LAW AND BUSINESS.

We print elsewhere In to-day's paper an
article from Mr.. William L. Royal on.
the recent decision of the Cour. Of APP
peals in the Gallego Mills case. Mr.. Roy
all says that the decision is worth more
to the city of Richmond than would be
the introduction of ten million dollars of
new capital without It. It means that the
law will hold It's hands off and let the
bankers and the manufacturers make
terms to suit. When the law begins to
NEEDLE 1t is the borrower who suffers.
When some such measure as this was
before committee Of the Legislature
recently, distinguished banker of this
city told the committee UP and down that
he thought the measure was q mistake, but
as banker 1t made very little difference to
him whether 1t passed or not. 1.-THE
banks can take care of thems elves" said
he, In his frank way. and he meant Just
what he said. The banks can and do
protect themselves.
When the laws are such as to make
tho protection OF the banks doubtful the
banks protect themselves by refusing to
take risks. The law may in a measure
regulate the rate OF interest and may
prescribe the terms upon which the banks
may make loans but the law cannot
make them lend money.

OF debauching the voters and demoraliz.
ing the suffrage than bribery in an cleo
ton.
Nor is that ell. although 1t Is bad
enough. When money is used to carry an
election. ell questions OF merit in mea-
s,,res and fitness In candidates are thrown
to the winds. The party with the longest
purse will carry the day. II that is the
way our elections are to be carried 1t Will
not be long before we will indeed have
a "plutocracy." Whenever voters may
be purchased for so much a head. then
ell that the wealthy men OF the country
have to do Is to organize and put UP the
money and purchase and own the gov.
eminent.
But while this sort OF thing may go on
in Maryland we. are thankful to say that
here in Virginia IL money Is used 1t Will
be used in defiance of law, and If any
candidate or any other man attempts TO
buy votes or IN any way to influence the
result by the use Of money, he will be
held to strict account and punished ac-
cordlng to law.

MARYLAND,s DISGRACE,

= According to Baltimore correspondent
thousands OF dollars were spent in the
buying OF votes in the recent primary
election in Queen Annes county Md
The contest was between the Democratic
organization and the anti-organization
forces. The votes began selling at $40
and $50, and the price finally went up to
SIS and 500. Each side seemed TO have
plenty OF money, and 1t was used without
stint.
As between ballot box stufting and
wholesale bribery, We behave that the
latter is more demoralizing. IT is meaner
and more contemplate TO rob the ballot
box. TO steal that which ought to be
precious to every man. 10 rob man of
the vote which the law permits him to
cast, but in this case comparatively few
men ara morally affected Voters are
swindied. but they are not injured In
their characters by the cheat. They may
not even know that they have been
robbed But In the case OF bribery every
voter bought is made to sell his man
hood and Forever thereafter 70 hold him.

DIXIE.

Again we hear the objection urged that
the language OF Dixie Is unworthy of a
song which Is recognized as the national
Southern air, so to speak.
Undoubtedly. 1t Is In part nonsenscal.
but It is Catchy In that respect it
is like some imperishablc nursery rhymes.
Time and again, during the war and
since. song writer's OF various degrees OF
capacity. composed substitutes for Dixie,
but not one of them met with popular APP
prevail.
We would not discourage the efforts OF
song writers to supply the Southern pub
lie with a national song superior to
Dixie. but we wish kindly to point out
the difficulty In the undertaking.
There is hardly any use attempting to
improve upon the music of Dixie. That
IS acceptable to the masses, at least 1t
has found place in the Southern heart
from which It cannot be disodged. 1t
liz associated with recollections of camp
and march. battle and siege. victory and
death. Besides, 1t is q sprlghtly air, is
suitable for military bands and Is pro-
vocative of cheerfulness and enthusiasm
We know that It has been the subject
of criticism at the hands of musical con-
nolsseurs. but It has acquired dominion
over tho hearts Of tho Southern people
No. don't try to improve upon Dixie's
music-at least, don't hope to drive 1t out
of favor in the South; but If any one
thinks he can offer an acceptable substi-
tute for the words Of tho song, why let
him make the attempt.

ABOUT LEADERSHIP,

In the course of his admirable address
before the literary societies OF the UNI
versity OF Virginia on Monday night, Dr.
Henry Smith Pritchett. president OF the
niassa chusetts Institute OF Technology,
spoke especially OF the need OF training
at college for leadership, not merely IN
the professions and in business, but IN
politics. Leadership" said he, TO
be effective in free country and
progressive country must rest upon
those fundamental qualities OF citizen
ship, moral purpose. ability to think
clearly, fellowship and work, and IT the
education Of our higher institutions IS
10 nrepare men for such leadership these
qualities must In some way be mace
part Of the atmosphere Of the college
and of the university life"
That is all right as far as 1t goes, but
another thing is necessary to leadership,
without which all the other qualfica-
tions 60 for nnught. The true leader
must DO truly courageous. must have
moral courage. must have the courage
which Is ever ready to make sacrinces
for principle, must have the courage
which prefers defeat with honor over
success with compromise.
That is why there arc so few political
leaders Most men who go into politics
( go in for career and this implies popu-
larlty. The politician soon learns that
courageous leadership Is more often than
otherwise unpopular. 1t is so much easier
TO train with the crowd. 30 much easier
to go along with the boys, and whoop
and hurrah than to take the lead and at
tempt to turn the crowd out Of Its course.
The crowd is usually caught by clap
trap The politician knows that the best
working material Is to be found at the
bottom-among men who are caught with
chafi. who are swayed by the passing
sentiment of the hour. Such voters are
not won by argument. hut by appeal to
their emotions. And thus 1t Is that the
politician is apt to become a demagogue.
Naturally when he is after votes he
works amoHs those who are most easily
captured. and aatdrally again he employs
the ways and means that he knows to be
most successful.
No man can be safe leader who puts
SUCCESS above everything, whose one idea
above all others is to win his way. The
true leader must put aside all selfish
considerations. must be willing to sacri-
Ace his ambition, his life, everything save
his honor for the cause which he repre-.
cents. Such leader will sometimes be
popular, and will receive the plaudts OF
men, and again he will be denounced as
the enemy of the people. II the course
which no pursues happens to be popular
the people Will go wild over him, for the
people love brave and courageous man
when they agree with him-but IL the
course which he maps out for himsAl
happens to be unpopular. the crowd vii
turn from him as quickly as the Roman
mob turned from Brutus to Anthony.
1t is for this reason and others, which
we have cited that 1t Is SO difficult to fine
leader, and especially successful leader
In politics. The politician Is apt to kee,
.....s ear to the ground. and such mar
Is never a leader He may appear to lead
hut in fact he follows public sentiment
he runs with the crowd.
