newspapers. But we buy every month
one hundred and twelve copies of mag
azines and circulate ninety-two copies
all the time. A subscriber, therefore,
can draw a magazine for home reading
and two books at the same time, besides
having the privilege of scanning the
daily papers in the reading room If
he has a family and will pay five dol
lars, all the members of the household
may draw books and magazines, and
there IS no limit In the number More
over, our rules are liberal as to time,
and on! patrons do not need to charge
their minds as to the exact hour Of re-
turn. Cards are not required, and our
charging system is so simple that very
little waiting is ever required. During
the year we have introduced a new
feature relative to new books which
are much In demand Duplicate copies
are purchased for the library, of which
some may be reserved upon request,
but others are marked with a yellow
label on the cover and are placed upon
the table, where the rule of first come,
first served" is inflexibly followed This
does away with any possible favorit-
ism, If the book Is especially popular a
large number of copies are bought for
the special loan" department, for
which a nominal charge of five cents
week is made. In no place outside of
the institute can anyone secure more
promptly the fresh magazines and the
new books soon after their publication.
1t is interesting to note how the
character of the work Of the institute
has changed since it was started in
1926. 1t was the design of the foun-
ders to furnish opportunities to the
voting men OF the city for mental inn
provement and cultivation. To this end
classes were formed for instruction in
various practical branches, and these
were largely attended through all the
winter season. Besides this for MANY
years the institute was responsible for
the only popular course Of public lee
lures, and brought to this city reg,1-
larly the most brilliant orators of the
land. ] am not sure whether or not
in those days ladies We're admitted to
the library. Now. the work is entirely
changed. We have become q great read
ing club, whose members vie with each
other to secure the latest publications
on every subject During the day la
dies and young people form by far the
larger portion of our patrons. More of
the freshest books IS the constant de-
sire, and to this want we cater, up to
the limit of our funds. We are grad
ually approaching the time when our
income will be entirely available for
our current expenses, and we can then
expend larger sum upon reading mat

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Last summer, when the Executive
Virginian-P Pilot begged. even implorcd,
that powerful body to give the people
a chance in Primary The committee
did not do ii.
The people were not voting then.
Again, when the Stands matter came
up, the Executive Committee of the
State was begged and implored to keep
its hands off. II refused to do it, but
endorsed Colonel Boyl>in. thing 1t
had no right at all to do, but which,,
even If it had right, 1t should not
have done. The people were not voting
then.
The Virginian- Pilot then said: "As
sure as there is just Providence that
rules over men, somebody has got to
answer for this outrage. IT IS BET
TER TO SPEAK NOW THAN TO
WAIT LATER"
Let us see the result when the peo-
pie got at 1t.
(1) The people of Isle of Wight. Nan
semond and Southampton laid low
Colonel Boyl1in, n man hard to beat
personally; and it was very nearly
unanimous.
(2) The Democratic Caucus OF the
Senate. elected by the people, laid low
the State Executive Committee and eX-
posed the shortcoming of the report.
(3) Nothing but the individuals re-
main The PEOPLE vote NOW. The
individuals who made up that commit
tee must answer for their acts. Their
vote meant that the people of Il county,
or district, could not select their own
candidates; it meant that that commit
tee would coerce the people to vote for
it's favorlte: it meant that the LIB
ERTY OF THE PEOPLE IS UNSAFE
IN THEIR HANDS.
These gentlemen evidently had good
reasons to themselves. for voting
against the interest of the people. 1t
might have been to conserve the inter-
ests OF some friend, boss or master.
BE 1t known that the Virginian-Pilot
recognizes no boss, no master and no
friend. save the people.

Western will stand In the way Of pro-
gress..
or course. the bridge must incommode
the Norfolk and Western slightly, but
the Norfolk and Western incommodes
the people Of Norfolk. not only at the
Virginia depot. but at the Portsmouth
and Berl1lcy ferries, The Norfolk and
Western, besides. enjoys. on Water
street, franchise of very great finan-
Sial value.
We simply mention these things as
our reasons for believing that the Nor
folk and Western will treat the peo-
pie of Norfolk. at least, with the same
consideration as the people show to this
great corporation, and will call off its
lobby at Richmond.
AS to our friends in Portsmouth and
the County, we look for no serious OPP
position. The City ana County own the
Ferries, but they will not stand in the
way OF progress.
Increase in population and business
of the Port, inures; to the benefit of
the County.
Portsmouth recently has received
nearly million dollars of investments.
This inures to the benefit of Norfolk
and Berkeley, and enriches the whole

common purpose of making this Port
equal to any OH the Atlantic coast;-one
grand section, TO which all Nirginians
will be proud to point. The Berkeley

rection.

.-In-his speech in the Senate January
II and IS, Mr. Teller, of CoIoradU;- -diii.=-
cussing the goldstandnrd bill, asked
this pertinent question: rs there any
demand or good reason for the propo-
sition to reduce the metal money and
turn the paper-money making power
over to the banks?" The merit OF such
question as that is that it locates,
defines and accentuates at once several
important issues in the great financial
struggle now on. or course, it is said
that silver coin. If money at all. is an
inferior money; but, besides many other
considerations bearing on this point,
Mr. Teller proves on the testimony OF
Secretaries of the Treasury, that with
in recent years the money changers
themselves have voluntarily exchanged
at the Treasury sl67, 100000 of gold for
silver coin, against an exchange of only
100000 of silver for gold coin. And
look at silver in France.

Messrs. Whitehead and Lyons. in the

thorizing the building of bridge be-

Council of Berkley has endorsed 1t, and
the people. in general. favor it. 1t
means the immediate development of

OF the enterprising city of Berkeley tt

The Norfolk and Western railroad has
been unfavorable TO the enterprise, and
has opposed every effort on the part
of the city to obtain the bridge.
1t is not believed that the Norfolk and
Western Will now oppose the measure.

has done SO much towards the upbuild-
ing OF the Norfolk section. enjoys many
privileges OF great money value at the

IS THE CONVENTION HoBBLEpa

III.
The virglnian-Pllot has anxlously
awaited statement, or an argument,
in behalf of a Constitutional Conven-
ton that would make a case of urgency
or necessity for calling that grand body
together at this time. We have had
this constitution for thirty years. and
nave contrlved to live under it with ut
any great outcry against 1t on account
OF It's Sins OF commission, or omission
NO convention has been called to
amend 1t. and, on the contrary. all
propositions to call convention have
been voted down. Meanwhile the n
stitution has been amended in many
ana various particulars, by legislative
action and popular referendum. If
there are other desirable amendments.
why can they they not be adopted by
THIS method? Are there any very i'm
portant ones that have been delayed
for thirty years. which must now he
put through. post haste, by a, party
State Convention, ordered by a party
vote?
AS we understand the program pro-
posed the Democratic State Committee
is to assume that the Democrats of the
State are eager for a constitutional
convention, and 1t is expected to call a
Democratic State convention that will
make the constitutional convention
party measure, and direct all Demo-
Gratis TO vote for it. If the ma ter II Id
been made an issue in the nomination
and election of the legislators chosen
last year, and it had been freely and
fully discussed before the people, it
would be proper enough for the MEM
bers of the Legislature, truly repre-
senting their constituents, to take steps.
In caucus. favorable to a convention to
amend the constitution and asking that
the next Democratic State Convention
commit the party to the project. 3 ut
in advance of such issue and discussion,
with favorable popular result. such
action looks like a snap-judgment.
There are several constitutional
amendments that the Virginian-Pilo
would be glad to see adopted, but it

vention for their adoption. or that can
not be more properly discuss

cation and discussion of the proposed
amendments before the people by the
candidates for and against them.--the

latures, to become parts of the consti-
tuition only on their ratification by a
vote of a majority of the qualified cleo
tors.
