DOCTOR WAITE
SINGS. HYMNS.

DR.. Arthur Warren Waite, the den
list, who was convicted Saturday in
New York for the murder of his
father-in-Iaw, John Peck, spent sever
al hours yesterday at church.
Waite had expressed desire to
attend divine services Saturday night
after his conviction, so at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning he was taken to
the chapel in the tombs to hear Rev.
Dr.. J. Callahan, Protestant Episcopal
chaplain, deliver a sermon. Later
Waite attended Christian Science
lecture in the Tombs. He sang all
the hymns which had been selected.
The devil was sick, the devil a saint
would be;
The devil was we'll, the devil a saint
was he;
is well-known couplet and is often
brought to mind in the case of GER
tain specimens of the genus homo
who never become pious save in their
extremity.
David Copperfield upon one oc-
casion paid a visit to an English
penitentiary. He was shown the In;
mates of different cells and the crime
of the occupants were detailed to
him. Upon reaching one the keeper
told David that the man confined
therein was q model prisoner, spend
ing all his time porting over a hymn
book, keeping his eyes fastened upon
certain stanZas for hours at time.
Copperfield gazed closely at the man
and saw he was an old Acquaintance
Uriah Heap-the most natural-born
rascal ever described by Dickens.
It is a common. thing to see men
called Upon to answer for grave
crimes carry Bibles to the dock with
them. It has been noticed in our own
city. There is a pointed paragraph
in the New Testament which must
send shiver down the backs of such:
"For whatsoever man soweth that
shall be also reap 1t would be much
better to digest this awful fact be-
fore getting into trouble.

WITHDRAWAL OF
COLONEL JAMES.

Colonel Rorer A. James, who was
a candidate against Congressman Car
ter Glass for a place on the Nation
al Democratic Committee, has with
drawn from the race leaving Mr..
Glass a clear field. Hence the hopes
of the Republicans and Bull Moosers
that the Roanoke Convention would
be the theatre of a bitter factionai
fight have passed away in the night
as an idle dream.
Every true democrat is ready to
bow to the will of the majority. lie
would not be simon-pure member OF
the party if he was not, nor would
he if he failed to do everything pos
sible in order to preserve perfect har-
mony in the organization. But Col
/, onel James has gone much further
7 He has forfeited something in order
that the waters may not be troubled
in the state convention. He had every
reason to believe he! would win; but
rather than cause or perpetuate any
schism in the democratic organization
he has stepped aside and will offer
no obstacle to the selection of Mr..
Glass.
Colonel James's course is rccelv-
ing the just plaudits of his fellow
democrats throughout the state, as he
took this step despite a firm convic-
ton that he was entitled, on every
ground of proved ability and long
party service to the position to which
he aspired, and the further convic-
ton that he would have won mad he
continued to be a candidate. 1t is
like the man that, sacrificed his own
legitimate ambition, he should do
what is best for Virginia Democracy.
For the contest was unhappy and
was anticipated with anxiety by all
good democrats. The eve of presl-
Dental election, with national issues
of the largest consequence awaiting
decision, is not the time for a SQUAD
BILE among Democrats which Colonel
James was not slow to realize.
In dispatches from Washington the
following statement is imputed to
Congressman Carter Glass: IT am in
no sense party to any such adjust
ment. If such an arrangement has
been made. it is one which should
never have suggested"
What course he shall follow Is for
Mr.. CLASSY own decision, but ne is
hardly likeA to win plandits at this
time by am attitude of stubborness
The rank and file of the party wants
peace, and earnest supporters OF MI
James approve even his withdrawal
in this interest If the olive branch
that has been offered is reiected the
flame should lie where it belongs.
There should be harmony at Roa:
noke and $insthe party ranks. The in
terests of Democracy demand of every
Democrat such reasonable concessions
as will make harmon possible. P:a
