The Petersburg Reunion.

While the honor and the responsibility
OF the Confederate Reunion IN lnls Guy
next week belong to Petersburg, IN
larger and more important sense the
reunion itself Is State affair, the sue
cess or failure of which concerns the
whole State and every part OF the state'
The Grand Camp OF Confederate Veter-t
ans is composed Of representatives from
subordinate camps. and in addition to
their attendance the camps themselves
will also be present to add dlgnlty anu
Importance to the event. So that IN the
most comprehensive sense the reunion
In this city next week is VirHlnla.s ar
fair even more than It p Pet ersburs's
affair, and It Is to be hoped that every
part of the state. especially our closest
nclghbor Richmond. the capital city
OF the state, will be fully represented
not only by ex-Confcderates, which may
be assumed as matter OF course. put
by their military companies, also, Which
will be of great inheritance to Inc + ue-
monstrations on Thursday. especially
in the rnrade and on the sham battle
at the Crater.--Prtersbur Index-Appeal.
Petersburg and Richmond are so near
Is one community that the interests ana
responsibilities Of one are largely the IN
,ercsts and responsibilities Of the other
1t ought to DO always the pleasure OF
one city to lend its kindly aid to the
other in making successful an occasion
Of this character. But as the Index
Appeal says. the Confederate Reunion
Is a State affair and Richmond should
participate not only as matter OF
pleasure. but ms matter OF state
pride and social Obligation,
We hope the Confederate veterans, the
military organizations and citizens gen
orally who love the Confederate cause

Europe and South America.

In his speech in Richmond PRESIDENT
Roosevelt used this LANGUAGE:
en- particular we must remember mat
5S,n undertaking 20 build the Panama
Il Canal we have necessarily undertaken
80 police the seas III either END OF III
and this means that we have pecullar
interest in the preservation OF ofuer IN
sthe coasts and islands OF the Caribbean.
IL firmls, believe that by little wise ana
generous aid we can help even me most mos
1 backward OF the peoples in these coasts
and islands forward along the path OF
orderly liberty so that they can stand
nlnne If we decline 10 give them such
leln. tho result Will be bad both for them
and for us: and will in the end IN All
probability cause us 10 face illumination
or bloodshed."
5 Some are disposed TO attach great I'M
4 nor,ance to the utterance and 10 see IN
MI danger ahead. but We think that the
President meant only to repeat what ne
! has 80 often said, that the maintenance
OF the Monroe Doctrine puts US under
q ALLEGATION to preserve the peace as lar
I as we may in the South American repub-
lies and to Insist that they shall not
dodge behind the Monroe Doctrine 10
escape any obligation OF theirs to for
y eign powers.
So long as our government maintains
that attitude we believe that the foreign
n powers will be entirely willing that the
Monroe Doctrine shall stand, for it is
clearly in their interest that the status
QUO should be preserved. II we should
renounce the Monroe Doctrine and II
as a consequence South America should
be thrown open to foreign colonization
there would be a scramble on the part
OF the nations Of Europe. Each would
try to forestall the other in grabbing
Territory. and complications of the most
serious nature would arise. If there
should be a fight for possession, nothing
short Of n miracle could save some of
( these powers from the clash OF arms. As
the case now stands. each power is left
in the possession Of the territory which
1t already controls in South America,
and each IS lef. free TO trade with the
South American countries. The open
door policy Is preserved, and the United
States government has shown DISPOSE
tion TO use Its best offices to adjust any
differences which may arise from time
to time between the powers of Europe
and their customers in South America.
4 Manifestly 1t Is far better for these pow
q ers that the situation should remain as
4 II IS. and there seems to be perfect
and a satisfactory understanding between
them and the President Of the United
i states. If the Monroe Doctrine were not
/ acceptable to the powers of Europe. 1t
\ goes without saying that in all these
years it would not have been allowed to
I stand without challenge from abroad.

Editor OF The Times Dspatch:
Sir. Section / 80 OF the Constitution OF
the state provides: provision shall be
made to supply children attending the
public schools with necessary textbooks
in cases where the parent or guardian is
unable by reason of poverty to furnish
them.
Section 1872 of the Constitution among
other things provides That the State
Board of Education "may. IN its discre-
ton, divide the State into appropriate
school divisions. comprising not less than
one county or city each, but no county
or city shall be divided In the formation
Of such divisions. 1t shall, subject to the
confirmation of the Senate, appoint for
each Of such divisions one superintend-
ent OF schools, who shall hold office for
four years, and shall prescribe his duties,
and may remove him for cause and upon
notice.
VIII you kindly state through the
columns of your valuable paper what
amount is paid out In the city OF Rich
mond for school books furnished the
children of poor parents or those chill

what right or authority the State Board
of Education claims It can dviGe the

The Richmond Times-Disphtcn ventures
this:

Filings Of this kind ut Judge Parker
come with poor, grace from the south,
and particularly 80 from Virginia. no
man was moro instrumental IN securing
Judge Parkers nomination than Thomas
r. Ryan. who. although n resident OF
New York. claims Virginia as his voting
home, and was sent By Virginia as Il
delegate to the st. Louis convention

This paper has, not made any ring
at Judge Parker The Virginia dolega-
ton were virtually instructed to vote for
his nomination: they did vote that way,
and Tho Timcs-Dispatch raised no objec-
ton But as a matter OF fact, Judge
Parker's run was almost farce, and
we remarked that II the party should
try southern CandlQhte ilcNt Iii'c -
could not do worse (in polling votes) than
It did with New York candidate In 1904.
We have the greatest respect for Judge
Parker, and we are incapable OF making
a sneering remark at his expense
But to return to the subject: IN l!Ws,
will all Southern men be barred as usuai,
from aspiring to the nomination, simply
because they reside below Mason ana
Dixon's line? And must We, as usual,
choose our man from New York? The
other day 1t was given out from Wash
ington' that Mcclellan would DO re-
elected Mayor Of New York city, then
be elected Governor Of the state. and
then be the logical candidate for the
nomination for the presidency In 1903.
But more recently it was given out
that William r. Hearst would be elected
Mayor. Now, suppose that should be,
and that thereafter Hearst should be
elected Democratic Gvernor OF New York,
would he be the logical candidate for
presidential honors?

Editor OF The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-I have Just seen copy OF The
Times Dispatch of yesterday, containing
Judge Hundleys statement. It is need
less for me TO reiterate that his state
mcnt OF what 7 said In our Joint discus
sion Of nearly thirty years ago Is not
true. He says he made IA sharp retort,"
OF which It is not necessary for him TO
speak In another place he spoke OF
having said some hard things" to ME
at Chesterfield Courthouse. i have no.
OF his having said anything
harsh or oncnsivcSto nc on that or any
other occasion. He said nothing that
would have warranted me in calling
HIN down. and he knows It.
As to his impartirg the remarks he at-J
tributes to me to lack Of moral courage
on my part, that is absurd.
III have only moment IN which to
write. nor do I think that any further
remarks by me upon the statement in
question Is necessary.
Very respectfully

A Manly Confession.

Our esteemed contemporary tne Au-
Eusta Chronicle, Is cxtlltant because we
have rung from the editor OF the Norfolk
virginian-Piot the confession thnt he is
guilty OF the snoring habit. Our Georgia
contemporary says that If it were free
TO speak 1t would remark:
..That of hot, brcathlcss night we
have tossed to one side Of our berth
when the train has stopped and walked
you--and there lay in agony While some
apoplectic fellow passenger lip-sawcd
blanks with unexpected knots III them,
and then hurled ourselves back again
while he gurgled ana gasped and surg-
gled and chokcd and snorted IN einula-
ton of the engine, but that some indl-
vidual would have looked ut us with
sadly reproachfu air had we intimated
next morning that he had snored during
the night"
"Of course, we all know that the hut
man animal does snore,' it goes on,
shut that anybody--from the primal
morn, when the stars were budding ny
degrees and the world still smelt OF
fresh paint, to this dccadent day "hen u
holiness blossoms that was unknown 70
our more modest grandparents-that any
body ever admitted having snored, 49, We
confess, n revelation that not only en-
feebles the nngers. but actually PASSES
the pen that would comment thereon.
"Yet the Richmond Ti,ncs-Dispatch
tells us that the editor of the Norfolk
5yirstnian-Pilot has proclaimed himself
riot and prodigy by owning up to the
fact that he does emit these mysterious
midnight sounds that, like Mr.. Macbeth,
effectually murder sleep. But with a
proviso, be it observed, what the slang
lily inclined would describe as win
string tied to IT, he shores in Richmond,
but not in Norfolk. That satisfaction
should be freely granted him, however,
his acknowled glnent, as it stands, stands
alone and without a compeer he mas
solved a perplcxing problem. Renee
forth, when snoring Is heard, we may
know that this honest Virginian IS pay
ing a temporary visit to Richmond. ss
Like the Chronicle, we admire the Nor
folk editor for his confession. although
We could wish that 1t had been a@trihe
more frank and full. 1t goes Withon
SAYING that the man who SHORES at l'nsse
shores also in the privacy OF his own
home in other words that snoring Is
pastime in which ne INDUCES "l llecI's
he may chance to slumber.
But while IAN honest confession. is good
for the SOUL" the cc~ression OF a robber
does not carry with 1t impunity and
that the man who shores in public places
is a robber and does rob his netghbors
OF the sweet repose to which they are
entitled, is indicated in the published
experience Of our Georgia brother.
Therefore we remark again, that there
should be a universal law to make snor-
ing in public misdemeanor, punishable
by a fine or Imprisonment, or II neces-
sary to abate the nuisance, BY both.
We are in hope that the editor OF the
Augusta Chronicle will come up man
fully and herocally to our support IN
advocating this needful reform.
