here Tuesday afternoon to spend a
day or two at his alma mater, the
University OF Virginia,
The coming of the distinguished visit
tor was uuheralded, and he had roamed
around town and college for All hour
or more before he was recognized.
Governor Wilson paid his respects to
President Alderman. Tuesday night he
was the guest of his old college mate,
Prof. Richard Heath Dabney, dean OF
TIE graduate department,
Later he met the members OF the
student Woodrow Wilson Club, the
members OF the Jefferson Literary So
.ety, whose medal for orat"ry be Won
80 years ago. and other members Of
the student body in Cabelt Hall, where
he made very brief address.
The standpatter, be said, is one who
thinks that if he moves he will get lnto
trouble. He does dare get into
the new game because he does not
know whether he vii! be able to play
it. He is under bonds to things as
they arc. He plays the close game.
In the scrmmage he can engage IN
any dirty thing the umpire can t see.
Forced into the open, he bungles at
every turn and every time he explains
anything he gives away everything.
After the Governors experience with
the college politicians, he found tie
other kind easier. The former know
the English language and can make
the worse appear the better cause.
Whenever you see party devoted,
as the republican party is. to special
interests, you may know it is an lm-
possible enterprise" the speaker de-

derman and later in the evening left
for Stauuton, his birthplace. After
brief stay he will 90 to st. Augustine,
Florida.

We regret exceedingly the delays in
the delivery Of the Gazette fduring the
past few weeks and sincerely trust our
readers will be patient WITH Us Tor a
little while longer.
The work OF moving our plant, in
railing a new press and making the
changes that we're necessary made the
prompt issue OF the paper Impossible
for several days and just as these dit
ticulties had been overcome We we're
unfortunate enough TO break several
parts OF our new press which required
US to print the paper in another Office.
AS early as possible We expect to re-
sumo publication in our own office.
Naturally these annnyances and de-
lays have been reflected in other de-
partments Of the paper.
The owners OF this paper have re-.
Gently spent S25, 900 in preparing to
give Alexandria modern newspaper
and no effort will be spared to acc N
plish this achievement. AS soon As
our mechanical difficulties ATE at an
end we will reorganize our Carl r ser
vice so that every subscriber will re
ceive his paper not later tuan five
o'clock.
In the meantime we sincerely apollo
gize for the delays and ask your kind
indulgence during our difficulties.
