DOES DUTY AT THE CASE

Robert 0. Dormer today celebrates
his eighty-second birthday anniversa
ry He is one of the best known and
most estimable of Richmond's old cit
liens and is of the fast-disappearing
| type of the gentlemen of the old
school,
Mr.. Dormer is printer by trade,
| though it has been a number of years
since he worked at ''the case" Since
being compelled to give up active
work, Mr.. Dormer sets type on his
his hand in. In accordance with this
custom, Mr.. Dormer spent short
time at the case in the Palladium Of
fee yesterday and put in type Lord
Byrons THE Dying Gladiator" which
is one of Mr.. Dormer's favorites from
the pen of that author. Though the
Palladiums pages are set entirely by
machinery, the double-column poem
which appears on this page was set
in the old style by hand and Mr.. Dor
mer finished the work in quick time
and with the exception of one invert-
ed letter, there was no error on the
proof sheet.
Mr.. Dormer was born in Clinton
County, Ohio, September 81, 1924;
went to the printing business at Will
mington, the county seat, in 1912, with
John and Thomas McKibben and re-
manned with them about two years;
he then went to Indianapolis and
worked in the Journal office with S.
v. B. Noel nearly three years, until
Mr.. Noel sold the office to John d.
Defrees. From there he went to
Winchester, and with John w. Irwin,
commenced the publication of the
Winchester Orthopolitan, which was
continued nearly two years, and then
the Cambridge City Reveille was
partner, and published for several
years. In 1856 Mr.. Dormer accepted
position in the congressional post
office of the XXXIV Congress (the
celebrated Banks congress,) and re-
manned there two years. When Mr..
Linsoln was installed in the presiden-
cy in 1861, Mr.. Dormer accepted a po-
sition in the Z. S. Patent Office and
remained there three years These
three years covered a great portion of
the rebellion, and Mr.. Dormer was
several times called out to do guard
duty, before the arrival of troops. He
also assisted in keeping the minutes
and making up the journals of the In
diana House of Representatives for
nineteen sessions of the legislature.
Mr. Dormer now makes his home
with his daughter, Mrs. J. w. Roney,
North ID street. He is still hale and
hearty and is a daily visitor at the
Palladium office.

THE souTH,s ATTITUDE.

What strange spell has Mr.. Bryan
cast upon the South that Southern
newspapers and Southern politicians
though they loudly repudiate his doc
.trines, continue to indorse his presi
Dental aspirations? The thing is
amazing.
The press and the people of the
Southern states are practically unan
imous in denouncing Mr.. Bryan's gov
eminent ownership proposition. They
declare it to be policy at once un,
democratic and un-American-leaving
the Jim Crow phase of it out of the
question. The titular democrats of
the South are quite as vigorous as the
republicans of the North in opposing
the ownership business.
Yet they keep on indorsing Mr.. Bry-
an for the presidency, they introduce
him as ..our next president" at public
meetings and they omit no opportuni-
ty to acknowledge his leadership.
Stark qualification. it looks like
1t would not be more stultifying If
the Southern democrats were to in
dorse the presidential hopes of Score
tary Shaw, who has recently been
among them. Mr.. Shaw breaches doc
trine that is opposed to democratic
ideas, but the high protection idea is
not bit more undemocratic than is
the government ownership idea. Why
do not the Southerners take up Secre-
tary Shaw-or Secretary Taft or Con-
gresham Cannon or Vice-President
Fairbanks?
None of them is a democrat, but
any one of them is as good democrat
as Mr.. Bryan is. Better, in fact, for
none of them advocates public owner
ship and Mr.. Bryan does advocate it.
Why not pick out good republican
if democrat be not desired?
The truth seems to be that the
South lost its political sanity in the
year 1896 and never has regained it..
Evil communication with populists
and free silver fanatics has corrupted
the faith. Southerners still call
themselves democrats, but they are in
reality followers of false gods, and the
falsest of these is Mr.. Bryan.
Though it has sat long in darkness,
the South still refuses to come into
the light. Its name is Ephraim. 1t
is poined to the idols of the race pref
udice and intolerance. Let it alone

Col. John F. Miller. who retires
from the service of the Pennsylvania
company. perhaps has filed more po-
sitions than any man numbered on its
roll at the present time. Col Miller
never made a failure of anything he
ever undertook in the railroad SER

his labors. Few men in the Penn
