MR. MARTIN'S ELECTION AS Dl-1
RECTOR GENERAL.
While this paper cannot wax enthu?
siastic over the election of Mr. Alvall
if, Martin us director general ot tho
Jamestown Imposition, R does trust
and sincerely hope that the "storm
of disapproval" roferrod to in dispatch?
es published yesterday hi papers all
over the country, will subside at once,
and Hint those who are Inclined to
criticise tho directors for their action
will keep silent during the next eight
weeks, at least.
Aftor November '.to, the. Exposition
gales will bo closed, and all parties
concerned can storm Just as much na
they choose.
It Is haidly necessary to call at?
tention again to tho fact that Virgin
la's great fair, which, experts say, ranks
with any of the International exposi?
tions held In the past, lias never been
given a fair deal. From Us- very be
gluing the cx)>osltln|i suffered from
' every liunglnnbTe unfavorable clvcuin
etance, iFrtto and Mr.^Cannon'Bdemed
to work band In hand until tho latter
hud done his worst; then mismanage?
ment an i!| caustic* unreasonable
critics look Uncle Joe's place. For
two months the Exposition has been
complete and worthy of considoiatlon
at the hands of tho world, but new
difficulties are ever bobbing up, and
It lias seemed Impossible to recover
from the effects of a bad start.
When Mr. Jamba Mi Barr was made
director general, a ray of hope entered
the hearts of the people of this sec?
tion, and for a (line It was believed
that success was lit hand. The belief
was poorly founded, however, for Mr.
Bnrr's brief slay and tho ugly noise
abroad made by his stopping down
nnd but, did more than enough harm
to counterbalance any good that tue
director general might have accom?
plished. Then came the urging of Mr.
Burr to reconsider bis resignation, and
dining this period tlx* Exposition re?
ceived still more undesirable adver?
tising. The "social war" became a
popular theme for the pnragraphors
and rhytustors of papers all over tho
country.
As Mr. Hair positively refused to
reconsider his resignation, and insisted
that he bo relieved of his duties at
once, there was only one thing fov
for the directors to do. even If the
treasury department did desire that
the resignation ho not accepted. If
Mr. Barr would] not serve, It became
absolutely necessary for tho directors
to elect somebody to relievo him.
Mr. Alvah H. Martin was chosen
for the place, and then enmo tho
"storm of disapproval." It Is not the
purpose of The Dally Press to dis?
cuss tho merits- or demerits of the new
director general at this time. The end
of tho Exposition Is drawing near; In
Just eight short weeks the gates of
the Tercentennial will close forever.
Anyone who has the slightest Interest
In tho Exposition or Virginia should
cp-oporata In making tno closing days
of the fair as successful as possible;
and everyone must recognize the fact
that it would bo suicidal to start a
row at this time over the election of
Mr. Martin.
Whatever objection may bo raised
against Mr. Martin, ho is now director
general of the Exposition and it Is
hardly likely that another change will
be made during the short time thai
Ik to pass boforo (bo Tor-centennlal
pa ? >?.. Into history. To atari a pro
tost against tho action of the directors
Is to make it Impossible for tho Expo?
sition to end Its days in peace.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Edwards Is said to bo very much
worked up over tho action of the dl
rcctors, and It Is strongly Intimated
that lie will show his feelings by ex?
erting some of tho power which a
$900,000 claim gives. We trust thai
the assistant secretary will realize! that
the government will stand a bettor
chance of getting hack Its cash if tho
Exposition Is nut molested at this
lime. ? v
Storms of disapproval are not In
order Just now.
RESULT OF SENDING NEGROES
TO WHITE SCHOOLS.
Hooker T. Washington, Jr., and an?
other negro youth left a Northern
college a day or two ago because,
they claimed, they were discriminated
against on account of their race. Tho
president of the college is out with a
statement that the two nogroos left
school because they did not want to
submit (o discipline.
Perhaps, after a while, well meaning
but Ignorant people In some of tho
northern states will learn that It Is
not to the negro's advantage Id be sent
to a white school. Anglo-Saxon
hoys In Ilm North or In the South, will
never treat a negro as an equal.
To send a black boy to a school
With young men of the superior race
is bound to result in Hu- humiliation
of both the negro and tho white boyu
who are thus compelled to associate
with him,

MR. TAFT'S REAL MISSION TO
JAPAN,
It Is reported from Washington
that the prime object of Secretary
Taft's visit to Japan Is to Impress
upon that government the resolute
purpose of the United States to ex?
clude Japanese laborers, not only for
Hie welfaro of our coiintrv, but as a
peace measure. It Is further said
that his mission has been eminently
successful, ami that an undo stand
?- has been reached whereby Japan
will either agree to an exclusion irea
'v or will undertake to prevent any
Japanese outcry against an exclusion
act by Congress.
I If Secretary Taft has accomplished
'this he has done well. Then. |!; bill
1 one way to preserve (he peace be
itween the while race and colored
I races', and that is by sonarntlon. Wo

wherever there is any couBldoraKo
number of colorojl persons 1? any

will be a rare problem, and a rare
problem means friction, Tho way lo

TALKING PEACE; THINKING WAR
While the pi ace speeches are being
made, the building or ships proceeds.
That Is the admirable modern
i method. "The talk of war Is Infa?
mous," says the Socrotary of War.
"Tho talk or war is silly," echoen
Fighting Hob Evans. "All Is now se?
rene," snys Viscount Okumn. "Taft
lias set everything straight," says Vis?
count Tor.aUChl. And the chorus on
both sides Is: "War? Dab! It Is Idle
to talk of war."
It Is Idle lo talk of war, of course
It Is much bettor to think ol it and
to net In preparation for II. Talk
peace but think war. Is Japan's mot?
to. Possibly there may be some stray
thoughts of that kin,) on this side of
the Pacific, If there lire not. the ad?
ministration Is not living up to the
Injunctions of doorgo Washington,
who urged his countrymen In limn
ot peace to prepare Tor war. He wns
not a man who believed In pence with
Insult. Oddly enough, the sentiments
i or Washington, when expressed by
Roosevelt, are construed by some per?
sons to mean that Hie creation or n
strong navy Is desired ror the pur?
pose oT going out among the nations
and hunting ror a fight. The milksop
wan In the minority in Washington's
Ihne, and lie Is outnumbered now, al?
though bis shriek has acquired n moro
plorclg quality,
Japan, like the United Staves, be?
lieves In the blessings of peace. It!
has not fought when it could avoid
war honorably. When It was forced
to fight, it fought with all Its might.
Experience with Christian nations has
taught It that war Is BOtuotlmos neces?
sary. Ho It Is preparing for such a
stormy time?not hoping for a storm,
but getting ready for It Just Hie sinne.
The New York Herald prints a lotto
from Tokyo, dated September 11,
Which shows clearly how the Japa?
nese talk of peace and think of war:
"Extraordinarily vapid progress m
the building of warships at Kure is
noted in tho native press. The flrst
Class cruiser Ikuma, recently launch?
ed Is now receiving her armament,
und it Is expected sko will be ready
ror her trial trip some tlino In Octo?
ber, The first-class cruiser Ibtlkl, 14.
fiflo tons, wns laid down on April 22.
In succession to the battleship Akl.
and It Is predicted that she will be
launched within six months and will
be ready for sen by April of next year.
The officers of the construction bu?
reau of the naw department are unt?
il.ally very much elated at the pros
peel of the completion of a first-class
crul.rer of approximately lajinn tons
within a ?vonr'from the date or laying
her kivl, and assert t.luit this Is a feat
that can 1" equaled only In England."
The letter goes on to review the
naval activity at Kure. Yokosuka. and
Sasebo navy yards, where the govern?
ment Is building other cruisers and
repairing warships taken from the
Russians, it In also noted that a ship?
building plant and powder factory are
lo be established at Mororan, where
a stoel plant Is also In operation.
Guns, armor pinto, and ammunition
will sonn be turned out of Japanese
factories for the equipment of Japa?
nese yards and manned exclusively
by Japanese.
One Ihing. therefore Is certain. The
voice of the milksop Is not potent In
Japan.?Washington Post.
THE WORM AND THE STAR.

Remarked that for painting and shew?

some.- far
Than that of the proud, plutncrntlcnl
star
That swam In tho ether and seethed
to look down
(>n the worm in the path with con
templlbto frown.
Just then an unthinking, preoccupied
man,
With never a glimpse of the worm In
hh; span.
Trod out Its soft glow, nnd Its life
mid Its light.
And left not a sign of Its place on the
night.
The load, with a humph, turned Its
head lo the sky
And saw in Its quiet, serene homo on

added, plaintively, that bis friend hml
not only stolen It, but disguised It.
"Why," answered Scott, skilfully
waiving the main charge, "this is al?
