his order.
Building Inspector Butler saw the
bad condition of the building as soon
as excavations had begun for the
Stumpf hotel addition, and warned
the occupants to close the place and
get out. Kolr.nbon asked h in
spector TO permit him to remain un-
til Saturday night, when he would
close. This permission was given,
but the man opened again on Sum-
day. Mr.. Butler remained on the
job, and went down to take a look
at the place Sunday morning. He
found the restaurant in full blast. A
mar was getting some fried eggs,
and another man was waiting his turn
to be served. The inspector made in

ways that enabled this vast mineral wealth
to be marketed. It was to build these roads
and railroads that a considerable portion of this
old debt for which West Virginia was recently
so haughtily defying any responsibility, and It
is to these ancient expenditures that the present
prosperity OF the State is in large measure due.
Such a wealthy State cuts a sorry figure within.

The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-07-15

The esteemed Richmond Virginian calls on
rs to point out when and how 1t has been con
clusively demonstrated" that the abolition of
the army Canteen was a mistake.
Well. the vast majority OF the officers who
have commanded army posts within the last
twelve or thirteen years are on official record
as declaring that since the abolition of the can
teen there has been marked physical and moral
deterioration among the enlisted men and that
the relation between the abolition of the can
teen and this deterioration Ia one of cause and
effect. The same thing Is also true of the vast
majority OF the members of the medical corps
Of the army. These officers and physicians
speak from hrst-hand knowledge acquired
through personal observation and actual daily
contact with the conditions described. II such
evidence, offered in overwhelming mass. is not
conclusive what evidence would or could be ?
Certainly 1t Is conclusive" to the minds of the
chief of staff of the army, of practically all the
district commanders and OF several successive
secretaries OF war. each and all of whom have
characterized the abolition of the canteen as a
mistake and urged upon congress the duty and
necessity of correcting 1t. or course, there Is no
convincing those who do not wish to be con-
WINGED. The blindest OF oil blindness is that
which will not see.-Newport News Press.

The Clifton Forge Reptep calls attention to
the fact that a newspaper man was recently ac-
cepted for jury service In the Corporation
Court of Lynchburg. and the efforts the coun-
sci for the defense exerted to keep him of. 1t
is a rare thing that a newspaper man Is called
upon either for a witness or a juryman-they
are too smart for the average lawyer.

Time to Pay Up.

West Virginia newspapers are busy proclaim
ing the wealth of their State, the wonderful
progress she is making In all directions, ct
cetera. Yet West Virginia has for several years
rested contentedly under a judgment Of the
Supreme Court OF the United States which labels
her as a defaulting debtor to the State Of Vtr-
ginia in the sum Of seven millions OF dollars,
with other millions of accrued interest not yet
imputed. 1t used to be said that Brag was a
good dog, but Holdfast a better. Our neighbor
and friend seems to be trying to play both roles
at once. To us 1t appears that the time has
arrived when West Virginia should either shut
up about her plethora Of riches, or put up"
what she owes honest creditors.-Newport

MARKET STREET JAMMED
Hours before the time set for the
parade Market street became alive
with people waiting for Balboa and
his procession.
At IL o'clock Market street was
lined with solid ranks OF spectators
while the pageant passed between a
packed mass OF human beings that
reached from the ferry building to
Eleventh street.
No trouble was experienced by the
police in keeping the crowd In order.
A large force of officers on foot kept
the crowds back of the ropes. while
the mounted men hurried back and
forth between stations to aid in main
tanning order.
Chief White received many compli-
ments for the manner IN which his
men handled the enormous crowd.

BALBOA COMES
SLOWLY UP BAY

Not long after the mist began to
lift from the bay a tiny ship rose on
the crest of wave and sank back
out of sight. The watchers in the
lighthouse IN the Golden Gate saw IT
rise again and then. stay in sight.
Balboa. navigator among navlgators,
was coming. By the time the sun
was out his fraff caravei was Sliding
smoothly along past Fort Point
COMES SLOWLY UP BAY
Slowly, compared with turbine
steamer time, vasco Nunez hoated
past Meiggs wharf, past somber
warehouses; while launches putt
putted in circles around his vessel
and tugs, steam schooners, tramps
and passenger carriers footed merry
good morning.
Ferry boats forgot schedules, be-
lated passengers who still entertained
vague hopes of finding standing room
in Market street waved a greeting,
and a few minutes later the caravel
fioated UP TO Mission street wharf. 1t
was a reception committee that met
him with reception committee formal
tiles well drilled into their minds. but
ceremony went by the board and in
formal and hearty welcome took its
place.
Along the EnnDarcadero were drawn
up the ~serrfed ranks that novelists
have inflicted on their readers for
centuries. To be sure, the United
States doesn't have serried ranks in
ftss army, but that Is the orthodox
way to describe IL.
MILITARY OUT IN FORCE
Colonel George Filmer was grand
marshal of the parade, and with him
were two more on horseback-Majo jor
Hampton of the army and Captain
Geary Of the coast artillery corps.
They were his aids.
Two regiments of infantry from the
Presidio-the Sixth and the Sixteenth
--jackies from the warships in the
harbor, their brass bands rfvaling
those of the army men in joyous
tunes. From the national guard
there were 1000 men, OF the coast
artillery corps, coast artillery re-
serves, an artillery band, the naval
militia of California and naval guns.
AS Balboa was still g. stranger and
d foreigner when he arrived there
was no decorative parade. That was
saved till the Portola crowds had de-
cided. the purpose of his visit was
friendly.
Just to give him q peaceful feel
Ing, the reception committee rode in
automobiles behind Balboa's retinue,
and so the parade started up Market
street
BALBOA AMAZED BY CoL0Rs
But il Market street wasn't
friendly to Balboa, 1t certainly was
out in force for something or other.
Gay Portole baskets hung from the
poles on the sidewalk and cheers
came from the, crowds at every step,
completely drowning out every band
in the parade.
Balboa somehow got the idea this
was a city, for occasionally he got
glimpse of a. building sticking out
behind bunting and flags. At first
he had the impression this was
farm for growing banners, and now
poor vasco. doesn't know which idea
is correct
