SIR:
The undersigned citizens, who
are business men resident in Your
Legislative district, not knowing your
future political intentions take this
method to assure you of their hearty
endorsement of your record as our
representative in the last Legislature
and earnestly request that you will
consider favorably the subject of a
denomination at the hands of the
Democrats Of these two counties.
Aside from the fact that you have
been very efficient and highly rep.
utable representative we feel it is due
that the honor be conferred upon
you a second time, as it has been the
custom of Democrats of this district
ever since regaining control, to give
no member a shorter service thar
two terms.
Should you conclude to announces
your candidacy for the election thi!
fall we believe the Democrats of Ian,
caster and Richmond counties will
consider no other candidate, as Ger
tainly political opponents canno
find one flaw in your record, and M
matter what aspirations any brothel
Democrat may have he must fee
that to you. again is Justly due tn,
honor: Respectfully,

wise al could write here until nv
arm is weary of the wickedness (cf
the Pope), but can any one tell me
of any good deeds he has done? If
any of my readers do not agree with
me, l would be glad to hear from
them through the VIRGINIA CIrI-
zEN." "JUsIIcE.o
"village, Va"
"Can any one tell of any good
deeds he has done ?" Why, most
assuredly. This great Pontiff has
for 90 years shown the world how to
live virtuously and then die bravely.
His life, upon which q fierce search
light has ever beat, has by the verdict
of public opinion, been pronounced
spotlessly clean, pure and noble. For
over quarter of century his clarion
voice has been raised to. defend the
oppressed, comfort the afflicted aud
chide the wicked. He has been the
patron Of poetry, music, literature
and art and of every refining and up
lifting influence of good. He has
opened the doors of the Vatican
library, that great treasure house of
"loDg forgotten lore" to those who
wished to drink at the fountain head
of knowledge. HIS life alone has
been wonderful lesson of frugality,
charity, temperance and purity, and
he welcomed the messenger of death
with a smiling face and grasped his
bony hand with pleasure. In his
wonderful encyolioals he cries aloud
against the blighting evils of divorce,
and calls upon his Church and the
world at large to crush this serpent
of discord which is poisoning the
sanctity of the home and undermining
the social fabric of the nations. He
| deuounces the insidious doctrine of
socialism, which aims to destroy all
individual rights in property. He
has ever championed the cause of the
laboring class, and besought the
rulers of the earth to protect the
poor from the grasping exactions of
heartless plutocrats. Says the New
York Sun: "Prayers offered up in
protestant churches for the late Pope
are indicative of change in the at
titude of professionalism toward the
Roman Catholic Church which is
one of the most remarkable religious
Developments of recent years. = =
The Roman Pontif has become a
Christian brother and professionals
join with Catholics in celebrating
the spiritual exaltation of his charac-
ter and the services he has rendered
TO Christianity. He was described
by a Methodist preacher of New
York, on Sunday, as "a leader
of the great army of the Lords hosts
a spiritual commander in chief
champion of the faith who has never
wayered from the Catholic position
and theology of Thomas Aquinas,'
who has restored the golden age of
the papacy in its best sense and done
much for the progress of civiliza-
tion."
1t is now in order for this Village
in-"Justice" to go down on his knees
and ask forgiveness for his libelous
writings and for masquerading under
the spotless cloak of "Justice." Let
us pray for our misguided brother
and hope that he may squeeze from
his heart every drop of blood infected
with the germ of religious bigotry
and scrape from his soul the canker-
GUS mould of fanaticism.
AMEN.
