nous Anglo-Saxon, who dominates and
will ever dominate, politically, materi-

Mr. L. e. jarrett has rendered his
resignation as agent at the union depot,

Col. Ford Suggested V. Nj. I.
superintendent

The following special to the
Norfolk Landmark was sent out
from Lexington under date of Octo
Der 18th and will be read with
interest BY the people Of this com.
murity:
The announcement that the
Carnegie Foundation has literally
p, divided for General Scott Shiry
in the event of his retirement from
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute has set the
wiseacres talking as to who will
succeed General Ship. 1t Is be.
lieved by many that the General
will ask the Board of Visitors to
let his resignation take effect Jan
uary lst, 1907.
Colonel Henry G. Ford, professor
of English and Latin st the Jnsti
tute, and en- many occasions COM
n and' Mt Of the corps of cadets, is
well in the lead for the position of
superintendent, and is regarded as
the logical man for the place. He is
soldierly in bearing, high degree
man of the University of Virginia,
experienced in the manager emit of
students, and very popular. Col.
enel Ford is in the finest vigor of
early manhood, old enough 10 instil
respect and young enough to be at
the height OF activity and alertness.
He is the type of man who does
things. He is worker mo listless,
worker, but a worker of {
The aggressive, unrelentlng kind. 8
lie has deep and abiding faith in {
he usefulness of the institution. n
md burning ambition for its !
uccess. He has enterprise, con-
tructive ability and resourceful- q
ess. Colonel Ford is gifted with O
zen perception and sound judg I
lent. He is very careful and I'd
eliberative in forming his con 3
lotions and very tenacious of o
hem, once formed. q
Possibly the strongest thing to
e said in favor of Colonel Ford is h
rat he is familiar with conditions ot
the V. M. L. in every detail, is d.
lilly informed as to the causes of Is
aid conditions and peculiarly alive A
the Institutes needs. Likewise m
he in touch with modern educa- CO
onaI work and equipped with the
ic. and judgment to successfully
duct such innovations as are
eeded at the V.M.I. at this stage he
it's development. AS regards he
is work Colonel Ford will he M
'culiarly fit. on
With reference to hazing: Col fo
el FOrd's position On that ques- al,
IN is unqualified and uncompro- vi
sing. He is opposed to hazing of
DIN every point of view and it is r
belief of his friends that, should w,
succeed in SUPPLEMENTARY, he in,
'uld be resourceful and firm he,
ough to eliminate that most
yrettable custom. oot

is PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME
INADEQUATE?

From the frequency of published
reports of crime in various parts
OF the country persons not possessed
of optomistic temperaments might
be led to believe that crime is more
frequent than in other days. But
recollecting that the means of
gathering ard disseminating news
is more complete now than ever be-
fore, we must accept the state
ment of increasing violations of
the law with some degree of hes
itancy.
The fact remains, however, that
crime is present with us. The con-
dition of things in Roanoke but
recently had reached such an acute
stage that the mayor in a lengthy
message called the attention of the
City Council to several murders
lately committed in that city and
the murderers escaped. He cited
the habit of negroes in Roanoke
going armed, while the whites
respected the law and rarely were
before the police justice on serious
charges. The negroes, on the
other hand, under the influence of
intoxics nts and with pistols in
their pockets, were a menace to
lawabiding citizens of the COM 3
munity. h
From Alexandra comes the report +
of another murder by negro, max
ing the fifth one in that cOmmun-
ity within o year. In comment. q
ing on the tragedy the Alexandria
Gazette says: "Such a carnival G
of crime in a small community is 81
a sad reflection on our city, and - :.
calls for more than passing OBJ
servatiOn. The time has come 81
when large majority of negroes b
imagine a pistol necessary pocket o.
piece. Charged with cocaine and liz ",
1uor and with pistols in their pock- la
ets, certain negroes have become a eo
serious menace to the community" al
Even a staid town like Lexing- OF
on is not free from the chad ho
egiO," and like his brother in other W,
owns, he imBglnes that he has the
xclusive right to carry pistols and
azOrs and imbibe intoxicants.
'nly a couple of weeks ago one of ~
his class entered the home Of a
esident of Lexington after mid 49,
light and fed the premises when
iscovered in the bedroom of q
Dung girl. His plea was intoxica-
on. To the amazement of the -
when the case came to
ial he was acquitted. "A few years
20, on charge seemingly not as 49,
ave as this, another negro was -.
'nvicted and given five years in 1iS

'droom of lady of Lexington. liev
