PASSING OF JOSHUA WHITCONB g

The theatre going public of this country will
hear of the death OF Joshua Whitcomb" with
deep regret. but his memory will Iva. In ordi-
nary life he Denman Thompson actor and
philosopher. Somewhere back in the years that
gone he merged himself into the role OF
Joshua Whitoomb" in The Old Homestead
He acted the part for a while, but for the past
score Of years he lived It, When the char
acter of rural philosopher, wit. philan-
thropist, and moralizer was drawn with
pen or on the stage, the mind Of the
reader or spectator instinctveiy went
back to Denman Thompson, creator OF the role
OF Joshua Whitcomb," whose sympathy and
understanding OF the part was 80 great as to
make him an actor on the street. and his ma
tural self on the stage
Denman Thompson charmed and delighted
more audiences than perhaps any actor ever
pleased In this country. He fell into" the role
of Joshua Whitcomb' naturally, and as the
years on he became more and more of q
liver Of the part than an actor. Mr.. Thompson
died at the ripe age of seventy SEVEN the greater
number OF which were devoted to appearances
In THE Old Homestead play which will
never die, except for want of him. He was a
finished actor jovial soul on and off the stage
humanizing OF the stage.

AS TO FEES.

The Board or Aldermen has acted wisely and
fairly in amending the ordinance providing for
the reduction of the fees of the City Collector
pensation operative from the expiration of the
incumbent's present torn, instead of permitting
the measure to call for an immediate diminu-
ton.
We are unalterabIy opposed TO the fee system
The compensation of every officer, whether mu-
nieipal county. State. national. should be
fixed al a definite figure commemorate with the
duties and responsibilities The fee system
should have been abolished years ago and steps
toward that end to he approved wherever
they are taken. We are living in different
age and under totally changed conditions than
those under which this topheavy system of re-
munerating public servants was created. and
We should have entirely different methods so as
to meet the circumstances of the present day
The duties of every Office should be known and
are known. There should be equal defnitsness
and explicitness about the stipend to be paid
the ONCE holder.
Notwithstanding this. however. the City Col
rector or Richmond was elected for prescribed
term. and 1t would be unfair and unjust to him
we believe, to decrease his compensation during
that term. He accepted the office with an APP
proximate knowledge Of it's compensation, and
during his tenure the remuneration should not
be reduced.
Much has been said In connection with the
proposed reduction Of the fees of the City Col
lector about the Lack OF necessity for the Office
which he holds If there Ia not need for the
| office It should be abolished The lawmakers OF
Richmond have tho power to wipe an Office out
OK existence when 1t has been shown that no
need for 1T obtains init when man has been
elected to and assumed a position with expecta
tions OF certain remuneration. the rate of his
pay should not be disturbed until the compile
tion OF the full term for which he was elected

quities, the Board of Aldermen sets Mt rest all
doubt to the future OF this historic house
The Association for the Preservation of Vir-

acquisition of such priceless treasure, and the
people of Richmond on having the care OF this
memento Of the States and countrys early his
tory entrusted to such patriotic and worthy men
and women
For several years the home Of the first Chief
Justice OF the Supreme Court OF the United
States, and original interpreter OF the laws OF
this nation, has been in danger OF being RACED
to make way for modern structure or
remodcled to suit the supposed needs OF the City
School Board. 1t 10 good to know that it is now
beyond the reach OF all except those who revere
IT and will labor earnestly TO restore II to the
condition in which it was left by the distin-
guished virginan. TO whom no greater tribute
could be paid than the preservation Of the house
which was his dwelling place during his eventful
and illustrious life,

FAIRY STONES VANISH
FROM VIRGINIA GLADE
QUARRY OF NATURES CROSSES
WHICH ARE WORN AS PRO-
LECTION AGAINST EVILS
BEING EXHAUSTED.

Visitors In Richmond recently have
brought word that the quarry of far
famed Fairy or Lucky stones at
the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains
in Patrick county Is rapidly being
exhausted and il is feared the da :
soon will arrive when no more OF the
curiosities can be found.
Dealers who sell the stones as
charms arc said. to, pillow, sometimes
for hours without finding a stone, ana
then IL luck IL with them may chance
across a small deposit of the little
freaks OF nature. Time was when
the stones were plentiful and could
be found IN abundance in the little
glade where they were discovered.
Most Virgfnians are familiar with
the history of the FAIRY" stones and
know that they are small stones fash
Toned by nature In the shapes OF st.
Andrew, Roman and Meltes@ crosses.
The stones are found nowhere else
on earth. and when sold for charms
usually bring good prices. The price
Is growing higher as the supply de-
creases.
In connection with the legend Of
the stones there Is a common belief
or superstition that when carried on
the person the stones Will protect the
wearer from sickness, accident ana
disasters Of all kinds Several Of the
crowned head of Europe wear them,
ard among the prominent persons IN
this country who possess one Is Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt.

superstition point out that President

SEGREGATION.

The segregation ordinance, which has recelv-
ed the approval OF both branches Of the Rs-,-
mond Council and nov awaits the signature OF
Mayor Richardson to become Law, is not mea-
sure aimed at the black man to keep him down
to abridge his rights, but sociological ne
eessity. This should be as apparent TO the ne
gro as TO the white man.
Reduced TO it's simplest form. the ordinance
says the intermingling OF the races is good for
neither; that the black man is not wanted In
white localities This has been made plain to
the negro in various disagreeable ways in the
past. and the ordinance merely reduces the at
titude Of the white man to writing for guidance
In the future. and puts the black man on notice
in an entirely friendly manner
AS The TtrpiniGn declared when this ordi-
nance was proposed. the Tonderlehr measure
prevents an effect by removing the cause. 1t
ohvietes trouble by providing against a reason
for it. This measure contains n ton of proven
ton and Is cure IN itself. 1t makes for the
peace and happiness of tho races and the enjoy
ment of life and happiness under conditions
which are conducive 10 tranquility and har-
n,ony.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon the fact
that negroes who afford 10 pay high rent
purchase property in white localities owe it
TO their racewhose evolution in problem to
the black more than the white-to remain
among their own fellows. to spread an uplifting
Influence and disseminate Inspiration to better
and higher things Negroes are never so happy
as when among themselves. and the vonderlehr
ordinance makes for the promotion OF their
gro has any sehrespect pride he should not
wish to live in a neighborhood whore he Is
anathema- and where life would be a burden
instead OF delight. The nature OF negro
the attitude OF the white man, not only in the
South, but all over this country toward the
black man has been set by too powerful and
stable mordant to know any change.
The ordinance is equitable, in that it makes
Il as unlawful for g white person live in
eolored neighborhood for negro to dwell
In a white locality Left among themselves the
negroes can work out their own destiny fal
tend toward friction, dissension. disagreement
and worse.
From whatever point Of view the white o.
the colored man may view this measure he can
not escape tho conviction that it Is all for tn,
best of all concerned all around

cines regarding their curative properties, the
law should be so amended as 10 make such
falsehoods unlawful
The pure food and drug att is one OF the best
laws ever passed by Congress. and since it be-
came effective the public health has been safe
guarded and improved. The Law abolished the
secret formula in the patent medicine business,
and compelled the publication on every bottle
of the ingredients in the connection and the
quantity OF each drug used. While the Supreme
Court may place broad Interpretation upon
the law and construe it to cover misstatements
as TO the curative abilities of patent mixtures,
the law does not specifically prohibit this.
without provision against barefaced false
hoods. coined for the purpose Of deceiving sufA
fercrs who grasp at patent medicines like dying
men al straws, and to increase the sale OF these
so-cailed remedies. the act OF 1906 is not of the
value to the American people that 1t could be.
Makers OF patent medicines usually take a
weil-known prescription prepare the ingredi-
ents properly and mix them with preservatives.
II Is the latter which make patent medicines
harmful These personalities usually 30 per
cent alcohol or some strong acid, fer1nent in the
bottle and make mixture which can do no
sufferer any good Highly ornamental labels
cry that these remedies will cure anything from
stone bruise to tuberculosis. and the poor and
ignorant sufferers, little dreaming that anyone
In the world would deceive sick person, be-
lieve what they read or is read to them
The enlightened man or woman may know
that the ingredients contained In the mixture
would not cure his or her ailment but major
ity OF people accept a pharmacists or manufac-
turers word to what a medicine will accom-

and the Democrats have tucked another feather
In their cap by determining to give the people
necessary laws at the earliest time practicable.
II will seem strange to the Republicans to see
