SHALL IT BE?

Shall the courts of this land be shorn
of the most useful power they possess
and be transformed into amiable con-
citation agencies? This question is
raised by the injunction plank in the
national Democratic platform. In an
other column we print a communication
which was published in the Richmond
Times-Dispatch of the 18th instant. and
1t is from the pen of VIM. L. RoyalI.
Mr.. Royal says:
This plank in the Democratic plat
form strikes at the foundations of So
clety. 1t is vain to have laws if Won
have no agency for enforcing them; and
court without power to compel obedi-
ence to its orders is no court at ell. 1t
Is nothing but an amiable Cancellation
agency.
If that plank in the Democratic
platform was made the law of the land
we should at once commence retrograd-
ing to barbarism.
While holding this estimate of the in
junction plank in the platform, Mr..
Royal is so imbued with the prejudices
OF Southern Democracy that he announc-
es he will not vote for Judge Taft, though
ne declares that he will not vote for
MIR. Bryan He says that he would as
soon think of taking poison as to vote
for Mr. Bryan and the Injunction plank.
1t Is not only probable but almost GER
tain that every sound Democratic law
yer in Virginia holds the same views
that Mr.. Royal does upon the injunc-
ton plank of the Democratic party.
How many of them will be brave enough
to express their disapproval even in the
same half-measured way that Mr.. Roy
all has done? In other words, how
many of them will have the courage to
say they will not vote at all in the Pres
ldennaI election? Then, how many of
them will be brave and patriotic enough
70 vote for the candidate of the party
that has given its pledge to uphold the
integrity and just powers of the courts
and place their seal of condemnation on
the Democratic plank which strikes at
the foundations of society?
Shall the courts be stricken down and
paralyzed?

In Parting With Friends.
If thou dost bid thy friend farewell,
But for one night though that farewell

If thou dost bid thy friend farewell.
But for one night though that farewell
may be,
Press thou his hand in thine.
How can'st thou tell how far from thee
Fate or caprice may lead his steps ere
that tomorrow comes?
Men have been known to lightly turn
the corner of a street,
And days have grown to months. and
months to tagging years,
Ere they have looked in loving ewes
again.
Parting at best is underlaid with tears
and pain;
Therefore, lest sudden death should
come between,
Or time, or distance, clasp with pres
sure firm
The hand of him who goeth forth.
Unseen, Fate goeth, too.
Yea, find thou always time to say some
earnest word
Between the idle talk
Lest with thee henceforth, night and
day,
Regret should walk.

Richmond News Leader.

Richmond News Leader.
Attention of the esteemed VirDinian-
Pilot, OF Norfolk, is directed to the re-
marks OF DIR. F. S. Hope before the
Democratic Congressional committee of
the Second Congress district, the other
DAY. DR.. Hope successfully opposed a
proposed requirement that all voters in
the congressional primary election be
required 70 sign a pledge to support
Bryan. He is quoted as saying that in
the district are hundreds of good loyal
Democrats who are not for BRYAN and
will vote for Taft.
II we recollect correctly, the city of
Norfolk, is in the Second congress dis
trict and the Virginian-Pilot recently
turned up a supercillious nose at the
city of Richmond because we frankly
confessed that many respectable citi
zens OF this community will vote for
Taft. Did not the Virginian-Pilot re-
mark on that occasion that the Demo
Gratis in Norfolk who would vote for
Taft are too few to be counted or some
thing like that?
1t IS a great thing for newspaper to
understand conditions in its own COM
munity. The Virginian-PiIot ought to
take some lessons in Norfolk politics.
