Voice of the People
Ice and the University.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-The following extract from a
letter OF General Lee. written at Lex
ington. Va. May 20. 1866. to a gem
tlcman ut Fort Riley. Kan. who had
inquired about the curriculum at
Washington College. with a view to
sending his son there, should be in
fort to remove the medical school of
the University OF Virginia TO Rich
mond.
General Lee. after stating that he
believed n student really desiring to
learn, would have ample opportunity
To do 80 at Washington College. add
ed:
There arc other colleges In Vir-
gInin where a student anxious for tho
acquisition Of knowledge can be &C.
commodatcd.
The University OF Virginia at
Charlottesville. Is tho largest insti-
tuition of learning IN the south. and
has enjoyed the highest reputation.
After the attainment OF a collegiate
education. such as may desire. can

and acquire the knowledge OF pro-
fession.
AT this place there is an excel
lent law school, OF which Judge
Brockenbrough is the principal; but
there is no school Of medicine"
II tho Richmond scheme prevails.
there will be no school OF medicine
Mt tho university.
II Is reasonably certain that Gem
eral Lee would not have pronounced
this eulogy upon II dismcfnbcrcd In
stitution. AS tho years roll by. his
wisdom and Judgment In educational
matters are more and moro apprc-
ciated. and this entirely voluntary

AGRICULTURAL BODY
WILL CONVENE TO-DAY
To Hold Five.Day Conference
in Washington to Discuss
Remedies for Farmers.
Ky John Gleissner,

oniteo NeWS stan Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-The Ma
tional Agricultural Conference, which
conTenes hero tomorrow for fve days,
VIII seek ways TO remedy situation
which forces tho farming industry
to bear more than It's share OF the
burden OF price readjustment.
The farmer's problem. In nut
she'll. Is this--prices he receives are
back nearly to prcwar levels and
are below production costs, while
prices he pays for everything he needs
remain inflated.
The causes which brought about tho
situation are orerproduction. restrict
ed credit. high freight rates. lack OF
foreign demand. tho general deprcs-
sion. The depression and the bur-
dens OF the economic change were
passed on back until they reached tho
soil, and they could not be shifted
any further, 80 the farmers are hard
est hit.
The conviction gradually has grown
In all quarters that until the farm
|! ing industry is on its feet. there can
he no general business and industrial
revival. This Is because 40 per cont
OF tho population arc directly depend
ant on the soil. and when their pur-
chasing power disappears, the effects
are felt In every quarter. The con-
ference therefore is held to be as
vital to the manufacturer and the
business man rs to the farmer.

w. j. Ii. for tho Senate

n FTER making numerous flights over
a the country seeking a spot where he
might plant his feet on solid foundation
OF citizenship with reasonable assurance
that his never-dying political ambitions
would not be submerged by the waters Of
adverse public opinion, William Jennings
Bryan finally located IN encouraging situs

the weakest, spot in the armor with which
the national Democracy was wont to clothe

sured victory. There he thinks the leaven
Of the doctrines lie has been preaching ever
since he conceived the ambition OF entering
the White House has worked effectively,
and that there he will find his ono chance
of approach to the White House through
the open door OF the Senate.
Prior to perfecting citizenship in Florida
he went down into the Rio Grande district
of Texas and purchased plot of land, upon
which he erected modest home, and in
due course OF time he let the impression
go out that he meant to acquire citizenship
in the Lone Star State "for better or
worse" But, unfortunately for his plans
to this effect Mr.. Bryan about that time
was emphasizing the doctrine Of free raw
materials for the South and West and a
tariff on the manufactured products OF the
East, His announcement that he proposed
to conduct an educational campaign to set
the Texas folks right" on the tariff ques-
ton didn't take little bit with the Texans
Under the sound Democratic teachings OF
Joe Bailey and tho ablo statesman who
had preceded him in the counsels OF the
party, the Texans considered their attitude
OH the tariff impregnable to assault. So
Mr. Bryan disposed Of his plot of ground in
the Rio Grande Valley and looked else
where for political encouragement.
In the success Of such a "small-fry". poll

couraged to believe that the Democrats OF
Florida will reckon him far bigger man
and will fall over one another In hurrying

out by his closest friends that he will make
