Whe,, the Jefferson is restored there
will always be large number OF critical
sightseers, and Richmond will be on c e'i
shibition. Let us begin right now to pre-
pare OH. city for dress parade. no time
is to be lost. Throughout the year 1907
Richmond will be overrun with visitors,
with those who will come into the State
to enjoy the Jamestown celebration, ana
those who will come to attend the Epls'-
copal General Convention, and we should
during that year have an exposition OF
our own-not such a show as 1t is pro- pro-.
posed to give at seWells Point but the.
exposition at large of a prosperous, pro-
grcssve and ornate CITY,. There Will be
no doubt about the beauty and attractive
ness Of our central hotel, but one hotel
does not make a city.

Another Study in Grammar

Editor Of The Times Dispatch
II tSir,-In the editorial columns this morn.
ing, you discuss question OF grammar,
using as tho basis Of your remarks q
faulty sentence from the New Y ork Sun.
You are quite correct in asserting that
the subjunctive should be employed in the
sentence quoted, but did you not make a
slip in calling We're present sub1unctive?
If you will refresh y our memory on the
use OF lenses In conditions contrary TO
fact II think you will see that the past
Umperfecp and not the present subjunc-
tive should be employed to denote "a sup
position impliedly false in present time.
Surely you would write quasi esset homo
1 sceeratus Jet simpius,4 since sit would I'M
iply future condition Thus, again, you
would write ST dor miretg and not dorm!at
for "if he Were asleep since 81 dornliat
would mean .if he should be asleep The
! Sun would proEabl not use erat. neither
ought the Sun to use sit, but esset to- de-
note condition of unreality In present
time The subjunctiye past should also
be employed to denote a Wish uIlaccom-
l.plished in present time.s6s Thus 7autinam

Virginia Patriots.

The reunion in this city last night OF

were greater than the men of the present,
There have Been many distinguished
gatherings Of distinguished men In inc

slon or more conscientious In the as
charge of those duties than the men

say that we believe that no body OF men

4 merchants to sell goods at less than the
market price. Business is not done on
St hat principle either in Richmond or else

But there is way to get rents reduced;
there is a way to supply the man ~ NOD
crate circumstances with a comfortable
a home at a moderate price, and that way
is TO build more houses.
Now We are approaching the main point,
now We are coming to one OF the strong
Is, arguments in behalf of annexation.
There should be more desirable building
lots in Richmond. There is plenty OF land
in and around Richmond where cheap
houses may be built, but 1t IS not within
the corpora ton. 1t is not provided with
city conveniences and fire and police pro-
lection. and with the difficulty6of obtains
ing servants ii Is almost impossible for
families ii city life to get along
without the conveniences OF a city home.
