1t is to be hoped that the rumors to the eff
feet that certain leaders Of the Democratic
marty in the house and senate will exert all
their powers to the end that real tariff reform
shall be defeated during the extra session of
congress is based entirely upon the wishes OF
certain interested parties and not upon any
evidence to that effect. The Virgintan
believes that 1t is.
There Is no excuse for any mistake in this
direction. The people Of the United States
favor tariff revision downward That has
been proven time and time again. AS has
been pointed eHt, whenever the question OF
revision has been emphasized revision has

SHIFTING THE BLAME.

Modern yellow journalism must answer for
many sins. Journalism of any kind makes
mistakes apd will be held responsible for
them. Most people will agree with this, as
most people take great delight in pointing out
the niquities of others and those of a news
paper are like the city that is set on a hill,
b holden by all men.
The truth being admitted, then, by press
ard public, 1T seems a little strange at first
that there should be attempts. to saddle upon
the press not only its own SINS but all the sins
CT society. On reflection. however, this also
might be explained The tendency of men is
rot only to point out the sins of others, but to
shift their own onto the shoulders OF their
friends and neighbors Ages ago people look
ed for someone to bear the responsibility for
their own misdeeds, and hit upon the devil
equal to the task modern journalism has
been selected to serve as his understudy. 1t

Mrs Sophia Wojnowski and her eighteen

farmers, who took special courses in agricul-

emigrate to this country. They speak i've

Virginia's Dilemma.

Because the University of Virginia took the
position that 1t could not play Washington and
Lee in football except on its own grounds In
Charlottesville, there has been game for
several years between these institutions. Wash
ington and Lee has contended that the place
for games should alternate between Charlottes-
vile and Lexington be played neutral
ground, but to this proposal the university has
declined to agree.
Two weeks ago Virginia Military institute
defeated the university and next year when ne
gotiations open looking to another game the
cadets will insist that 1t take place in Lexing-
ton or in some city other than Charlottesville
Football fans throughout the State will await
with eager interest Virg MAS reply IL Its
management agrees to V. M. lis terms, 1t will
abandon completely the attitude 1t has assumed
towards Washington and Lee If 1t should re-
iect the terms, It's action will arouse Storm OF
criticism
Virginia's dilemma IS very real To main
tain its dignity and demonstrate the reason
abieness of its past contentious. II must insist
that V. NJ. I. play 10 Charlottesville not play
at all. The problem Is tough. We hope, how
ever, that 1t may be solved In a manner salts
factory to the two teams and gratifying to
lovers of athletics throughout Virginia. This can
