MAMIE A VTRGINIAN.

Press dispatches from Washington tell us
that many, If not the majority, of the Vir
ginia candidates for the Federal Circuit court
of the Judiciary department and that not more
than two three Of them are eligible for Judge
COTS place.
SO be IT. The Tfr9intdn has no candidate
for the vacancy to be caused by Judge COTS
resignation, though quite naturally II would pre-
fer Richmond man II the city could offer
one capable of filing the position. as it can,
but 1t does believe that a yirgInian should be
appointed There need be no invidious com.

Ia superior to several who have offered them

ginians who wish the judgeship is as we'll able
to I'LL the position as any who have been men
toned. which Is TO say that more than one
Virgtnian is well worthy OF appointment at the
hands Of Attorney-General McReynoIds.
Virginia has never had circuit judge Every
other State has been honored, South Carolina,
North Carolina, West Virginia and Maryland
has each furnished Circuit court Judge for the
Fourth circuit Virginia only has not There
Is no disposition to complain of this. Those
who have been named were excellent men and
learned judges. So far as we know, there has
been nothing to be said against any of them,
and much to be said for them all. But now
that fifth nomination is to be made the honor
should go to Virginia. If Virginia could not
furnish the for the place, or were there
some one man from OF the other States
rising head and shoulders above ALL 1t would
be Il different matter, and The Tfrginian would
be the last to utter word of complaint should
the honor go elsewhere. Such conditions do
not exist This State has more than one who
can fill the position with credit and who could
fill 1t well as any other who has been men.
toned Virginia's turn has come From every
angle from which the situation can be viewed
the appointment belongs TO this State So far
as most of us can see, there is no reason under
the sun why this State should not receive It,
Virginia is the logical State from which to
choose, a federal judge for the Fourth circuit
Any one of several will suit the vast majority of

COLTS CAUGHT THE
BROAD ST. CROWDS

When. Steve Griffin and several of
his Colts walked up Broad street Sat
urday with baseball bats on their
shoulders, the crowds of promenaders
and pikers deserted the show windows
and followed the heroes up the street.
The bunch of players carried six
brand new bats, and they had a num-
Der of Spaldings best In their pockets.
With some good weather today.
Steve will have his Colts doing the
Embarrassing stunt out in the western
suburbs, and the fans will begin to
feel happy.
1t is useless to say that every fan
in Richmond wants to see the Colts
walk off with the flag this season,
and II is equally as useless to say
that the Colts will prove stronger in
every respect this year than ever be-
fore. These things are said year after
year---at the beginning of warming
up season Then excuses and apolo-
giles fall over each other in rapid sue
cession trying to be heard.
Let us all hope, however, that the
Colts will come out in the lead, or
very near to it this season

PEOPLES FORUM
Mother Jones.

Editor of the Virginia:
Sir:--In reference to an article OF recent date
appearing In your columns. holding Mother
Jones'' responsible for of the rioting in
West Virginia, permit TO say that in my
opinion neither Mother Jones' any official
any way responsible Instead, IL | am rightly
informed 1 think / am, the coal operators OF
Paint and Cabin Creek and their hired guards
the cause of it all.
With the protection of some of the State Of
ficials, If not all, they have caused the riotng.
If these operators had given their men the same
consideration that other operators in the State
OF West Virginia have given theirs the troubles
would have occurred. Instead. they ig-
nored the wants of their employees in all of their
demands, which in our opinion were just ana
right. and which to be shown lay the
fact that other operators granted these name de-
mands to their men, This is proof that the de-
mands were honest and deserved consideration
at the hands of all who wished to deal squarely
with their employees.
The United Mine Workers of America do not
believe in the destruction of property In rioting
or in other evils, but instead do all in their
power to promote harmony and peace. The
same cannot be said of the Paint and Cabin
Greek operators. 1t has been stated in many
press the poor is little short of murder, and in
my opinion il be said that this be APP
piled to the Paint and Cabin Creek operators.
A poor state of affairs exists when the people
that produce all of the commodity that is used
by society have not the right to ask for liv-
ing wage that they may be able to furnish those
dependent upon them with the necessities

Don't! Not that Mr.. Montague would not make

out by nature especially for judges, and who,
while capable of rendering notable service on
the bench, are only mediocre elsewhere. But
Mr.. Montague has all the qualities for valuable
service that are particularly demanded in public

needs men like him among the leaders, thinkers

MONUMENT 10 JACKSON.

The. jackson Monument Association has de-
cided to give to Richmond the first opportunity
to subscribe funds with which TO erect an eoues.
trian statue to General StonewalI jackson.
There are thousands of people in the South who
would be glad to help in honoring the great
war hero of the Confederacy and from some
sections have come appeals to be allowed TO
participate, but for the present the association
will receive funds from Richmond people only.
Here the statue is to be erected, and It is
thought best that Richmond people should raise
the nrst instalment of the money needed for the
purpose
Here is labor of love. The Vsrganlan is
confident that Richmond win do her part
quickly, and calls attention to the fact that the
subscription list is open only for the purpose
of letting 1t be made more widely known.

Ihomas s. Martin were not surprised to learn
that he had retired from the race for the leader

senator Martin sacrificed personal ambition in
doing this, but he ahead contest which
would be antagonistic to the peace and harmony
prevailing in united party. He is whole

matchless leader who does not measure the
worth of a man TO his party by either his pro-
greSsive or conservative principles but rather
by deeds which make for party interest and
success. That party peace and harmony should
be marred for him, even though it meant pro-
bable honor, 1t not our senior Senator.-Fauquier
