POSTMASTER.
i -
In the event of the appoint
ment of another man for the
office of postmaster of this city,
why should it not be left to a prim
ary election? "Let the people
rule" has been the Democratic
slogan for years. No true Dem
ocrat can object to the people,
whom the postmaster is to serve,
having a voice in his selection.
It is the democratic manna. It
cannot be urged that if that
method was selected, then
the republicans could com
bine and make the nomination
of a republican certain. In the
selection of an officer to be ap
pointed by a democratic presi
dent, they would not offer to im
press their wishes on the ap
pointing power. Besides this
primary can be limited ' to the
Democratic party in which all
the party can be heard. It may
be urged that if it is left to the
people that it is possible that
their choice may not be selected
because the vote would be so
divided that no real choice of
the people would be had. This
cart easily be obviated. The
second or even the third choice
ballot can be used and then it
will finally come down to a
choice between two contending
candidates as to which will be
selected.
'.We tried to have such a pro
vision incorporated in the gen
eral pi im ury law for the State and
was ii form ad by our representa
ive that such provisions were
substantially incorporated in the
bill as drawn and which was
then before the Legislature. If
they were in the same, they were
stricken out; for certain it is that
they are not in the law.
Let's have the principles of
democracy incorporated in the
law itself. We go before the
people shouting for a rule of the
people but when it comes to en
acting laws to give the people
some voice in their government,
we find that the rights of the
people have been carefully em
asculated. Again we say "Lets have a
post office primary." If any man
is willing to oppose the rights
of the people to select their post
master, then let that man, 'go
way back and sit down."
THE PRESIDENT'S SILENCE.
The silence of the president on
important cabinet appointments,
exceeds that of Dean Maitland.
It has become oppressive. The
daily .papers are restless; also
several hundred thousand boys
who fought in the trenches are on
the anxious seat '
It may be that the President
has his mind fully made up as to
the personnel of his cabinet. If he

has, it is his duty to make it
known to the people that they
may either oppose or comfirm his
appointments. The people are
the governed and they have the
right to know whom the Presi
dent selected as his advisors. -
It Is said that "Deep water
runs still." Evidently from this
we must assume that the Presi
dent is deep in meditation and
that the appointments which he
will make will be eminently sat
isfactory to the people. This
would be confbrting to us if we
were not haunted by that other
well known fact that all still
water Is not deep. The Presi
dent should take the people into
his confidence and tell them
frankly whom he intends to ap
point as the members of his
cabinet Further dallying on his
part will confirm a well founded
belief that there are "others" who
know his mind on this subject
MADISON HAS IT.
Was it tobbacco land that you
wanted?
Madison has the best in
the State.
Was it hemp land that you
wanted?
Madison has as fine as any in
the State.
Was it corn ground that you
wanted?
Madison has the finest yes,
the very finest in the State.
Was it good schools, good
roads, good bridges and good
churches that you were looking
for?
Madison has them.
Was it good people that you
were looking for?
Madison has them but we don't
want to let any go. Come and
join our colony.
Want good grazing lands?
The best in the State, are in
Madison.
Anything else good that you
want?
Ask for it it is here.
Whoop her up for Richmond!
Don't be contented with that
sophism that we are the best peo
ple on earth and that everybody
knows it Remember that there
about fifteen millions of people
in the United States who never
heard of Richmond or its people.
Some people are migratory
birds -birds of passage. Lets
get a few to stop with us and then
show them that Richmond is a
good place for . them to live.

Yes, while we live. For a fine
funeral, a cart load of flowers or
a marble shaft piercing the skies,
will never carry a Scrooge to
heaven.
It Rains! But let it rain.
Have we not good streets and
good side walks? Many a larger
city is worse off than Richmond
in that respect Be thankful for
what we have. We will get more.
Let the knocker, squeal; the
kicker, knock and the squealer
kick. If well founded, it will do
us all good. We will correct our
errors and they will be relieved.

of them? Lets help them to be j
better yet

Church Organ.
The First Christian Church of this city
is all smiles over the announcement by Mr.
Carnegie that he will donate $2,000.00
toward buying a pipe organ for it house if
the church will donate the same amount
As the church has this sum In its coffers
for this express purpose, it will of
course secure Mr. Carnegie's $2,000.00.
With a new $4,000.00 organ, with their

The annual January reception to

several members of the faculty, received
the throng of guest. Light refreshment

Science.
Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus writes as fol
low concerning Geo. R, Stuart, who will
lecture In the chapel Monday, Feb. 17th:
"I have Just engaged George Stuart for the
fifteen hundred young men at Armour
Institute, He will delight them. I heard
him three time and I feel that I have
made the discovery of a really great mas
ter of assemblies. I laughed until I was
on the verge of collapse: then I was res
cued by a wise remark worthy of a philos
opher. I wept like a little child as he led
me through tcence of boyish delight or
sympathy. Then he lifted me to height
of moral vision which I hope I may never
forsake. Creat I the mission of humor,
great Is the cleansing power of tears which
are without regret; great is the realm of
the noble life, and George Stuart ha a
passport to them all."

The charge to the Jury was a short one
and the striking feature of same was the
warning given to prospective candidates
advising them not to engage in any cor
rupt practices at the coming primary elec
tion to be held on the first Saturday in
August The court suspended a dam
ascus sword over their heads and declared
that same will descend wtth Herculean

is In the opinion that "An ounce of pre-

we call upon him and urge him to stand
for re-election.
