AMHERST REVIVAL

Quoting a Successful Series
of Services.

Reports come to The iTimes-Diss
patch of large REVEALS in Culpeper
and Amherst counties following the
preaching of the Rev. George H. Wiley,
Of Richmond.
A resident of Amherst writes: "The
greatest revival that this county has
known for years has been held by the
Rev. L. Hunter Early, of the Mount
Pleasant Circuit. Rev. George II.
Wiley. of Richmond. Va, conducted
the meeting. The community was
awakened for miles around. and there
We're some sixty conversions from
among those who did not claim to be
living Christian lives"
Another from Culpeper county
writes: I'VE are closing at Woodland
Church Culpeper county, series of
meetings. Tho greatest outpouring OF
the Spirit that the church has ever
felt occurred in the revival which Is
held by the Rev. H. Y. Shenton. Rev.
George III. Wiley, from Richmond. has
done the preaching. On Friday, In
downpour of rain, people left their
homes and came for miles through the
rain until large congregation was
present, which continued all day IN
service There has been nothing like
lit here before. People We're several
times found on the outside Of the
church so affected, sometimes to tears.
that on. one occasion the congregation
went back and numbers came to the
altar. Mr.. Wiley has promised to come
back at another time and hold meet
ings."
The writer's speak of Mr.. Wiley as
strong and forceful preacher, with
unusual adaptation for revival work

| STRIKE ABOUT aoH

Telegraph Companies Will Re
fuse to Accept Operators
Who Walked Out.

To all outward appearances the tel
cgraph strike, locally, at least, has
passed into the dull and embarrassing
stage. The Western Union and Postal
Companies have refused to arbitrate or
and now comes the an
nouncement that the strikers will not
be reinstated. even IL they should apply
for work. This is accepted to mean
that conditions will continue as they
have for the past two weeks.
Both companies reported yesterday
that they are able to handle all bus
mess offered, and while the volume is
less than in normal times, 1t is increas-
ing and Is being transmitted with less
delay Operators from the East, par
ticularly New York, have been sent
to various congested points in the
South. and 1t is said that others are
being detailed for duty where business
requires it, There have been various
reports of strike benefit funds, but so
far as can be learned none of this has
been distributed in Richmond or the

THE RIGHTS OF MILKMEN.

Mr., a. r. Scott, a well-known milk
producer OF Henrico county, is reported
to have said, by way OF protest against
the regulations of the Richmond Board
of Health, that as an American citizen
he had a perfect right to handle his
milk and run his dairy as he saw fit
SO he has; but when he offers his
milk for sale in Richmond, he must
conform to the regulations of the
Board of Health. Richmond does not
assume the right TO dictate to the rest
dents of Henrico, so long as they do
not offer to do business within her
borders. But when they bring their
wares here 10 sell they must accept our
terms. There is nothing unreasonable
in this, and no infringement on the
rights of an American citizen. We
allow spirituous and malt liquors to be
sold in Richmond, but the city pre-
scribes the rules, and ali liquor dealers
must conform. If they refuse, they
cannot sell. and that's the long and
short of it,
Why do milkproducers insist on re-
Eisting the regulations of the Board
OF Health? They are very unreason-
able TO do so, and all who resist SIM
ply make trouble for themselves ant
prejudice their own cause, The Boart
OF Health is. not .tyrannical organi,
cation, and Is not disposed to subiec
J the milkmen TO harsh regulations They
are acting primarily IN the interest q
the people Of Richmond, ard is II

essarily TO limit the number OF pro
eucers and TO increase the cost az mill

BRYAN.s CRITICISM OF RoosE-
WELT.

1t is a cruel father who deserts his
pwn child. Mr.. William j. Bryan is
the man who proposed that all trusts
doing an interstate business should be
required to take out a Federal license.
Now he is indignant because President
Roosevelt proposes national incorpora-
ton of railroads and other corpora
lions engaged in interstate commerce.
The precise proposal of the Presi-
Gent is contained in the following LAM
yuage of his Provincetown speech:
II believe in a national incorpora-
ton law for corporations engaged in
Interstate business. ] believe, fur
thermore. that the need for action is
most pressing as regards those cor
porations which. because they are
common carriers, exercise quasi
public function; and which can be
completely controlled, in all respects
by the Federal government, by
the exercise of the power conferred
under the interstate commerce clause,
and. if necessary. under the post-road
clause of the Constitution. During the
last few years we have taken marked
strides in advance along the road OF
proper regulation of these railroad
corporations: but we must not stop in
Tho work The national government
should exercise over them similar
supervision and control to that which
1t exercises over national banks We
can do this only by proceeding far
tier along the lines marked out by
.he recent national legislation"
Mr. Bryan will have difficulty in show
ing any vast difference In principle
between Federal incorporation and
Federal license; and II industrial cor
porations doing an interstate business
should be licensed by the Federal gov
eminent why not railroads doing an
interior, businGss? IN point of fact.
Mr.. Bryan go.s a"bowshot beyond Mr..
Roosevelt in his proposal tina the Fed
sral government own and operate all
the trunk line railroads. Mr.. Bryan
denounces the Roosevelt plan as a
movement towards centralzation; and
20 it is But is it more so than Mr..
Bryan's government ownership plan?
We are utterly at a loss to under
stand Mr. Bryan's severe criticism Of
the Presidents policy. In all serious
ness, we had supposed that Mr.. Roose-
welt tlched his national incorpora-
ton idea from Mr.. Bryan and we had
supposed that Mr.. Bryan would com
mend and not condemn it. But Mr.
Bryan is man of surprises.

DAVIS DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.


Superintendent Davis now demands
that the charges that bids for furnisn-
ing wood to the City Home were tam.
pered with be investigated by the grand
jury.
The Timcs-D ispatch is glad that he
has taken this course and hopes that
the whole transaction and all related
transactions will be sifted as nne
wheat. All sorts OF rumors are aflont,
and they should be run down. The
public demands to know the whole
truth. There must be no concealment
either as to facts or persons.
1t has been proved that the sealed
bids were opened. Who opened them?
and for what purpose?
The grand jury should summon be-
fore 1T every man connected with the
transaction and every man who is sup
posed to know anything about 1t, and
require them to tell under oath all
that they know. The officers of the
institution, the men who submitted
bids. and the members of the Committee
on Relief of the Poor should be. put on
the stand, one and all. Publicity is the
surest cure for graft.

NEW PASTOR CALLED.
Fifth Street Church Settling Down

The dove of peace Is now perched
upon the white banner Of the colored
Fifth Street Baptist Church. and the

nent colored congregations in the coun-

sidered 1t is very likely that Rev. DR..

educator and preacher of this city. who
conducted services at the church yes

indefinitely. In the meantime the pull
pit committee will consider the ex-
tending of call to Rev DIR. Walter
II. Brooks, of Washington, D. c., one
of the strongest colored preachers In
the country. 1t Is stated that the sal
airy Of DR.. Brooks will be much more

.cident about the two pastors is that

MIR. sHAW,s ApNICE.

universal sanity was more essential
to our wellbeing,' says Leslie NJ. Shaw,
in an interview.
If all the officers Of government, ma
tionall and State, were as sane and SEN
sible as Mr.. Shaw, the situation would
be much clearer. He was one of the
best Cabinet officers the country ever
had. and his retirement was public
misfortune. We wish there were more
Shaws in the Roosevelt administra-
ton. But he is still taking an inter-
est in public affairs and giving good
advice. Universal sanity will save our
prosperity. There is no reason for a
serious setback in business, and there
will be none if the people will only
keep their heads.
