one does not know that the other is

In the days when every one was talking
about Darwinism and not wishing to be
ignorant-which is almost as bad as
not being well born-they stole one
night into the Lowell Institute and
listened TO a scientific lecture on the
descent of man. BY the aid Of the
stereopticon the lecturer demonstrated
to the eye and ear alike mans kinship
to the ape. The two old maids left the
hall at the close of the lecture de-
pressed and silent They had walked
two blocks without a word. when one
turned to the other and said Virginia.

That Is exactly the attitude assumed
by MANY proper people who have much
to say about an unclean press. Vice
exists, corruption exists, the private

most respected citizens will not bear
Inspection. but let say nothing about

Gentlemen, let us not conceal it. Let
us have the facts. men of the press,
even though we may not like the facts,

the only hope of remedying them.

room TO vanish. so that they may see
what is going on in their immediate
vicinity outside the room. Then into
the wall-less room troop the poor, the
ignorant, the vicious, bringing their
sick. their ragged and their hungry.
They lay these et the feet of the dainty
ladies and lordly gentlemen, and Rus
kin wonders whether the latter would
enjoy their banquet as much IL they
knew what IT really cost and what was
going on within pistol shot of the place
they occupied. Undoubtedly the ban

. DR.. Frank Oliver Hall, pastor OF the
Church OF Divine Paternity in New
York City. the pulpit made fampus
generation ago by Dr. L. H Chaplin,
was q speaker At the recent annual
banquet of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association. Having been
requested TO give the publishers his
views as 10 what news was eft TO be
printed" in the daily press, the noted
clergyman responded with q discourse
which aroused unusual interest among
his hearers. Summed up. his advice
70 the publishers was to print all the
news; 40 expose vice, but not in way
10 make vice attractive; TO be sure Of
the truth OF what was printed, and
neither doctor news nor suppress 1t
for financial gain. DR. Hall said:
AT first sight the subject assigned
70 me may suggest the comment Of
the old-time preacher who took for his
text. David danced before the ark
He said by way Of introduction that
the text was ambiguous, and might
mean any one OF three things: David
danced before the ark may mean that
David danced in front Of the ark: or
David danced before the ark may
mean that David danced prior to the
time when the ark wasmade; or David
danced before the ark may mean
that David danced first and the ark
danced afterward-
II am impressed with the fact that
this subject OF mine also is ambig-
uous. Fit to print may mean that

pected to instruct you publishers with
regard to what you should print in

mean that / am 10 make speech

may mean that in return for my din

should be you must remove that sus
picion Let us have the truth. the
whole truth. and nothing but the truth.
Other matter that is emphatically
unit to print is such presentation of
vice AS to make it seem attractive. An
immoral novel is not one that let's us
know that vice exists. Dickens does
that. He conducts US to haunts of vice
and crime, but he brings us out at the
other side sick with the hideousness
of b>all. The Immoral book is one that
makes vice seem beautiful. The inn
moral paper is not the one that pre-
sents the vicious facts. but the one
which casts a glamour of beauty upon
what is morally ugly and unclean.

Women and the Stores.

It is a fact that dry goods store
is a happy part Of womans life.
Watch them come, each with little
purpose in her heart or some fancy to
satisfy or some dear anxiety to dispel,
like blossoms in a gale, duttering here
and there, now at this counter and now
at that, picking up piece of lace here
or ribbon there or soft texture yon-
der and throwing out dainty ques-
ton everywhere as she goes on and on.
Isn't it a vision? AS the tides respond
to the moon, so does the dry goods
store to the woman. Either is the full
fillment of the other. One cannot think
of one and not the other. They began

an did it, and she shall enjoy it till the

BRYAN on Roosevelt

large audience at the Young Mems Chris
tian Association in Richmond Sunday,
yesterday afternoon and again at the Au-
ditorium last night, was guest, while
in the city, of Governor Swanson at the
executive mansion.
In an interview at the mansion, 10
which be discussed the leading questions
OF the day, including bis position on
government ownership of railroads, Mr..
Bryan said that the only condition upon
which he would consider the question Of
again becoming a candidate for the presi-
dency would be whether he could ad-
vance the cause of democracy by becom-
ing q candidate, Mr.. Bryan refused to
go as far as to commit himselft to a south
ern man for the nomination, saying that
the question is one of ayailability-the
man must ct the platform, no matter
from what section he comes.
Mr.. Bryan, politically speaking thinks
that President Roosevelt is something of
a dcctrinal hybrid-patt democrat and
part republican.

George P. Decker, agent for the United
States Express Company at Old Point
Comfort, yesterday morning robbed the
safe in his Office and set fire to the fed
eral pier, on which the Office was To-
Gated. All efforts to save the pier house
or any part OF its contents were in vain,
and the structure was totally destroyed.
All books and papers, large quantities
Of freight and express, and other valu-
able property was destroyed, and at this
| time it is impossible to estimate the
loss. Decker was suspected, and about
noon yesterday Chief Detective Bradford,
who was sent to Newport News BY the
Secret Service Buresu in connection
with the jamestown Exposition, took
the young man in custody. No charge
was preferred at the time and the arrest
was kept secret, but yesterday afternoon
Decker broke down aud made complete
confession.
The prisoner admits that he was short
in his accounts, and that he learned Sat
urday that an auditor was coming to
examine his books. he took $50 in
cash from the ssfs and, it is understood,
placed the books where they would be
sure to burn. Decker is tweuty-one
years cid, and came from Harpers
