WORSE THAN NO INVITATION
AT ALL.

With a division of sentiment exist
ing in the body, 1t would have been
much better TO have had no discus
sion of the firemen's convention mat
ter In the city council at this
time. After an acrimonious debate,
the common council last night, by a
vote of seven TO FIVE, adopted a reso-
luton formally inviting the Virginia
State Firemen's Association to hold its
annual convention in this city in
1911. This resolution must go to the
board of aldermen, whenever that
body sees fit to organize and attend
to the city's business. and it is not
a certainty by any means that the
aldermen will concur. Under these
circumstances. the action of the low
er branch is worse than no action at
all.
The firemen's association has voted
to hold it's next convention here, in
spite of the assurance from the only
Newport News delegate who dis
cussed the subject on the floor that
the delegation was not authorized to
extend an invitation and Newport
News did not want the meeting.
Therefore 1t would seem reasonable
to suppose that the association is
coming with or without an invitation,
and that the debate on the floor of
the common council was not neces-
sary. even from the viewpoint of
those who are most anxious to bring
the firemen here.
II the Virginia firemen come here
they win be properly received and en-
tertained. that is certain The mer-
chants and business men and. when
the time comes. the council will do
whatever may be necessary to see
that the ci;y's reputation as host
does not suffer. But there is no use
talking about the matter now. Six
months hence will be time enough
TO begin a discussion Of ways and
means for entertaining the conven
ton, and in the meantime the differ
eaces between the members of the
local department-it is an obvious
fact that serious differences exist
may be patched up. II would be very
undesirable. to say the least, to have
i'll feeling over the convention mat
ter existing among the merNbers Of
the local companies when the associa
ton meets here.

CONGRESSMAN JONES NOT
WAITING.

Congressman William A. Jones Gel
ebrated Labor Day by making a rous
ing Democratic speech at Gloucester
Court House. The Gloucester cores
pondent of the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch says:
Mr.. Jones proved that the high cost
OF living was directly caused by the
tariff. whereas the high prices paid to
the farmers for their commodities
was only an economic law, namely,
that of supply and demand. Exam
pies were cited TO prove this. His
speech rang true with the old Demo
cratic principles, and this fall Glou-
cester will be Democratic by large
majority.
Mr. Jones, who is serving his TWEEN
t:eth year as representative from the
First Virginia district, has been nomi-
mated for reelection without opposi-
ton. As yet the Republicans OF the
district have not put up candidate
for congress. and /; is not at all GER
tain that they will 90 through the
form OF offering opposition TO Mr..
Jones. II is certain, however, that all
the counties of the district, like Glou-
cester, will be Democratic by large
majorities If there is a show of con
test.

that this is attempting TO get out

When Mr.. A. B. Edmonds surveyed
