REAL ECONOMY

Real economy consists not In boarding money
but in spending 1t wisely The man who buys
what he needs and as much as he needs and
man who wraps his pennies in a napkin and
hnriez them in the ground
Christ taught real economy when He spoke
the parable OF the talents
Captain Carlton Mccarthy. one of the mem
bers of the administrative board apparently
realizes the meaning of economy. In an inter
view with Firgnian reporter he says: THE
municipality OF Richmond is not crying hard
times; it is a Furnishing. well-to-do corpora
ton, growing by leaps and bounds To my
mind, the problem that is TO be put up to the
administrative board is not how to retreneh but
to expend the same amount that Is now being
spent in a way 10 accomplish greater results
by eliminating waste Eventually the greater
accomplishments could be achieved perhaps
with even smaller expenditures but these prob
lems viii have to be worked out by the board
gradually"
Extravaganza should be stunned by the
board but with the same diligence and care
penuriousness should be avoided Money should
BE- spent but spent with eye single TO the
needs Of the city. Money should be saved but
not at the cost Of needed Improvements
Richmond is wealthy city but no city is
wealthy enough to squander money just as no
municipality is too poor to spend what money
il can secure for improvements that are neces-
sary.

HIGHLY RESPECTED
COLORED MAN DIES

Sheppard Shorts. sixty years old.
Tor more than forty years janitor Of
the Virginia court OF appeals, died

of friends among the white people IN
this city. He was quiet and digniffed.
and treated every one with courtesy.
He was a first cousin Of Edward
Brown. who died about a year ago.
Brown had charge of the stackroom
in the law library up to the time Of
his death,
Shorts was native OF this city and
spent hts entire lie here. He was for
a number of years deacon in the First

ROOSEVELT PRAISES WILSON


Mr.. Roosevelt never opens his mouth to
curse Woodrow Wilson that he does not add

Is the American people He never assails the
siandand-bearer OF true progressivism that he
does not add to his following.
Roosevelt has never before hesitated TO apply
H. any and all who might oppose him any
epithet that might come TO mind. Liar and
thief aud crook and pickpocket common.
The dictionary of vituperation and the rocabu-
larry OF the fshmonger have been diligently
searched for words wherewith 10 assai his

citation. To hurl the lie at some IL to
convict ones self of untruthfulness To seek

Il cast in the iron mould OF rectitude IL

When Theodore Roosevelt declares that
Woodrow Wilson is academic he admits that
nothing worse can be said OF him. He admits
that In all his vocabulary there is no more
opprobrious word which could be said with
any FEASIBILITY That Wilson Is not academic
in the sense intended by Mr.. Roosevelt is we'll
known, but when did he stop with the truth?
Roosevets denunciations are always several
times more forcefu than warranted by the
occasion and for him to say of Mr. Wilson that
4 he is academic is praise from his lips
When mans character is such that Theo-
deere Roosevelt find worse than this TO
say Of him, that mans character is well forti-
fed
In this campaign Roosevelt has never Crap
pied with Wilson that he did not off de-
feated. His latest attack TO fail was his at
tempt to line up the Democratic candidate with
the bosses Mounting untruths 10 this effect
he Vas met with the most forcefnl Of all argn-
nents. which is deeds. Wilson answered his
charge by renewing the fight on Jim" smith
whose ambition to represent New Jersey in
the United States senate has kindled anew
To deeds. Roosevelt again opposed words de-
elarlng that the Democratic candidate was
fighting boss (Smith) while going happily
70 bed with another tNugent1. Nugent, OF
course has been shorn Of power in SO far as
Ii lis possible for Wilson to do it, but that
equally matter OF course. does not deter
Mr.. Roosevelt from saying otherwise.
This incident illustrates the disadvantages
under which Roosevelt rests in his fight with
Wilson. He cannot meet his arguments with
other arguments and can meet his deeds only
with vain words His forte is vituperaton
and opposed by candidate whose character is
such that denunciatory shafts are powerless to
harm him Roosevelt is bereft of all weapons
and can but foam at the mouth in impotent
rage.

IS keen and presented to the country in poetic,
but incsive language
Could any one fail to recognize the one who
lives day in thiss
spake the One. supreme eternal to the one
Who'll ives day:
Why the drum beat and the bugIe cali and
militant array?
Why the blatant voice resounding? Why the
challenge and the boast?
And the answer; is it not characteristic?
And the transient made answer: Il have
generated Thy host;
] have taken spear and buekier, I have girded
my sword,
And go TO Armageddon to do battle tor the
Lord "
The hypocrisy and almost blasphemous quail
fty OF his statement that I'VE stand at Armal
grddon and battle for the Lord is shown in
the following two verses:
Spake the One supreme eternal: Have call
ed on thee to save?
Oh, My captains must be humble ere they clam
or to be brave.
Not for theb casting chieftain. nor :he one
who seeks his own,
Not Goliath with his armor but the lad with
sling and stone
Yea. It's he who asks for nothing and who
dreams of no reward.
Who shall fight at Armageddon in the battle
Of the Lord"
Spake the One supreme eternal: Cast thy
clanking armor by;
Fling thy sword to those who gave it; drain
thy braggart fountain dry;
Break thy sordid dream of power; set thy
blinded followers free.
Ere thou dare to raise My standard or presume
to follow Me;
Pledge thy soul to all disaster to fulfill my
given Word,
Then go forth TO Arma geddon and do battle
for the Lord"
He has not pledged his soul to disaster but
to lf-seeking. His armor is that of the
ambition which caused Lucfer's fall and not
the armor of Cod: his sword is the sword of
materialsm and not OF the spirit; his dream
is of power for himself and not OF the triumph
of Gods given word. His dream shall be turn
cd into a nightmare, his sword shattered into
fragments and his armor pierced In every Joint.
