An amusing incident took place
in one of the most splendid of the
eastern hotels. A southern gentle
man, formerly a member of the
cabinet, was patron of the house,
and, preferring not to eat at the
table d'hote, had his meals served
in his own room with all the ele-
gance for which the establishment is
noted. Being someyhat annoyed
with the airs of the servant who
waited on him he told him, one day
at dinner, to retire. The nego bow
ed and took his stand directly be-
hind the gentleman's chair. Sup
posing him gone, it was with some
Impotence that few minutes after
the gentleman saw him step forward
to remove the soup.

Appreciates the Fights.

The Richmond VirgInian had been
in deep water" for some time. but.
thanks to its friends. a sufficient
amount OF new money has been put
into the enterprise to give II a new
lease of life. We are glad of this be-
cause we always regret TO see any
public. or. for that matter. even a
private enterprise fall. But in this
case we are glad the paper has been
relieved because of It's moral In
fiuence and the good II is doing. The
Virginian has had several hard fights
with the forces of evil and It's in
fiuence has always been on the side
of right in all these great moral issues.
Its suspension would be decided loss
to the best interest of our State and
We hope Its thousands OF friends will
rally TO its support and thus place
II on such a firm foundation that
there will never again be cause for
uneasiness as to its future. The peo-
Pile of this State cannot afford to let
the paper go down for the want of
money TO insure its continuance

Our Friends Are His.

Editor Virginian:
sir,--I visited your city recently
AIighting from the Main Street Sta
ton and having several purchases TO
make, l endeavored to distribute my
patronage among those who adver-
tise In The Nirginian. Calling on
Jones Brothers x Co, I made selec-
ton of a handsome refrigerator.
next called upon Messrs. Sydnor &
Hundley and found the establishment
one OF the most attractive of its kind
to be %ound in any city, and tie en-
ployes most courteous and consider
ate, directing me with pleasure to
another party from whom they be-
lieved I could make my purchase.
My next call was upon Digs q
Readles the reliable seed merchants
of Richmond, from whom have been
buying for several years. and left
with them an order Almost directly
opposite Diggs e. Beadles Is located
the plant of the Tanner Paint and
ON Company. from whom the wagon
making firm OF G. II. Russell IL Son
have been buying paints. and after
an experience of years with the larg-
est paint manufacturers in the United
States, | find their goods as reliable
as any on the market.

The Virginian, and as l belong TO
the Virginian family. | was attract
ed to these places on that account.
Noting that the Murphy Hotel peo-
pie are among those who feel that
The Virginian should be, patronized,
Il also feel the Murphy should be my
stopping place In future.
This is written, Mr.. Editor. with

those who do not advertise in your
paper, but with the feeling that these
PEOPLE reasonably expect the 'Vir~

TT RESTS WITH GEORGIA.

Georgians are not TO be blamed that
they resent the meddiing of legisla-
lures of other States In the Frank
case. They are not to be blamed that
they denounce outside Influences for
attempting to sway the courts and
the Governor in matter that is by
law and custom left entirely to the
Georgia machinery of justice. They
may exaggerate somewhat when they
speak of efforts TO break down jury
trial in Georgia and to make "a joke

The virginian has noticed with
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1915-06-07

growing amazement the actions of
State legislatures OF various States of
the Union to interfere in the Frank
case. Finally. the Virginia does not
know whether Leo Frank Is innocent
or guilty. II had no staff representa-
tive at the trial, and it did not follow
the reported evidence closely enough
to formulate an opinion. The Virginian
has felt that 1t was none of its bust
ness. There are lower courts and
there are courts of appeal in Georgia
and there is a pardoning power in the
State. 1t seems that the matter rests
with them and that, people outside
Georgia should be content to have 1t
so. In other words. 1t is none OF their
business

As not surprising that the President

Editor Virginian
Sir,--Thursday, as you well know,
was observed as a holiday by all of
the business houses, banks, etc. It
has not slipped your attention. how
ever, I nope that our old friends.
the liquor interests, piled their trade
az usual.
It seems that there is not spark
of patriotism or respect in them. 1t
matters not whether the day be the
Fourth of July, our national holiday,
or any State holiday, they continue
their trade in quest of the dollar and
at the same time debauch our fell
low men.
To a lesser degree this accusation
may be brought against the confec-
tionery stores. While their product
is rot necessarily harmful, at the
same time they utilize every moment
to make money, rather than setting
an example to the youth Of the land
by closing and turning out in force
to see a parade such as we had yes
terday in honor of our noble Confei-
crate soldiers.
If not word of defense can be
said in favor of the above class. /
would certainly like TO see the same
in your paper at an early date.
Yours very truly,
FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

THREE CANDIDATES TO

candidate for delegate to the House

cation and the representations which
It Is said the German ambassador and
his agent are to make may serve to
dampen the ardor of the Germans and
make them realize that the world can
not always be set by the ears with i'm
punity 10 the nation that performs the
Job.
We do not believe Germany will
ever admit fun responsibility for the
Lusitania incident or that she will.
with perfect openness and frankness,
accede TO our demands. She may do
SO by indirection. but even of that we
are doubtful. The Gulflight incident
teaches that II is easier for camel
TO go through the eye of needle than
for Germany TO admit she Ii wrong
We must. therefore. take account
of the German temperament in our
dealings with her. She may see the
need and obligation of a back-down.
but the grace to make II may be lack
ing. II As. therefore, very wise that
both our people and the German peo-
pie may be given chance to prepare
so that If a German apology does
come we both may be able to recog-
nlze it as such.

RIcHMoND's MUSICAL SPIRIT.

Richmond people are lovers of
music that they are able 10 appre-
ciate. This fact has been abundantly
testified during recent years, but
especially In the past week. The two
reunion concerts were not only
literally, not to say Overwhelmingly,
patronized, but were unanimously ap-
plauded by representative Richmond
audiences. On both occasions the peo-
pie gave very hearty evidence of their
desire to hear good music and their
thanks to those who gratified that de-
sire. The Nirginiau feels sure that 1t
voices the sentiment of many thousand
people when It makes cordial ac-
acknowledgement of and thanks for the
entertainment of the city and it's wish
tors.
But there was necessary a great
deal Of preliminary work educate
the people TO a taste for good music.
In rais work too much cannot be said
