This Happened in Virginia

Virginia was known in other days as the mother Of
presidents. Virginia Is the home state OF Carter
Glass and Bishop James Cannon. Virginia gave to
the world the Byrd brothers-the first king of aces
Of the air and most noted Of all explorers; the second
a great governor Of Virginia for three terms and the
third the king of apple growers of the Old Dominion.
This is q story from Richmond as told by a CORES
pondent Of the Associated Press:
James p. Jones. recognized moral leader In the
tate legislature. former treasurer of the Virginia
Anti-Saloon league and prominent church worker,
faces a hearing In court here Oct. 4 on charges Of a
larceny Of SGT .97e40 from an orphans home. Jones
offered a settlement in May last and it was accept
ed and put in legal form but the commemorative
attorney ordered that a report be made to him and
an indictment followed"
James P. Jones had been in the Virginia house of
delegates since 1922 where he was recognized as the
spokesman Of the moral forces. being a member of
the moral and social welfare committee.
Now a carping critic will ask the question. why
do good men 60 wrong?' A silly question at best.
men have been going wrong since man made his first
appearance in the sylvan shades. Think Of what
happened to Adam In the garden after he had lost
one OF his ribs. The man who has never been tempted
doesn't know whether he is a crook or a saint. Let
the curtain fall.

The Once Over
INA DODO On THE YACHT RACES
1880, by The Associated Newspapers)

Dear Editor:
Well, ! have been following the international yacht
races and you viii have to pardon my yawning. The
whole idea is lost on me. anyhow, and ! think It
would be just as much in keeping with the times to
stage a race between a couple Of surface cars, tally
no or ~high-wheeled bicycles.
II was a big mistake to throw out those other boats,
the weetamoe, Yankee and Whatziss, and limiting
it to a two-boat contest, especially when you consid-
or that 1t would take at least a dozen boats to mako
it even fairly exciting. They should have pooled all
the boats, including the Shamrock, and then chosen
sides. This Is the only way Sir Thomas Upton could
get a break, as it has been proven many times that
he can't accomplish anything with one vessel.
II the committee had let Upton have the Sham
roik, the Yankee and the whirlwind and let America
be represented by the Enterprise and the Weetamoe
1t would have been a better spectacle, although 1t now
looks as If awarding the Shamrock to Liptons side
would have been a dirty trick. II we were rs sporty
as We claim to be we would let Upton have the Sham
rock one day and we would take II the next. The
only point is that once we had taken it off his hands.
sir Thomas might be too foxy to let us give 1t back
to him again.
I saw the first two races myself and if you have
insomnia they are the thing for you. II you can
stay awake during an international yacht race you
are beyond cure. I can't tell you what a big disap-
pointment the first race was to me. What got me
was the complete lack of hurry on ~anybody's part.
It was the only race I ever saw in which no haste
was shown. The two boats drifted up TO the mark
so slowly that at first l thought they were trying 20
get out Of the engagement altogether.
The skipper Of each ship appeared to be giving q
lesson in dignity and poise and 1t looked to me as X
they were bored with the business before the race
had been on fifteen minutes. They didn't even ex-
change hard looks. If the ships had ever been close
enough 1 am sure one of the shippers would have in
vited the other over to lunch and a game Of pinochle-
We'll, things went on that way for five or six hours.
with no change In the position Of the boats, and
when it was all over 1t was a great relief TO every
body. A lot Of spectators couldn't make out whether
Il was a yacht race or a Senate filibuster.
/ am off international yacht racing and am going
TO fill the aching void in my life with chess lessons
and turtle derbies.
Yours truly.
Ina Dodo.

Call for a Southern
Coalition

Governor Franklin d. Roosevelt Of New York made
mis- political confession of faith. Gov Alfred G..
Ritchie Of Maryland. nominated for a fourth term,
declined TO permit the democrats Of hts common
wealth to endorse him for the presidential nominal
ton Arkansas democrats declared Senator Joseph
T. Robinson the favorite SON of the commonwealth
and splendid material for a presidential candidate.
Now Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa. a wild alarm
in the section where the sons OF wild jackasses" are
sweeping all before them, advises a political coalition
Of the West and South and to fight Wall Street"
Should the coalition take place Borah Of Idaho and
Robinson of Arkansas are expected 10 be the big
voices in the combination. Robinson is an I~ndepend-
ent except on election day. He has a record of always
voting the straight ticket on election day and raising
hades with republican legislative programs 364 of the
35 days OF the year.
Borah is going to take the stump. He is for the re-
election Of all the progressive senators. He is for the
debenture plan. He Is as gloomy as Dean Inge Of
London and he was brought TO Texas in 1928 to tell
the voters that the way to continue prosperity
through the years was to vote the republican ticket.
He is a prophet but is not infaIlible.
Calvin Coolidge is a prophet but his prophecies
in the not remote past blew up" like toy balloons in
the hands Of children. Col. Arthur Brisbane Is an
other. He made a million prophecies in eight years.
AL that he predicted failed to come to pass. Proph-
cts are very human. They whistle along when the
skies are clear; then they blunder along when alibi-
making time calls for showdown.
