subject were worked out very diligently by the
Hon. A. Caperton Braxton, regarded generally
as a statesman of some ability and foresight
Because a small, compact, densely populated,
enormously wealthy and VIGOROUSLY corrupt
State needs certain statutory provisions is no
reason why Virginia should swallow them down
with unconsidered avidity We have not here
capital so great that We need to restrain or
repe it, Our need is to invite and encourage
it TO be used honestly to provide development
for our natural resources, employment for our
working people and to keep our young strong
men at home with us.
Our State is not perfect. 1t never will be
this side the millennium. The business of all
Of US is to labor earnestly to get it as nearly
perfect as We can. Yet criticism i'll considered
and from tongues and pens not guided by
thought and carefully taken knowledge do more
harm than good. Rushing into change for the
sake Of change, acceptance Of innovation be-
cause somebody else has adopted it or because
somewhere and by somebody it Is labelled PRO
gressive," is weak foolshness.
This is a fairly 1evelheaded State, controlled
by leveheaded. courageous and patriotic peo-
pie, accustomed to advance about as fast as
anybody and to be well UP at the front of af-

Mr.. Tucker and Mr.. Byrd and their fellow
4reformers are welcome into the ranks of earnest
citizenship striving for better things. But we
cannot accept either their pessimism or all
their schemes Of Immediate reform and legis-
lative action. Really. there ia nothing the
matter with Virginia except that her people
have seen fit to use their own judgment In select

policies; and that is not a serious fault after

THE TYPE or a VANISHED PAST.

]. Pierpont Morgan, powerful agent Of progress
and industrial development, according to his
friends and admirers, buocaneer of the bust
ness world in the view of his enemies, Napoleon
Of finance and industry by common acceptance
lies dead in a foreign country.
And the world moves on.
In financial centers there is naturally some
excitement. Inevitably, activity characterzes
the spectators of the stock markets and legiti
mate business pauses in some uncertainty, but
the ordinary man feels little concern in the
event. save that which attaches to the sudden
taking off of any world figure and that dictated
by interest in the death of a man of whom he
has heard so much and who has been SO closely
identified with the industrial development of a
great nation. Even in Wall Street and in the
stock exchange of Chicago, there is no panic,
but only wait for development, intense in
terest and cautious dealing. The death of such
man as Pierpont Morgan ten years ago would
have precipitated serious panic, The financial
centers would have been filled with distraught
men. Stock dealing would have beea chaotic and
the dealers reckless and despairing or feverishly
active to gain or to prevent loss. We have learned
much in a decade, however. and of those
things is that no one man is essential TO the
world or to any part of the necessary functions
Of life Some one else may not accomplish the
things J. Pierpont Morgan has accomplished
in fact, such things probably can never be ac-
complished again-but some one will carry on
Morgans business and some one or several per-
sons will do that part of his work that is essen
tial Little else matters, and hence Wall Street
knows no such conditions as would have followed
Morgans death not so many years ago
Morgan was great man. Whatever we may
think of some of his actions and of some of
the results flowing therefrom, the man who could
perform the wonders he performed must be ac
cepted universally as an intellectual giant, as
possessed of great constructive mind as a man
filed with the genius of generalship leadership
and organization He caused suffering He
brought loss to many. He earned the hatred
of hundreds, the suspicion of thousands and the
fear of many more and millions came to re-
gard him as a menace to his country, rather
than as boon. Nevertheless, he made the for
tunes of other hundreds, he builded for the good
of other thousands and he accomplished much
for the betterment of the nations.
That the good he did will not weigh in the
scales against the evil is possible. nut when we
consider that he was the product of his times,
that much of what is now regarded as wrong
was then regarded as legitimate, that 1t is the
sentiment of the nation that has changed and
not j. p. Morgan. We judge his great quail
ties without prejudice and we can render the
tribute due to genius. without dwelling too much
upon the faults accompanying it

A Bo7uet For Cairo

The prngresslYenesS OF CAIRO NOR
chants is commented upon In III
editorial published in a recent j~-'.-
of the Paducah News-Democrat I'll,
editorial follows:
The Cairo merchants are tc
give a fall day fashion show on
the 1927 inst. Great prepara-
tions are being made for a big
crowd and for the fine business
other big days than the first one
to the end that the people will
ness men have to sell Arrange
ments have been made for free
transportation into the city
over the interurban from
Mounds to Mound City, III,
and on the ferry from Wicklife,
KY, and from Birds Point, Mo.
on the first day. On other days
fares will be refunded in pro-
portion to what the buyers pur-
chase by all the merchants, and
come to see what the Cairo bust
are expected during the week.
The enterprise of the Cairo mer-
chants is praiseworthy and they
are to be commended. The way
to get business these days any
where is to go after it hard
The idea is not copywrited and we
sincerely trust that Paducah will
take it up. Cairo and Paducah will
find 1t mutually advantageous tc
convince the buyers in their respec.
tive trade territories that it Is not
necessary to travel hundreds of miles
TO the larger cities TO make salts
factory purchases There are hun
dreds of BUYERS in the territory adj
jaecnt to padueah and Cairo who do
LUX of the buying in the larger
cities because they feel that they
can obtain more for their money
When they are trained to the
idea of buying at home both
Cairo and Paducah will gain pro-
minence as commercial centers and
then competition VIII be easier be-
cause it will be confined to Cairo
and Paducah instead of the large
cities nearby
The holding in Cairo this week of
a Fall Fashion Show will be mer-
ely an experiment, but we have no
reason to believe that the test will
not prove successful If it does Cairo
will have Fashion Shows twice each
year, The main idea of the show
is to promote the buy-at-home, spir-
it. This spirit has been lacking to
the disadvantage of Cairo and the
steps now being taken by the mer-
chants will tend to improve condi-
tions.
Let Style Week be only the begin
ming of series of events to attract
visitors to Cairo. 1t would be to
the advantage of Cairo to copy the
recent methods adopted by Paducah
in bringing thousands of visitors to
the city.
