Preliminary work connected with

The anniversary dinner is a popu-
lar meeting, and to which all men

payment of the one dollar fee, which
is the actual cost OF the dinner.
While the training conference is not

structive. and through its training fea-
lures will largely increase the inter-
est of many ministers and laymen in

The training confer,/ce IS to be
just what the name imples-a con-
ference at which the very latest
known methods in missionary and
church finance will be discussed.
To this meeting men will not come

bell White. in order that they may go
back to their churches ready to do the
very thing he teaches them. How

When one stops to consider the
possibilities of the every member cam

will have, not only on each individual
church, but on each person that takes
part in il.
Every church in the city Is asked
to be represented by selected men at
this training conference. whether or
not church is planning to have the
canvass at the time so many are. The
training of the men from the church
will be helpful to them when they do
undertake 1t.

Virginia Progressive Demo-
cratic League Calls Meeting
For February II and 70 For
Purpose of Forming Perma-
nent Organization.

William Jennings Bryan, secretary
of state, and Senator Robert l.. Owen,
Of Oklahoma, during their visit to
Richmond near the close of the month
of February, are likely to exert
powerful influence upon the progress
sive element of the Democratic party
in Virginia. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Owen
will speak on the nights Of February
81 and 2Sth, respectively, before
the Virginia Progressive Democratic
league, which has been called. through
its president, John Garland Pollard,
to meet in Richmond
The coming of Mr.. Bryan will prove
also to be one OF the events Of the
present session of the generar assem-
bly,. Yesterday when the news of his
coming was received by the two
houses both branches of the legisla-
ture named committees to greet him.
The house committee, consisting OF
ten, is composed of Delegates VIII
liams. Smith, of King and Queen;
Oliver. Stubs. Spatig, Hobson, Wood
ward, Reed, Walton and Stephenson.
The senate committee of five, named
to act jointly with the committee from
the house, is made up of Messrs. Cam
non. Drewry. Early, Fletcher and
Saunders.
The call for the meeting OF the
Progressive league follows:
To the Democrats of Virginia.:
In pursuance of a resolution passed
at a conference recently held in Rich-
mond. this address is hereby issued
calling all Democrats who are inter-
ested in the advancement of progress
slve measures in Virginia to meet in
Richmond February 27th and 2sth, for
the purpose of forming a permanent
organization.
/ The general principles for which
those joining in this call stand may be
briefly summarized as follows:
We believe in the initiative and ref
erendum means OF mafntaing truly
representative government. If our rep
resentatives know that II they fail to
enact measures desired by the people.
the people themselves can enact such
measures, the representatives will be-
come more truly representative. and
it will rarely be necessary for the peo-
pie to resort to direct legislation. And
If our representatives know that meas
ures adopted by them may through
referendum be vetoed by the people,
measures will rarely be adopted detrt-
mental to the best interests of the peO-ss
Pile. In short, the initiative and refer
endum is, in the language of Woodrow
Wilson. THE gun behind tho door, to
be used in cases of emergency.
The constitution of Virginia not only
provides for the impeachment OF
judges. but also for their recall or re-
moval by. the same body which selectss
them. We believe that the same prin-a

BY HARRY TUCKER,

THE Blade" Etc, Etc.

1t was evident by the attendance at
the Academy of Music last night that
the people of this city who love the
Shakespearean drama are in a very
small minority. The higher element
is evidently dwindling, for not long
ago the Merchant of Venice" had a
larger attendance.
During Shakespeare's time people
had no moving picture shows. nor had
they a Charlie Blaney, nor George
Conan. Neither had they an Evelyn
Thaw, nor Gertrude Hoffman. Also
Nat Goodwin and a DeWolr Hopper.
III.
II must be said, however, that the
audience at the Academy OF Music last
night was of as high class of literary
attainment as might be found within
the bounds of Richmond. and the pro-
posed annexed territory.
There were some from the county OF
Hanover.
Members of the legislature, some
of whom thought there was to be a
musical comedy, put in an appear
ance.
When they saw on the program that
the Duke Of Norfolk Chimney Trehey)
was to appear; the Duke OF Bucking-
ham (Senator GAYLE: the Earl of Sur
rey (Senator Hobbs). the Duke of
Gloster (Saundersl; the Duke of York
Saxon HolO; the Earl of Richmond
tClyde Saunders). and a couple Of or
binary personages. and a whole lot or
nfurderers, they felt at home.
So they sat through the whole per-
Torrance of one of Shakespeare's best
pieces, in order to see what Jimmie
Trehy would look like with a sword in
his hand, and Clyde Saunders Offering
his kingdom for a horse.
He might have offered 1T for an au-
tomobile IL the play hadn't been writ
ten before that time.
1t was deplorable to see such a
small crowd The company is one Of
the best ever seen in Richmond. There
are no stars.
Every man and woman does the best
he or she can, and the result il fine.

Temperance Forces Look With

The throng Of visitors about
Murphy's hotel last night and the
quiet talks in little squads of inter
ested legislators with their wet" and
dry" constituents, the suppressed ex-
element apparent on every face, the
ominous predictions on every hand.
and the presence OF some of the big
politicians from a distancc--all point
to the fact that something startling Is
to happen today. when the legislature
reasseEa1les.
This passionate interest is excited
by the prospect of a report. or rather.
If Dame Rumor Is to be relied upon.
two reports-majority and minority
are to be submitted to each branch of
the general assembly by members of
the committee of conference on the
amendments of the senate TO the en-
rejected by the house.
All manner of speculation is being
INDUCED by the knowing ones" as to
the recommendations of the majority
and of the minority, but the wide
diversity of opinion only indicates that
the committee has faithfully kept Its
pact, to give out none VI its proceed
ings either to the public or to their
friends.
The vets" and "drys'' are equally
perpiexed and uniformed.
Every species OF ingenuity has been
resorted to to prize the secrets of this
committee but with bland smiles and
silent lips, these gentlemen have kept
their secrets. Some persons may
guess a part of the reports OF the
majority and a part of the reports OF
the minority accurately, bat 1t Will be
altogether guesswork. as there are no
tips
This will be day OF surprises and
of history.
The resourcefulness of the whiskey
lobby is in active play. Every move
on the board has been laid with con-
summate care with the end in view
First, and above everything else, that
the enabling act; that is. the real
enabling act may be defeated. Let no
one think that this bill is TO be de-
feated by direction. II by any indirec-
ton, its defeat may be accom- plished.
The whiskey libby will try their
utmost to pass something labeled en-
aiding act. or at least to get several
senators and delegates to vote Tor such
a labeled article, and herein IS their
astuteness:
BY persuading their friends TO vote
Cor this label they hope to preserve
for them a record with which they
may go home and face their people,
This lobby is cunning. They must
take care of their friends They must
defeat the enabling act They must
screen their fine Italian hand. :"
Watch the whiskey lobby. They are
desperate and daring
The temperance leaders view all of
this cunning and daring with COM
passion and wear an air of confidence
beneath rugged determination.
The conference committee is COM
posed of three members from the
senate: Holt, Echols and Mapp; and
three from the house: Williams. of
Giles Barley and Oliver. and this
committee will make history this day.
