THE UNIVERSITY.
A Plea for Saving 1t from Politics
Gus Hasseu Again.

"A f1Cd 1OT
Gus Hasseu Again.
To the Editor of the Dispatch
It is one of the misfortunes of our time
that every Democratic citizen of this
Commonwealth whether he will or not,
has to be classed as a follower of either
the Governor or the junior United States
Senator from Virginia. So far has this
idea gone that there is no action that can
be taken in the State that is not suppos-
ed by the advocates of these honorable
men. to have reference to them. and to
their political future.
The University Of Virginia. of whom
every alumnus may well say: 'tSalve
Magma Parers,'' is now in danger of being
made the. stake in the game of politics.
Many of the alumni have for years adj
vocated president for the University.
The Board of Visitors have apparently seen
fit to adopt some measures looking towards
the improvement of the University's con-
ditlon. when all at once certain interviews
appear charging political motives as the
ground for such cnange, and meeting
of the alumni is called. and in that meet
ing the question in the minds of many
will be not whether the times require that
the University shall have head other
than that appointed as at present, but
whether such action may affect the poiiti-
cal future Of this or that man In the State
Here are some alumni who regard most
highly the Governor and the junior Sen
ator, but they regard more highly the
University. l do not hesitate to place
myself among this number, and to declare
that in my judgment the proposed action
of the Board of Visitors in in the right
direction. Whether the board names
either of the: two brilliant Vircfnians
Captain McCabe. or Mr.. George w. Miles,
or the present experienced chairman of
the faculty. or sone other distinguished
man let US have one who can represent the
University abroad as no regular professor
can, and let the University be saved from
the fate which the ancient Roman feared
for Rene: Shall Caesar have party.
and shall Pomrey have party, and shall
Rome have no party e.

NOMINATIONS MADE D D
Virginia Will Return Ten De
nocratic Congressman in
November.

The Republican factions IN the Third
District show no signs Of getting toseth-
err. No efforts to effect compromise or
conflicting claims are being made and
both Messrs. Edwards and Ta1ley are in
the field. Captain Lamb and the Demo
era is arc giving themselves absolutely no
worry about the rival Republican candi-
dates. Democrats are now engaged IN the
effort to secure fun registration of the
r Iite voters.
Messrs. Robert G. Southan and Carter
Glass, Democratic nominees for Con-
sress in the Fourth and Sixth districts,
are yet unopposed and will probably
have no opposition. In the other districts
the nomina tons made by Republicans
have served merely to arouse the Demo
cratic voters in registration and Will havu
the effect of bringing out full vote. Just
what Democratic managers desire.
The outlook for Mr.. Floods reelection
IN the Tenth District is now brighter
than ever before. The Yost and Allan
factions, reported to have agreed upon
truce. are still at war. The failure OF
Mr.. Yost TO accept the nomination and
the subsequent nomination of Colonel
James Lyons, an ex-Democrat formerly
of this CITY, clearly indicate that little
cooperation from the Yost wing may be
expected. Ex-Auditor S. Brown Allen

Dr. J. S. Huffman, member of the
Legislature from Shenandoah, who has
been nominated for Congress by the
Seventh District Republicans against
Hon. James Hay, is about as strong d
candidate as the party could have put
up but the reelection OF Mr.. Hay is as
sured.
Mr.. Causey. the Second District nomi-
nee of the Republicans, is regarded by
his party as having some prospect of
election, but Congressman Maynard is
not at all disturbed. The Democratic ma
jority will be Overwhelming if the regis
tration figures mean anything.
In the Fifth District large percentage
of the white vote and only a very small
proportion of the negro vote has been
registered. Congressman Swanson is sure
of reelection. In fact there will be no
break in the ten Democratic representa-
tives from Virginia

Inc apples are ripe in the orchard,

And the golden woodlands redden

Sits pale in his easy chair
While, the gentle wind at twilight
Plays with his silver hair.

A fair young head is press'd
In the first wild passion of sorrow
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come
OF the flying blast of the trumpet
And the rafting role Of the drum
And the Grandsire speaks in a whisper,
The end no man can see;
But we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to Thee!'
The violet stars of the meadows,
The rosebuds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard
The pink white blossoms pour.
But the Grandsires chair is empty,
The cottage is dark and still,
There is nameless grave In the bat

And a new one under the hill.
And pallid,' tender woman
By the cold hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with a steady droDe.

Bicycle Path In Greece.
(New York Tribune.)

(NeW York Tribune.)
There is to be bicycle path from
Athens to Pyraeus!
The highways now connecting the two
cities are narrow, poorly graded, and
poorly kept. making transportation by
any kind of vehicle or wheel extremely
unpleasant.
Through the generosity of Mr.. Syngros
a wealthy Athenian, new boulevard Is
now being constructed from Eadrian's
Arch, on the Boulevard Amelia, Athens,
extending in direct line and gradually
sloping grade to the shore Of Phalerum
Bay, at a point midway between. Old
Phalerum-the bathing place of the an
cient Athenians-on the south shore of the
bay, and New Phalerum, the bathing
place of the modern Athenians, on. the
northwest shore
The boulevard will be about 3,417 metres
in length, and 9S.42 feet wide. and will cost
SIS, S23 So. It will be divided into a prone
made, carriage drive, and bicycle path:
The grading culverts and bridges are we'll
under way, and it is hoped to have the
whole finished by next December.
