A Friend IN NEED.

AT last Newport News has found Il
friend and valuable ally in the mat
ter of advertising in connection with
the jamestown Exposition. With the
publicity department OF the EXPOSE
ton continually and persistently do
ing all in its power to advertise Nor
folk to the exclusion of all the rest of
Underwater. and various private enter
prises Of the city across the Roads,
naturally enough, following the same
course, Newport News and the other
communities on the Peninsula have
been sadly in need of support In their
efforts to let the world know that we
arc on the map.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad is
our friend In time of need. With its
eastern terminals located here, the
Chesapeake & Ohio is about as much
interested in Newport News and vi
cinity as the people of the Peninsula
themselves. It. was to be expected,
therefore. that the company would
give us what the Exposition company
promised, but has never given--a fair
deal
For months the Chesapeake & Ohio
has been making preparations for
handling great crowds during the eX-
position period. Its plans probably
have been more extensive than those

MICS combined, and If President Stew
ems hopes are fulfilled n large por-
ticn of all the people who come from
the west to visit the Tercentennial
will make the trip directly to New
port News over the Chesapeake 4
Ohio
In sending out its Autographs and
literature. the railway company has
been duly considerate of Newport
News and the Peninsula generally. We
are given just little better than a
fair deal, but when the treatment
accorded this side of the Roads by the
Exposition Company and Norfolk is
taken into consideration, no one has
right to protest
On the Autograph maps sent out by
the Chesapeake & Ohio passenger de-.
partment, Newport News Old Point,
Hampton and Phoebus are shown d.
rectly across the Roads from the EX.
position grounds. Norfolk and Ports
mouth are shown In their respective
places on Elizabeth river, and it must

bit distant from the fair grounds. and

Is shown UP the river from Newport
News and the route OF the Chesa-
peake & Ohio to Cincinnati and Louis
VILE is given. The upper portion of
the map is condensed SO as to bring
in Washington. Baltimore, Philadel.
phia and New York, and show the
connections with the Chesapeake &
Ohio from each of these cities.

PROTEST WORSE THAN USELESS

PROTEST WORSE THAN USELESS
We are sorry to learn that some Of
the white ministers of the city intend
to call upon Mayor Buxton today TO
lepd the support of their influence TO
the protest which n number of ne.
sroes will make against the presen.
tation of THE Clansman" at the Acad.
emy of Music next week
Without discussing the merits or
dement's of the play, or its tendency
to stir up racial strife, we are free to
say that these protests that are made
In nearly every city In which THE
Clansman" Is presented accomplish
no good. and probably do harm. In
the first place. Mayor Buxton has no
right to interfere with performance
at the Academy unless he has good
reason to believe that 1t is so indecent
us TO come under the ban of the law
on that score, or is calculated to
bring on real racial. trouble i'm the
community. This being the case, a
useless protest simply serves to ac-
centuate any harm that the perform
ancc might do. Negroes who will not
see the play and who. perhaps, would
not otherwise have known that IL was
to be presented, will have feeling OF
resentment engendered in them and
say, and very probably believe, that
an indignity has hcen hcaDed unon
their race by the mayor and munich,
pal authorities, as well us by the Rev.
Thomas Dixon.
Any talk on the part of the negroes
VIII ,as 1t never fails to do, serve to
arouse the white people more thor
oushly than n hundred performances
of THE Clansman" or any other play.
Uncle Toms Cabin" has been
played here again and again and no
one has thought of protesting against
1t. Yet surely no one would claim
that Uncle Toms Cabin" did not
come under the head Of plays calcu.
lated to inspire hatred between the
races.
Lastly, the proposed protest Is silly
because 1t is as fine an advertising
scheme as was ever devised by a
press agent. Probably no one is so
well pleased with the action of the
negroes MS tho manager of "The
Clansman"

The Revival

Fitzgerald's first genuine revival
of religion is now in progress. The
powerful sermons of evangelist T..
M. Christian, for nearly two weeks
have stirred up the hearts and
consci ences of a large number of the
people of this city, among them
many of the leading business men
and others, who by reason of their
standing among their fellows, are
leaders and WELD strong influ-
ence in the community.
The size of t h congregation
which usually OvertioWs the audi
forum of the Central Methodist
Church, is perhaps the least i'm
portant feature of each service.
The sermons are brave and the
preachers influence wonderful.
The cooperation of the pastors Of
nearly all the other churches bring
together a union congregation.
The song services, under the dlrec-
ton of MI. Hamp Sewell, prepares
the congregation for the sermons,
and they respond to the admonl-
tiou and appeals of the preacher III
no uncertain way.
Fitzgerald has neededa stirring
up of this kind the eleven years OF
her existence.
We have astonished ourselves
and the balance of the state with
our wonderful commercial progress
and material growth and it would
not be more strange if we took the
lead in spiritual affairs and set the
pace for ou1. neighbors. A chris
tan Fitzgerald would be a wonder
and would be the greatest invest
uent after all for our business PEG
pie who are so accustomed to doing
big things for the city's material
intereStr.
