JLE OF REASON WILL PREVAIL
In our preparation for national
iSg,fance, Champ Clark aptly says,
mat the Rule of Reason" should
prevail.
4 It would be contrary to reason
Fer this country to longer remain in
its present practically defenseelss
condition. 1t would also be contrary
reason to assume that this coun-
sry was going to be attacked by some
sfarH crazy nation, and acting upon
nat assumption proceed to place
,qe hundred millions of people upon
&; war footing.
Fear and a desire for conquest are
S2A e two principal causes of war, and
az is by far the greater of the
30. '.'i - ~
aS No country, big or little, could
lake itself, or anyone else, believe
hat It was in danger of being at
licked by the United States. And
that removes the larger probability,
or possibility of our being attack
ed by some other country. But this
16 q rich country, a very rich coun-
.tfy. the richest country in the world,
and when the present greatest of
all wars comes to an end several
European countries will have more
soldiers and war munitions than mon
ey. We have no right to tempt
such countries to attack us by re-
manning defenseless and we are not
xoing to remain defenseless.

roads or southeastern passenger as

change orders, which effect lower
fares than the published joint through

The railroads eontended that the
real purpose Of mileage books and
reduced rate tickets is to provide q
lower basis of fares within defined
and limited territories and they are
not intended for use in combinations
with tickets issued by other lines to
defeat reasonable joint fares. They

ceived by various members of the crew

erous bombs and shells continued the
attacke on Howe. The bombs were
dropped and timed accurately. the

the entire populace of the cities along

GREEK GIVES GOOD ACCOUNT
IN A SCRAP WITH THREE

WINCHESTER, VA. July 3.-On
warrants sworn out by John Kotsion-
los. a young Greek connected with
the Greek restaurant in this city. three
young men were arraigned before
Magistrate Krebs. They were Earl
Clowser Maynard Clowser and BEN
ton Snider From the testimony 1t
appeared that the Greek had elected
Clowser from the restaurant because
Ciowser insisted upon going into the
kitchen. Clowser and young Snider
met the Greek. and Clowser demand
ed an apology. A lively scrap en-
sued, in which Snider took part, and
Maynard Ciowser. who was driving
by, jumped from his team to help his
brother out. The fight was fast and
furious for a time, and Maynard
Clowser emerged from the melee with
the imprint Of the Greeks teeth ON
mis- arm. All the participants were
more or less battered and bruised.
Magistrate Krebs fined Earl Glow
ser $3.50, Maynard Ciowser SO and
Benton Snider $3.50. The young
men arranged to pay their fines. They
were represented by Attorney Joseph
b. Newiin, this being Mr.. Newlin's

PROHIBITION ANVIL.


We really did not mean to start
anything" when we facetiousiy point
ed out to the State Press Association
last week the example set by the Vir-
ginia Pharmaceutical Association and
the Virginia Bankers Association in
abolishing intoxicating liquors from
their annual gatherings. We hardly
dared hope that such a consumma-
ton was within the realm of POSSIBLE
ity, but the idea has been taken up
by the press in all parts OF the State
and there is a significant tone of ap-
probation in the comment. After all
such action on the part of the editors
would be entirely consistent, since a
large majority of the State press ad-
vocated the cause of Statewide pro-
hibition. To abolish liquors from the
annual gatherings would be TO make
manifest in a practical way the sin
cerity of their professions.--Saf re rss

SUCCESS TO THE EFFORT.

During college and the first years
out few college men can be induced
to believe that a graduate of another
college has received an education that
in any way compares with their own.
Another graduate is usually greatly
-pitied creature. in that he did
not have the privilege of sitting under
old Professor Snobs nor of watching
that inimitable Bill Bangs slam out
a homer, nor of taking part in the
social gaieties of little Rubetown:
but this feeling soon vanishes in a
wider spirit of fellowship with all who
have been to college, and this in turn
is succeeded by a warm and abiding
interest in all mankind.
Let us have a University Club in
Ridhmond.

and earnestly the task of developing
the negro to far higher plane of
civilization.
We feel that in this work the fun
damental fact to be realized by the
race is that only by friendliness to-
wards and cooperation with the white
race can a degree of success thai win
be satisfactory to either white or
black be attained. Certain hmita-
tons nave been placed by nature. and
will never be removed In the course
Of time. God did not intend that
they should be removed. But within
those limitations-and every race Is
limited in some degree more or less
a great future is before the colored
people whose ancestors were brought
to this country almost as soon rs the
white inhabitants. and who must, as
have others. grow with the country.
On this birthday of the American
nation Ii IL very fitting that the negro
race should be entering into an expo
sition to commemorate its own fifty
