CONDITIONAL GIFTS TO COLLEGES.


The Times Dispatch has nothing to
do with the attitude Of tho Virginia
Methodist Conference towards the
Randolph. Macon system of colleges.
i but we have pleasure In expressing
our hearty approval of the manly
speech on that subject by the Rev. DR..
=. r. I.ipscomb. He declared that for
/ his part. he would not be placed in the
\ position of playing fast and loose with
the conference and the Carnegie Foun-
dation.
/ eve go to Mr.. Carnegie" said he,
"for Carnegie money as undenomlna-
tional. We come to conference for
support and patronage as a Methodist
Institution. If this continue the board

Bravo! say we. DR.. Lipscomb has
laid down a broad principle which ali
high minded. independent Virginians
will applaud. They are deeply inter-
csted in the subject of education
and are glad to receive honorable gifts
from any honorable source. But they
will never consent to make humlliat-
ing compromises and CONCESSIONS for
money. They will not surrender their
traditions, nor allow outsiders to die
tate the principles. policies or meth
DDS OF their schools, in exchange for
endowments, no matter how rich the
gifts may be. Better thousand times
that our schools should be poor-bet-
ter that they should so down--than
that they should be made the crea-
lures and playthings OF men who are
out OF tune with Southern sentiment
and who mock at Southern instincts.
We resent with more OF indignation
than we care to express these Of
fers which come from rich men OF the
North to institutions of the South with
their inevitable conditions attached
They. arc like subsidy. They have
the flavor of commercialism. They sug-
sess the ssbtle transaction of the Penn
sylvania' Railroad by which it bought
controlling voice in the management
of the Norfolk and Western and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. Our colleges
must be saved from all such deals.
These remarks are to be taken ir
general sense and are not meant
to apply extensively to Randolph
Macon. nor to the many men and wo'
men at the North who have shown {
genuine friendly interest in Southern
colleges. They apply to the rich auto
Gratis who give for a consideration
whose gifts always have a string t.
them. We despise all such tainted
gifts and hope that Southern college!
will invariably reject them.

Tried and FoundWanting.
From the Cecil Democrat.

In 1895 the Republicans elected the
Governor and the House of Delegates,
practically securing control of the entire
State government. This was brought
about by large number of Independent
Democrats, who were not pleased with the
leaders of their party and disapproved of
both men and methods. In order to ac-
complish that which they were pleased to
call reform, they joined with the Repub-
licans and placed that party in power.
How long did it stay in power?
Just four years, one gubernatorial term
At the end of that time the people of the
State, Independent Democrats and all,
were SO thoroughly disguised that in 1899
the Democratic candidate for Governor and
a Democratic Legislature were elected by
large majorities,
If the Republicans had never been Civ
en- trial in this State, they might claim
that they could give US even better govern
ment than the Democrats excellent
though that be- But unfortunately for
them the record is against them They
were taken at their word and the oppor-
tunity was given them to make good their
promises and declaration.
That they failed, and failed most
miserably, is shown by the record they
made in those four years, and the proof of
it is found in the fact that they were
promptly turned out and the reins of
government again placed in the hands of
the Democrats where they properly belong
The people who placed the Republicans
in power in 1895 would have retained them
if they had given good account of their
there stewardship, but the weak administra
ton Of Governor Lowndes, the disgusting
scramble by the Republican House of
Delegates for ''grapes as one of them
called it, and the impudence, aggressive
ness and conspicuousness of the negro,
settled it, and the Republican were rele-
gated unceremoniously to the rear.
What ground have they now to ask
that they be again placed in power? The
two Democratic administrations that have
succeeded the Republican fasco of 1896
1899 have been of the highest order of exell-
euce, and the condition of the State is such
that it must meet with approval of every
citizen and should be the pride of all
Why then should these same people
who proved to be so incompetent and un-
worthy eight years ago, and who are now
under the absolute domination of such
men as Mudd and Jackson, be given pre-
ference over those whose record is clean
and honest and who have placed Mary
land in the highest rank as well and
wisely governed State.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER Is. 1907
Republicans Preparing for Defeat.
From the baltimore Sun.

Our Republican friends in this city are
going even farther than usual in shouting
fraud this year. Not content with the
arrest of four registration officers, two Of
them Republicans, Chairman Platt solemn
ly announces that he will have the count
of the ballots carefully watched on election
day. The Republicans have the same
number of registration officials i'll every
precinct as the Democrats, aud the same
number Of judges of election, and both
their registration officers and their Judges
are selected by the committee of which
Mr.. Platt is chairman. And yet, after
selecting these men to protect the Re
publican party, the committee that selected
them is accusing two of them of cheating
the party they were appointed to protect
and represent, and virtually declares 1t has
no confidence in its own election judges.
Is there no one the Republicans can
trust? They are always charging the
Democrats with cheating or with intent to
cheat, and now they have taken to accusing
each other. What good will new election
laws do such party if they cannot rely
upon their men to execute them honestly?
Whom can the Republican party in this
State trust? 1t seems they cannot trust
their voters to select their own candidates,
and now if Republican officials cannot be
trusted to deal fairly with their own party,
then the party had better put the shutters
up and 90 out of business. In point Of
fact, if the Republicans get cheated in the
conduct of the registration or OF the cleo
ton it is their own fault. The much
abused extra session Legislature of 1901,
in revising the election law, reserved to
the dominant party not one sclntilla OF ad-
vantage in the registration or in the count
ing of the vote. In every registration
office and in every election booth in the
State the TWO parties are on exact parity.
Each party is represented by two men, and
selected by the parties themselves. Not
ono name can 90 on the registration books
without the consent of at least one bona
fde representative of each party. Could
anything be fairer? Is it just to say that
party that left this provision and safe
guard against fraud or partisan advantage
in the Laws it just to say that such a
party has no principle except to cheat at
elections, as Mr.. Bonaparte declares?
These provisions of the law could have
been changed in 1901 as easily as the
form of the ballot was changed, and yet
it was not done.
One thing that the Republican party in
this State stands sadly in need of is a
little sporting blood, 1t ought to take
Roosevelt advice and be "a dead game
sport 1t has had sufficient discipline to
teach it this lesson, but it cannot learn.
At State elections the Republican
committee always looks forward to defeat
with so much confidence that they begin
to accuse Democrats of fraud long in
advance, and even their own people Of
cheating them weeks before the election.
When you are beaten, take your beating
like man, and don whine. Then peo
pie will respect you.

A Waste of Good English.

Bobby's mother was often distressed by
her small sons lapses from correct speech,
all the more because his reports from
school were always so good.
"Bobby," she said, plaintively, one
day, "why do you keep telling Major to
set up when you know sit up is what
you should say
"Oh, well, mother" Bobby answered,
hastily, "of course | have lots of grammar,
but don't like to waste it on Major when
he doesn't know the difference, being a
dog"

THE EARTH's CRUsT.-The Valparai-
so earthquake, following so quickly
the catastrophe at San Francisco, has
raised the fear in many peoples minds
that the crust of the earth is crumb-
ling away, says Tit-Bits. II that were
so we might all be precipitated some
day into the molten interior. Fortu-
nately, science Is able to set our minds
at rest on this point. The quakes,
however great, are merely slight rear
rangements Of the comparatively thin
shell, and instead Of crumbling away,
this shell must gradually thicken and
grow firmer.
First there Is the question Of weight.
From soundings Of the oceans, and
measurement Of their area, 1t is calcu-
lated that the waters Of the earth
weigh 1900, 900, 600, 900, 100000 tons,
The land above the sea-level weighs
0ne-fifth Of the water, or 100000, ,000,-
O00,000,000 tons.
This weight alone. is inconceivably
great: but If we add, now, the weight
Of the solid crust below sealevel, which
Is believed to average ten miles in
thickness, we get total weight Of H.
200, 900, 900, ,OOO, 1000, 900 tons.
The mind cannot grasp these fig
ures. but when it is said that the
crushing effect Of this great weight
aided by the pressure Of the atmos-
phere, is thirty times the force needed
to grind the hardest steel into powder,
we can believe 1t.
