Editor Richmond Virginian:
Sir-In reading this mornings issue OF The

Ir Hatcher's communication wherein he
wishes to correct previous article which ap-
peared in The virginian and which was sup
posed to be a report of interview with him
regarding the Rev. Mr.. Richeson. now under
indictment for murder.
After reading DIR. Hatcher's article then
came your editorial. Courtesy OF
Quest wherein you seem to take exceptions
TO some of the epithets said to have been used
by Mr.. Taylor. of Ohio. in a speech recently
made before the Highways Convention In this
city, and in your editorial you state that. and
such other epithets Southern gentlemen are
slow to utter and never permitted by COM
mon polteness in the presence OF ladies' Now
Ir. Hatcher, in the article published over his
signature Of these same epithets ana
you arc not loath to put it in print neither are
you at all slow in naming In your editorial
previously referred to. some Of the epithets
Mr. TAYLOR is reported to have said and these
awful words are placed before the eyes OF not
only the ladies but equally well before the
younger generation to digest
II Mr. Taylor such terms and II 1T.
Hatcher's article Is correctly printed, l. am OF
the opinion that both gentlemen are right In
the use OF such terms II 1t Is true that reporters
for our papers 30 eager to print news
that they cannot adhere closely to the truth
and report interviews and proceedings OF meet
ings without embellshing the articles that they
may encroach upon sensationalism at the ex-
pense Of q mans character
why call lie. lie? Is 1t not better
than to call 1t by some polite name that may
have another meaning? Methinks Mr.. Taylor
may have heard of recent speech OF one OF
our Southern mayors before the Waterways
Commission recently. wherein 1t was reported
that his honor said. among other things. i
am from a Southern city. and am a Southerner
through and through. II had one drop OF
Northern blood in my heart would tear 1t
out" Now, you say. Perhaps. however
this gentleman (meaning Mr.. Taylor). has
found the customs and courteses OF our city
so unusual and Objectionable that he has felt
justified In the invective which seems to spring
naturally and spontaneously to his lips.
am Of the opinion that It would be TAR better
for us il We would first look into own sins
and not undertake to criticise others. especially
those who may be guests am In thor
ough sympathy with the article DR. Hatcher
has signed and which you publish and l trust
that in the future may not be so narrow as
to seek tho faults of others without first wash
i ing ourselves of impurities
Very respectfully.
