.RICHMoND's INVITATION. !"

With the above as caption, tn
/ Times Dispatch in a recent issue fol
lows with an editorial in which 1t in
Inmates that the Herald, in its opposi
ton to the removal Of Hampden
Sidney to Richmond, has been sun
fair TO that city and to the college
And pray tell Us in what does this un-
fairness consist? We said TO Rich
mond, "hands OFF, and nothing to the
college. But our worthy contempt
rary says, Richmond is only woOing
and not making war. And that's the
language of all the giants who for
decades gone have been crushing OPP
position selishly, mercilessly. "Come
into my parlor' says Mr. Rockefeller,
and i'm whisper, "if you don't come
in will pull you in"
Richmond didn't WOO and win
Union Seminary, but just bought it.
And as we have said before the pur-
chase has added nothing to the good
Of the institution nor to the glory Of
the God of the Church. We are told
that the Rockefeller millions are to
20 TO city schools already richly en-
dowed. Let the rich men Of Rich
mond rebuke this outrage by coming
to the relief Of the feeble institutions
of the country, remembering, as some
one has recently well said, the "city |
is only accumulatiye while the coun-
try is productive"
Hands Off Of Hampden-Sldney.
Let our little vineyard alone or come
and help US dress it.

UNION SEMINARY NEEDS MONEY

The Central Presbyterian is out in
another letter from the financial agent
of the Union Theological Seminary,
begging for more money. They need
a new building; they need 100000
to be added to the endowment
fund; they need $4,000 to pay
OIL the debt on the building fund; they
need to pay the salary and travelling
eXT enses Of the financial agent.
But what they need most i students.
As for the Macedonian cry that goes
up from the country for Presbyterian
pastors, and churches, and gospel
work-that can wait until Union
Seminary gets more money for build
ings and gets itself into thorough
harmony with the University OF Rich
mOnd.

Tom Lawson's "Friday the 18th"

Is that if is as true as it is terrific.

ordinary gambling dives while this

the manipulators rank high in church

In our opinion Mr.. Roosevelt as
President Of "all the people" would
give more satisfaction to a majority of
genuine Democrats tie country over

after the Bryan order, and William

Cabin had. We were amazed that the

and comfort to those negro preachers
Of Richmond who taking up the
senseless cry of the Philadelphia

to Virginia legislation, and against
Virginia's Constitution, against white
men controlling white mans country,

protesting against that which is for

and injury Of the South, and that the
South itself is even now being threat

Massachusetts, by the General Board
Of Education, and financed by John

to be done to prevent our

UNCLE SANS HIGH FINANCE

States coins between 100000 and 2.
900. 900 ounces of silver monthly. II
pays about 20 cents per ounce for the
silver and coins it and passes ii at
about si.20 per ounce. Now if an in
dividual was doing that kind OF work
he would be arrested. tried. convicted
and sent to the ~penitentiary.
How is it that what would be a crime
in an individual becomes a virtue when
done by a Government? OF course. it
will be said that it is merely token
money which the Government will re-
deem in gold, if desired. We under

Difficult for Undesirables

The new immigration laws. placing
numerous restrictions upon the incom.
iug of undesirable foreigners, went into
effect July l.. The most important
change brought about by these Acts
passed. is the increase of thehead tax
from 50 to 81. with the provision that
all over s., 000, 900 of the revenue so de-
rived will revert to the United States
Treasury instead of being entirely de.
voted to the uses Of the immigration
Bureau. Insomuch as the immigration
for the past two years has been over a
million annually, the income to be de-
rived from this source will be consider
able. Another provision makes the
steamship company subject to a fine of
500 for the transporting of physically
or mentally defective emigrants, or
those afflicted with loathsome or con-
tagious diseases.

WILL INVESTIGATE PROMOTERS
Prominent Stock Brokerage Firm Is
Charged With Crooked Work

Goldfeld, Nevada. June 20 -St1ck-
holders in the Mohawk Annex Nine to
the number Of 100 met Wednesday even
ing to inquire into the affairs of the
company. This company was one Of
the promotions Of the j. G. Kind Com
pany. who recently failed and went out
of business here. to open up again in
~pretentious quarters at Chicago.
The inquiry was started by Judge
r. S. Miner Of Mono County, Cal, a
large stakeholder in the Mohawk An
mex. and at the meeting Judge Miner
produced advertising matter issued by
the j. C. Kind Company. in which it is
claimed the affairs OF the company were
grossly misrepresented. The state
ment was made that the Mohawk An
mex was the holder Of a large piece Of
ground in the district. whereas in fact
the holdings of the company are
limited to a small triangular fraction
west of town.
The stockholders also claim that the
affairs of the mining company were
also misrepresented by the defunct
brokerage firm, in regard to the money
in the treasury, and the sale Of treas
ury stock. Five of the stockholders
were appointed to thoroughly investi-
gate the affairs of the Mohawk Annex
Company and also to investigate the
failure of the J. G.. Kind brokerage firm,
and if advisable. to bring criminal or
civil proceedings. The committee is as
follows: S. Thornton Langley, r. 5.

Saws Law Will Stand Test

Chairman Bartine Of the Nevada
Railroad Commission. in an interview
published in the Carson News. says
the Syphus Railroad law can only be
affected in part by the decision of the
Unitel States District Court, and that
the law will stand the test of all the
courts. If the maximum rates fixed by
the law are held to be too low by the
court. he a y that it would leave the
law just as if it had said nothing about
maximum rates. The law provides
that the holding Of IN part unconsti
tutional shall not invalidate any of the
other portions. The commission would
then have the power to fix reasonable
rates subject to the approval of the
court.

NEW TO-DAY.
To the Public
RENO, NEVADA, June %, 1907.

RENO, NEVADA, June 20, 1907.
Since my husbands death I have re-
peatedly tried to ascertain whether or
not his alleged shortage, with the Rail-
road Company, actually existed, for the
purpose of d~ischarging any obligation OF
his, and if the shortage did not exist to
clear his name of the charge.
1 made request of the Railroad Com
pany to allow an expert for me to go
over the books to ascertain where, when,
and how much Mr.. Cronant was short
in his accounts, and was advised by the
officers of the Company that they did
not deem it advisable to have an expert
go V the books, as M good could
come from such investigation.
Subsequently l borrowed of the
Washoe County Bank sufficient money
to pay in full the alleged shortage and
again asked permission to have the
Company's books exported for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the aforesaid facts.
To this requst the Railroad Company
consented ON condition that they name
the expert, with limitations upon his in
vestigation, and requiring that l place
1.-THE money in California to the order of
this expert to be paid the Railroad Com
pany ON the approval of the expert
chosen by the Company, of the claimed
shortage due it. 1t was further required
that l should pay the expert chosen by
the Company his fee of S25 per day and
expenses, with no limitation as to the
time the expert might be required to
do the work; in other words, the Com
pany named the expert, named his fee,
and required me to pay, upon such ex-
pert's approval, at a price prohibitive of
the employment.
l desire that the public should know
these facts, and know of the effort l have
made to ascertain the actual facts, and
the encouragement / have received from
the Company in these matters; and
knowing these facts let them judge of
the truth of the charges made against
Mr.. Cronant.
Ihave all the correspondence respect
ing this matter, and matters not con-
tanned in the correspondence can be
verified by Cheney, Massey & Price, my
attorneys, and by the officers of the
Washoe County Bank.

Investigation by Southern Pacific
Fails to- Show Private Sys-
tenn of Employees

San Francisco. June 29.-Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager L. E. CAL
win of the Southern Pacific Company
announces that a thorough investiga-
ton following reports that employees
had privately organized a system for
expediting movement Of freight over
Southern Pacific lines in return for
brides. has been completed, and shows
that there is no such organization.
In the great rush of business to the
Coast hundreds of cars at the eastern
foot of the Sierras are made up into
new and shorter trains to take over the
mountains. A few shippers. impatient
at the delay, who had been sending
men out on the line to find out about
their cars, it is claimed, bribed one Of
the men in the yards at Sparks, New,
who in making up trains could give
preference to certain cars instead of
following the rule that cars should be
taken out in the order Of their arrival.
The practice was not carried on ex-
tensively, but was confined to a few
shippers. There is no ring of employees.
and the guilty man has been summari-
ly discharged.
Vice President Calvin states that the
congested conditions along the Ogden
route have been greatly improved. and
the delay at Sparks. due largely to the
heavy washouts of the Spring and the
fact that the Southern Pacific had to
handle all of the Salt Lake roads bust
ness for two months, will from now on
be practically obviated.
