GLAD TO SEE YOU. PARTNERS.

| Under the above caption the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch has this, among
other things. to say in welcoming the
annual gathering of the Virginia Press
Associations:
According to the last edition of the
American Newspaper Directory we have
at hand, there are two hundred and
fifty newspapers and periodicals pub
lished in Virginia, including thirty-two
daily, two tri-weekly. nine semi-weekly,
one hundred and sixty-three weekly,
one fortnightly. two semi-monthly.
thirty-six monthly, two bi-monthly and
three quarterly publications. The pla-
ces of publication are one hundred and
twenty-four, of which seventy are
county seats. These publications are.
speaking generally. of high order of
merit and represent in an admirable
way the sentiment and purposes of the
people of this great Commonwealth
Many of these newspapers have small
calculations, but they WELD a great
power for good in the State. They
stand for every phase of thought and
for every interest in the State, each in
its own field doing it's appointed task,
and doing it oftentimes with scant ap-
probation.
The Association does not attempt to
interfere with the business affairs or
with the religious or political views of
its members. Its purpose is higher and
better than that-the creation of good
feeling among the best people in the
world, the discovery of common
ground which they can meet for the
benefit of the State, which is in the
heart OF every true man and woman in
Virginia. The mean things that we
may say about each other in the heat of
debate, in the stress Of exciting politi-
cal campaigns, in the advocacy of GER
tain pet ideas or theories, from time To
time, do not count at these annual
gatherings, and by mingling together
IN generous spirit we may all catch new
and better inspiration for such arduous
work as We shall have to do in the
months and years to come. II is .blest
be the tie that binds today, and to-
morrow, and until the present tryst
shall end. and we may all say curst be

ANACHRONISTIC.

The usually accurate Peters
burg lndex-Appeal says:
1t is said that Noah Webster. when
his wife caught him kissing the cook
and said she was surprised. reproved her
for such use of language: 'It is l."
said the great photographer, that am
surprised; you are astonished.''
1t would make DIR. Johnson
turn over in his grave to be so
mixed up with the respectable
Noah w, who, it seems. is also
sometimes confounded with the
Industrious Daniel. We recall n
story Ola lawyer, who. in making.
stump speech, quoted the
opinion of ''Daniel Webster. of
dictionary fame" Some one be-
hind him pulled his coat-tail and
whispered: cit was Noah Webster
who made the dictionary
"Noah nothingl' replied the
speaker; cit was Noah made the
arkI''
And the worst of it is that the
lndex-Appeal goes on to say
there's nothing like being ac-
curate."

ASSASSINS OF CHARACTER.
lFrom Richmond virrinian.

No mans character is so high. no
mans record 30 fiawless, no mans mo-
tive so pure that there will not be found
the voice of calumny to question, smirch.
and suspect. There are always hands
OF hate reaching from the mire. Pow
erless TO rise, degradation seeks always
to reduce all things to its own level.
Failure always affords libel on sue
cess. and vice justifies itself with the
SANDER Of virtue. These things are but
the impotent efforts Of the underworld
at recognition. They are the vapors
that rise from an uncovered cesspool.
harmless unless breathed. They are the
poisons Of the sewer, deadly in them
selves but innocuous unless assimilated.
But to give these things an artificial
value, to deal in them, to spread them
in the way, is akin to criminal careless
ness. To find for them a vehicle
through which to deal an injury; to stir
and direct them to the working of harm
Is to give wound and to stand sponsor
for a species of Islander that no self re-
speeding community will tolerate in 81
lence. lReferring to the unfounded
charges against the head of the Associ-
ated Charities, the "Virginian" contin-
les:I
The consequences are that a noble
work has been arrested. and the tongue
'f scandal set running against its name
md purpose; that an able and devoted
nan has been put to an ignominy of
which the most sweeping vindication is
'owerless to remove the stain,-and
With no other basis than q fabric of lies
md envy and vengeful hatred.
Character is q thing of too long a
growth to be lightly attacked or wan
only jeopardized. 1t is no playthino
or gossip, nor football for prejudice
The circumstances of this case sbould
make a lesson for all inclined 80 to use
IN reckless disregard not only Of the
equation of others, but ultimately and
Inevitably Of that of themselves.

IT SEEMS assured in the public
