at an adjourned meeting of Council

Mr.. Welsh, of the fire and water com.
mittee, submitted q report recommend
ing that the city contract with the Roa-
noke Electric Light and Power Company
for twenty-five arc lights, to be placed
on the principal business streets of the
city. The report was discussed and re-
committed to the com mitteo for further

THE CHAMBER OF CUMnERCE

THE TIMES predicts with the utm ost
confidence that Roanoke has nearly
reached turning point and milestone
in its career. 1t does not refer alone to
tho great results which may spring
from tho impetus of the Decennial Cele-
bration, but more particularly to the
approaching organization of the Cham
Der of Commerce. A strongly organized
Chamber in Roanoke mado up of its
pushing business men, proceeding on
strict business principles, can under
existing conditions do mere to develop
the city than tie best binations did
in tho palmy days of the boom.
THE TIMES reports elsewhere the pro-
gross during the last twenty-four hours
of tho new Chamber of Commerce.
There is, as result of the energetic
efforts of Mr.. w. e. Deaten and his CO.
laborers, an assured mem bership OF
seventy-two firms, embracing among
that number many of leading business
mon OF Roanoke and over ono hundred
individuals. Many more are yet to be
seen and their cooperation invited.
The formation and perfecting of the
Cham Der is in good hands and its sue
cess may be safely predicted.
The scope of the Chamber OF Com
merce IS, of course, to BIO determined by
its members. Certain objects to be at
tanned, however, are common to all such
bodies, whatever name they bear.
review of those matters upon which
they most successfully direct the ir en-.
ergies is now in order.
a Chamber OF Commerce is organized
primarily to look after the commercial
Interests OF its community; TO protect
those interests first, and, secondly, to
foster and increase them in all profit
able directions; to seek now fields for
their extension and to point out new d.
rections for the investment of capital.
With those as the fundamental objects
of the Cham Der its energies may branch

able men whom are at the helm of its
affairs are strongly predisposed to be-
lieve that the commercial interests OF
Roanoke are destined in the near future
to outstrip it's manufactures, no matter
how rapidly the industries may develop
The geographical arguments are
strongly on tho side OF the prediction.
1t is natural to suppose, thon, that
the Chamber of Commerce will at an
early day tako up the matter OF freight
rates and endeavcr to obtain relief and
protection from the undue and unfavor-
able advantages which competing
points enjoy to the disadvantage OF
Roanoke MGR chants and commercial in
terests. Southwestern industrial inter
ests have been so carefully and gener-
ously protected that it is entirely roa-
sonable to suppose that the no less do
serving commercial interests will re-
ceive equally favorable attention.
Next, tho arguments which induced
Roanoke to subscribe 5000, ZOO to secure
the Roanoke and Southern are equally
of the Baltimore and Ohio, tho Chesa-
peake and Ohio and tho building of tho
Craig Mineral railroad. Atlanta, with
its 100000 population, lies at the center
OF a network Of railroads. There is
room for greater Atlanta in Roanoke.
The Chamber of Commerce, composed
as it will be, largely of merchants, may
look with longing eyes to the fine ter
ritory naturally tributary to Roanoke,
in the Western Shenandoah Valley and
Central West Virginia.
From longing to reaching will be but a
pace and the Chamber may be expected
to get right down to the root of things
and find out why two great corporations
like the Baltimore tS Ohio and Chesa-
peake & Ohio pass by our doors and do
knock and enter.
These are but two of hundred i'm
portant. matters which the Chamber of
Commerce may be expected to take up
will take up. The industrial develop
ment of the city which has received the
oeSU Inou8nI OF tne pest Drains IN Koa-
noke will not be neglected, but it will
be approached from the business side
and not from the side of speculation or
development.
The first questions will not be; Will
it develop the city and increase values?
but-will it pay? will it stand on it's
own feet? Mot how much does it want?
but what has it got?
The internal affairs of the city are
within it's scope. The chan Der will
ask: Are the merchants unjustly
taxed? Are they Disseminated against?
Are the fire limits and building regula.
tions such as will tend to protect our
property and reduce insurance risks and
rates? Is the citys business conducted
in a business-like manner? Are we
getting what we pay for? Are public
Improvements what they ought to be?
The Chamber of Commerce ought to
be and will be the representative voice
of the city's material interests. THE
TINES reioices that the opportunity has
bound men who have seized upon it.

MRS. LEASES gable about being q nited

silly. The federal constitution bars her.
I. deciares that "no person shall be sens
ator who shall not have attained to the
age OF 80 years. and been nine years cit.
izsn Of the Uaited States, and who shall
not when elected be- an inhabitant OF that
State for which HE shall be chosen"
That word "ne" bars ner reffectuaily.-To'

The Blade is evidently looking for an
excuse to bar out the great Kansas re-
former. The qualifications for United
States Senator are stated entire in the
requirements that said applicant for q
seat shall have attained the age OF 30
years, and have been 8 years citizen
of the United States, and be an inhab-
liant of the State from which be (ol
Bhe) was chosen. The law quotes. che,
but thatis mere reference to the per
son so elected, and does not touch tht
question of qualification or eligibility
at all. Should Mrs. Lease be electe'

"rhe American people have become

MRS. MARY LEASE, POLITICIAN.

Although the people of this country
are very generally inclined to regard
the career of the Kansas woman polti-
clan, Mrs. Mary Lease, with amused
disdain, it is well worth their while to
understand that she has become a
distinct power not only in her own
State but in some others. AS the most
striking example of the American
woman in politics she is worthy OF
study. Some great statesmen have
made serious mistakes, bat who ever
heard of any mistakes by the Hon
Mary Lease ?-Chicago Herald.
