THE nrupGE MUST BE nuI1r.

The supervisors OF Henrico County
know their own business and arc
public spirited men who look to the
best interests of their county but they
made serious mistake Yesterday in
declining to build bridge near the
Belt Line trestle to connect Henrico
and Chesterfield. The Supervisors
argued the question at length and
finally decided, as reported this morn
ing in The Times Dispatch, that the
cost of the bridge would far out
weigh the advantages to be received
by its erection
In reaching this decision the Super
visors evidently were not looking to
the future. The cost of the bridge
would be great and the immediate
benefits to either county would prob
ably not be very great, but the cree
ton of this bridge would assure the
future of those parts of both counties
facing the river and would, in addi-
ton. be a most excellent investment
Richmond is growing westward and
is growing very rapidly along the
river. Within few years Westhamp-
ton and the opposite bank OF the
James in Chesterfield county will be
covered with splendid residences. The
natural surroundings are SO beautiful
and the location so perfect that prog
ress along the river cannot be stopped.
If a bridge were built more villas
would rise and lands along the river
would inevitably Increase very rapidly
in value. Henrico and Chesterfield
within a few years would gain in
taxes enough to pay the interest on
the bonds expended for the bridge and
to provide for the sinking fund.
Besides, the counties might very
properly expect assistance from the
street car company and from land
owners along the river in building
the bridge. AS everybody concerned
would gain by the building of bridge,
every body would be willing TO con-
tribute and the counties would not be
forced to bear the entire burden. The
bridge must be built, for progress de-
mands it. and If the counties will not
start the enterprise private capital

A FAIR THAT PAYS

Some days ago we urged upon our
netghbors the benefits to be had from
a revival of the old time county fairs.
eral county gatherings in these days
when the conveniences of postal de-
livery and the abolition OF the county
courts have taken from the post-ofiice
and court-days their claim as great
social Institutions. We suggested, also.
that if the county fairs were gem
orally revived. they would supply
what is now so sadly lacking, and
would be great factor in educating
our farmers.
The Fredericksburg Daily Star.
which always thinks straight. says
that the people of Spotsylvania are
of the same mind and have tried the
plan. knowing that the county need
ed some regular social gathering. they
did not abandon the old custom. The
Star says:
I'VE have kept up our fair--not a.
county fair. but a district fair: and
we have found 1t to be both profitable
and pleasant from every STANDPOINT
The Times Dispatch says corn eX-
hibit and competition for prizes for
corn displayed should be an essential
part of these fairs
Well, we have had a splendid corn
exhibit for several years: in fact, the
Fredericksburg fair was the pioneer
in this line. and at the coming fair
this fall competition among farmers
for corn prizes Will be an important
part of the fair programme. Our fair
offers $3.50 in corn prizes. This years
fair is expected to be up-to-date. Al
the same time, it is desired to pre-
serve the features of an old-time coun-
ty fair"
This ought TO convince those of our
country brethren who have hesltated
to take up the idea. What Spotsylva.-
MIA has done. other counties can do,
and what Spotsylvania. has gained
other counties can gain, to the benefit
of the whole state and the joy of
all the people in this blessed Eden OF
bliss.

JIM ORANGE Is DEAD.

Everybody who ever went to a base
ball game In Richmond knew Jim Or
ange, and everybody laughed at him.
Arrayed in his ''rooter's uniform
with his opera hat, his frock coat, his
green vest and his flowing red necktie,
Jim was tho hero Of the "ten-ccnt
bieachers." the unfailng champion of
the home team and the unyielding
enemy of every other team in the
league. Richmond might play ball
that disguised the less loyal fans. and
might pile error on error; the pitchers
might weaken and the baserunners
might fall asleep. but they never re-
ceived word OF criticism from jim
You're all right, boy was his cheer
ing remark when a disappointed Rich
mond player returned to the bench
amidst an ominous silence. When the
spectators began to criticise the local
team, Jim was whitening in his sa-
tire: You're ten-cent sport" he
would say and you haven't got giz-
zard enough to play ping pong,
what's the use of coming to the game
If you don't root for the team?n and
then. in a moment, though the score
was seven to one. and the Colts
could not touch Long John Fox, Jim
would be leaning against the fence
and would cry al the top of his voice
Perry, knock it a mile" Perry never
did it, but he always heard Jim's en-
coura ging voice and so did every other
fan from the grandstand to the
bo%-cars and the tree tops
Jim is dead now.---died Yesterday OF
consumption at his mothers home, on
West Marshall Street where he had
been confined since last January. He
never greeted the players this season
and he did not see Big Wallace when
that hero knocked that record-break-
ing home run; but he was missed by
the team. missed by the newspap per
men and missed by the spectators
Jim was honest and his heart was in
the right place. He never did a mortal
any harm in his life. and he brough,
Joy to the heart of many man who
watched his antics and listened TO his
jbes. 1t cannot go hard with Jim
when he faces the Great Umpire and
hears the decision that finishes the
game forever!

SERVING JUSTICE, NOT CLIENTS.

President Taft said so many things
and said them so well on his last trip
from Washington that the press has
been unable to keep pace with him.
One day he was telling the young
women of Bryn Mawr College to get
all the education they could and then
to get married; the next he was say
ing that socialism is the greatest
menace of the country, and the third
day he was telling the country to hold
fast and not to break the bride.
One of the best speeches made by
the President onihis trip was the one
he delivered last Friday at the Ohio
Northern University. where he out
lined the ethics of the legal profess
sion. He said that the lawyer owes
a duty TO the court in which he
serves and duty to the society whose
guardian in a measure he is. He must
defend his client and see that his in
terests are protected. or he must
| prosecute offenders in the name of the
| law and see that justice is maintained
but he should remember that his duties
end here.
This is old-time talk. and 1t is some
what contrary to present-day legal
ethics, but it is sound, through and
through There are too many lawyers
in America who can be hired as par
tisans for any cause and who can
be employed to fight their clients
case, right or wrong, with all the
zeal of a crusader. They take advan-
tage of every bubble they use all
the tactics known to their calling, and
they never surrender until the last
court decides against them and the
last appeal is taken. On principle, a
lawyer must night and tight hard, for
the lawyer who is not whole-souled
in his work is OF little use to his
client; but there is such a thing as a
zeal that defeats justice. The lawyer
owes a duty to his client, of course
! but the lawyer owes duty TO justice
as well, and when he cheats the courts
for the benefit Of his client he defes
the system upon the justice of which
he must rest his next case and gets
for his client an advantage which he
would have the law deny his opponent

SOME SPANISH WAR HISTORY.

An age of decaYing statesmen is al
WAYS an age of "Reminiscences, and as
America is blessed a this time with
a number of public men whose glory
is passing. the country is being flood
ed with bits of more or less authentic
political history A few weeks ago
Senator Depew told how war with
Great Britain had been averted during
the happy days of Grover Cleveland,
and, before his story had gone the
rounds of the press. Senator Platts
photography was given to the world,
in which was disclosed the full history
of a certain Kicking" process that cost
the country a great deal.
The latest addition to these back
stairs chronicles comes from John Z.
Lamb. of Indiana, who told reporter
in Indianapolis the other day that
Speaker Tom Reed never believed that
the Maine was blown up by the span
iards. AS Speaker Reed was by no
means the only American who held to
this heresy, this part of Lamb story
would not be worth the telling, had it
not been followed by another bit of
Spanish War history which is interest
ing in itself and doubly interesting as it
shows the result of what is called "po-
litical expediency."
According to Mr.. Lamb, Speaker
Reed told him at Palm Beach, early in
1893, how it was that the United
states began its unjust war against
Spain. The day before the extra ses-
sion of Congress began, in the spring
/ of 1898, Reed called on President Nc
! liinley and listened while the Presi.
dent read the message he proposed tc

but he found that, after he left the

President to change that part of his
message which referred to arbitration
They told the President that If he
sent a message to Congress urging
peace, the Republicans would lose the
fall elections. The people demanded
war, and they would put Democrats In
office who would force war if the
Republicans declared for peace
