The local merchants hit upon happy idea,
when last year they decided to have their season
openings all at the same time. Richmonds re-
tail stores are distinct credit to the city, and
they are improving every year. The display Of
spring goods this year will probably surpass that

SPEAKER COX.

While the views Of Hon Edwin P. Cox,
speaker Of the house of delegates differ from
those OF The Virginidn on many public questions.
feel it due the speaker to say that he has
been faithful to his promise and made fair
and impartial presiding officer This is the
general feeling and belief of members Of the
house and we heartily concur In their opinion.
When he was honored with the election
speaker Mr.. Cox assured the members of the
house that he would preside with justice TO all,
and that his rulings should be impartial. We
think he has kept the faith. The Richmond
member was outspoken in his opposition to the
enabling act and to number of other moral
measures which The Virointan earnestly advo
Gated the passage OF, but he treated the advocates
of these measures with even-handed justice,
Upon roll call his stentorian voice would plainly
declare his position. but when he to pass
upon questions submitted his sense OF right and
justice was the guide for his ruling. The same
spirit OF fairness was shown by the speaker in
the selection of his committees.
While we regret that the speaker felt inpelled
to oppose many measures which We advocated, We
commend him for giving to all square deal.

Mr. Bove had been one Of this citys leading
real estate agents since before the war He had
seen Richmond grow from small city to one of
the leading and most progressive business cen

factor in this growth. From his entrance into

For whom none well can say

In sooth, such is the liquor den.

tons, and is to be used in the con-
struction of his new stable. The
stone Is to be brought to Tarrytown
in a special boat and carted from
the docks to Pocantico Hills. Mr..
Rockefeller had applied to the board
Of trustees for permission to move
