COMMU NICATED.
Would-be Leaders VS.. Republican
State ORGANIZATION Of Virginia.

Experience sometimes leads people to
learn that they are not the whole thing.
Some of these minority would-be leaders
who have been trying to impress Presl-
dent Roosevelt with their Importance as
republican leaders in State politics, have
utterly failed to deliver the goods. They
sought to control at the republican State
convention at Norfolk on March 3D..
No man within the republican party OF
Virginia stands higher than does the
Hon. Park Agnew, the present reflect
ed State chairman. A few would-be
leaders may imagine that they are the
whole thing, and that they can about
move the whole State when they are
ready to do SOY, but, after such a shock,
ing defeat, they should (all OF them
ego way back and sit down." One can
count on his finger ends these would-bt
leaders who sought to defeat the Hon

sour grapes, they we're left to gaze OF
what they sought to destroy, and LETT 10

Harbingers of Spring,

Notwithstanding the crisp weather,
certain precursors of approaching spring
we're visible this morning. The appear
ance of shad flies and gulls and the
preparations of the fishermen made
things more cheerful around the river
front, and an organ grinder moved around
the city. While the old melody, "When
the springtime comes, gentle AN
ME-" was not among his selections, the
other strains his instrument emitted
added life to both man and beast now
emerging from the severe protracteo
winter scenes.

Commission Orders Better Facil-
tiles.

The Corporation Commission, which
was recently appealed to by certain
patrons of the Washington, Alexandria
and Mount Vernon Railway who made
allegations concerning the manner in
which the trains are run, heating
facilities. &C., has made an investigation
and issued an order requiring the COM
pany to furnish greater facilities for
carrying its passengers between this
city and Washington. The order re-
ouires more cars to be run between 6:l5
and $50 a. m. and 4:30 and $50 p. m.
the hours when there is the greatest
demand for transportation. Compliance
with this order will minimize the chief
source of complaint against the road,
and probably lead to other changes.
The commission, it will be remembered,
recently heard statements from patrons
of the road and representatives OF the
railway company.
The commission having received many
complaints from persons who travel on
this road as to failure to furnish ade-
quate seating capacity for passengers,
the company was summoned to appear
before the Corporation Commission on
February 10th, when formal hearing
of the case was had Several complain
ants were summoned by the commission
to appear to rssiiy as to the over-crowd'
ed condition of the trains on the road
and, it appearing from the evidence
adduced that this company's trains were
greatly over crowded during certain
hours of the day, the commission ISSUED
an order requiring the company to In
crease its service during the rush hours
rs stated above.
