Southern Education.

The Norfolk Landmark, which repre-
sants the best of Southern sentiment III
eli matters of public concern, says:
,rho Richmond Times Dispatch has been
even more reluctant than The landlnaT"
~ ,,o,irvn the Ogden movement dangerous
IN the south though our own Icluctai'cc
has been great; but The Times-Dlspatch
cannot stand the announcements IN COZ

! our contemporary, like the independent

| I'VE shall never consent that Southern

and ethics
| Amen!
The Times Dispatch was never afraid
! of the Ogden movement per Sc,
we attended some of the con-
ferences, we met representative cd
ucators from the North, and We
have never doubted that the movement
was inspired by an earnest desire to &c
good. We are fully convinced, more
over, that it, has been of great serVlc'
10 the South. 1t has stimulated our OWL
educators and friends of education. am
it has given the Northern contingen
much valuable instruction touching con
dit!ons in the South.
The Times Dispatch has no regret tina

that he had profound respect for Southern
views ana traditions IN $tat connection.
But that was enough -r Tho Times
Dispatch. 1t did not propose to put 1T
self In tho position of explaining the
Northern view aud npologizing for 1t; and
so Tho Times Dispatch withdrew without
further ado There was no occasion to
throw nts, however and we did nothing
more than to state tho fact. But when
1t was recently announced that the Gem
cral Education Board proposed to use
tho Rockefeller donations to, "civillze the
South" and to direct the character of ed"
ucation In the South, the situation became
sncute, and The Times Dispatch lost no
time in putting itself ON record and Its
readers on notice. We have always pro-
tested against having the negroes OF the
South educated according TO the Northern
view. Much more arc we opposed to
having the education OF tho white children
directed by Northern sentiment. We can
imagine no greater calamity to the South
than that its colleges should be subsi-
died by Northern money. We welcome
the friendly corporation of the North, as
manifested in the conferences for
Southern education; but II 1t should
assume the spirit and form Of dictn-
ton we would turn away as from an
Infection.
We are frank to say, however, that
from our knowledge Of the men of the
North who direct the affairs Of tho Cen
era Education Board, wo do not believe
that they would insult any college In the
South by Offering it a gift with any COM
promising conditions attached. There are
Southern men on the board and it Is Ger
tain that they would not be party to
such a transaction. But even If taintea
gift should be offered, we have no feac
that any decent Southern college would
receive it, and so The Times Dispatch is
giving itself no serious concern. Its
only purpose is to put the colleges on
guard-out Of abundant caution.

The Mann Law.
Of me Times-Disputch

Editor OF The Times-Dispatch:
Sir.--1. Please give ME correct in
formation as to the proportion OF
legal voters required upon the petit
ton of Il saloon keeper for license TO
sell liquor in Virginia.
9. Has the Mann law ever been amend-
cd? If so, what is the effect of same?
3. Must saloon be under the protec-
ton of corporate police?
A. Can a saloon keeper be indicted for
selling to minor over the phone?
5. In case of petition for or against
a saloon, who, in the eyes of the law.
would be accounted legal voter?
c. If petitions both for and against the
opening of saloon are brought into
court and the Same persons names ap-
pear on both petitions. what course must
the court take in regard thereto?
a SUBSCRIBER.
/. The law does not require petition
of voters, either for or against the grant
ing Of liquor license, but does provide that
''it shall further plainly appear to the
satisfaction OF the court that majority
of the qualified voters OF the district or
town in which the privilege is sought to
be exercised arc in favor of the applica-
ton etc Hence petitions are usually
resorted to, as evidence OF the sentiment
of the voters.
q What is commonly called the Mann
law is section 141 of the revenue law, and
! this section has been amended severa
1 times, the provision above quoted being
an amendment. Another amendment is
i that the sale of ardent spirits at the
place will not be contrary to a sount
public policy or injurious to the morals
or material interest of the community,
The effect of these and other amendment.
has been to render more difficult obtain.
| ing license for the sale Of liquor.
| 8, Protection need not be by corporal,
police," but may be by police paid b.
the public
4. Yes.
5. "Qualified voters means such as ar,
duly registered and who have paid tn
poll tax required by law.
6. The court should not consider tn,
names of voters who sign petitions boil
for and against the granting of license.

Rockefeller and the Colleges.


The point made by the News was
absolutely without reference to South
ern colleges, save as they are embraced
in the general class of such institu-
lions throughout the country. Nor was
any purpose evinced by us to reflect
dsparagingly in tho slightest degree
upon the management of institutions
of learning as now existing. But The
Times Dispatch knows that the strong
est voices that have yet been heard
in defense Of Mr., Rockefeller and his
methods have proceeded from the pre-
cncts of institutions which have been
the recipients of Standard Oh money
and very probably such beneflcence Is
to-day represented by Standard Oil
securities. Now we maintain that un-
der like conditions tins character OF
history may repeat itself with other
colleges. The influence OF money
works in subtle manner, III insidious
channels often, but always with power

vigor of It's material life upon an Inn
pure financial source. and 1T relies
upon that which will almost Inevitably
breed 1t great poril. It will do so

stitutions are all Unconscious OF the

fluttcred forth all day on the great
screen the moving picture of the poor
monomaniac and IA baby-how he found
her, cnticed her, cnjoled her, and finally
tor her to his lair, prepared her for
the table, and ate her up"
What was the outcome? Some said
that the picture was too shocking for
the public to see; some would not look
on it themselves, nor allow the mem
bers of their family to soc it. But

Perlitence and Punishment.

(Selected for The Times-Dispatch)
Because thou hast forgotten the God
of thy salvation and hast not been
mindful of the rock of thy strength,
therefore shalt thou plant pleasant
plants and shalt set it with strange
slips: in the day shalt thou make thy
plant to grow. and In the morning thou
shalt make thy seed to flourish; but
the harvest shall be a heap in the
day of grief and of desperate sor-
row."--Isa. xvii. 10-11.
That is the loss we all have to mourn.
Why do we grieve over the mercst

our spiritual loss and heart alienation

We print to-day letter from Major
"A f. venable. Jr., following one from
AR. Robert X. Brock, printed yester-
day, on the removal of Hampden- Sid
ney College to the neighborhood OF
Richmond, to become q factor in the
proposed University of Richmond. Both
of our correspondents are grieved and
incensed at the suggestion Of convert
ing the vacated buildings OF Hanlpden-
Sidney College, in case of its removal
Into a theological or other sort or
school for colored Prcsbyterians. The
foundation OF this suggestion was got
ten from a report in The Times-Dis-
patch some days ago, in which the
reporter said he got it from some
prominent Presbyterian, and it has
no other founda ton whatever that we
know OF or believe to exist. We can
state authorltatively that Mr. Joseph
Bryan never heard of it until he read
it in The Times-Dispatch. lie does not
even know who proposed the idea No
plan for the disposition Of lIampden-
Sidney College buildings could be more
injurious to the whole scheme he has
ut heart than this one, which would
consolidate the friends OF that noble
old college against the proposed Uni
yersity of Richmond
OK 1t is greatly to be deplored that an,
such suggestion was ever made. j
ought to be enough for the friends q
