The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-06-14

Just before sailing for Europe yesterday
Chauncey NJ. Depew. evidently suffering from
ingrowing indigestion, said: There will be little
progress In the United States until the business
men have educated the government away from
false doctrines. World peace is but a dream.
Only one battleship a year Is ridiculous. II we
had war with Japan or Germany we would be
licked out of our boots for two years. After q
while we might get an army together and drive
out the invaders"
Chauncey Depew evidently knows nothing of
the adage Of growing old gracefully. Chief jes-
ter, by courtesy, of America for so many years,
accepted head of after dinner jocundity. master
of merriment when men were primed and pre-
pared to be merry on slight suggestion, 1t Is
pitiful to see him soured and pessimistic in his
later years. AS a veteran theoretical railroad
man, Mr.. Depew had great opportunity to teach
us correct doctrines. Long service as senator
from one Of the most powerful States In the
Union should have produced something more than
fame as a story teller after feasts. 1t is easy
to scold and fret and forecast calamity when
fortune and vast opportunity have not produced
any very special honors. This newspaper does
not believe In nor encourage war, but II it comes
there will be large satisfaction in making some
OF these calamitists and ~fatalists eat their
gloomy predictions.

THE PRIMARY RESULT.

The result of the primary election of Thursday
will not satisfy everybody, for the friends Of
the defeated candidates will naturally feel dis
appointment that they will not have to repre-
sent them in office their chosen ones, but it is
a satisfaction to know that OF the men chosen,
certainly most of them. there is nothing but good
to be said. In city onices the people will have
men who have served them well and In the house
OF delegates they will have three members who
have served before and the two new men enjoy
the confidence of the people to a marked degree.
The Vtrginian took no part in the campaign,
for the reason that 1t did not think 1t necessary
to support any one OF the nine candidates for the
house and did not believe that In the election
of any of the candidates for the local Offices
there was any great principle involved. If we
could have ordered things as we pleased we
might have made a few changes in the house
membership. but. be that as It may. 1t offers its
congratulations to the successful ones and hopes
for them a good, clean record Of service, such As
will entitle and win them reelection two years
hence.
The Ettainiaa also wishes to offer Its con-
gratulations to the successful candidates for the
shrievalty, city sergeantcy and commissioner OF
revenue. Sheriff Mercer. Sergeant Satterneld
and Commissioner Tresnon have served the city
we'll during their tenure Of ONCE. II others

citizens. The offices belong to the people and 1t
is for them to bestow them where they will

Flowers For the Sick.
Mrs. Wilson, wife of the president, doesn't
figure in public functions very much or with
letters favoring certain reforms. but she Just
gets right down and does things. The other
day she sent a lot Of cut flowers and potted
plants from the White House conservatory 10
hundreds Of sick rooms In the hospitals OF the
capital. That was a sensible and heartfelt act.
Maybe the visitors at the White House didn't
see or smell so many flowers for a DAY or so,
were sick and in distress did. There is a sort
of thoughtfulness that counts. There y moth
ing that does the sick more good than a gift
Of fresh flowers. All honor to Mrs. wilson
for this noble-hearted thoughtfulness, and all
honor to those who initiate this gracious act.
Every sick bed in this city should be graced
by a bunch Of flowers every morning. There
are plenty Of them and God makes plenty OF
them for this purpose.-Ohio State Journal.
Watcred Scholarship.
The authorities at Columbia university have
refused to award a diploma to a senior who has
not learned to swim the length Of the pool in
would have been deemed absurd. There are
those who are unable to swim the length OF q
gymnasium pool and a students qualifications
for q degree OF bachelor Of arts. They are
the people who believe that the only beneht to
be derived from attendance at college IL OBJ
tanned from books. The requirements i'm
posed at Columbia is an indication Of the more
practical turn that Is being given to educational
effort In recent times.
While most boys learn to swim without the
aid OF college or pven-eeHnmon -achnol instruc-
ton. there are few things acquired in 4 UNI
versity Of more practical value. Everyone not
disqualified should be moderately pro-
ncient in the art Of keeping anoat In the water.

City Attorney Long in his speech
commented on the speed with which
the construction work has been
started and OF how the structure will
be symbolic Of the power and majesty
