FEEBLE OBJECTIONS TO THE
BANKING LAW

The friends of banking reform need
not be alarmed. 1t is not likely that
the Assembly will seriously consider
the feeble objections which have beer,

ness men and practical men of affairs
who make UP the majority in both
Houses OF the Assembly will be quick

accept for practical business reasons,

cient service, no matter how cheaply.
We believe that they will give the
state banking act that will guar
antee more than form without sub
stance. examination without security,
The plan to have the Corporation
Commission direct the bank inspection
must surely die in the House. The
Corporation Commission has it's hands

to the condition of 24O banks scattered
through the State from Lee to Ac-
comac, from Loudoun to Mecklenburg.
Ii this work were placed upon tho
commission it could only be done
through clerks and accountants hired
for the purpose We believe that the
Corporation Commission will be I'M
willing to accept an arrangement
which will make them responsible for
the condition of institutions which
they cannot personally supervise. The
commission we take it, will see the
advantage of having Banking Com

both to them and to the people.
NOT is IT fair to suppose that the

occasional examination of State banks

Editor of The Times Dispntcll;
Sir--T would like to call the atten-
ton of the people of the State through
your columns to an apparently harm
less little local bill of about five lines
House bill No. 81. These five lines
contain enough Dynamite to blow
away forever all rights of the people
of Virginia to the fishing privileges OF
this stream, which We're given to them
In 1922 by special act OF Legislature.
In posing as a local bill, 1t Is a
wolf In sleeps clothing, and it is. in
fact, of Statewide interest, In that it
will give to the property owners along
the river personal property rights in
this river which now belong to the
public
AS you know. it is one of the few
really good rivers left unpolluted In
the State. and should reIhain public
property.
Your own city sends her quota there
to fish every year, and they come from
all parts OF the State for the fishing.
If 1t can be called to the attention
of each and every Senator that this ia
not local bill, hut bill to give away
the property of the State to n few
1t is hardly possible that
1t can become n law

Guiding the present ones, was awful.
Roosevelt was bluff, Taft was a
sham; Cleveland's Democratic views
had all been Grass errors; the Demo-
cratic party was dead the Republi-
can party was too rotten to be re-
ferred to; the Populist party was a
joke, according to the trio.
But somehow the People didn't
rally to Mr.. Hearst's plan of saliva
ton, and like all sinners trying to
be saved, he has tried again.
He has cut himself loose from John
Temples teachings and Mr.. Bris-
bane's moral uplifting and has come
boldly out as a supporter, admirer
and staunch friend of-Taft.
AS political squirmer and chame-
leon, Mr.. Hearst leaves the Human
Snake at the ten-cent shows tied in
a knot.

Yes-with a Presidential candi-

and probably even Pork Barrel in
the background.
And the platform of the party was
as neatly constructed one as ever
a jack-leg political carpenter put out.
William toured the States; John
Temple toured the States; Brisbane
stayed on the job as stage manager,
speech concocter and general all
round Supervisor of Things as They

The new party was neither fish
nor fowl nor good red herrin.
But all the Big Fry mentioned
and all the Small Fry assured an
eager, harrassed, trust-ridden world
that the new party was 1.-THE solv-
er of all problems, the panacea of
all woes, Moses and the Day Of
Judgment all rolled in one.

brains became a fad with Hearst
Once a man made good on any
other newspaper, he was sure of an
offer sooner or later from Hearst.
Other newspapers in other cities
were acquired, but as this article is
not meant to act as a directory for
the Hearst people, we won't bother
to hunt them all up.
BY this time, William began to
feel that he, personally, was going
to be The Power.
He forgot what was due those sub
sidized brains of the men on his
payroll, and he butted into politics
again.
In his look afield for more brains,
Hearst heard of Southern newspa-
per man whose flowing eloquence
was of the sort to make the birds
stop singing and the flowers forget
to grow: his name was John Temple
Graves, and Hearst transplanted
him to New York at sinful salary.
And William r. began to get more
serious as we may note by the photo
graphs taken at this time wherein
he is pictured as pensively gazing
into the future with his index finger
draped carelessly across his dome of
thought.

New Workers of generation Or
two ago recall the first serious eff
fort William Randolph Hearst made
to break into politics. AS repre-
sentative from a New York City dis
trict, William resided in Albany for
a brief period. Prior to that, he was
known chiefly as an enormously rich
young man, patron of the theatre
and with a large and growing inspi-
ration to be a Power To this latter
kink in his makeup he owes his
present prominence, but, in the lam
guage of the day, w. R. doesn't cut
a great deal Of ice-yet.
AS an agitator, his newspaper, the
New York Journal, was in a class by
itself. It's utterances were incen-
diary and it's greatest play was for
and to the Common People.
AS a Power on the paper, w. R.
personally didn't amount to much,
but he had the money (and sense)
to secure, early in his newspaper ca

One of the Old Guard From
Jasper.

Dear Sir:-The first time I ever
saw or heard you was about sixteen
years ago over in Butts county, at
HOlman's Tabernacle, on the 18th or
18th of August, 1898. You made
the greatest speech that was ever
made in old Butts in all it's history
to the largest crowd that ever gath
cred to hear a speech in that county.
My friendship for you dates from
that memorable day. l believed then
what | have ever since believed, that
you were the frmest friend the COM
mon people had in this country. I
will never forget that day [ even
remember the song that was sung,
Cali Hail the Power of Jesus name,
it seemed the very rafters would be
lifted. [ had never seen you, but
had seen your picture in papers |
recognized you among the crowd.
How you handled old Sister Living
stone that day will ever remain
fresh in my mind. But I must get to
what l want to write. I have always
been great lover of history. I have
watched closely the history of this
Government for nearly a quarter of
a century, read speeches from all of
them from the days of James G..
Blaine down to the present day.
I we'll remember that mighty
struggle when they talked of
turning you out of Congress on
account of a book you had written.
You then stood on the Ocala plat
form, stand there today; you then
were a Democrat, you are a Demo-
crat today. There were 100000
Alliance men all, suppose, endors-
ing the Ocala platform; where are
they today? Scattered to the four
winds. Who scattered them? It's
history is a disheartening one to the
poor man. No man acquainted with
the facts, and with an unprecedented
mind, can truthfully say that in these
sixteen years you have ever faltered
or deviated one jot or title from the
straight and narrow path marked out
by the Farmers Alliance
For fear of wearying you I will
close. 1t would take about twenty

pages, or more, to write what want
to, but will only say the people are
at last beginning to see that it is
for them that you are battling, and
the prejudice against you is melting
like snow1akes before a July sun.
| have long since believed that the
Giver of all good had a work for you
to do, and / believe an Omnipotent
hand will ever shield you until that
work is accomplished
May you ever have the courage,
strength and health to press onward
until you see the fruition of your
works, is the wish of your old friend,
