A Mothers Protest
of the Times-DisnatcK.

Editor of the Times-DispatcK:
Sir,-There has been very full explana-
ton In our paper of the recent trouble at
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. which
resulted in the dismissal of Mr. William
Christian and two other young gentle
men. 1t Is surprising to me that no word
of protest has been uttered by the disin-
terested public do not know Mr.. Chris
tian or the other gentlemen involved. but
any injustice to boys. I also feel deeply
interested in our educational institutions
and, wish to see them governed by the
highest men, with the strictest sense of
fairness Naturally all parents have a
horror of sending their boys to any insti-
tuition where hazng is oountenanced, but
they would far rather risk some physical
discomfort than send boy where JUS
tice and a fair hearing Is denied him.
For board TO uphold the faculty at
the expense of the most Insignificant
confidence of tho public. When father
sends his son to any scholl or college 1t
is certainly with the idea that in any
difficulty that father can come before the
faculty and, at least have courteous hear
ing. That was denied to Judge Christian,
and In protesting against his treatment,
/ am protesting against the abrogation
of II mans most sacred duty-to defend
his child.
Virginians wish to educate their chill
dren In Virginia; let us see that our in
situations are so managed that we can
feel safe to send our children to them,
conscious that they will receive fair treat
ment. and their parents a proper con-
sderation, even If to do this 1t becomes
necessary to uproot the very foundations
of those institutions. r. A.

The Chicago Tribunes record OF lynch-
ings for 1905 shows that the number ior
the wear was sixty-six. The greatest
,nmber In any one State was In Mlssis-
,,npi. which had seventeen; Texas carae
next. with eleven, tying Georgia. Arkan-
,as was fourth, with five. The others
we're pretty well distributed throughout
,be Southern States where all but one OF
Mo sixty-six occurred. The single North

The crimes alleged were: Murder thirty
four: ntrocous assault, fifteen murder

lice. kidnapping, informing. while two
we're for unknown causes' and one inno-
,ent person was hanged.
The only palliating fac; is that the
number is the smallest since the year
1855. In only Two other years since 1885
we're they less than a hundred; in 1904
they were eighty-seven; in 1902 they
we're ninety-six
But the record is bad enough as 1t is.
and 1t is mortifyng that all the lynch
ings save one were in the South. We
do not know that the Tribunes figures
are correct, but we all know that lynch
ings are more frequent in the South

Quite SO. The fixed fact" is now

Knowles sums up the financial results
o: operation as follows:
The gas works have actually cost the

for the city and paid into tho treasury
between January /. 1867, and December
81, 1904, sl,oslG39.9S over and above every
dollar spent ON them. and in addition
have furnished gas for street lighting
and charity amounting to s1,65DGl419 at
current price rates. which the city would
certainly have had TO pay for had 1t
not owned its works. 1t does own its
gas works, and has it free OF debt at

sacred poems that touch the heart, in
spire hope, lift above the common things
of life and elevate the soul to the contem-
rlation of eternal glory. These old poems
are often familiar to men in middle lie,
but are now seldom heard In churches
where modern operate music takes the
lead. Such old poems as. "All Hat the
Power of Jesus Name, Let Angels Pros
trate Fall" breathe the very spirit of
love-, alteration and worship. Then the
old favorate of hfty years ago Jesus
Lover of My Soul is a poem that appeals
TO the heart, TO the hope; that Inspires
faith and kindles love.
