face value of $3.50 late Tuesday af-
ternoon on Jenkins, Straus & Glau-
Der, Hart, E. H. Robinson, the Dia-
mond Hardware Co., The $40 Variety

The stranger began operating be-

thought, on finishing his work in time

His method of operating is illustrated
by the manner in which he proceed

Nir9inin Needs Wilson

L OR more than one excellent reason il is
To be hoped that President Wilson Will
accept The invitation that is TO he rendered
him TO address the General Assembly OF
Virginia. and that. accepting he will choose
to speak TO these representatives Of the
people on the need of national preparedness
The President needs Virginia and. grievc
to say. Virginia needs the President
Organizations within this State oil Mr..
Wilson'S birth lately have condemned his
preparedness policy, and the majority Of Vir-
ginias delegation i'll Congress has declared
against il. There is opposition in many sec
tions and among various elements of the
population that il would be absurd either TO
minimize or disregard This opposition must
he faced boldly. III it is to be overcome it
must b. through the force OF argu tents that
appeal to and convince the popular intelli-
gence.
The President is peculiarly fitted to meet
the emergency. He is home folks here
and Virginia trusts and honors him. lie is
like unto ourselves. seeing with NirgiHian
eyes and hearing with Nirgnian ears He
understands us and We him He knows what
prejudices he must encounter and what rea-
soning he must employ lie has the prestige
Of his great Office and the power that comes
of high and line Intelligence. Better than
any living man. he can tell Nirginans why
they should not consent TO see the country
remain helpless in the face Of impending
danger
II must be remembered that the President
himself IS convert 10 preparedness There
are those among the Roosevelts and Gardners
and Henry A. Wise Woods OF the country who
affect to see in this some occasion for re-
proach. because the President. at the out
set oi the European war, did not become as
crazy as some OF them. he is criticized rs
vacillating. weak or cowardly. In their view
there is something suspicious in the circum-
"a elm nt,ll ,t l,s
The truth is the reverse OF this Mr.
Wilson is no creature Of emotion. no victim
OF hysteria. but sane and balanced thinker
When he reaches conclusions, it is through
the application OF reason to evidence His
mind does not jump. but once convinced
moves relentlessly on its way
II there is an American who knows whether
this nation should prepare. that man is
Woodrow Wilson. The intimate detail of
our foreign policy is locked in his breast
lie understands exactly what dangers impend.
He Is not lingo or AN aarmist and so long
as honor permits he will keep his country
out Of war. But he knows-and he saws
Prepare"
Virginia should hear this message from his
own lips. for il is not meet that Virginia
should be a laggard when the call 10 duty is
sounded. Nobody has the slightest appre-
hcnsion that, should war be dcc!a red. the sons
Of Virginia would be found dcrelict but in
the existing situation something more is re
luired than mere individual valor We need
comprehension and foresight preparedness
OF the mind and spirit as Well as a prepared
ness that is physical. The President can
help.

Railways BECOMING Snfe

n nee upon time the English were given

railroad accidents: travel in Great Britain
was safe, while the American went forth to
take'a train wondering whether he would
reach his destination. That time has happily
passed. The years show Il constantly decreas-
Ing rate of accidents. Last year no pas
senger was killed on the vast Pennsylvania
system, and the total number OF passengers
killed on all lines 222 as against 265
for 1914
When il is considered that the average
number OF passengers fatally injured a de-
cade ago amounted TO about 500 the great
advance in safety is evident A total of 222
persons killed out OF l.0o0.00U,u 900 carried
shows how little danger the average person
runs in riding on a train these days
