newspapers? L have always. .r~efratncd
from taking OIL active part on the pie
track for certain and painful reasons,
which you aptfy express in the follow
ing lines taken from this mornings
editorial on the subject:
Tho pies Of old Virginia need. and
will receive, no exploitation here. They
have stood for centuries In a class al
together by themselves"
The first sentence is explained by
the second. "Exploitation'' was impos.
sible. These pies, Judging from local
samples and certain ones to be found
in a certain restaurant OF Main Street
Richmond, have unquestionably stood
for centuries" and will. continue to
stand as long as man lives. but un-
fortunately stand below the (pie)
belt Hoping this calculation Of pie
claims may be Of service to you in any

Texas or Boston pies, as they are nov

IT wAsN.T 4. VIRGINIA rIE.

%Skepticism is unhappily eager i'll this
s~o-called enlightened age of ours. In
another column we print n letter from
ia British ~gastronom!st who essays fu-
tlicly to combat the pie-pcrfection of
Old Virginia. To our modest assertion,
founded on the well-autllenticated
facts of history; that Virginia pies
have stood for centuries in q class BY
themselves, he attaches a sinister. not
to say a wicked, significance. He i'm
plies that many Virginia pies have, in
deed, stood for centuries, not as a class.
blu, as individuals. He hints that. at
one of Richmond's justly renowned res.
t%aurants, he once cndeavored to bite
a pie which had, alas, too evidently
stood for centuries. And he hastily
concludes. 1t seems. that while the Old
Virginia pie is superior. indeed, to the
dark and dangerous products of lesser
States. 1t is not the exquisite thing
which we Virginians have asserted
1t to be.
All OF which shows admirably how
unsafe it is to spring too hurriedly to
conclusions. Those Of us who are ia
miliar with the economic history of
Virginia understand perfectly why
"Englishman" met the misadventure
which he describes with such restrain
ed pathos. Pie-making Is but a small
part OF the vast industry Of Virginia.
Engrossed as she is in mighty bust
ness enterprises and in the filling OF
her marvellous soil, she can give but
little time to the manufacture of her
glorious pastry. Her gigantic COM
merce is not to be slackened for the
sake of mere stomachic ecstacy. There

ginia pies, nowadays, constantly

There Is no such thing as an unim-
portant election. Every election which
is held to choose public servants is an
election of Importance: and whether

should give an account of them
selves at the polls. if for no better
reason than to show the candidates
and professionals that they are on
8 guard and that they are mindinS their

Z ernment is Indifference on the part
OF voters. The politicians are always
on the alert and the peoples negli-

Every voter is always under obli-
cation to vote. 1t is an obligation
which follows the privilege. as the
shadow follows the substance. Bes
