one or the headlines IN last sundays

Deserted by Society People. and asks
what the result would be II the head
line should ev"r appear: "Richmoid Is
Deserted by Labor" Then. without
waiting for ar answer. IL proceeds TO
get rid Of considerable bile as follows:
Society IS off 10 the moumtains. ;iIe

labor Is increasing the value of every
square foot Of land In Richmond

This column invites all kinds Of
views and near views. and so will not
turn down the above screcd filed
though Il TO with socialistic nonsense
In tho FIRST place. society is not
spending at the resorts money that II

There is world OF thought to be

For the present. however consider lust
