General Assembly. We would have this
Legislature proceed with the utmost
deliberatlon. Every step should be
taken with circumspectlon, and every
dificulty presented should be fairly
weighed. The Dispatch does not ask
for a primary for the mere sake OF having
a great political contest before the people,
but in order that our party may emerge
from IL stronger than ever before. and

he has been consulted as to who shall
receive the nomination. The Roanoke
convention obeyed the popular wish In
nominating Hon. John w. Daniel for re-

thereby. May the Legislature likewise re-
spect the will Of our people. and pave

Pay for the Teachers.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Allow me TO express, through the Dis
patch, approval of the sentiments ex-
pressed by Right Rev. G.. C.. Penick in
to-day's paper, on "The Teachers Bur-
den." 1 cannot believe that the people
of Richmond are willing that the faith
full teachers Of our public schools shall
bear alone the expense of keeping open
our schools for nearly one ninth Of the
scholastic year.
Teaching is hard work. Teaching in
the public schools is very hard work.
Our teachers, to say the least, are not
over-paid. In a noble spirit Of self
sacrifice, strongly expressive of their in
terest in those they teach, they offer to
give all that is necessary to keep the
schools open.
Will the men OF Richmond permit these
women Qor most of the teachers are
such) to work for the city, to work for
them, without pay? Where is the chiyalry
of old Virginia? For one, l 4 am not WILL
ing that it should be so.
Let some officer at the City Hall. and
let the papers, receive voluntary contri-
buttons towards keeping tire schools open.
| think the City Council was right not
to vote money they did not have.
| think we should all honor the spirit
manifested by the officers n teachers
of our schools. / hope there is too much
honor and sense of justice in Richmond
to receive and use $500 worth Of time
and brains from some of our noblest wo-
men. and not lift a hand to help them.

THE WAY TO MAKE TEA.
1t Should Never BE Boiled, and Ii
Best Taken without Cream.

Mrs. S. 7. Rorer writes Of tea, co1ee'
cocoa, md chocolate In her cooking les
son in the December Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. In telling how to best prepare tea
she points out that ~'tannin, the obtec-
enable ingredient of tea. is more tho
roughly dissolved by boiling. To get the
least tannin we must. then, avoid boiling
the tea. The machine-picked teas are UNI
doubtedly more wholesome than the
green-colored teas or those dried on cop
per plates. Frequently, expensive teas
those sold at from $40 to s2 a pound
are not so healthful as the cheaper black
teas sold at a dollar. Tea should be
taken clear or with very little sugar. III
taken between meals it may be taken
with sugar and cream. but | cannot think
Of a more injurious or pernicious habit
than the drinking OF tea with sugar and
cream at meal time. III taken with food
1t prevents mastication. thus creating
stomach fermentation.
ITO make tea properly, first scald the
pot. drain and put into II while hot a
level teaspoonful OF tea TO each half-pint
Of water. Pour over the water at the
first boil: cover for five minutes, stir ana
use at once. The rule in making tea is
to allow one teaspoonful Of tea for each
person and one for the pot. Tea should
not, under any circumstances. be made in
a metal teapot"

OLD AND NEW.

Experience in legislative halls is a
very valuable thing for one to have when
he comes to make laws for the people,
but it is not always safe for the old
members to twit the new ones about
their freshness"
Quite recently there was an amusing
incident in a Democratic caucus, in
which the old members were told that
the reason why there are so many new
members in this General Assembly is
that the old members did not understand
the wishes of the people!
Both of these classes of members have
their uses, and, generally speaking, a
judicious blending Of the two produces
the very best results.
We are glad to find hat the new men,
bers are coming to the front in good
style, and we verify believe this fact
viii arouse heart-burnings in the breasts
CT very few old members.
The truth is there is plenty Of room
for both classes in our legislative halls.
and there is plenty Of hard. drudging,
disagreeable work, as well as plenty OF
opportunities for oratorical display. for
all.

Pledged to Reform.
Norfolk Ledger.)

The principal subject, we imagine
which will engage the attention Oh the
Assembly, will be the preparation OF suen
measures as will enable the State, a rev
years hence, to increase the interest on
its bonded debt about $4,000 per an
num-. TO do which 1t will be necessary 10
curtail expenses as well as to raise aoui-
tional revenue. The Democratic party is
pledged by its platform to economy In
the matter Of expenditures, and as the
caucus last night adopted a resolution
looking TO a reduction in salaries, the
LEGISLATURE may be expected to take ac-
ton in the direction indicated. although
the member will nave a great deal or
difficulty in resisting the efforts OF par
ties who may be affected by the proposed
legislation.

With the offices disposed of the Legis-
lature will settle down to the work OF
legislation proper. 1t will have many
measures to act on. First and foremost
will be an effort to reduce the expenses
Of the State by the exercise Of greater
economy in the administration OF seve-
raj branches of the State Government,
especially in the judiciary system and the
matter OF criminal expenses. This will
be no easy task, yet the Legislature Is
pledged to reform in this direction. the
people demand 1t and the times require
it, especially when I'm a few years the item
of an increase in the interest on the
bonded debt amounting to $4,000 per

The rioting In Bohemia will doubtless
be speedily suppressed for the Tune De-
Ing, II. indeed. II Is not already over;
but the cause II represents Will not
down. In the demonstrations In Prague
and Pflsen, described In our telegraphic
columns Of yesterday, recent history bu'
repeated itself. and these demonstrations
are likely to recur until they expand into
a revolution that will threaten the In
tegrity OF the dual monarchy. as Old the
Hungarian rebellion OF 1899. or force
from the House Of Hapsburg the ulti-
mate concessions the leaders of the agi-
tation are aiming to secure.
The present Bohemian disturbances are
more than a reflex Of the language row
tina ~dIsgraced the Austrian Reichsrath at
It's recent sitting. Like the previous out
breaks OF a similar character in Bo-
hernia, they trace back to a more signi-
hcant demand thai that embraced In any
mere question OF the dignity of n lam
guage. The language issue Is only a
phase OF a much more momentous strug-
gle.
In 1926. through Louis. King OF Bo-
hernia, who was also King of Hungary,
and who fell at the battle Of Mohacs. the
crown of Bohemia, along with the Hun
garian crown. became merged into the
crown of the Hapsburgs. AS we Know
the Magyars' long struggle for H~ungary's
rights eliminated in 1867 in the Austrian
Emperor's going to Budapest and form
ally. and amid great pomp, assuming the
Hungarian crown, or crown OF st. Ste
phen. Since then Hungary has not only
been a coordinate Power with Austria
In the dual monarchy, but practically has
gradually attained domination in the af-
fairs of the hyphenated nations. The Mag
vars have secured substantially every
thing they rave striven for in their
clashes with Austria, except absolute
separate autonomy-or absolute separa-
ton from Austria-and that Is not de-
sired except by a few extreme Hungarian
Nationalist. The Magyar statesmen
recognize that Hungary united to Aus
tria is a great and influential Power, but
that she could not stand alone. especially
against the pan-Slavic movement of Rus
STA.
The population of Bohemia is composed
of about three fifths Czechs and two
fifths Germans. and the Czech language
agitation simply gives expression to one
of the forces of a movement for establish
ing in Bohemia the same order of things
that exists in Hungary. The language
decree that contributed so much to the
overthrow of Badeni is a great point
gained in this movement. And while, as We
have said, the rioting in Bohemia. doubt
less is, or soon will be, at an end for the
time being. the encouragement the decree
gives the Czechs is calculated to embolden
and stimulate them to put in motion in
the near future other forces that will
conduce to the triumph of their cause
forces that otherwise might ave lair
dormant for a considerable length Of
time still.
