THE NIGHT SCHOOL.
Progress

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: 1t
was pleasure to read in yorrr issue of
Sunday, April 10, the excellent letter
of Mr.. c. q. Eddy, vice-prcsidcnt Of the
Norfolk and Western railroad urging
upon our City Council the establishment
of night schools as part Of our public
school system. An analysis according
to the daily work Of the pupils attend
ing the free night school will show how
much night instr uction is needed and
appreciated.
There are now forty pupils in the
night school, of whom eighteen came
from the Roanoke Machine Works, ten
from the Norfolk and Western offices,
two from the city engineers office, two
from the coal and coke company's office,
one from the American Bridge Com
pany, one from Grocer Furnace, one
from lIammond's printing works, one
from the Consolidated Mining Com
pany's office, one from the Bridgewater
Carriage Company, one from Dunlap g.
Barnett's office, one from bakers shop
and one is a carpenter
Among thesese pupils, who arc all
working we'll there are a number of
boys too young for apprenticeship. Tho
free night school was not intended
originally to include them, but they
could not be turned away after coming,
and instruction had to be provided for
them. The city should take care of
them. The remainder include appren-
tices and regular workers who arc try
ing to improve themselves in their call
ings.
1t would be very encouraging to the
pupils and very beneficial to the night
school if some of our public-spirited
citizens would offer two prizes of IS, ono
for the best piece of free-hand drawing
and one for the best specimen of me-
chanical drawing executed by tho
pupils, comparative progress being, of
course, taken into consideration.
The thanks of beth pupils and teach
ors are due to the City Council for it's
promptness in providing good lights for
the drawing classes and to the school
board for the use of the First Ward
school building.
Very respectfully.
WM. TAYLOR THoM, chairman.

A CATHEDRAL CITY.

The subject Of the erection of West
and Southwest Virginia into 4 separate
Episcopal diocese is worthy Of moro
than passing attention. 1t will be
found of interest 20 laymen even out
side the Episcopal Church. To Roam
oke it means much, for this is the ma
tural center for the cathedral city and
here is where the bishop should find a
home.
There is plenty of time to discuss the
diocese can be created. But here is an
outline for the situation. To be n
cathedral city we must show 4 willing
ness to erect cathedral.
What magnificent site might be
found either on Terry Hill or the West
END boulevard, where the noble eX-
panse of mountain scenery on every
side would surround that jewel of mans
tribute to his Maker-a cathedral.
And if the spirit should move to the
erection of this western diocese TIE
TIMES believes that the Episcopal
Church would wax strong and great I'M
der the guidance of such broad minded
cultured and progressive man as Rev.
Melville Jackson, ID. d., now assistant
bishop Of Alabama, and formerly of
Virginia.
That cathedral ought to cost some
thing like S"0u,O00.

LICENSE TAXES.

Taxation is good or evil according to
its application. In Egypt once the gov
eminent put heavy tax on date palm
trees, so heavy that there was a certain
loss on every crop. The peasants stood
it one season and then cut down the
trees by the thousands. Tho govern
ment then came to it's senses and took
off the tax.
Here in Roanoke license taxes arc
applied with n doXtcrous unwisdom,
which il none tho less unwiso because
they are not absolutely prohibitive.
Professional men are taxed for tho privi-
lege Of practicing their professions. 1t
is exactly as unjust to tax professional
man for laboring as it would be to tax a
hod carrier for the privilege of carrying
q hod, and because professional men
submit to it does not justify the tax in
ono iota.
III Roanoke were as progressive in the
matters Of taxation and municipal gov
eminent as her citizens arc in business
matters and industrial development,
she would throw thrcc-fourths OF her
license laws into The rubbish pile with
other fifteenth century brio -a-brac

Tho Presid ent's Southern Trip.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The receptions accorded the President
during his Southern tour have been
highly fattering. Men Of all parties
have joined in doing him honor, There
is general disposition among the Dem
ocrats to connect this tour with a Ire
liminary political campaign. In this
spirit the New York Herald has taken
the trouble to collect the opinions of
various Southern editors in the places
visited by the President as to the result
of the visit.
One OF the editors interviewed was

We will never again hear of the force bill

and the South will meet him half way. These
enthusiastic receptions are not the outward
glamour OF forced hos pitaity; they are heart
felt. Southern Democracy will not be less

but more tolerant. The sections are rubbing
shoulders.
The most sensible remark of all, this

ago we should not have had much talk

and business principles must rule. The

THE CORRIGAN CASE.

The decis ion of Judge Robertson
in the Corrigan case should meet with
tho favor OF at least majority Of the
good citizens Of Roanoke. His reasons
as stated are sufficient. The result of
this Ease also shows the nocess ity of
the excise board having some fixed
rules of action. Had the board acted
under rules that should regulate at
least part of their actions, the ma
jority of the board would not have been
subjected to the humiliation of having
their action reversed by Judge Robert

THE FLYING MACHINE POSSIBLE.

Superintendent S. y. Langley, Of the
Smithsonian Institution. read paper
before the National Academy of
Sciences, in session at Washington
Tuesday, which will attract wide attcn-
ton. He is physicist of high stand

air increases wi;h the horizontal speed
of the object moving through it. FoI

horizontal plane is perceptibly longer
in falling TO the ground from a giver
height than the same stick dropped
without being whirled. Professor Lang
