A PLEA FOR OLD MEN.

A correspondent writing from St. Pc
tersburg, says that another religious
sect, having self-immolation MS the car
covered in Russia. Tho members con-
tend that any man living longer than
thirty years does so at the expense Of
other individuals, and accordingly they
pledge themselves to die at that age.
This is an extreme view. to be sure.
regret that they were not called away
before their day OF usefulness was past.
The demand for young men In this coun-
try amounts almost to a craze, and as
a consequence, men rwho are beginning
to show age frequently find 1t difficult
orous in mind and body. but II they have
gray hair and wrinkles they are at q
discount In the business world and at a
sad disadvantage.
This is true not only Of business but
of ministers of the gospel. Many
churches seem disposed to put aside the
ministers who have begun to grow old
and to have the pulpit filled by young
man. Experience and accumulated
knowledge and fidelity seem to count for
little against youthful vgor The ole
men are cast aside like old garments,
and the man who has failed to lay up
for his old age a bountiful store is in a
! pitiful condition
The whole thing Is wrong. OF course,
the young men should have chance
but the old men should have chance
also, and we believe that this generation
will be held to account for It's merclless
treatment of those who have grown old
In faithful service.

A BUSINESS AFFAIR.

In speaking the other day OF the pro
posed tercentenary exposition in 1907
Senator Hunton said that the people OF
| Virginia were great on history, and tina,
| they would go into this centennial VIII
| all their heart. I'VE have no great man
| ufactures," he added, land we are possi-
bly, a little slow In our farming. our
schools and our commerce: but we love
the old time Institutions. and we shall
be glad to have them refreshed to our
memories by this celebration"
This celebration is to be Of an historic
event but II Is to be something more.
The fact Is, vlrginians have made the
mistake Of exploiting their past rather
than OF advertising their present re-.
sources and Industries. Senator Hunton
is mistaken In saying that we have no
great manufactures. We have many great
manufactures In various parts of the
state, and apart from the historic
feature, the main object OF this exposition
is to advertise our manufactures and our
mineral resources and our wealth Of raw
materials, and our advantages generally
as manufacturing State.
The mistake that we made when the
Chicago Exposition was held, was that
our exhibit was one Of relics, rather than
of the living present We called attention
to the fact that Virginia had been great,
that she had produced great men. that
she was the mother Of States and Of
Statesmen and all that It was not ne
cessary, for everybody knew it. But many
people who visited the Exposition did not
know of our wealth and our facilities.
and they learned nothing about them
from tho Virginia exhibit.
We are learning better. We are going
to have an up-to date exhibit at st. Louis,
and then we are going to have great
Industrial exposition of our own on
Hampton Roads. and we are going to give
Virginia the advertisement which she
should have had long years ago. The ap.
preparation to Jamestown has been made
and there is no use in talking any more
about the money. It is now the part of
and good sense for the people
of the State to, give the jamestown enter
prise their cordial and material support,
and make 1t worthy Of Virginia from every
point of view, Industrial and CONNER
ciaI as we'll as historical.

Home Builders the Best.
GATOR Of The TImes-Dispatch:

Sir,-I note with pleasure your news
item regarding the acceptance Of the
new memorial hospital building in Sun
days Times Dispatch. Considering tho
amount Of adverse criticism expressed on
the new city jail building the news item
is very refreshing, and furnishes an OPP
portunity to express the hope that the
old adage, "a prophet Is without honor
at home" is becoming rule that will
work both ways" There are many con-
Germs. contractors and Others in our city
who show and have always shown. lib
crafty in meeting and executing their
obligations. In this instance two build
ings have been constructed, one by a
resident contractor and the other by a
contractor from another city. The re-
suits, If published articles are to be be-
iieved and are of any value to disin-
tcrested reader, are clearly In favor Of
the Richmond man. who not only pleased
the trustees Of the hospital building by
the liberal performance Of his obligation,
but pleased them to the extent Of their
voluntarily expressing their appreciation.
sincerely trust that Mr.. Ancarrow,
who is total strange to myself, and
other resident contractors, may have
other opportunities to build up our city
with substantial and beautiful buildings,
which are becoming Indispensable to all
large and growing communities.

DIR. KERR TO LEAVE us.

The people OF Richmond are greatly at
tached to Rev. DR., Robert p. Kerr, pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian Church.
and are distressed TO hear that he will
accept call to Baltimore. DR.. Kerr Is,
In turn, equally attached to the people
OF Richmond. and It must be sore trial
10 him TO sever his relations with his
church and the community and cast his
lot among strangers. We feel sure that
he is induced 10 take this serious step
by considerations Of an extraordinary
character which he cannot control, When
the call was first extended It was declined
in good faith, and DIR. Kerr had definitely
decided to spend the rest of his life In
Richmond and rest at last In Hollywood.
But when the call came again It doubt
less seemed to Dr. Kerr to be compul-
sorry and conscience bade him go. He will
carry with him the best wishes OF Rich
mond.
