II would seem that the Titanic disaster might

engaged passage on other vessels. Thousands of
others contemplating trips abroad have gone
ahead with their plans. The Titanic goes down;

Slowly but surely. agricultural conditions in

RAILROAD NOT AN OBSTRUCTIO MIST,

On this page we print from Mr.. Duke. assistant
burg and Potomac Railway. a statement in when
he disclaims any effort on the part of his road
to obstruct the extension of Monument Avenue.
From his statement 1t is easy to see the posi-
ton of the road with respect to the opening OF a
highway which would cross it's tracks and ne
~ccssitate its meeting entirely new conditions.
We still think that the Avenue should be opened
and that the X. f.. & =. should not be heard to
block what seems to be a natural development of
the city. At the same time. the road is entitled to
= period In which to canvass the situation and
the possible effects which it may bring to it.
This is not a matter where In justice any inter.
est ought to be taken by surprise. If the railroad
was not consulted. it was well within its rights
when it asked that a halt be called until it has
opportunity to discover where it stands.
This railroad has spent thousands on thou.
sands OF dollars ia perfecting its lines and Its
terminals. Together with the individual citizen
and property holder, 1t must be ready to spend
itself for the larger and more important Rich
nond which is now SO rapidly making. We are
glad TO know from Mr.. Dukes letter that his
company is not in opposition to this latest move.

that It Is only desireus Of understandings rho

II now needs nothing more. for any enterprise.
beyond the man and the reason to initiate 1t.

IRON the speeches of the representative men who
hate been identified with the development of
Richmond into a great city. They are the H'an
who have largely made Richmond the gateway
city of the South; who have put the name of

who have made Richmond heard in every
quarter OF the globe; whose energy. and faith,
and ageressiveness have caused the label made
in Richmond to be everywhere familiar. and
everywhere expected, These men did not at
tempt oratory. They spoke progress and plans,
not hope and fancy. They were in talk the
yirile factors they are in fact. They spelled
