RMHER MISLEADING

The Washington Post in speaking OF
the remorseless tread of time, and how
it has swept from earth those who
were the heroes from 1851 to 1865, has
this to say:
ssThere is more buried valor In the
bosom of Virginia than in all the resi-
of our hemisphere besides. During the
great war her entire population, OF
military age and capacity for military
service, was in arms, and We can marx
how time passes when it is discovered
that Mr.. Martin in the Senate and MI
Lamb in the House, are the only INC
of the present delegation from the 'Olc
Dominion who fought in the great
civil struggle"
The allusion to the fact that only
Senator Martin and Mr.. Lamb OF TIT
present delegation from Virgins
FOUGHT in the great civil war, doe
Senator Martin some injustice. Gen
Fitz Lee some years ago established
the fact that those who dislike South
ern people on account of their ''effor
to destroy the Union" have no jus
complaint against Senator Martin. Tn
term 'sfought" is too harsh, and rathe
misleading. 1t should be shaded dow

uMExPLIcAsLE


Mr.. Aldrich in his letter of explana-
ton said that change of tariff on GER
tain rubber manufactures, not other
wise provided for, if put at 30 instead
of 35 percent, lwould entail loss of
half million'dollars in revenue. This
statement has been proven to lack
every element of fact, and is possibly
the worst, break the Senator ever made
when bespoke with apparent solem-
nifty. Such thing was impossible, is
wholly wrong, .and puts the Senator
in an awkwardpredicament. Now he
is busy explaining his letter, though
there arelmany other schedules which
need explanation as well as rubber.

|H|GH FINANCE
At BASIC CITY

Richmond. Va, Aug. 27.-Bank-
ing without capital sto.k is a some
what new pastime in Virginia, and its
contamination remained for the fertile
minds of some Afro Virginian citl-
zens of Basic City. The methods OF
the company might be appropriated
nv masters of high finance with con-
siderable success, if means can be de-
vised to get by the bank examiners,
who are the results of modern civil
lization.
Assistant Bank Examiner Charles 5.
Hunter was the means of the downfall
of the bank in question. He paid a
little official visit to the institution.
This was the concern whose officers
averred that some one representing
himself to be connected with the de
partment had shortly heretofore pre-
sented himself at the bank and asked
tn be allowed to examine it, but was
refused when he failed to produce the
proper credentials.
