was corrupt; suppose Hartman ought
to have known that he cotlld NOT hone

President; suppose the axiom that lie
who eats with the devil needs a long
spoon is invariable. where does Mr..
Roosevelt stand? Is he unsmirched?
Are his skirts clean, and is his record
for fair dealing even with outIawed
predatory wealth unsullied?
The Times Dispatch holds no brief
for Hartman and his ilk. and gives
Mr.. Roosevelt full credit for the SER
vices he has rendered in curbing the
excuses of the rich and hitherto UNI
bridled corporations; but were his acts
in this matter the result of principle
or only politics.? Will the man who
broke faith with Hartman remain
fmmovably faithful to the people?
The glamor of his name and the at
traction of his personality are still
strong upon the people; but lot Of
hard thinking is being done. and the
people go wrong very seldom when

A PRAYER TO THE cor,NcY,

The Council of Richmond is hereby
requested and urged to set aside one
road within the city limits upon which
automobiles will not be permitted 70
run during certain hours of the day,
say from to 8 o'clock P. M.
This petition is offered on behalf of
many respectable men and women who
like to take quiet drive in the cool
of the evening without fear of the
Jussernaut; and it seems to us to be
entirely reasonable. Aside from me
annoyance and Inconvenience OF meet
ing an automobile at every turn. there
are timid women who find no pleas
ure or recreation in driving because
of their dread of nccident-either from
being struck by a passing "machlne,"
or of having the horse frightened.
We commend them and all others
| who have not contracted the automo-
1 bile habit to the tender consideration
| ready been set by the ordinance ex-
Guiding auto cars from the elevated
road around the reservoir.

ton will gain the commentator Of

RICHMOND AS A CONVENTION CITY.
Four national organizations were in
session in Richmond yesterday in an
nual convention. This, we believe, is
unprecedented in the history OF any
Southern city, and is fact worthy of
note and record. But 1t is nothing
strange, for Richmond is now recog-
niZed as one or the great convention
cities of the nation.
Richmond is accessible and possesses
hotel and auditorium accommodations
| equaled by few and excelled by no
cities of her class. Her historic asso-
| Citations give her a certain prestige
| which places her in the front rank OF
american cities of interest" She Is
peculiar in that, although she is the
/ capital of her State she is the largest
city, and also one OF the most impor-
tant industrial commercial and finan-
cial centres in the South.
/ Richmond ia very proud to entertain
cour national organizations at once,
and to all distinguished guests at
.! tending such gatherings she extends a
cordial welcome.

THE CONSTITUTION.

Not the least among the educational
features of the Jamestown Exposition
are the speeches which are made from
time to time by leading citizens on
public questions of moment. and ii NAV
be remarked just here that the
speeches have taken a wide range and
have presented a great diversity off
views.
sOn Saturday last President Edmund
j: james. of the University of Illinois.
delivered an Grafton. in the course of
which lie said that the present Con-
stitution is inadequate to enable the
nation TO solve the many pressingl
problems relating TO our society, in
s dustry and politics. and boldly pro-
claimed in favor of a convention to
revise that time-honored instrument.
Yesterday at the same place Judge
Alton b. Parker declared that 1.-THE
governmental scheme of the fathers
has been equal to every necessity
which has arisen. and, judging by the
past, we see that it will be equal to
every emergency likely to confront,
our country,
But whether so or not. Judge Parker
made manly protest in the name of
Democracy against. the nlodern doc
trine of President Roosevelt Senator
Eeveridge and others. that the Consti-
tuition is to be stretched, by interpreta-
ton or otherwise. so as to enhance
the powers of the Federal government
at&the sacrifice of the reserved rights
.ofsfthe States. He held, and all Demo-
Gratis hold with him, that If the Con-
stitution is to be changed, ii must be
done by amendment in the way pro-
not by forced Interpretation to suit
the occasion. In this connection Judge
Parker quoted from, President Roose-
yelt's speeches, and Manner the people
against the danger ofS.the teaching
and preaching of the President and the
school of New Federalists" which he
represents; and urged that those OPP
posed to such views should sacrifice
any party feeling and interest, and en-
ter the lists as open champions Of
our constitutional system in its in
tegrity.
Sooner or later they will do so, and
there will be new party alignment.
