your reproofs always fall
on me. l asked DR.. Lee one time what
he did when he wanted five hundred new
subscribers and the Doctor replied, obi
go down to the Office of DR.. Shafer and
we discuss 'Baptidzo' and other Greek
words and we stirred Jordan and our
subscription lists take care of themselves
all right.
ibid you ever think brethren. of vour
responsibility in making the Advocate
what 1t ought to be? You cannot an.
preciste the burden of responsibilitv
that has rested upon us.
ANY man of good sense is glad for adj
vice, and in reference 10 the report of
the committee want to say that we will
glsdly receive any suggestion that will
aio us In the prosecution of our work.
we need help; we want your advice.
send US list OF subscribers and with IL
ali OF The advice you please, but let us
see the color OF the coin first.n
