NORFOLK'S KICK.
The Norfolk Landmark resents the
numerous reports in circulation to the
detriment of the Jamestown Exposi
tion, not that the Exposition is itself
not worth Uking in. but that soem get
rich quick people make It too expen
aire for visitors to make the trip. Our
esteemed Norfolk contemporary says:
"One of the best known business
men in Norfolk, who Is interested in
the Jamestown Exposition only as a
public spirited cltlxen. calls The Land
mark's attention to correspondence
between himself and a friend in North
Carolina. The business man expresses
great indication at the slanderous
stories that are being circulated, in
spite of denial and disproof, about
the difficulty of obtaining reasonable
accommodation here for Exposition
visitors.
This matter was threshed out pret
ty thoroughly before the Exposition
opened. There was then reason to
fear that extortion might be attempt
ed, but discussion of the subject and
the common, sense of those who . fix
the prices soon changed the outlook;
and now It Is simply untrue that vis
itors to the Exposition cannot obtain
good food and lodging at reasonable
prices. The person who Is foolish may
he exploited by somebody, as he would
be exploited anywhere else in the
world. No one with eyes and aver
age intelligence will have reason to
complain of undue expense for ac
commodation, ff he comes here now.
At all times, the visitor of discretion
will engage his accommoda lions
ahead.
The business man to whom we
have referred showed The Landmark
the damaging reports in circulation
about the gouging of Exposition visitors-
The friend said that he de
sired to visit the Exposition, with his
family, but was afraid to do so be
cau.u of these rumors. He asked the
Norfolk man. as a special favor, to
see of accommodatioa could be se
cured. Of course, the Norfolklan at
once wrote, giving details about the kfter other matters. Charlotte Chron

cost of accommodation!
ly denying the slanders In circula
tion. The prices which were quoted
to the North Carolinian were reason
able and satisfactory.
The thousands of people who come
here and get" good treatment at prop
er prices should follow the example of
Mr. Howlson. of Richmond, and give
the public the benefit of their expe
rience. The trouble is that one man
who has made a goose of himself and
has paid more than he ought to have
paid, when a little Intelligence would
have protected him. will go away and
make more fuss than a thousand peo
ple who are satisfied. It Is like the
grasshopper under a leaf and the
great herd of cattle grazing In the
field. You would think from the noise
that the grasshopper was larger than
the whole herd. Gross Injustice is
being done our community by the
statement that extortionate prices
prevail. A square deal is all we want
from the outside, but we are not get
ting It to any alarming extent"
Visitors to the Exposition have to
take The Landmark's word for It
that extortion is not practiced against
people who go to the Exposition. No
doubt in some Instances there are un
reasonable charges, but The Land
mark means to deny that the thng Is
either systematic or general.
The fact Is. The landmark Is de
nying the same kind of reports that
get out about ail Exposition cities.
There are plenty of people who will
take advantage of others. Exposition
or no Exposition, but as a matter of
fact visitors expect to get It In the
neck to a greater or less extent dur
ing an Exposition. It must be re-
membered that the people of an Ex-
position city are more or less np
against it themselves when It comes
to getting gouged. The price of labor
and help necessarily goes out of all
. . ,, . , .
ly high, and so are about all things
else. Everbody gets "frenzied." and
yon cant get anybody to turn
around for less than a dollar. How
ever, people will be glad to learn
from The Landmark that the gouging
stories are to a large extent slander
ous. NEW SPECIMEN OF REPUBLICAN

Mr. Stephenson opposes subsides. And

table of contents Is a veritable argo-
sv of eood things, notable among
which is a dramatic production enti
tled "A Princess of Virginia, by Kate
Tucker Coode. It Is needless to say
that It refers to Pocahontas, and Its
pretentiousness can be realized when
It is stated that the style Is classic

will read The Wilmington Star, of

Senator Rayner, of Maryland, who
stands in the first rack of Democratic
statesmen In the Union, has just given
the New York "Herald" a signed
statement of reasons why, the nomi
nation of Mr. Bryan for the Presi
dency next year is highly impolitic
and unpromising. He is exceedingly
convincing. The Bryan platform is
impossible. Tnat is reason enough.
State Chairman Connere. of New
York, onnounces a conference of
nineteen Governors (count 'em) and
other Democrats from all parts of
the United States next November
to take into consideration the state
of the party with reference to the en
suing national campaign. These
things are not conclusive of anything,
it is true, but they do show there is a
feel Jag of unrest In the ranks of the
Democratic party over the prospect
of another campaign and a necessarily
hopeless one under the Bryan leader
ship, which tends ever more to radi
calism and away from anything that
was ever known for Democracy un
