BRIDE METHODS
BY United Press.

Ell PASO, Oct. 26.-It is rumored
that Carranza has tried to bride Villa
10 stop the revolution. They offer Vii
la a quarter of a million TO leave
Mexico with the privilege of later re-
turning III safety. The minor leaders
were also offered bride money TO try
their influence upon Villa to get him
TO leave and give up the struggle. 1t
is not known what result these brides
have had but those who know the
sturdy villa claim that he will doubt
less have the bearers of the bribery
offer put to death, as he has done on
former occasions.

While we may differ from Mr.. Bryan
"a the issue of the proper represen-
t1tsons to be made TO Germany. we
msst respect his decision In resign
ing when he AnGs himself confronted
with an issue on which he does not
agree with the administration and
which he regards as vital
Bet while the German note was

i question OF prlnciple--the principle

greatest importance which did not

not agree that he and the secretary
were far enough apart TO cause the

and took every course open to him to
accomplish what he saw was right.
While 1t is probable that the note
he prepared will never be seen. the
correspondence between snim and the
President declares positively that there
has never been any previous issue on
which they have been divided.
Bat there is greater significance
in the situation than the resignation
OF the Secretary of State. What is
there in the Wilson note which caused
him to resign7 He speaks in his let
ter to the President of the cause that
IL nearest his heart, the prevention of
war" 1t would seem therefore, that
in the view of the secretary the note
soon to be dispatched is SO liable to
cause war that he cannot agree to IL
without fear of endangering the cause
OF "the prevention Of war"
For this reason the people of the
country will await with greater inter
est than before the newest document.
Fraught, as 1t seems to be, with the
grayest meaning. there is reason for
the whole country to give earnest
thought to the question of an early
armed conflict with Germany. Ger
tainly when the phrasing of the note
is Of sufficient Importance to cause
the resignation of the first member
of the cabinet, Germany cannot fail
to understand the seriousness with
which this country views the present
relations between US. II by resigning
Mr.. Bryan brings Germany to her
senses, he may accomplish his purpose
Of maintaining peace after all.

The yirginian regrets that tine Com
mon Council should have placed Itself
I III d position so untenable as that
which results from it's recent ten
NJ the type least likely to commend
the Council TO public respect. The
Anal incident in the chain is the ordi-
nance passed Monday night which
xcrbids the building of hospital
within three hundred feet of a church,
school, or a hotel.
Since when have hospitals become
naenaces such as must be prohibited
BY ordinance of Council? How many
hospitals now in the city would have
70 be torn down 10 conform to the
terms OF Hae ordinance IL It could

snch as this is whether the ordinance

or to perform personal favors? VIII
more people be benefited by the build
tnk OF the hospital than will be in

threatened with any serious physical.
mentai, or moral disturbance as the
result OF building IL? VIII not many
hundred. even thousands. OF people.

Akher hospitals in our city? Should

The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1915-06-09

why should the hospital which DR.
Tucker proposes to build on Franklin
street be made the object of special
ordinance?
We very seriously doubt the legal
right of the Council to take such &C
ton as that embodied in tine hospital
ordinance. 1t would certainly place
Richmond in very undesirable light
TO drive away such institutions or to
have the courts declare that the rep
resentative body of the city has in
vaded the realm OF private rights by
special laws and ordinances.
This case is not the only one in
point. A special ordinance has been
passed to prevent the building OF an
apartment house on the land of a
private individual. although the pres
ent building laws OF the city may be
fully complied with, A special ordi-
nance was passed TO prevent the use
of a church by coloTed people: other
instances in the recent past might, be
cited TO show a very undesirable ten
dency to make special cases the sub
ject OF special laws. This sort of gov
eminent by a monarch whose laws are
sort-even more dangerous than gov
eminent by a monarch whose laws are
all special. for in this instance the
stamp OF representative body, the
name of n whole people, is affixed to n
law which may be exceedingly unjust.
The Council. we feel, has made a
mistake OF considerable proportions
in these ordinances, We look to the
Board OF Aldermen. and, falling that
to the Mayor. to see that the name of
the city is not misused in class legis-

ANCIENT SEAT OF
LEARNING CLOSES YEAR
Hampden- Sidney College Hears Union
Theological Professors In
Finals.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
Hampden-Sidney, June THE ex-
ercises of the l3ath commencement
of Hampden-S Sidney College opened
on Sunday morning. June 6. with the
haccalaureate sermon. followed at
night by the sermon before the Y.
NJ c. A.
The college was fortunate in secur-
ing as preachers on these occasions,
two of its own alumni--hoth distin-
guished professors in the Union Theo-
logical Seminary. of Richmond, Vir-
ginia.
The baccalaureate preacher, Rev
Thomas Cary johnson. ID. D.. of the
class of 1882. took as his text: Bring
forth, therefore. fruits meet for re-
pentance." tMath. 3:S), and empha-
sized as some of the appropriate
fruits, confession. PREPARATION and
amendment of life--urging the young
graduates TO do the work of life which
would best glorify God and serve their
fellowmen.
The text of Rev e. c. Caldwell D.
D., of the class of 1898. was. And a
man shall be as a hiding place from
the wind and a covert from the tenn
pest" Usaiah, 32:2). He pointed out
that the hope of the world is Christ
like men, who have incorruptible in
tegrity. faith. strength, world vision.
willingness to sacrifice self to the
good of their fellowmen.
The audiences were good. the effect
produced was profound and the gen.
eral verdict was that we rarely hear
in one day. two sermons so logical and
at the same time so simple and so
likely to product far-reaching and per-
manent good in the lives of those to
whom they were addressed.
The college feels justly proud of
these gifted sons.
