Again Side-Stepping
the Issue

In the vain effort to misead its readers. who
are not readers OF the Courier, the Richmond
Times Dispatch has again side-stepped the issue
raised by this paper and has gone OF into a
discussion of the fee system in Virginia This
has nothing in the world to do with the point
raised by the Courier, and the effort of the
Times Dispatch to dodge the issue Is pitiable
in the extreme. This paper has had nothing
20 say about the attack, position. OF the
Times Dispatch against the fee system. and no
one knows this better than the Richmond paper.
OF course the winnings of the Times Dispatch
that 1t has been made the object OF concerted
and carefully timed attack by the ring organs
in Danville. Blackstone. Irvlngton. Clifton Forge
and Richmond" Is too puerile for serious notice,
being more like the whimperings OF q spanked
child, trying to elicit public sympathy, than the
declarations OF a self-respecting journal and
can but show the desperation it has been driven
into in the effort to bolster up its i'll advised and
indefensible position.
Now as to the issues and the only issues be-
tween the Richmond paper and us, we are 10th
to refer to them again, since the Times-Dispatch
has plainly shown by Its avoidance OF these is
sues that 1t has no stomach for the night. And
we hate to hit a fellow when he Is down. even
il that fellow has been the aggressor and made
statements concerning us that he could not sus-
off into another direction in which he thinks
the pack will follow him. thus losing on false
trail the paths which would lead to facts and
justice. But II we must, must: SO here goes:
The issue raised by us towards the Times
Dispatch was its unwarranted attack upon the
legislature of Virginia by its accusation that
the general assembly of Virginia was largely
controlled by the officeholders of the State and
by the lobbyists which infest it's halls. We de-
MED this and called upon the accuser for proof.
This proof has not been Forthcoming. Why has
it not come? The only suppotition Is that the
accusation cannot he sustained: That the Times
Dispatch has perpetrated a gross and vindictive
libel upon the general assembly and, when call
ed to account, tries to sneak away under the
guise OF entirely different question. 1t tries
to bark its readers upon the fee system, while
ignoring the charge that 1t has perpetrated q
libel against the peoples general assembly. This
Is issue number one.
Now as to issue number two. While waiting
for the Times Dispatch to maks reply to the
denial referred to above, We begun to look about
for the cause of such deep seated hatred as was
ohiceholders OF the State and the lobbyist which
Y had said controlled the general assembly
What did We ind? That one cause for such
bssn forced 70 bring to faw thS chjog owners o.

A SOLUTION FOR MEXICO.

President Wilson seems determined that the
ibioody Huerta government shall not be recog.
snized at the mandate of few nations who have
money invested In Mexico and few individuals
in this country WHO want their chestnuts pulled
out OF the fire by the United States government
In this The Virginion believes the state depart
,1nent is taking the right course. and yet some
thing must be done. That President Wilson witt
;sio what be considers the right thing without
undue regard TO other nations and TO individ
uals who may suffer monetary loss we have no
doubt and confident in his ability to find
what is that right thing
At present we are doing nothing. probably be
cause the state department thinks nothing is at
this time the best thing to do Yet something
must be done. The nations which have protested
have interests IN Mckee which they wish safe
guarded. and while the fact that they have neg
lected their own duties in Eastern Europe should
estop too strong criticism OF us, IL does not re-
leve us of duty in Mexico The condf
lions In that country have become urgent. We
have stood watching the Mexcans fighting like
90 many cocks in pit. violating the rules OF
and disregarding ruthlessly the rights of for
ejgners, including our own people. Interpositon
by us would bring against us clamor not only
from the world generally, but from factions
among ourselves that we were undertaking a
var OF conquest and acquisition. We would be
Involved In an expensive bloody war without
'fAe worlds sympathy. and open 70 the charge

that we were giving lives and treasure for the
advantage Of millionaire investors
The way to extrication seems opened by the
European protest We could invite all the pow
ers interested. including Japan. whose citizens
have suffered with the others. to join with in a
protest and definite threat that II peace is not
restored and orderly government established
there will be united interference and occupation
as there was in China at the time of the Boxer
uprising. with the understanding OF concerted
evacuation when the safety OF foreign residents
was assured and assurance provided of indemnity
for past outrages.

A DIFFERENCE.

One great difference between the Owen-alass
currency bill and the Aldrich currency plan
is that the government controls the reserve as
sociations TO a great extent under one and the
banks control 1t entirely under the other That
is the difference between the North and South
poles and that Is the difference between the
Republican and Democratic measures.
The present bill may be amended considerably
In committee and further on the floor OF con-
gress. but that is one feature that has not yet
been successfully assailed, and should not be-

enormous headlines over the story of the In
stallation of a bath room? We could under
stand such action on the part OF the Houston
Post but in Richmond bath rooms ought to
be fairly common.-Charleston News and Cour-

The value of that news story rested in the
fact that there was found in Richmond one

The best OF us do not appreciate the blessings
showered upon This time year ago and
two years ago every citizen OF Southsde vir-
ginia was bowed in dependence over the poor
crop outlook. There had been no rain for
weeks. The earth parched and the crops
were burning up. Bankruptcy and starvation
appeared to threaten farmers

Is far different can be imagined The
