ADMIRE HIM; BUT DON'T TRUST

General "Bob' Wynne, United
States Consul General in London
during the Roosevelt Administration,
has returned to his old home in
Washington to spend the Christmas
holidays. Since his retirement from
the Consular service he has been rep
resenting several American firms in
London, and he brings with him
much interesting information touch
ing the condition of affairs in Eng
land.
In that country, Mr.. Wynne is re.
ported to have said: Roosevelt is
regarded as the greatest man in
America; but "Englishmen are not
putting much money into America in
vestments. They have made up their
minds that there will be more OF less
Of uncertainty in the United States
for at least year." Queer, isn't it,
how the Colonel's pernicious activity
ON this side has affected the investing
spirit on the other, just as it has made
our own capitalists very shy. Rich

VIRGINIA IS FORGING AHEAD

Real estate values are jumping all
over the State. The reassessment in
Staunton showed very substantial
increase, the showing for Augusta
county was very gratifying, and now
come the figures for Richmond show
ing a gain for five years of SIS, 649, 485,
the new basis being $75,074, 1853. This
means decided reduction in the tax
rate, and low tax rate, provided the
assessment be fair, is always an invf-
tation to investors. Virginia is surely
coming into her own after many years
Of struggle. All sections of the State
report an increase in actual value of
property based on sales. Land that
could not be sold ten years ago at $40
will now bring $25, and in many cases
more. Without doubt the good roads
movement that is sweeping over the
State is responsible for some of this in
Ncrease in values, but even without it
property would have advanced. Lands
are worth more. Farmers are getting
better prices for their products-better
than for generation-andt the farmer
is no longer living hand-to-mouth
existence. He is getting as good re-
turn ON the capital he has invested as
the average merchant, and sometimes
better. and if he managed his business
as carefully as the merchant must
necessarily manage his, the return
would be far greater. Then too, the
tide is turning, and the South is rap
idly going forward to its old position
of prominence. These are going to
be good days for all the South and
Virginia is well up in the lead.

\ FARMER AS AN INSPIRATION

The career of David Rankin, the
Missouri farmer, who died a few days
ago, ought to be an inspiration to
every man who loves the soil and gets
his living from it. He has proved, as
no othepman has done, the possible
ties of agriculture. Starting with fifty
acres of poor land, not by any means
the equal of our valley lands, and
with no capital besides his energy and
farsightedness, he died, the possessor
of $4,000 acres, fortune of $3.50, 900,
his income being estimated at $3.50, OOO
a year. He had faith in the land and
from the time he bought his first fifty,
he was always land buyer. Yet he
was never land poor, for he used his land
intelligently and well and it made him
rich. He loved his work, and studied
it, he noticed the leaks and he stopped
them whenever they occurred, he was
believer in corn, and raised it by the
hundred thousand bushels, yet he
rarely sold any of it.. He fed it all on
his farms, converted his grain into
meat, retaining good part of it on
the land, thus keeping up fertility,
and sold the concentrated product Of
his fields at lar better prices than he
could have gotten for the grain. He
knew the advantage of rotation Of
crops, he ran his farms as methodical-
ly as any other man would run fac
tory, he knew almost to dollar, the
income and cost of operation, and he
made it pay.
We cannot all be David Raukins,
but we can run our farms in more
business-like way than we do. We
can stop the leaks, and save dollars by
attending to things that seem too
trivial 70 bother about. He has shown
what a farmer can do, and the oppor-
tunities for doing things on the farm
were never SO great as now.

With this issue, the SPECTATOR
passes under my control, and with
this article-which necessarily must
be largely personal introduce my
self to the people of the community
with which shall endeavor to iden-
tify myself.
The announcements of /, Messrs.
Olivier and Wyle and of Col. Turk in
recent issues of the DISPATCH AND
NEWS have been very kind and COM
plimentary to me, much more SO Than
I deserve, but shall try my best to
make their words good SO far as they
apply to the work am expected to do.
This is, henceforth, to be my home,
and the interests of Staunton and Au-
gusta County will be my interests. As
a newcomer, 1 ask your cooperation
in my work, your good wishes, your
sympathy ard your support. ! shall
do my best to deserve it. do not
come to Staunton as an alien or q
stranger for could not feel strange in
any part of the South, least of all in
Virginia, the home of my people for
many generations. Although native
of sister state, l am bound to this by
the tenderest ties of family and asso-
citation, and have always been proud
of the fact that the name bear is not
an entirely unfamiliar one in the an
nails of the colony and the common
wealth. So, you see, it is not as a
stranger that am here, but as one
who comes to the home of his fathers,
asking kinsman's welcome.
Reference has been made by Messrs.
Olivier, Wyle and Turk to my long
service on the Baltimore Sun. All my
newspaper training was received from
The Sun. My first preceptor was Mr..
A. S. Abel, founder of that paper.
From him and his sons, and the splen-
did body of men they had gathered
around them learned all I know of
newspaper principles and ethics. 1t
is my hope to live up to the things
these men have taught me.
I am coming here to work-to work
for and with the people of this city,
this county and this valley in every
way that can be of benefit to us all. |
do not expect to do any thing very
great or very wonderful but l do ex-
pect to run clean, decent, honest,
straightforward and honorable news
papers. There are no strings OF any
kind attached to the papers or their
policies and there will be none. The Q
will not be perfect newspapers by any
means-no human enterprise is pei
fect-and I expect they will make mis-
takes. But at the very least they will
be honest and square.
This field is an inviting one and ]
believe shall be very happy in my
work here, and believe it can/be so di-
rected as to be of benefit to the COM
munity. In it, l will have for the
present, at least, the assistance of Mr..
Herbert Wyle, who will be the bust
ness manager of the DISPATCH AND
News and of the SPECTATOR. His
assistance will be great help, for
there are many things to be done. In
the doing of them 1 am counting also
upon your cooperation and support.
If it should not be forthcoming I shall
be grievously disappointed.

a TREAT FOR nALr,MoReAms

Thousands of Baltimoreans will
be unable to go to Halethorpe to see
the bird men fly, but Notwithstanding
this. everybody in the city will have
the opportunity of seeing this latest
wonder of the world. The Baltimore
Sun has provided for this by paying
Hubert Latham s., 600 to make fight
over the city. This is a piece Ct
thoughtfulness rarely seen in these
days OF commercialism and the people
Of that city appreciate it.

A juryman is reported to have said
b a lawyer, who was very prosy, "Oh
60 on, go on, want to get out of this
before next year." and the judge fined
him $50. A jury is as much a judge
as the judge, and if the judge had said
this there would have been only a
laugh at the expense of the prosy law
yer. Has the associate judge, which
is the jury, no rights?

crowDing this memorial and steps
were soon taken to repair the statue.
A new one was placed in position the

This elemental action seems typi-

admired by millions of Americans.
His one great ambition was to be pres

were always shattered, just like the

shaft, which a grateful state has erect
