eral. 1t is composed of retail mer-
chants from practically every city in
Virginia as we'll as from some of the
rural districts. It has grown rapidly
during the past few years and its
members predict that at the next con-
vention to be held at Lynchburg in
1913, the number of delegates will be
doubled.
That it is a progressive organiza-
ton, working for the betterment of
the business conditions of the State
is evidenced by the men at the head Of
it. The president, Mr.. Samuel Cohen,
of Richmond conducts one of the lar
gest department stores in the South
and Mr.. w. A. Clark, Jr., the secre-
tary is an energetic and enterprising
business man of Richmond.
1t is safe to say that the convention
just closed made no mistake in the Sc
lection of Mr.. r. E. Knight Of this city
as one of it's general vice-presidents.
Mr.. Knight is not only one of Alex
andria's most prominent, but one of
her most enterprising merchants and
the Retail Merchants Association in
selecting him for so important an Of
flee in its organization, not merely
does honor to Mr.. Knight and to Al

Tomorrow will be the fifty-irst an

in which the Alexandria soldiers had
their second experience in the clash OF
war. Nature now smiles over this
historic field, and where Americans
met Americans in bloody conflict over
half a century ago the dove OF peace
has long perched.
The horrors of war were never real
lied by the generation which met al
Bull Run until that memorable Sun
day. The soldiers which formed the
federal army were inclined to look
upon the subjugation of the south as
something of minor Importance. Many
in the southern country also enter
tanned dreams of marching into Wash
inpton which were never intended to
be realized:
General Nc Dowell had been for
weeks gradually moving in the dlrec-
t;on of Manassas Junction where the
Confederates had made stand, un'
til the gap between the comoattants
had become so narrow that an engage
ment was inevitable. Nc Dowell had
virtually crossed the Rubicon, and ms
followers were enthused over the TO
seate pictures they had drawn OF the
EASY manner in which they supposed
they were to coerce the south BACK
into the union. They were destined
however, to experience a rude awak-

Confessions and Pleas of Guilty

Beattie, the McNamaras, Rich
eson, Webster pleas of guilt" and
confessions have become the style.
And it is good style. Where
the evi dence is a purely circum-
stantial, some men, if not some
jurors, cannot rid themselves of
disturbing doubts. Where sane
person voluntarily confesses, he
may help the cause of justice.
But it does not follow that he
deserves clemency. A confession
which a criminal cornered and
trapped by legal evidence makes
at the last moment in order to es-
cape trial and the extreme penalty
of the law is not a confession that
excites very much sympathy.
In any particular case the
question of mercy or punishment
may be left to the prosecutor,
judge and finally, the executive
of the state. No general princi-
pal can be laid down for all cases,
but it is necessary to distinguish
between genuine repentance, sim
cere sorrow and desire to atone
and expiate atrocious crime, and
hypocritical professions or cow
ardly fears. Confess and save
your life" should not become a
rigid formula while capital pun
ishment is deliberately retained.
Thieves have been taking radi-
ators from the Minneapolis court
house. 1t is rather surprising, in
view of the climatic conditions
which have recently prevailed in
Minneapolis. that the thieves did
MT take the boiler and the coal
pile also.

MURDER MYSTERY At RAPID CITY
Charred Remains of a Human
Body Found in Shack Near
Canyon Lake

Rapid City has a murder mys-
terry. The charred remains of a
human body were found in the
debris of burned shack by some
hunters last week Thursday, their
attention being attracted to the
grewsome object by IA dog gnaw-
ing at the corpse. Upon investi-
cation it was found that the burn
ed and blackened remains were
those of IA human being, and it
was at first supposed to be the
corpse of a young woman. but
later inveStI IgatiOn by Coroner
Robinson, of Rapid City, confirms
the belief that it is the remains of
man and various articles of
wearing apparel seem to support
this theory. The shack in which
the corpse was found was burned
on or about the 23rd of November,
about ten o'clock in the evening
and was seen by IA party living in
the neighborhOod. While the de-
tails of the crime are meager. it is
certain that someone has met with
foul play and steps will undoubt-
edly be ia ken to unravel the mys-
terry which surrounds the case.
The Rapid City Journal has the
following to say in regard to the
mystery:
Former Chief of Police Harry
Marshall. has examinde the relics
found in the foundation of shack
near Canyon Lake by Sheriff
Hewett and Coroner Robinson.
lie may take up the matter and
endeavor to ascertain whose body
was burned there on the evening
of November %. What is left of
the charred remains have been
transferred to the undertaking
rooms of Henry Behrens to await
the action of the coroners's Jury.
DIR. Robinson states that the
more he studies the case and eX-
amlnes the meager bits of material
found on the remains and at the
shack, the firmer he is convinced
that the corpse burned was that of
a man. The bits of steel found in
the ashes prove to be parts of
shoes and not corset reinforce
ments.
