GREAT THINGS FOR RICHMOND.

Next week will be one OF the most important
OF the year in the commercial history Of Rich
nond. Upon the failure or success of Better
Acquaintance Week" depends much more than
appears on the surface. 1t means either that
Richmond will decline slightly in the estimation
Of the merchants of the South or that it viii
show an increase, which is TO say that hence
forth Richmond will secure much larger pro-
portion 6f the trade Of those merchants or viii
lose some Of that which it now has
Better Acquaintance Week" will be given up
to the entertainment Of the guests Of Richmond
II viii be q social affair but il will not end with
that. The hundreds who will be in the capital
city Of the Old Dominion will be here for pleas
ure and for social diversion. Their trip to Rich

will be vacation which they hope will rebound
To their profit and which Richmond expects will

ouaintance Week" is disclosed by the name. 1t
ia to bring merchants OF the South to Richmond
in order that they and the merchants Of Rich.
rnond may become better acquainted with each

they will become better acquainted with the ad

they may see for themselves what Richmond has

4 DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
DO 1T Now:

The Democracy of Virginia having spoken
there are now no differences among Democrats
The ticket nominated In the primary OF Tuesday
is the Democratic ticket and 1t is the duty of
every Democrat who participated in the primary
TO support that ticket That more OF them ala
not participate is unfortunate. for a free govern
ment cannot long exist where the people are
Indifferent and where they refuse to exercise the
duties as we'll as to accept the Dement'S. HOW
ever. those who voted have decided that they
wanted E1lvsou Koiner and Pollard. and that
81 the ticket which all loyal Democrats will be
called upon to support together with the four
nominees who had opposition
The victory of ]. Taylor Ellyson over Lewis
II Machen In the contest for the heutenantgoY-
ernorshfp was decisive and an impressive tribute
n q sterling Democrat Mr.. Ellyson has been
nominated for a third term and in November
win be elected The confidence of the people had
been gained by years Of devotion to the pemocra
tic marty and hard work In his BEHALF and his
triumph of Tuesday was as deserving as II
was nleasing.to his friends. especially as it was
won oyer an opponent of ability and merit
George w Koiner was renominated for com
missioner Of agriculture over a man OF recos
uized strength and ability and by large ma
icritv. In every section of the State he ran
strong. not depending upon any section Tor
victory, but showing strength in all After
fight in which some bitterness developed anc
in which strenuous efforts were made to detea
hin, Mr.. Koiner has won. His success may b.
taken as evidence that the people of Virginia
are satisfied with his twelve years conduct o
his office.
John Garland Pollard, whose nomination fol
attorney general over Samuel W. Williams Il
now practically certain, made an aggressive cam
palgn from the start and his nomination Is
tribute TO his personality and apparently AZ
endorsement by the people of Virginia for th'
things for which he stands. In him the STATE
will have a conscientious public official and on'
who will perform the duties of his office to th'
best Of his ability.
The result of the primary is now established
Some Of us are pleased and some OF us disap
nointed but let us repeat, the result Is one
achieved by Democrats in a family counsel L
settle differences and the ticket is not one O
a faction, but Of the Democratic party.

mutual good will basis upon which to work
It will not be so difficult to convince these men
Of the advantages of the city a trading center,
and, once convinced, their business will be done
in Richmond.
That is the idea of Better Acquaintance
Week" The fact that these men will travel
from many points In the South to see for them
selves what manner OF city this is Of which they
have heard so much proves that they are already
inclined to believe that they can deal with II to
their own advantage. We believe they can, and
we fail TO impress them
But Richmond will not fail. The people of this
city like these men for their own sakes They
have kindly feeling toward them because they
are men engaged In the same tasks with our.
selves-the upbulding of the South. We like
them because they have left their homes to visit
us. We want them here to enjoy themselves. We
know that failure to secure their business in the
future Is something not to be considered, for we
know that having the advantages to offer, we
can only fail by failing in hospitality, courtesy
and good will Knowing that we have good will
tertaining others is the only true hospitality,
and knowing that these men cannot fail to enjoy
a visit to beautiful, historic Richmond, we are
confident We are confident that our visitors
will have good time and that we, the hosts,
will have better. Closer social relations being
established closer business relations will follow
as a matter of course. We are concerned just
now only In playing the host to the best Of our
ability The rest can take care of itself
So it is that The Virginidn congratuates the
business men Of Richmond who have conceived
this idea of Better Acquaintance Week and
urges all the people OF Richmond to help then
In their plans. 1t is not necessary to urge them
TO give the Southern visitors cordial reception
1T is only necessary to remind them that they
are visitors.

IT is gratifying to know that at last move
ment has been inaugurated at Baltimore to erect
a monument to mark the last resting place of
the poet musician ana scholar, Sidney Lanier.
If there is and dear 10 Mont
Gomerians and Alabamans. 1t is that of Sidney
Lan-or. and whatever pertains to him is read
with interest by his thousands OF admirers here
and throughout the South.
Sidney Lanier is a name that grows in SPLEEN
dor as the years come and go. His fame grows
as his poems are read and reread by the rising
generations He musician. poet and
scholar and It is sad to know that hts grave
In Greenmount cemetery at Baltimore. where
he was buried In 1881, IS still unmarked and
few peope-even those at work in the cemetery
know where his body lies" This statement
is made by the Baltimore Sun, but relates an
incident that shows the great love and affec-
ton of the people OF Baltimore for the dead
poet Rarely since Sidney Ianier himself lived
lin Baltimore says the SUM- has that poet
and musician and scholar been brought closer
to the heart of this city than last night at Nc
Coy Hall.
"Lanier's biographer. DR. Edwin Minis. Of
Vanderbilt university. interpreted in lecture
Laniers life and poetry and devotion to music.
He placed by DR.. Minis in the forefront OF
American poets and with the great poets of the
world.
"Ianier's friend and comrade, Frederick II.
IGottlieb. played Lanier's favorite melodies on
his most beloved instrument. the flute, with
which he first gained friends before he was
known poet Ianlers songs were sung by
William G. Horn, and in the audience. the
largest which has yet attended the joint lee
lures and recitals of the Johns Hopkins and
the Peabody summer schools, were many per-
sons who knew and loved Lanier as man.
This celebration and commemoration of La
'nier in life and poetry and music, with new
revelation of his worth to America and to Bal
timore will be used a beginning OF cam
paign for the erection OF a monument or the
establishment of a memorial TO him.
1t is gratifying to know that this is but the
beginning of a great movement that Is to be
Iinaugurated to raise funds to erect monu-
ment to the poet and scholar. 1t Is difficult
to understand how the South's sweetest poets

WEST yIRGINTA'S TRIUMPH.

West Virginia politics and political methods
do not command, nor deserve. always the APP
plause of the judicious and conscientious In
fact. conditions there have been about as bad as
anywhere in the country. The State has been
suffering from a rush Of money to the head,
With communities. as with individuals, sudden
wealth Is likely 10 cause moral and general In
sanity. IT has been understood. in the gossip
among the sister States, conducted through the
scandal Washington. that West Virginia a
rotten borough. owned and controlled by a few
rich men, that 1t was cash ridden and that nobody
there could hope for advancement unless able to
put up" or have 1t done for him. The baefu
influence of wealth used in public affairs has
been evident In social as in general life and
conduct, expressed In various occurrences from
ugly domestic complications of lofty citizens to
unchecked feuds and murder among the lowly
and attempt at practical reputation of State
obligations
Yet there as elsewhere, the mass of the peo-
pie have been true to the old standards OF hon
esty, decency and propriety. Notwithstanding the
SUFFRAGE outCIopplHe5 vi NY, WI uplioii
and ostentatious defiance of public opinion This
beautiful fact Is proved by the stern and prompt
action of court and jury in the legislative bribery
cases. Seven rascals, some senators, some mem
bers of the lower house, have been indicted and
five convicted and sentenced for selling their
votes for United States senator. The trials of
two were postponed. The evidence shows that
the buying and selling of votes in the legisla
ture was regarded matter of course and
a matter of usual business. The representative
of the people regarded as honest and to be
honored and trusted was he who would stay
bought--stand hltched. The people decline to
accept this view Of official functions and duties
Five iurles of average West Virginia citizens
made manifest their opinions and feelings with
speedy verdicts of guilty" Three delegates were
sentenced to six years each In the penitentiary
and one for FIVE years, and State senator was
sent for five years and six months. All are
disqualified for thu remainder of their lives
from voting or holding office. Appeals were
taken, of course but whatever the Supreme
court may decide on the points of law and the
conduct of the trial. the verdict and purpose
OF the people stands OF record, to the honor and
vindication of the people They stand to show
that the people Of West Virginia are for integrity
and cleanliness and ready to rebuke and punish
treason and vilainy even when done by men
high in place and in political power. They give
assurance that In the body of the citizenship
the standards are not lowered and the depray,
ing potency Of the dollar has not reached.
II is a notable fact that one OF the six years
men named for General Ulysses Grant, was long
prosecuting attorney OF a mountain county In
the famous Hatfield Mccoy feud section, and is
likely to go to prison under the administration OF
a Hatfield as governor of the State

Marching Parcel Post.

1t is emphatically denied on behalf of the
railroads that they are opposing the parcel post
improvements proposed by the postmaster gem
eral, includipIenaterial reductions In the rates
charged within the first and second zones and
the raising of the weight limit to twenty pounds.
1t appears also that the embattled senators
who challenged the departments right to make
radical improvements, and who threat
tened to repeal the provision which Mr..
Burleson relied for his authority, have come
down" with more speed than grace and will
refrain from interfering with the peopleiza-
ton of the parcel post. Their attitude most
extraordinary, and some embarrassing questions
were being put to them Perhaps one
whispered direct election and the revolt sub
sided.
In paper which no senator will call radi-
cal, the New York Sun the following words
were used apropos OF this question: Had the
decision tof the senators) been otherwise, the
setback for Mr.. Burlesons plans would have
been only temporary. If there exists a man
in this country who believes that the parcel
post ~ not to expand he must be particularly
Igifted<fn stupidity, for the service Is one that
will never be curtailed or given up.-Chicago
