the spur OF the moment, the graduate OF
two universities was DISTINGUISHED.
The Times dispatch knows nothing OF
this case, but II this Mr.. Jones was dis
franchisod IN the way the Constitution
alleges, 1t was because he failed to take
advantage OF the remedy provided In The
Constitution itself. Tho understanding
clause of the Virginia Constitution is
contained in Section Of Article H., at
the conclusion OF which this provision
is made: ANY person denied registration
under this section shall have the right
to appeal to the circuit court of his
county, or the corporation court Of his
city. or to the Judge thereof in vacations"
If the Rev. Thomas J. Jones had gone
into court and satisfied the Judge TINT
he was competent to vote. All order would
have been entered commanding the regis
trar to enter Ills name upon the list Of
voters.
But the Constitutions article is other
wise misleading. Tho understanding
clause" OF the Virginia Constitution was
n temporary cxpodient ana was COLI
.,tinued in force for two years only. 1t
expired on December 81, 1903; and the
Constitution now provides for straight
educational qualification without dlscrimI-
nation an to race, color or previous con-
dtion OF servtude. Tic Understanding
clause" operated VOL In Virginia, and
served its purpose admirably, but hay
ing ACCOMPLISHED the object for which
It was designed, It has now been retired.

Judge SCOTS Chivalry.

Judging from the newspapers, the ar
rest and imprisonment of five marines
wearing the uniform of tho United States
in IIenrlco county has the most remark
HLle legal proceeding we have ever
known. 1t reminds US OF stories OF things
that are done in Mexico, Turkey and
Russia and that used to be done In
Cuba

venng a special court for Henrico and

committed them. Now 1t seems to US
that he should 20 further. Investigation
Is the order OF the day and some In

may do Il deal Of good.-Richmond News
Leader.
Judge Scott cannot he too highly COM
lncnded for the deep personal interest
lie took In this case. and for his prompt
md chIvalrous action In releasing the
marines from jail. lIe is Just tho man
to got at the bottom OF tho whole busi-
ness before he Is done with It.
Tho fault however, Is with tho Zee
System. SO LONG aa petty officers arc
dependent upon fees for livelihood, they
will be very industrious in searching
for business. And tho taxpayers pay

There will be demand fora graduated III

discourage crimes, whether Of high IL

Mr.. Bryan's Return.

The Democrats Of Missouri. In conVen-

ton demanding the nomination OF VIII
liam Jennings Bryan for President IN l9lS

to take similar action to-day IN IN.

Francis Secretary. OF H tho Interior in

OF tho sound money Democrats In his

ton that tie conservative wing OF the
party could now unite with the radical
wing In supporting Mr.. Bryan
Monday the newspapers printed an IN
teryiew with Timothy D. Sullivan, whose
power in Tammany Hall cannot be guess
TONED, endorsing Mr.. Bryan. 'Tammany
will fall in line to a man." ne SAID,
"and New York will send q solid delega-i
ton for Bryan to tho National Conven-
ton, headed by Richard Croker. ar
rnngements are being made to give Mr.
Bryan an enthusiastic reception when he
arrives In New York next August after
his tour around tho world. Governor
Folk. OF Missouri will be chairman OF the
reception committee. Mr.. Bryan's nome
coming is expected to mark the tormai
reconciliation of the two factions or the
Democratic party and to end the inter-
necine warfare which has been carried
on for ten years.
Mr.. Bryan was never more securely
astabual.ed IN the leadership OF the
Democracy than he has been curing MS
absence from the country. IT would be
an extraordinary event In national poll
tics IL the return OF tho man who helped
divide the Democratic party ten years
ago should be the occasion FOR the reunion
OF It's warning clements, but nothing IS
so strange that It may not happen N

reported to have said: ut is time to call

The Editorial "We."

Rev. Frank Williams, the new editor of
the Cecil fAId) Wing, writes the follow
ing interesting editorial: II beg to an
nounce the disappearance from these
columns OF the editorial we. Why should
ii remain? The essayst says IT, the
orator says t. Why shouldn't the editor
say I'?"
Mr.. Williams is wrong. The opinion
OF q modern newspaper is not the opn-
ion of one man. except 1t be that the
paper Is the personal organ Of an iltdl-
vidual. Every newspaper of character
and influence must have at It's head q
man OF chrueter and influence to direct
It's general policy, But, after all. tho
opinion Of the paper is largely the COM
positc opinion of the editorial staff. Every
new question OF Importance Is discuss
ed In conference and 1t often happens
that an editorial Is q sort OF mosaic,
cmbodyIhg thoughts. suggestions and
even expressions from every man on
the staff. 1t Is this combination OF forces
that gives character and energy to the
opinions of q newspaper. that d!fferen-
t!ates It from tho opinion OF an Sindl-
v!dual aud that Justlilos the Eve to
which the prcacher-cdtor objects. How
ever, the term Is provincial and has in
great part been disregardcd by the mod
ern press, In Its steady tho name OF tho
paper Ia used, But the we" Is always
implied for u newspaper Is an Institution
OF combined personalities.
