Need Of An Auditorium.

We are glad to see that the Richmond

tions IL we had such n building. The

seats comfortably only from LOO to 1,i0o.
We have for some years been urging
that the Southern Baptist Convention
meet here in 1907. the year of the James
town Ter-Centenary, and the suggestion
has met with well nigh universal favor.
Within few months the convention Will
meet and we sincerely hope that plans
for the new auditorium will by that time
be so far advanced that we can offer
to the convention a suitable building for
It's sessions. We venture also to suggest
that II such building is erected In
Richmond, the work may be done under
the supervision Of thoroughly conlpe-
tent and experienced architect There
is nothing quite so exasperating as n

Scarcely a periodical nowadays fails
to devote a quota Of pages to trusts, but
1t would be hard to find more signiil-
cant and convincing commentary on the
structure of modern industries than Mr..
Sinclair has produced in The Jungle
In no sense a novel. it is the faithful
narrative of the workingman In Chicago,
beaten and broken by the callous hand
of the employer, and probably the only
bit OF effect that the author allows him
aman, Jurgis, the mouthpiece for his
'arraignment. 1t is in the packing houNs
of Chicago, the home OF the beef trust,
that primitive and buoyant young SiaN
first gets a taste OF the forces he has to
fight, and has the edge taken off his
ardor and enthusiasm. He sees men. fell
low workmen, squeezed dry OF their VI
tally and then cast out like refuse. He
sees men working In freezing cellars In
chemicals and acids that eat filthy sores
wherever they touch, or else butchering
gangrenous and diseased cattle for the
public breakfast. Still others he sees
fall in the cooking vat. never to appear
again save as pure leaf lard. He sees
his young wife die In squalor. after los

in the way of socialism. which he seizes
eagerly. and with something to believe

His attitude Is rather one OF repression.
Still less does he follow many so-called
realists In making squalid details unnec-
esarily offensive
