Still earlier historical associations
with the estuary bring before the
minds eye three small ships, sailing
through the Roadstead to land forty
miles upstream on an island in the
river, on May IS, 1907. The English
emigrants who there disembarked had
come three thousand miles, Drawing
wind and wave in their frail boats, to
establish the very first permanent
Anglo-Saxon settlement on the Am
erican continent. On the island
(Which they called JAMESTOWN in

cessfully planted the germ of the Am
erican nation. And at the hands Of
the Rev. Robert Hunt, who had "pre-
ferred the service of God in so good
voyage to every thought of ease at
home," they received the Holy Com
munion, under an old sail stretched
to protect them from the weather,
kneeling at a rustic rail nailed be-
tween two trees, thus, also, planting
in the new world their ancient Eng

tant faith.
To speak of jamestown is to think
of Capt. John Smith. The thought
of Smith and his foolish expedition up
an affuent of the James called by
the Indians the Chicahominy, brings
to mind his capture and his tramp as
led-prisoner across country to the
presence of the Indian emperor, Pow

tragedy, if indeed he had a bloody
hand in it, lies buried in his grave at
his summer home on the James, not

The Town Friend.

\ SORRY newspaper is a little
worse than nothing-on par with the
small town drunk--an object of con-
temptuous pity.
An ordinary newspaper is a bust
ness without a legitimate excuse for
success-like a knocking, non-vot-
ing citizens, whose object in life is
to follow the zig-zag line of least
resistance.
A good newspaper is moro than a
business. 1t is the best friend a
town has in the world. The world
may turn against you but your news
paper will "stick." 1t may tell the
town of its faults, but it will do ev-
erythlng in its power to assist in
correcting them. 1t is the peace
maker of progress; the embodiment
of enthusiasm.
Much has been said about the
power of the press. Much more
might be said about the service of
the press, for whatever power it
may have is in its ability md incli-
nation to serve.
A selfish newspaper is a failure.
Bret Harte wrote once that . man
IN order to be a successful editor,

fact remains that unselfishness and

required in the makeup of the real
newspaper.-Palm Beach Post.

A Kinda View of Missionaries.

The missionary appears "a queer
man" to the native Hindu. At least
as the Hindu is represented by Prof

writes in The Vedic Magazine LA.
hore). He is queer" because of his
cheerful willingness to discuss and
"confute" anything in the Vedas, OF
which he may be quite ignorant This
fact has been pointed out before by
Christian missionaries more enlight-
ened than their courageous brethren
The Hindu writes Of such:
Gle is a man of faith, who has sur
rendered his reason, and whose I'M
bounded vanity always makes him see
things with prejudiced eyes. He has
lost the faculty of impartial judg.
ment. He never keeps his mind open
and is not an earnest inquirer of
truth. He is satisfied with what poor
fragments of philosophical patchwork
he has got, and to him that is the
whole truth. Thus equipped, he
dashes off a book with mistranslated
and distorted facts, and claims to
have proved that the Vedas are the
babblings of the primitive man. We
may well ask this grand man: Sir,
how did you know the meanings of
the Vedas? Have you studied the
Vedas in their entirety and read them
as one piece? Are you competent to
pass any opinion on these sacred
books? Have you read Nirukta and
Mahabhashya?' With a fimsy, su-
perfcial study of Sanskirt, and bias
ed, prejudiced mind, he has the pre-
sumption to speak authoritively on
the Vedas! UnacQuainted with the
traditions and ancient history of In
dia, ignorant Of the traditional modes
of teaching, with no sympathy and
impartially, but priding himself on
the possession of the art of critical
research, he misuSes the inductive
process and generalizes too widely
and emphatically on very sparse
facts, and cunningly puts his conclu-
sions before the world without any
sense of shame. Any one who care,
to read the works of Pundit Guru
Data or the brilliant articles in the
'A,rya' will see through the most un-
scientific attempts at the interpreta-
ton of the Vedas made by such per
sons. These remarks apply not only
to the missionary, but even to a LARGO
majority of Western scholars, The
Literary Digest.

Come the day, as come it must, in
which European tourists will be at
tracted to America through interest
in the historic spots of the new world
even more than by curiosity to see the
great natural wonders of the CONT
nent, the sightseers' beaten trail will
lead through old Virginia.
The concentration of nationally vi
tai events in the region Watered by
Virginia rivers is patent to all read
ers of American history. In the pop
ular mind, also, at home and abroad,
the Potomac River, the Rappahan-
mock, the Shenandoah, the Chicahomi-
ny, and the York, are lore-laden
streams, inseparably associated with
the building of the nation and its fore
most builders. The swelling hills
through which they wind and the his
toric valleys they drain have been &C.
cupied from the days of the "Old Do
minion' down to the present time by
a people who consciously bore the re-
sponsibility of being, per Sc, history
makers.
There were Spotswoods, Byrds, Ma
sons, Marshalls, Washingtons, Car
tiers, Careys, Cookies, Bollings, Ran
dolphs, Harrisons, Rutherfords, Lees,
innumerable F. F. VS. in fact, who
contributed to the glory of the colony,
the state, and the republic. Three
centuries of ideal marriages (for it
was the ancient custom of Virginians
to mate the best only with the best),
guaranteed a high standard of citizen
ship and helped to more nearly main
tain a purely American-born popu-
lation here than elsewhere in the
United States. Sacredly stored in
Virginia family record and family ira
dition, may be found every patriotic
act and every refining custom of no
bic ancestry, preserved for all time,
as the fragrance of long-gone gardens
is saved indefinitely in precious jars.
In this land of memories and
shrines the River of history" par
excellence, is the James. Leaving
out his upper portion, where were the
plantations of many notable families,
there is left material enough for
big book in the points of interest to
