Ex-Governor c. y. Haskell United

that United States Senator owen

ber As United States Senator owen
was the democratic primary choice
IN the primaries, and led his repub-
lican opponent over 10000 in the
general election on a preference

election whatever, since a democrat
who should vote against him would
face the unanimous disapproyal OF
his party.
Governor Haskells close friends
deprecate such a report as has

him a LNufest injustice.
The statement issued by the dem

"Unite6 States Senator Robert l..

STRONG MEN.

+ From the whirlagig of politics come agree
able as we'll as disappointing emissions Taken
all in ALL however, Virginia has had little to
complain OF in her State government during the
last quarter of a century. Her account has
showed on the right side of the balance sheet
As In the past, so now there will be strong men
at the head of government, and the legislature
will continue to furnish her quota of able men.
Tax revision will furnish meat for digestion,
and it is not doubted that next winter will bring
to the front men who will be able to handle the
yexed question. Speaking OF strong men, 1t is
pertinent, since the eovernortobe has publicly
congratulated him, to felicitate Virginia upon
the almost certain return to the halls OF legis-
latfon Of the Tall Sycamore of Rockingham "
Elk Senator George r. Keezell, among other able
men who are Democratic candidates In one
respect, at least, this statesman follows in the
footsteps Of the llustrious Thomas Jefferson who
declined seat in congress that he might better
serve his State in her Legislature. Keezell with
drew from the State senate to unravel the mazes
his county's treasury had gotten into, and now
Is willing to come back to the lower house to
lend his brain in solving the yexed tax problem.
He will find other big minds there to aid In
the work, but the State and her governor
will look to the towering figure to be always
in the thickest of the fight

A Question of Courage

During the recent primary campaign Mr.
John Garland Pollard OF the candidates for
the office of attorney general, declared in a
public speech, that Mr.. Hal Flood, a represen-
tative in congress from Virginia. had gone to
tain representatives of the whiskey interests
away from their support of Mr.. Gordon Cum
ming and in oehass of Attorney General VIII
Hams in order to defeat him (Pollard) for the
nomination.
Mr.. Floods reply to the charge was very
direct and emphatic If rather unparilamentary.
lie said 1t was false, and that Mr. Pollard ut
tered II knowing it TO be false The denial was
in language much more forcible than we have
the words used by Mr.. Flood would have led
to a personal encounter, and doubtless some of
the "old- timers' expected "a similar outcome in
this instance Mr.. Pollard, however has seen
fit to dismiss the whole matter with the retort
that he didn't what Mr. Flood called him
long he did not call him his friend.
AS friend and supporter of Mr.. Pollard In
his recent campaign, we do not consider the
above answer sufficient, any more than a per
sonal alteration the killing Of by the
other would have settled the merits Of the con-
troversy.
The charge made by Mr.. Pollard was a seri-
1t against honorable gentle
man. who enjoys the confidence and respect of
a large part of the people of his State. If it
was true calling Mr.. Pollard liar doesn't lessen
the offense, and II 1t not true Mr.. Polalrds
somewhat hippant rejoinder does not detract
from the injustice he has done Mr.. Flood.
1t seems to that Mr.. Pollard Is face to
face with the real test of personal courage. He
should either prove his charge. or. If upon a
full investigation he finds that he has done Mr..
Flood an injustice, he should make manly
apology and Observation-Disclosures Prog

CHTMBoRAzo FAIRGROUNDS.

Results OF the night recreation work started
at the Chmborazo Fairgrounds on July 7th have
far exceeded the expectations of those who plan
ned IT, and the popularity of the Fairgrounds
has aroused the people of Church Hill to the
opportunities offered by recreational work in the
city communities
People who had never before seen special
virtue In municipal Fairgrounds are testifying
to the value of them as result Of reformation
In the lives OF certain gangs on Church Hill who,
before they found proper outlet for their natural
spirits vented themselves in making mischief
and causing trouble
Boys and young who have hitherto spent
their hours in ideness on street corners and
alleys, where recreation OF doubtful kind Is
INDUCED in, are now regular visitors to the
Chimborazo Fairgrounds both day and night
The policemen stationed on Church Hill have
noticed the difference, and say that they are
having less trouble with young gangsters since
the opening of the recreation grounds.
Some idea of the popularity of the night work
at Chimborazo can be gained by reference to the
figures for the attendance there during the
month of July. From July 9TH 10 July 5ist,
500 people visited these grounds, In one
month more people have visited this recreation
place and engaged in the wholesome play offered
there than have probably visited the whole Of
Chimborazo park in six months before.
! The people OF this section of the city are real
izing the benefits to their children, and are OF
the opinion that one of the circles In the park
can be very easily spared and without injury to
the rest of the spacious park, for a playground
for their children, They give credit however,
to the city authorities for their attitude toward
the use of the parks by the people, which is far
more lenient than that Of the authorities of days
gone by. Keep off the grass signs no longer
appear on the greensward Of Chimborazo, for
mer keeper and believer in the better use o.
parks having pulled the last up, The pres
ent keeper of the park takes the same attitude
and the people continue to get more enjoymen
out of what they consider rightfully theirs.
The day and night playground work at Chin
borazo has demonstrated what municipal recre
alton can do for a city community, and othe
communities Of Richmond are biding their tim
for their share of this much needed improve
,, ment

directed the city engineer to proceed
as quickly as possible with the smooth
paving of Twenty fifth street, between
Broad and Grace streets. This block

of the two churches have endeavored

mentioned. a number OF years ago

proposition, on the grounds that the
cars would interfere with worship IN

ALL MUST YIELD SOMETHING.

Long discussion Of the question OF annexa-
ton has demonstrated two things 1t has shown
that the sentiment of the people of Richmond
and outlying territory. far disclosed, is
largely in favor OF liberal annexation policy
and 1t has shown that plan that can be con-
ceived will be entirely satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
1t is therefore incumbent upon the city coun-
ell to report an annexation ordinance that comes
as near as possible to meeting the views of
the greatest number, and 1t Is incumbent upon
all patriotic citizens to accept such ordinance,
even though It does not suit each individuals
whole views upon the subject
In a case of this kind each must give up to
Others in some direction. 1t is impossible to
please every one or for that matter anyone
fully For that reason The Virginian hopes that
the council will give careful consideration to the
plan formulated by it's special committee and
adopted by IT, and that, If it finds that it har-
monies conflicting ideas as nearly as possible,
will accept it. 1t also expresses the hope and
belief that all interested will show themselves
willing to yield something here and there in
order that annexation may not be defeated.
