A FRIEND IN NEED.
At last Newport News has round a
friend and a valuable ally in the mat?
ter of advertising in connect Ion with
tho Jamestown Exposition. With the
publicity department of the Exposi?
tion continually and persistently do?
ing all In Its power to advertise Nor?
folk to the exclusion of all the rest of
Tidewater, and various private enter?
prises of the city across the Bonds,
naturally enough, following the Brune
course, Newport News and the other
communities oh the Peninsula have
been sadly In need of support in their
efforts to let the world know that we
uro on the map.
The Chesapeake. & Ohio Railroad is
our friend in time of need. With Its
eastern temiltmls located here, the
Chesapeake ,fc Ohio Is about as much
Interested In Newport News and vi?
cinity as the peoplo of the Peninsula
themselves. 11 was to he expected,
therefore, that tho company would
give us what the Exposition company
promised, but has never given?n fair
deal.
For mouths the Cliesnpeako & Ohio
has been making preparations for
handling groat crowds during tho ex?
position period, its plans probably
have been more extensive than those
of nil tho other transportation compa?
nies combined, nnd If President Stev?
ens' hopes are fulfilled , a large por?
tion of all the people who come from
the west to visit tho Tercentennial
will make the trip directly to New?
port News over the Chesapeake &.
Ohio.
in sending out its lithographs and
literature, the railway company bus
been duly considerate of Newport
News and the Peninsula generally. We
nie given Just a little better than a
fair deal, but when the treatment
accorded this side of the Bonds by the
Exposition Company nnd Norfolk is
taken into consideration, no one has a
right to prolest.
On the lithograph maps sent out by
tho Chesapeake & Ohio passenger de?
partment, Newport News, Old Point,
Hampton and Phoebus are shown di?
rectly across the Hoads from the Ex?
position grounds. Norfolk and Ports?
mouth are shown In their respective
places on Elizabeth river, and it must
be admitted that, these cities look a
bit distant from the fair grounds, nnd
their names are not given in particu?
larly large letters. Jamestown Island
Is shown up the river from Newport
News and the route of the Chesa?
peake & Ohio to Cincinnati and I^uls
vlllo is given. The tipper portion of
tho map is "condensed" so as to bring
in Washington, Baltimore, Philadel?
phia and New York, nnd show the
connections with the Chesapeake &
Ohio rrom each of these cities.
Above a series of pictures, including
historic scenes nnd personages and
tho seal of the Jamestown Exposition
Company, aro tho following lines:
"Virginia! the cradle of our land,
"Wo bare out head as on thy soil we
stand.
"A line of Presidents has sprung from
thee,
"Great statesmen, judges nnd?im?
mortal Lee.
"Three centuries of valor and renown.
"Demand tho nation's homage at
Jamestown!"
The enterprise of the Chesapeake
& Ohio und ?b natural partiality, alli?
ed by our own efforts, guarantee that
the |>entnsula will get Its share of the
benefits from the Exposition. This
Hikes much rrotn tlio bitterness of
our protests against the treatment
accorded us by the Exposition com?
pany. We had ationt come to the
conclusion, anyhow, that It would he
?well to stop protesting. Our "kicks"
have done absolutely no good and. If
there lias been any change In tho pol?
icy of the Exposition press bureau,
Norfolk Is getting the benefit of It.
PROTEST WORSE THAN USELESS
We are sorry to learn that some of |
the while ministers of the city intend j
to call upon Mayor tillxton today to
lend the support of their influence to
tho protest which a number of ne?
groes will make against the presen?
tation of ??The Clansman" at the Acad?
emy of Music next week.
Without discussing the merits or
demerits of the play, or its tendency
to stir up racial strife, we are free to
say that these protests thai are made
In nearly every city in which "Tho
Clansman" Is presented accomplish
no good, and probably do harm. In
the first place. Mayor Biixton has no
right to Interfere witli a performance
at the Academy unless he has good
reason to believe that It is so indecent
as to come under the ban of the law
on that score, or is calculated to
bring on real radial? trouble in Hie
community. Tills being the case, a
useless protest simply serves to ac?
centuate any harm that the perform
mice might do. Negroes who will not
I see the play and who, perhaps, would
not otherwise have known that it was
to be presented, will have a feeling of
resentment engendered in them and
say, and very probably believe, tlint
an indignity has been heaped upon
their race by the mayor and munlcl
pal authorities, as well as by the Rev.
Thomas Dlxou.
Any talk on the pari of the negroes
will ,as it. never falls to do, serve to
arouse the white people more thor?
oughly than a hundred performances
of "The Clansman" or any other play.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been
played hero again and again and no
one has thought of protesting against
it. Yet surely no one would claim
that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did not
come under the head of plays calcu?
lated to Inspire hatred between the
races.
Lastly, tho proposed protest Is silly
because It is as Tine an advertising
scheme as was, ever devised by a
press agent. Probably no one Is so
well pleased with tho action of tho
negroes as tho manager of "Tho
Clansman."
A WORTHY CAUSE.
Wien the city council receives a
request from the hoard of police com?
missioners for an increased appropri?
ation to provide for additional men
during tho Exposition period and to
grant an increase in pay for the po?
licemen, tho nmttor should be given
most careful consideration. It the
finances of the city will permit, the
full amount asked for by the commis?
sioners will not be too much to give
tho department.
It Is absolutely necessary that, ex?
tra men ho >pix>vidcd for Mie
Tercentennial period?there is no
room for argument on that subject
?nnd the number of additional men
should not be small.
That the policemen are . poorly paid
Is generally admitted, and we believe
the city fathers will grant such an
increase In salaries as the condition
of the treasury will warrant.
Richmond's trunk thieves seem to
stand pretty well with the New York
police.
Ten millions as a working capital
blight to keep the Tidewater road go
lug for a day or two.
Wonder If the press agent of "The
Clansman" has had his salary in?
creased on the strength of the "pro?
tests" that are preceding the South?
ern tour of bis .-.Mnv?
With incrensed cost of living every?
body else is getting bettor pay. Why
slight the coppers?
