ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITERS.

A friend Of ours, a few DAYS ago.
sought counsel from us as to what he
ought to do with an anonymous letter
which he had just received. eriticisinp
his professional action in a court case
IN which he had just beer engaged.
The letterwas somewhat illnatured and
sp,teful. as he described it. Our coun-
sci TO him was to destroy it and dismiss
1t from his mind. 1t is common ex-
perience with men in public or semi
public positions to receive unsigned and
unidentified communications. 1t some
times. though rarely, happens that the
etfusions are kindly meant and kindly
expressed. 1t is possible, of course
that one may wish to do service to an
other and to be unknown as the bene-
factor. This however, is exceptional
and rare. AS rule the ANONYMOUS
ietter-writer is a coward and sneak
and deserves not the least attention or
consideration. Brave men, manly men
are always willing to assume RESPONSE
oiiity for whatever of criticism or con-
domination they may have to utter. -

as to the ring and the office hold
ing trust and the like, were credited bv
the speaker to Democratic newspapers
or the State that opposed Judge Mann's
nomination in the primary. We warned
those contemporaries during the prima-
~ campaign that they were furnishing
the enemy campaign ammunition which
would be used against the Democratic
party in the general election. Our con-
temporaries knew then as thew know
now that those charges were mere clan
trap, and were never meant to be taken
seriously. But unfortunately, there
are ignorant but well meaning voters
who are gullible to the extent of
believing that they do the State a SER
vice by accepting this clap-trap as a
confession of truth. and that is where
the poison works. and makes the pri-
mary an agency of harm to the Demo-

demonstrating the unfitness of those

he showed that serious abuses had ex-
listed in the department without the
discovery of the fact by the head of the

at public investigation, and to the
satisfaction of the public, proved also
that sweeping change was needed in
direction of the States educational
affairs. Under Mr.. Eggleston the De-
partment of Public Education has
been conducted with vigor and ability
and has made noteworthy progress.

l have no doubt but that new contro-
versies with your local confreres have
taken the place of the old and that the

buried.
1t has been of considerable interest
to msSto read in the papers up here
that many counties in Virginia are
going wet. think it's a mistaxe
Tor the section. From my limited ex-
perience am of the opinion that the
average Virginian does not know how
to use stimulants in moderation. The
abuse OF anything is not pleasant in it's
contemplation.
