GIVES HIS REASON

IT HE Virginia Republican candidate for governor,
l Mr. Henry w. Anderson, believes that the
backwardness of the south progress along education
al and industrial lines. lies mostly with its oneslded
political policy. Mr. Anderson is endeavOring to I'M
press the voters of Virginia with his theory, and is
conducting his campaign along these lines, by strenuous
effort to awaken the people to the situation.
In Mr. Anderson public address he calls the atten-
ton of Virginia to the fact that For thirty years
the state and local governments Of Virginia have been
controlled by TIE Democratic party. his has been
the period of the greatest social and economical acv
ity in the history Of mankind. and Of unparalleled de
vcopment in the United States What do we see III
Virginia? The test Of the freedom and political life
Of people in republic is found in the extent to which
its citizens value and exercise their citizenship.
In 1853, with population Of 100000, Virginia
cast over 100000 votes in the presidential election
In 1920 with women voting and possible qualified
vote Of 100000 (fOr govemor) its total vote was
only 1000. In the year. North Carolina,
with substantially the population, cast 536,OOu
votes
The economic conditions tell the same story. With
natural wealth and resources far in of those of
its neghbolng states. Virginia lags behind them in
the march Of economic progress In 1929 North
Carolina alone paid to the Federal Government in
taxes more than twice what paid by Virginia,
true measure of industrial prosperity The nOrth east
en part of this state presats the largest open terri
tory east OF the Mississippi River without any railroad
In public schools, Virginia stands forty-third in
the list Of forty-cight states In highways it stands
about the bottom In very branch of intellectual and
industrial life it is far down the list
After this dressing down, Mr.. Anderson points out
The advantages of political change in administration,
and gives the Republican party few pointers about
winning votes in Virginia by some Inflammation in
their attitude toward the negro problem in the south.
Mr.. Anderson is making good campaign on the side
which expects to lose but he is approaching the voters
from new angle and is making many friends for
the party who would refuse to listen to the set argu-
ments usually advanced

The first trainload OF food from the American
Relief Administration has gone into Russia. When
Russian Relief was first discussed many people
thought it meant Immediately another popular APP
peal for funds 1t would have been decidedly I'M
popular appeal had it been instituted and Mr. Her
bert Hoover knew this without anybody telling him
about it. The American people are ready to assist
Russia just as soon the soviet government has
starved out and not very soon before that time.
This may not be kindly feeling, but 1t really is
the popular attitude. After survey of the Rus
sian field and the exact needs ascertained it
may then be presented to the Americans and all
possible aid be secured by appeal. Sentiment may
change BY then. 1t will 90 hard with the Russians
If it does not that is true but the idea Of doing any,
thing to relieve conditions brought about by lot
of unprincpled misguided scoundres, with those
same scoundrels still in power and profiting by our
charity makes 1t pretty hard proposition 10
swallow.

COMNIERCIALIzED ATHLETICS

At recent meeting of church work
ers in this state resolutions were in
troduccd and passed condemning the
practice of dancing in the colleges of
that denomination on the ground, as
we recall, that the dance promotes
immortality. We do not take is
sue with these devout people on this
subject just here, but we would sug-
gest that they might have gone a lit
tie further and started an investiga-
tion Of athletic conditions among the
colleges Of this and other states and
