.CORMAN TALK is
VERY UNPOPULAR
One Virginia Delegate Says He
Would Prefer
Bryan.

The stories printed in regard to the prob-
ability or tho Virginia delegation finally
going to Senator Arthur Pue German, or
Maryland. for the Presidency In the ST.
Louis Convention next month. are creat-
ing no little talk here, and are meeting
with a great deal OF severe criticism.
x 1t may be truthfully told that the Mary
land Senator has never been a fayorlte
with the rank and file Of the Virginia
Democracy. and 1t Is not generally ne
lieyed in Richmond political circles thae
tho Virginia delegation would reflect ny, ,,
sentiments OF the party should the votS
be cast that way
Ono OF the delegates to the ST. LOUIS
Convention did not mlnce matters y, a.s'
cussing the proposition iast msml.
WhIie this gentleman never had nau sreat
faith in the silver ideas of MI bryan, ne
declared that he would prefer Inc Nc
,braska leader to the Maryland Senator
rho delegate In question was an original
Parker man, and Thought tho committee
should have declared for the New Yorls
.Jurist. He was further OF opinion that
uniess there had been some preference eN-
pressed by the Convention, the delegatlon
should not have been put under UNI rula.
II q majority of the Virginia delegation

A Sign From Finland,

The assassination OF General Bohrikoff
IS tho first overt Sign of the deep-seated
dlsaffectjon OF Russian Finland. Oml-l
nous rumors have been heard for some
time from Finland. and 1t was not to be
expected that d. nation should be do
,prlved Of Its language, law, constitution
and Individuality without resenting it,.
This was what Finland endured, and Gem
er.il Bobrlkoff was the hated means by
which these destructive changes were
carried out. For four years his nalne
has been the synonym for everything de-
testable and detested In Finland, and now
he has met his death by the hand of a.
patriot, who Immediately killed him
self. 81
Russia has her hands full enough in
Manchuria to earnestly desire peace at
home, but It may we'll be that Finland
may prove that little leaven which
leaveneth the whole lump and II once
the spirit of disaffection becomes active
throughout Poland and Finland, the Rus
sian campaign will be fearfully conpli-
Gated.
In the meantime, the next chapter OF
Finlands struggle for freedom will DO

The Commemorative Attorney

There is no position In our municipal
government altogether so important as
that OF Commonwealth's attorney. The
Commemorative attorney may be
power for good, or he may be q power
for evil. 1t depends on tho kind OF man
who occupies that office, If he is u good
lawyer; if he is an honest and conscien-
tious and courageous official; If he has
the true interests of the community at
heart; If he has a keen and righteous
sense of the obligations of his office, he
ps,ll he a terror to evil-doers and he will
he a blessing to law and order. But If
Ne Is corrupt, there is no such thing as
n measuring the evil which he may DO.
Even IL honest he may do some harm
by being too polite and shutting his
eyes to wrong-doing which he knows to
exist. He may be learned in the law; he
may be reasonably honest; he may not
be political time-server, and yet. he may
be unfit for the place for lack of moral
courage.
For Commemorative attorney we
should have man who Is learned in the
law; who is thoroughly conscientious;
who is discreet; who has a keen per-
ception of his duty and the courage to
do his duty when he sees It.
We have had .or years in the city of
Richmond a Commemorative attorney
who answers to this description. Rich
mond never had a better Commemorative
*
is an honor to the Office which he fills:
he is a public protector: he Is our senti-
mel upon the watch tower OF civic right
eousness, and every good citizen feels
safer because he is there. -
1t would be public misfortune for him
to retire. 1t might he public disaster.
for we know not what sort of man would
BIO put in his place. Wc say this with
out meaning to reflect upon any, but the
city would be taking chances to permit
Mr.. Richardson to retire and put a new
and untried man In his place. Tho city
cannot afford to lose him. 1t could bet
ter afford to pay him twice or three
times as much salary as he is now re-

ment will be- offered to Mr.. Richardson
to save his services to the municipality.
1t is not the custom of The Times
Dispatch to advocate the candidacy Of
any man for office. and 1t Is hardly neces-
sary to say that this article is written
without the knowledge of Mr.. Richard
son and without the remotest suggestion
OF any representative OF his. We write
