PUBLIC OPINION ON BROAD STREET

Action of the Street Committee in refusing
to consider the wishes OF Broad Street mer-
chants and others 80 far as to reconsider their
decision to recommend the bitulithio pavement
for the city's chief shopping and promenade
thoroughfare simply means that the case must
be fought out in the City Council
Whether such a fact means the postpone
ment of the improved pavement ON the street
is relatively immaterial. What everybody in
Richmond who is entitled to an opinion or who
has an interest at stake desires is that the paw
ing. when 1t is done. shall be of the best and
that it shall be as permanent as experience and
knowledge concerning pavements promise
The general consensus of opinion is that the
practicable smooth pavement to meet the need
lay this pavement is not in question. The fact
is that, through trial and experiment and
results, this is the pavement that is wished by
those directly interested and by those who not
having direct interest at the same time

affect the city's interests In this class pre-
eminently. the newspapers In this class
also IL every clJlZen VINO pays taxes, who mas
identified himself with the city's growth atili-
ated himself with the city's hopes The case
is one of public opinion We believe that it
will be won by the people who bring it.
AS TO the judgment of a majority OF the com
mittee We have nothing to say except to enter
personal dissent to that Judgment, 1t is never
theless unfortunate that several OF its members
should face the criticism that their award

The Ftrginian stated its disapproyaI and ex.
pressed the wish that the city might remove
from its servants the suggestion of preju-
dice by repaying TO the companies involved
their expenses made to that end.
The wisdom OF the position then taken. and
the vice OF city officers OF whatever grade lend
ing themselves to even the suggestion of i'm
proper influence. is being borne out by the
result which involves switch in opinion from
one sort OF pavement to another sort made in
the interest OF firm which participated in
paying expenses which no member of Council or
committee had logical reason to accept.

campaign for denomination as Congressman
oufesses TO a mistake.
This is in itself peculiar Circumstance.
The average campaign OF a Congressman for
reelection holds infailibility as It's basis Mis-
takes. as a rule, are children lost in the
GOD that they are totally forgotten. Go
bout for instance seeking the man who with
in easy recollection tore up several shirts in
his advocacy OF Free Silver. DO you find him?
Emphatically you do not. Who once headed
the great majority of curb-stone hnanciers is
low as dumb upon the subject of once dear
theory as the oyster in the presence OF the
Warus and the Carpenter.
Captain Lamb however. does the original
thing and owns up to the fact that once in
the stress of business or under the excitement
II the moment, he wrong. More than that,
he admits that he was wrong in matter which
the country at large has ever since been trying
10 convince Itself 1t was right in adopting.
Captain Lamb is sorry that ne voted for the

tory that has representation in the Demo-
cratic National Convention. a number OF wild
oWs real and alleged--and Theodore Roose-

lar advantage derived from needless strug-
gle from hysterica financial boom and an
equally hysterical financial panic will receive

practical results are concerned. We there com

Some Congressman have done more than
Others Some have done less. Whatever Cap
tain Lambs merits or dement's. whatever his
relative standing regards his opponent for
the nomination. LET it be said OF him that he
has made a record.
He has done that which the average Con-
gresham is more afraid OF doing than he
would be OF taking poison he has admitted

will grant him the possibility therefrom OF the
birth Of future wisdom

AZ TO HANDSHAkES

The worst thing we have heard about Wood
row Wilson since his nomination is that he
shakes hands with limp fin.
II the Governor has such habit, he should
bring all his well-known powers OF intellect
and determination to bear upon its eradication
Nothing except a woman who threatens to
fall to pieces as she walks is quite SO disheart-
ening as a man who meets the formal salute
Of friendship and good will with unrespon-
sve and refrigerated hipper.
A dish-rag handshake can ia moment
spoil all the good things man has ever said,
done, or thought in the estimation OF the man
who gets the limp end OF the proposition
What causes the fact is not so Gear. but the
fact itself Is as clear as anything can be: be-
tween men there goes out current OF SYM
paihS and friendship and understanding
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1912-07-18

through the handshake that no mental doubt
can weaken, and for the lack of which no men
tai confidence can substitute.
Since Governor Wilson Ia to become Presi-
dent, 1t is absolutely necessary that he learn
how to shake hands He must take hold OF the
fingers as well as the brains of the country.
Thus only practically and fguratively, can he
hope ultimately 10 take hold of the hearts of
his countrymen
1t is not necessary that he try, as Roosevelt
tries, to throw sprawiing on hands and knees
every with whom he clasps hands; but it
Is necessary. II he is 10 live long as man as
we'll as name, to let the man who reaches
out hand in salutation know that he has hold
of something that takes hold OF him

TRUST IN DISCRETION.

There should be this much said for the Bar
Mann s message to it to the effect that he would
be glad to hear Its recommendation as to Judge
of the Chancery Court, but desired to be under
stood as retaining his constitutional preroga-
tiyes as to the appointment, that The majority
Of the bar stated by their votes that they per
fecuy understood his attitude.
The effort to make 1t appear that, in sending
such message, the Governor was actuated by
friendship for luminosity to any particular
candidate for the honor is founded nothing
more than prejudice. The Governor simply
asserted himself Governor As it looks TO
us. that is thing which every Governor owes
IL to himself to do.
Political busybodies got particularly busy
over this really more or less formal incident
attending an established function. We have
no idea thar anything more than small
minority Of the bar encouraged or suggested
the deductions which were unreasonably made
because of what nothing more than a

existed, but which some people were apt to for

The card which he has seen St TO publish
should serve to set at rest any suggestion of

Things OF this kind yield themselves a

Is ne place OF a Governor for, the duty of
a Governor. except that he should carry out
and perform those functions which go with his
Office? Among these is the appointment OF
judges to fill vacancies caused by death or
resignation. Whatever the custom, whatever
the Governors inclination can he with reason
or justice to the trust that is reposed in him
resign or sublet that discretion? We think
rot, and We think that it was the Governor S
abstract decision In the negative that was the
sole cause Of the letter he sent the Richmond
Par Association. 1t may we'll be that. in his

THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE

Latham, famous aviator, the first man, among
other original things that he did to fly over a
populous city. has met violent death-not
from fall from his aeroplane but under the
hoofs OF wounded buralo in French Africa.
There is peculiar pity in such death, the
sense OF the homogeneous that clings to those
survivors OF wars and periIs who die calmly,
turning their faces to the wall that attaches
to those heroes of great and thrilling crises
who stump their toes and break their necks
that makes us sigh whenever any child of the
unusual is brought to the dust OF the ordinary
by his demise
Very probably Lathams ~aeroplane expert
ence had confirmed him in an intrepid habit
He had played with death until he had come
to believe in the star OF his luck. In hunting
wild game in the jungle he doubtless over
looked the possibilities OF danger The man
who would not have tried the air without
minute precaution. in all probability faced an
old and primeval natural danger without con-
sdering any chances except his own
But even in his death Latham Ia unusual
even heroic. He gave the buffalo chance.
That is far more than most of the killers of
wild game allow their victims. whom they
afterwards mount in museums. Latham was
evidently sportsman. He had no army Of
hunters at his heels. There is no mention Of
his typewriters and stenographers His hunt
was played out simply and graphically He threw
himself into the jungle, hunting adventure.
The world will depore the outcome OF the VEN
ture but it will inevitably contrast the spirit
OF the man who paid for his hunt with his life
with that of the army OF those who build a
reputation for bravery and pioneering out OF
the slaughter OF the helpless among the beasts.
One way or the other come as 1t might.
Latham's death could not fail to touch the
sympathy OF humanity. II it had to come, it
IL well that it came bravely to a man who was
willing to risk his life for that which every
one dreams of, and which few are willing
to embrace, the embodied spirit OF adventure.
