OMER l.. FERGUSON and his associates
surely never did n better days work
for Peninsuar Virginia than when they Sc
cured the active interest OF Harry Ward
man, OF Washington, ID. c., in the rebuild
ing of the historic Chamberlin Hotel Mr.
Wardmnn's proposal seems almost unbe-
lievably generous. He asks the people Of
the Hampton Roads cities to subscribe to
100000 of the bonds, but he agrees him
self to take 100000 OF bonds, besides the
entire stock issue Of 100000. The lat
ter represents practically all the risk, since
the building and Its equipment will be held
as guarantee OF payment OF interest and
principal of the bonds
II is stated that interests and individuals
in Newport News and Hampton have al
ready subscribed their quota to tho bond
issue, and it only remains for the communi-
ties on the south OF the Roads to conduct &
brief campaign to place minority of the
issue in local hands. The progressive people
OF the Norfolk and Portsmouth commune
ties, ii is believed. will never allow such
IN opportunity to pass without taking adj
vantage of the chance TO add so greatly to
the popularity OF the entire section Of Vir-
ginia they SO largely represent
There seems now, therefore, n reasonable
certainty that new and more modern
Chamberlin will soon rise from the ashes
of the structure the whole nation loved and
nlourns.

Moving Pictures
At the IiiJuu.


In The Impossible Mrs. Rcllew."
Gloria Swanson achieves one Of the
biggest successes Of her career. and
certainly by far the best thing that
she has done this season. Miss swan
sons acting is so real IN this picture
that she seems to be living the story.
In addition. she is wonderfully good
looking. and wears. AS usual. some
stuhnins gowns. These attributes
would be almost enough TO make a
successful picture. ana Il 40 happens
that the story nssd. adapted from the
novel by David Llslc, Is most ap-
pcalIng one. and somewhat different.
the picture Is an excellent one from
every standpoint. Conrad Nagel, who
plays opposite Miss Swanson, is as
attractive az ever. and interprets the
ro!e OF the young author mos; con.
Hincingly. The remainder o. III.
cast. among whom Will be found

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Slit Is source of qualification

unable to agree with the President
IN his declared attitude on qucs-
lions of policy. national and Inter
national. TO be able to say that in
the main he heartily agrees with
what the President so well said In
his last official pronounccment.
As to his down. deep feeling OF
sincerity and earnest desire and pur-
pose. one may not question. But
one may not be accused OF factious
or captious implication, II he looks
somewhat under tho surface and
tries TO discover the underlying mo-
tive that inspired this last states
maniikc outgiviug.
Mr.. Harding Is radically n party
man. Interpreting the Significance
Of the results or the last elections,
he sees the ineXorahle need for a
change OF policy on the part OF his
party to maintain its asccndancy
The remarkable triumph Of Senator

leadership OF the radically progress
sivc spirit an!mating ana aciuating

ism.
This must be disslpated. Only by
this means may there he possible
retention of the reIns OF government
administration In the hands OF Mr.
Hardine's party.
In this inhcrcs tho political life
or death of Mr. Harding in any Of
iicial sense. In this inhcr.s the
verdict of history as TO the success
or failure Of Mr.. Harding as CHIEF
executive OF the United states in
time OF crisis. national and intcrna-
tionai
He is not n politician statesman

Tho LOGIC OF Irnct.

TO tho Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--lt has been said tina, there is
no logic so sound and SO unbcnding
as the logic Of fact. Many Sir-
ginians arc being driven into debt
and bankruptcy by heavy taxation.
Virginia is living beyond her means,
by trying TO Initiate far Weather
commemorative. Do no violate
that safo principle OF living within
ones means. The move tn bond tho
State heavily for great public and
very costly highways is surely a
violation Of that safe principle and
the unbending logic of fact Will be
