WELCOME AND FAKrMrII..

Richmond is fortunate in being able 10 enter
tain within the short space Of two weeks two
sTeat conventions composed Of men and women
devoted to tt betterment Of social ard educa-
tioual conditions tn this country Just as one
body Of conseerated women finish their discus
sions Of plans for aiding in the spiritual moral
and physical development Of v'srnanhood Of the
nation, second body Of men and women work
ing along different lines, but with the same end
IN view for all classes and sexes Of the South,
begins IT'S sessions here
The Young Woman's Christian association
convention. which has been meeting in Richmond
three times day for a woea, held its conclud-
ing session last night Uudonbtedly they have
Increased their knowledge Of the conditions they
are seeking to remedy and have learned much Of
the best methods Of accomplishing the ends they
have in view. Richmond people also have gained
from their presence here and from having had
the opportunity Of hearing some Of the we'll
Informed and interesting speakers who have ad.
dressed them. The convention has been a source
of inspiration and Of light to residents Of the city
As well as to the delegates and there is every
reason No believe that the work Of the local as.
ISOLATION has received an impetus forward as the
result Of the meeting of the convention.
Tomorrow a body Of men and women meet to
plan for the advancement OF education rural
life tax reform and civic conditions in the
Southern states. These people also will he here
for heavy work. and they. too, will furnish the
citizens Of Richmond with enjoyment and in.
formation. Their work should result in greater
things for the South by increasing the oppor-
tunity for information and knowledge as TO
phat should be done to ameIiorate those condi-
lions which need amelorating, to increase the
efficiency Of educational methods and to make
life in the rural sections more profitable and
more pea42nt
The people Of Richmond bid farewell to one
convention with expressions Of sincere pleasure
at having had them with them and with the hope
that they have enjoyed their stay; they bid vel
come to the other with the belief that they will
receive and give as much good through their
stay and with the hope that they will thoroughly
enjoy themselves while here.

A DELICATE SITUATION.

son may find themselves presently with their
heads whirIing in attempts to reconcile our po-
sition toward other powers. We abrogated our
treaty with Russia because she would not allow
our Jewish citizens on her soil Now. suppose
Japan proposes to abrogate her treaty with us
because we refuse TO allow Japanese TO own
land or become voters? Our government is not
responsible for the action Of the California leg
islature excluding the Japanese, but the cxclu-
sion Will exist and the emperor Of Japan may
inquire properly who is responsible for course
unfriendly to his country and Discriminating
against his people. He cannot treat with the
State Of California, and. II he should undertake
to hold her responsible. we would he compelled
to defend her at any cost and no matter how
much in the wrong her State government may
be
To the average citizen the niceties Of diplomacy
are mysterious and complicated the complex
ties of the lie seven times removed In "As You
Like II" We have first the informal and then
the formal representation. Apparently when
IT gets to the protest it is very serious indeed
and we seem to be nearing that stage in the
communication between the president and the
japanese ambassador. What President Wilson
will do unable and unwilling to interfere In the
internal affairs Of a State and with that State
persistently offending a friendly foreign power
and with our course toward Russia staring us In
tire face IS a question which may tax ingenuity
and statecraft.
