= That is the greeting of the capital
III the Confcdcracy to the veterans OIL
the Confederate armies who gather
here to-day for their annual reunion.
When the enemy encompasscd Rich-
1nond, these veterans stood on the out
posts ready, If need be, to sacrifice thclr
lives in her defense, and then and there
especially displayed that courage, chlv-
airy and nobility which SO distinctiyely
chnra cterized the Confederate soldier
and made him the admiration of the
world. 1t is many years since that
heroic struggle. Times and situations
have changed. A new generation mas
come, and Richmond is transformed
city, vigorous, progressive and pros
porous. There are few signs OF the
wars devastations. In the place OF
charrcd walls, there are great build
ings Of commerce and industry and
comfortable homes for the people.
There are few reminders, save the
sacred mounds in her cemeteries and
the monuments to Confederate heroes
which adorn her public squares. But
Richmond is the same in her admra-
ton for the Confedcrates; in her VEN
Grafton for the Lost Cause; in her
gratitude to the boys in gray who were
her sentinels, and her protectors from
ler doors, and her loving arms. to
every man of them, no matter what his
station In life; no matter what his
wealth or poverty, to-day he is hero
In our sight; he stands head and Shout
hcrs above the masses, he Is q prince
IT. Israel, and our city Is his to COM

Richmond is one great Confed-
crate camp, and may the bivouac

GOV. yAnDAMAN's :ouTDRnAK.

SONs4l " tANDsAhEAA> w
Governor vardaman, Of Mississippi,
Is such an arrant dcma goguc that few
of his public utterances are taken seri-
ously by the general public. and when
he speaks he usually brings himself
into ridicule Merely because he WAS
elected by the white voters Of Missis-
sippi, it Is wrong to infer that they
countenancc his violence Of speech and
rudeness Of manner, and. like their
IL eighbors in other Commonwealths,
who have often suffered by reason OF
the elevation Of some charlatan, they
bear the burden as best they may,
realizing that wisdom and common
sense were unfortunately thrown to
the winds when the choice was made
at the polls
In an interview Governor Vardamnn
explains, or attempts to explain, why
he declined to join in with the Gov
errors Of other Southern States in an
Invitation extended to President Roose-
Welt to make the journey down the
Mississippi River with the members
of the Inland Waterways Commission.
Tho development of the rivers Of the
South so that they may become more
navigable is matter close to the
hearts Of the business people. They
are vitality interested in the movement.
i They believe that the work may be
4 greatly advanced and success assured
TX, 1,r
appropriations by Congress- and for
that reason they were DESTROYS that
he should understand the needs Of each
| section. That was the business end
of the proposition.
t But aside from that tho President OF
the United States should always be &C.
corded courteous treatment. He has
r rec eived it generally from our people
q and the citizens of Mississippi are no
!, the kind to indorsc the sentiments O
a political marplot. The doughty Gov
: ernor gives these reasons for his con
duct:
Cd Because II do not b elicvo in tn,
, modern tendency to make the Presiden
0 the whole government; (2) because
: Il do not know of anything In his (th
, Presidents) training or accomplish
: ments that would make his views a
/ to the practicability of this great en-
4 terprise more valuable than the view
of any other fairly sensibl man.; an,
/ go because II think it Is very mucl
&c more important that the President 0
n the United States should be urged t
, remain within thcslimits Of this con
i stitutional sphere of action"
The Governor Of Mississippi canno
ii justify his attitude by such churlis
f. explanations. He is rude man, VIII
u loves notoriety, and who cannot hop
Id to obtain It without resorting to tn
as methods of the demagogue that he il
70, There is comfort in the thought, how
70 ever, that he stands in a hopeless mi
10 nority. and that the people who py

THE FOLLY OF RAILROAD MEN


IT. is difficult for some railroad man
ayers to learn their lesson. Among
these arc tho managers of tho Reading
Railway Company. Recently tho Lcgis-
laturo Of Pennsylvania passed n bill
reducing all passenger fares IN that
State to two-cent basis. Tho act
will DO tested In the courts and IS not
yet operative, but as soon as tho Dill
was passed tho Reading ut once adj
vanced the rates over It's suburban
lines. AS a result there Is great indiE-
nation, and various business associn-
lions in Philadelphia have condemned
the road for, It's antlclpatory action.
Ono of them adopted a resolution APP
pealng to oil citizens upon whom the
burden falls to patronize the trolley
lines as far as possible. It Is said that
the appeal has been heard with willing
ears and that the Reading Is fast losing
patronage.
If the management had waited for
the act to become operative, 1T could
have made the reasonable plea that a
read justment Of rates was necessary
that rates which were lower than two
cents a mile had to be raised In order
to compensate for a reduction OF rates
that were higher. But to raise tho
lower ratio before the higher was re-
duced had the appearance Of defiance
and spite, and the resentment Of the
patrons is aroused accordingly. The
Readings officers should have learned
long ago that it is a dangerous thing
and the poorest sort Of policy to dety
the public The good will of the peo-
ple is as necessary to tho success or 9
railroad as to any other business en-
terprise.
