 Weakness in the wheat market was
 most apparent, during the. last thirty minutes of trading, but a downward

 gradually becoming larger. Moreover, harvesting in the northern portion Of the l spring crcp belt -yxasr said; to be mak-

a Reply From Mr.. Willis

Q ENATOR GOOLRICK'S sharp arraign-
~ ment OF the House of Delegates has
drawn reply from Delegate Holman Will
lis. who seems to feel that the indictment
was largely aimed at his own part in the
handling Of the road bond bill. 1t must be
questioned whether Senator Goolrick in
tended the narrow application which the
gentleman from Roanoke .suspec,s Ger
tainly, the impression has been rather pre-
Valent that the blunt speech OF the aroused
Senator was inspired by humiliation over
the general course Of affairs in the House
throughout the session. The good faith OF
Mr. Willis, as patron and warm advocate OF
bond legislation, has been accepted as above
question.
1t must occur to many Nirginians, however
on reading the reply Of the Roanoke Dele
gate, that he has been oYergenerous in his
treatment of his colleagues who blocked the
bond issue in the House His readiness to
refrain from abuse is worthy OF common
dalton, but the interests Of diplomacy do
not demand the complete absolution that he
offers in behalf OF the House group that
killed the bond issue, as Mr. Willis lets us
believe. against It's own convictions
Every progressive Nirgnian must be en-
couraged by Mr.. Willis assurance that the
obstructionists have gone back home to ''un-
der'ake to get releases" from pledges given
to their people. Nevertheless, certain ques-
tons will arise II would be interesting TO
know why so many of these Delegates who
really wanted bonds and were deferred only
by promises TO refrain from supporting an
issue. participated in remarkable play at
the very beginning of the session to tic the
hands OF the General Assembly and forestall
decent hearing. That looked very much
like aggressive opposition; very little like
regretful acQuiescence. 1t will be interest
ing also to know how the releases are to he
obtained. and il 1t would not have been pos
sble to obtain them during the period OF
the legislative session. The pledge bound
Delegates surely have not returned to their
homes with plans for ordering n formal ref
erendum among their respective constit-
uents.
1t is the belief of observant Virginians
that these Delegates are going to obtain the
desired releases promptly and deinitcly--in
most cases probably without asking; and
that the duty which was neglected during
the regular session will be discharged at n
special session. But it must be felt also
that right conception of legislative re-
sponsibility, genuine responsiveness to
popular need and demand would have In
spired the Delegates to Il more active inter
est III the convictions attributed to them by
Mr.. Willis.
