Ashland. Va, June l2,--Ths COM
mencement exercises OF Randolph

The program of the last day Of this
unusual session OF the old iastitution
began at . o',lock NJ. by the address
of Edward Mack, y. D., of 'ouantico,
Va. before the class of graduates.
DIR. Mack's discourse extracted the
false elements from the PHILOSOPHERS
of idealisn, and materialism. and held
them up for the consideration OF the
vast audience as constituting the ex-
tremes OF faliacy in the Interpretation
Of mans mission in the world.
His Illustrations were force'ul IN es-
tablishing the errors inciden; to the
dogmas of the idealist, as well as the
practices OF the exponents of mate
RIA lisn,.
The speaker focused his dissertation
upon the plane Of human and divine
balance wherein patriotism, unselhsh
love and religion afford the base work
OF the truest philosophy of life. The
address of DR.. Mack was MASTERY and
was a benediction to every one present.

A representative of The Rich
moDd Xirgfnian called upon
Bishop James Cannon. Jr.. who
arrived i'm Richmond last night.
and asked for a statement from
him concerning the raid made by
army officials upon certain
houses in Richmond. where
violations of the law concerning
liquor-selling and vice had &C.
CURED. Bishop Cannon made the
following statement:
The city OF Richmond IL pub
licly disgraced today before the
people of the United States, es-
peciaiiy before the president and
the officials Of the United States
army. As the whole state OF Nir-
ginia is affected by the disgrace
of its capital, the whole state OF
Virginia In Inundated by the con-
ditions in Richmond.
The report of the vice COM
mission concerning conditions In
Richmond just a year or so ago
was a warning given by a num-
her of the very best citizens Of
Richmond. which the people of
the city should have needed, and
which should have resulted in an
upheaval In the city government
which would have brought In Of
fictals thoroughly sympathetic
with tho Enforcement Of the laws
OF the commonwealth against
intcrrpcrance and vice. But the
same administration, d
which had f7ourishcd the foul
conditions reported by the vice
commission, was continued In
power, and today the shame of
the city, which was localized to
some extent then. Is now pro-
claimed throughout tho country.
1T Is reported that General
PcrShing has said that more men
infected with ,cnercai diseases
have reached Europe from Camp
Lee than from any other en-
canpment I'm the United States,
and that more I'm n similar condi-
ton have left the port Of New
port News than from any other
American port.

reported As having given ont an
