Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-An editorial in yesterday

copied by every newspaper in this

Too many editors in Virginia pic

some far distant State, where, possibly.
some friend has gone. but never think
1t necessary TO show up the beauties
of Old Virginia. and in too many in
by the howery articles and think Nir-
gina splendid State to get away
from, and they go, only in many in
stances, to be bitterly disappointed.
There are several instances of this
character which might be given as
actual happenings in this Immediate
section.
About eight years ago a gentleman

a splendid little farm and making a
good living on 1T and something over

He sold made his arrangements 1or

goods and went TO his new home to

unloaded his car, but at once had It
rebilled and liked back to Old Nir-
ginia,
n young man living near this place
read these wonderful accounts of the
get-rich quick lands In the West. He
was we'll fixed here. but wished to
do better, and so sold and went to
his chosen home, While looking
around he met several men who We're

found that they, like himself. We're

do not believe that the true senti-

In the past of Virginia politics, as
a matter of necessity. we have had
quite enough of such things SO fruitful
of political bossism and courthouse
clidues. As to the church going into
politics, which seems at one time to
have disturbed DR.. Pitt. of the Rell-
gious Herald. the problem is easy OF
solution. Let each man cast his vote
from an individual standpoint as seems
best to himself. not to others with his
conscience in his own keeping, not in
the keeping of others. I am conscious
that club-wielders in this connection
may have much TO say about the
scared conscience. In the estimation
of the Roman Catholics at one time.
Martin Luther was n man with a very
much scared conscience. in the esti-
nation of English Professionals at one
time the conscience of Mary. Queen OF
Scots, was scared. for which she suf-
tered penalty far out of proportion
to any crime for which she could be
charged. The Spanish Inquistion was
one method OF dealing with the scared
conscience; nor has the Protestant
church at all times been clear of
wrongs perpetrated in the name of re-
ligion, $. V. WATKINS.

SELFISH INTEREST

That the one great obstacle to
the development Of our waterway 8
is the opposition Of the railroad
companies, is the statement made
by Commissioner Of Corporations,
Herbert Knox Smith in his report
to the president on September 26.
Says Commissioner Knox:
Probably the greatest single
deterrent to water terminal advance
in the United States is the pres
emit adverse attitude of rail lines
toward independent water traffic,
in their exclusive control of 'front.'
age, in refusal or neglect to CO.
ordinate with general water traffic,
and in refusal to pro-rate generally
with water lines in through move
ment of traffic"
In some cities, says Mr.. Knox,
railroads own almost the entire
water frontage and able to stiAe
possible water competition.
Europe's rivers are busy arteries
of commerce. Europe's great
natural highways are used to carry
commodities between producer and
consumer as cheaply as possible.
Europe looks upon her waterways
as a resource to be developed in
the interest Of the people.
In the United States they are
allowed to lie unused and unde-
veloped, because of the selfish in
terest of the rail transportation
monopoly.
Unless the people keep their
eyes open all Of the benefits deriv-
ed from the Panama Canal will be
absorbed by the railroads.
