Is Love a Form of
Lunacy?

We hope all the true, romatic lovers in Mary

in the Suns letter column denounces love as a
species of lunacy 1t is a SANDER old as the
moon, but none the less outrageous for all that
Love sign of insanity, indeed. 1t is the
only condition of real sanity. 1t is the only
condition of real happiness. 1t is the only con-
dition of real life. The man who has never
experienced it has never lived. The, man who
relapses from it has lost his mental and moral
balance. The man who has never tasted 1t has
missed the supreme bliss of existence. The man
who never to himself hath said, This Is my own
my only one, my precious tootsy- wootsy, or
the girl who never to herself hath said, This is
the king OF men and chief among ten thou

not true; ask any June groom and see how many
stacks of Bibles he will his fervent af-

once more the word sour from the cynical

CONGRATULATIONS

All the world loves lover and when the
lover happens to be a daughter OF the chief
magistrate of nation unusual interest attaches
to the affair. The people of Richmond will
read of the engagement of Miss Jessie Wilson
with more interest than those of cities out
side New Jersey and the East generally, be-
cause they remember her visit here last spring
They remember the charming personality of
the young woman-her seriousness relieved by
good nature and love of life-with pleasant
memories and join with the rest of the country
in feicitating her and congratulatng her hus
bandtobe. His name, by the way, is Francis

The West Virginia State senator found guilty
of bribery, faces prison sentence. Let it be
hoped that he gets it. West Virginia with her
honest debts to her mother unpaid, with her
strikes and martial law. with her legislative
scandals and with charges of bribery and
rupton in elections has not been object of
envy since she was stolen from Virginia, but If
she will send some OF her grafters to jail she
will do much to establish herself In the good
estimation Of the country and take her right
full place among the States of the nation.
Commenting upon the conviction of the one
senator and the probability of other convictions
following the Roanoke Times says:
In West virginia Il Jury has come true to the
Old Virginia idea OF justice and enforcement
Of the law II has found State senator guilty
of accepting bride for his vote for United States
senator and he Is likely to go to the penitentiary
for from six to ten years Five or six other
members of the State legislature are accused on
the same evidence and on the same testimony
of the same crime. 1t is the worst OF all crimes
1T Is betrayal of sacred trust. treason to the
people whose confidence had been invited and
support solicited.
The example may be terrible. 1t is solemn
and awful fact when six men, standing we'll in
their communities, honored and trusted by their
fellow citizens, sent to wear degrading
st rines and to labor as slaves within prison
walls to have fixed to their names stigma which
all the years that to come cannot fade, which
will cling TO their names and the names of their
families and descendants through generations.
Yet it is necessary sometimes that the law be
terrible. 1t is better that "A few men perish or
| be shamed forever than that an entire Common
wealth and people be demoralized and degraded.
We hope the laws and people and honesty of
West Virginia will assert themselves in this in
stance 1t will help powerfully in the mother
and daughter States to turn ordinary from
forgetting their manhood and selling 1t and taxi

Underwater and Eastern Virginia vote. He is a
good man and good lawyer and nobody Will

The AttorneyG eneralship

John Garland Pollard of Richmond is learned
in the law. He is a well rounded lawyer. he is
keen of perception, broad of concept high of
purpose--dlgent, painstaking, conscientious;
alert and careful to meet the full requirements
of the tasks that set before him. His public
record speaks to his distinguished honor. His
private life is above and beyond reproach.
John Garland Pollard aspires to be the next
attorney general OF Virginia He submits his
ambition to the arbitrament of the Virginia
Democracy. He rests his candidacy upon honor
able, creditable. meritorious considerations, and
upon what his friends convinced, IS his
emnenty satisfactory equipment TO we'll and
faithfully perform the duties of Virginia chief
law officer.
Mr.. Pollard is progressive Democrat in State
and national politics His progressfvesm is in
accord with that of Woodrow Wilson. His code
of political ethics, his standards of political cour
those of the president. He believes in the Demo-
crazy of human rights-he believes the Firginian
Democracy should be thoroughly Democratizeo
so thoroughly that hereafter VIII be
automatically stamped with practical in
eligibility to hold State office if he dares with
hold alignment from this faction of the organi-
zation from that. He is Democratic leader
an earnest, militant, progressive Democratic
Ileader-fearing no party clique, and in servi-
Itude to to any set of men. That's
Pollard. His face is toward the morning.
He leads in the direction of improved condi-
Itons. He represents splendid inspiration in
Virginia politics-he is gentleman, nobiy
solved; fully brayely equipped with the at
hood-4t Njrginian to whom any other Nirginian
can give the tribute of his support, and feel
that the act reflects careless disregard of Vir-
ginias interests. but rather Will tend to her great
advantage.
The News takes occasion to expess the con-
viction that John Garland Pollard should be the
