Life is strife. Its battle is hard. cruel, fero-
cious and h~eartless. Mans inhumanity to man
is it's saddest aspect.

countless men TO criticise, censure. scott at and
condeun the public servant, who. it seems, must
reckon this as part of the cost of holding Office.

Trouble is reported az the YtIdis Kiosk. The

For fear of some confounding, we wish to ex-
plain that the Kiosk referred to Is not the one

PARIS. Feb. 2s.--A governmental
crisis a been precipitated by the

Dear DR.. Cannon want to thank you for
that great report, indicating so ably the Anti
Saloon League, and blistering SO terribly the
whiskey papers Of Virginia. The dull thick
hided beasts will feel the smart and sting of
your lash. The report is logically crushing to
any man with any hint OF reason or conscience.
l am sorry you are going to leave the State
before the banners are borne to victory. You
have been the Stonewail Jackson in the battle.
The uncircumcised have not hurt you. In the
Old North State we welcome you to peace and
"dryness." IL you need any wet goods you will
have to bring them with you.
Yes. there Is a remorseiess vitality and az
gression In that report which a man can read
with unfiagging interest to the end. Nine col
unins is pretty long in this mad twentieth CEN
fury rush. but 1 read 1t oil. The fight In IL
makes the thing exciting. The Virginian is a
fine paper.
With all good wishes. Your friend,

Words OF Praise.

Editor The Richmond Virginian:
Sir.-I read three daily papers-two Peters
burg and The Virgtnian-and II l had not been
taking The Virginian / would not have known
anything of the great convention of the high
est and best type of virginians. assembled at
Newport News this week. / rejoice that the
old Commonwealth OF Virginia has a newspaper
which is not controlled by the whiskey people
and other known anexes and auxiliaries, brawdy
houses and gambling dens. / travel over C large
portion of Southside Virginia, and / And a very
large number OF home-loving and law-abtding
citizens who are greatly pleased with The Rich
mond Virginian. because II gives the people of
Virginia the news, clean and fair. on all ques-
tons, and does not contain saloon-paid-for SLAM
der and other representations against the Chris
tian people of our State and country who dare
to work against these places of vice and crime.
A man who loves his family, his home or his
country does not wish a character assassin in
the form of n newspaper or a human being to
enter his home TO poison the minds and morals
OF those who are near and dear to him by
giving them falsehoods and Islander against the
best people of our Commonwealth and State.
Hundreds of the people of our State are pass
ing the "nine-day old period in a kittens life.
and can see the source and cause OF such as
sassin work by the whiskey newspapers OF our
State, and I hear IL often said now that ut Is
a high tribute to the Christian character and
evidence of good work done to be lied abou,
and slandered about by these whiskey papers"
Every man in Virginia should bar such papers
and such people from their homes as moral
lepers. for they are nothing better.

interest In political and civic affairs and used his
best efforts and influences for the upbuilding of
the capital city. His rame was synonymous
with integrity. honesty and fair dealing. and
