Sill wish to call your attention
TO Bryan Park Through the seneros-
ity OF Mr. Joseph B-yan's family, ihis
beautiful piece Of wooded land was
donated 10 the city OF Richmond as a
public park. Il contains more than
$50 acres OF what some consider the
most beautiful park property around
the c!;y OF Richmond.
At the present time. in consequence
Of the double fare charged on the
Lakeside line. many Of our citizens are
debarred the pleasure of going there
and taking their families II the Vir-
sin!a Railway ana Power Companr
could ae induced TO make single fare
pay tho transportation 10 the park. but
no further II would render our citizens
a great service
Would It not be Well TO take some
notice Of this matter IN your editorial

and earned for themselves the name
OF Fathers OF the Country Fifty
/ years ago a tremendous crisis in our

sues great statesmen from both the
North and the South. Their great
I ness again was founded on devotion
to certain principles that they be-
lioved to he true. They put these
principles TO the final arbitrament Of

This year In two great conventions

statesmen. and. with two or three ex-
ceptions. 1T was answered by mot
~ crew of small politicians. Il Is
wNh profound disappointment that
those who believe in the traditions of
their country view the fumbl!ng ef
forts of the present generation of
public servants to meet an issue on
broad principles. There has been no
sign OF greatness thus far. Bravado,
billings-sate. machine trickery, com

as urgent and as simple. 1t is i
question of money versus manhood
their own labors. or shall certain
few reap these benefits?
1t IS fortunate that the welfare OF
the nation does not depend upon the
abilities OF those who now guide its
destinies. 1t is fortunate shat the
rrodigsl blessings of nature and tho
inherent common sense and honesty
OF the people do in some way make
FOR progress But if III the course OF
events, these guides should be re-
moved; who would arise with the gift
OF courage and moral earnestness to
meet a new test? Suppose there
should he a general failure OF crops
throughout the United States. or Il
great conflict between labor and cap
ital. which of the so-called leaders
would then have the ability to leaG?
In whom of those now bargaining ana
waiting and STUMBLING could the peo-
pie put their faith? These modern
statesmen are trained not to meet
solid facts on equally secure prin-
ciplcs. but to deal with temporary
and escapable conditions By temporiz-
ing We have a surfeit OF small poll
ticlans VINO can run steam rollers and
patronage machines; VINO seek for
personal glory and prestige in minor
