Man Who Won't Be Quoted
By ARTHUR III. FOLWELL

Who is the man in politics
Whose knowledge is so vast
That nothing ever puzzles him2
Whose mighty mind is cast
In such mold that everything
Becomes as clear as day.
If he but gives passing glance.
Or sheds thought that ways
No myth is he; his wisdom rare
In print you've often noted.
His name7 / never learned. But he's
The Man Who Won't Be Quoted
You know him well3 l thought you did;
So often he appears.
So wide his range, especially
In presidential years.
When other men, and big ones too.
Confess themselves uncertain,
Confounded. stumped or stuck. this man
lust draws aside the curtain
And heyl at once the way is plain.
To duty most devoted.
No mystery is e'er too deep
For him who won't be quoted.
He knows who'll be the nominees
For weeks before they're named;
For fathoming leaders thoughts
He's also aptly famed;
The ms and outs, the ups and downs,
OF politics. in short.
While intricate to most of us,
For him amount to naught.

there is in Virginia quite the same sort
or degree of prejudice against the
Negro as in Mississippi. At any rate
you will rarely find a virginian who
does not hold that Virginia Negroes
are the best. The claim has been
rather convincingly reasoned out for
me in this way:
The Negro in Virginia has been in
contact with whites longer than any,
where else in America. None have
been imported since the Revolution
and there are no rice swamps or sea
Islands. as in South Carolina, where
they would have lived under overseers
with little tutelage from white families
of the better sort. When the Gnlf
states We're settled, it was the worst
or them. not the best, who were sent
into the Black Belt. Those who re-
manned We're in n sense selected.
however that may be, and however
Ill the farmers may take the loss of
thelr Negro labOrers who go North or
10 the cities, or hire or rent land for
themselves, one cannot help believing
that IN the end Virginia will be the
better for 1t. There is nothing but the
Negro to initiate against white labor
IN FlrSlnia-in agriculture or anything
else. None of the hyacinths which I
snail probably see first in South Caro-
ma are visible here. nor any daffodil

beauty. And on the whole the most
encouraging sign of all is the evidence
one easily discovers that as a laborer
the white man is here coming into his

Negroes place on the farm because he
must. In establishments like the
richmond Locomotive Works he some
times takes place right alongside the
Negro and keeps it without complaint
from either party.
This particular concern, now

Company, is perhaps Richmond's best
contribution to the record of southern

themselves to my judgment and
patriotism. But who are these young
men to transform Virginia? Will their
wrestling with social problems SO old

famous men who stare at one from all
sdes-in the crowded little State
House, from the walls Of clubs and
hotels and private houses. from the

indeed change the face OF Virginia.
how much will they preserve Of her
imperial spirit, OF her quiet way in
heroisms. Of her incompatible social

rich prosperous. modern. would they
be able to keep for her people their best
possession-their manners?
But we may as Well face the new
forces here. where reverence is at its
strongest. What changes Virginia
dares no other southern state should
shrink from. The Legislature is now
proposed to change. certainly to en-
large, the Capitol itself-possibly the
most crowded to be found in any state.
