-------------------- ----------- A Good Will to Break.
'om the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 We think the country will sustain us in awarding the palm of churlishness to the late Jacob s. Rogers who has left practically his whole fortune-the sum of $S,000, ,000-to the Metropolitan Museum O. New York. This Is not to say that the museum is not deserving of the most lib- eral recognition by wealthy men On the contrary, we regard 1t as an institution of the utmost merit, which reflects great credit on the chy in which it is situated and which confers untold benefits upon hundreds of thousands of people every year. It is intelligently managed, in re- spect to keeping open on Sundays-the only days in the week when the laboring classes can enjoy its advantages-and in that regard it differs very greatly from a number of strictly public establishments of far greater pretensions which really be- long to the people. If MT. Rogers had left a million or so to the museum he would have made a very useful disposi- tion of that part of his fortune and have attached to his memory an eternal need of gratitude and honor. His name will be held in high esteem by no one, however, for 1t Is only too evident that in making his testament he was inspired chiefly by the meanest motives. If he had been genuine philanthropist, there are many ways In which he could have turned his vast wealth to the uses of mercy and hu- manity and still have done justice to his Kindred To take care of them was a natural obligation, and he should have done this, within reason. before thinking of any other disposition of his enormous fortune. Every consideration of duty and good feeling pointed that way. The law full heirs, 1t appears, are determined to contest the will. We do not wonder. Neither shall we grieve should they sue ceed in breaking 1t into pieces

The Outcome.

The constitutional convention now sit ting In Richmond was largely the outcome Of this fight. Coming along with 1t is the overwhelming defeat of the machine can didate for governor of the state and the brilliant success of one who from the be- ginning of his campaign announced him. self as the candidate of the people, and opposed outright to ring rule and machine methods in Virginia
 A year or so ago there developed in Vir- ginia a sentiment favoring the election of United States Senators by a direct vote or the people, instead of by the iegisla- lure, as at present. This sentiment, at first weak and really based upon a desire to defeat machine methods, steadily strengthened until it become a formida- ble factor in the eyes of It's opponents It resulted in meeting held in Richmond and known as the May Conference" This meeting was called by a dozen or so lead ing citizens. a number of whom were ex- perienced and practical business men, men who had the interest of the Common wealth at heart. When the body assem- bled the Hon. John Goode, who has long been a conspicuous figure In Virginia poli- tics, and who Is recognized as one of the ablest speakers in the state. announced from the platform that there had been low mutterings of dissatisfaction at the existing high-handed political methods, and it was time for united action At the May Conference many representative bus mess men assembled and able speeches were made, showing an undercurrent of sentiment against the cut-and-dried meth ods of the political machine. The office holders in the state. and men who were identified with the machine, ridicued the meeting, and referred to 1t as conven- tion of ''has beens~ and would bes" a gathering of "soreheads' and "dissatisf ed kickers," desirous of bringing about a revolution in political conditions through out the state in order to enjoy notoriety. But this body was in earnest It took the initial step toward eleoting United States Senators by popular vote, and put itself on record as being opposed to ring rule in Virginia.

RING RULE IN VIRGINIA
The People Have Office Holding Trust Vote Two OneThe Bitter Fight for the Gubenord Nomination and the ConSu-
 tOnaI Convention Are the Results of the Uprising
BY R. G. HlDEN MANAGING EDITOR OF "THE RICHMOND TMEs

There is an old saying that when the people are aroused against what they re- gard a usurpation of their rigths or privileges, their indignation is sweeping and supreme. Perhaps there are few peo- pie in this country who are more patient and long suffering than Virginians; but when once worked up to a point calling for quick and decisive action they are equal to the emergency.
 The present political situation in the Old Dominion Is unique and interesting. For years the state of Virginia like Pennsyl- vania, New York, North Carolina, Ili- nois and other states, has been in the clutches of what is known as the"politi- cal machine" and what is called in some states ring rule" So far has this con dbtion of affairs reached that unless man belong to the machine or affiliated with the ring. in sympathy as well ac tion, he was practically debarred from political preferment. Some of the strong est, ablest and wiseslt men in the"Old Commonwealth" have been shut out of political life by reason of their refusal to cooperate with this machine, and their determination to occupy an entirely inde- pendent political position which would en- able them to be free from any sort of compromise and from the beck and call of the political bosses. The result of this situation was to practically annihilate the interests in politics which many of the leading citizens in the state otherwise na- turally felt through their patriotism and love for Virginia. But for several years there has been smouldering a slow fire of sentiment which has now developed into furnace of antagonsm against the ring rule and dictatorial methods adopt ed and carried out by the machine. The result Is that the whole arena of politics has assumed an entirely different phase, and the State of Virginia will soon be put out of the power of the ring. This vic tory has been won only after a hard and long fight but 1t bids fair to be sweeping and complete.

Convention Suggested.

Following the conference came the sir- gestion to hold the constitutional conven- ton. This suggestion was based upon the

But another illustration of the manner in which the people can be aroused against ring-rule and political bossism Is shown in the fight of Virginia, which is now. practically over. Hon. Claude A Swanson, member of the House of Rep resentatives from the Fifth Congressional District, declared himself candidate for the democratic nomination. ShortS Sss- terward came the announcement that Hon. A. J. Montague. the present attor- ney-general of the state, would also be candidate. These were the two leading candidates, and it was recognized from the first that the fight would be virtually between them. MT. Swanson has served in congress for several terms. He has been for years closely identified with the political machine in Virginia, and was generally recognized as the machine can didate. He is an able speaker and law yer, and has made a fine record in con- gress. Attorneys Montague, who comes from the same congressional dis trict with MT. Swanson. and who has held also the position of United States District Attorney in this state is also an able law yer and eloquent speaker. MT. Swanson declared from the beginning that he had the support of the political machine in Virginia, and banked heavily upon the fact that United States Senator Thomas

belief In the minds of leading Virginians that the criminal and other expenses of Virginia were far in excess of what they should be, and that a reform In the tax system, the election of state officers. the number of office-holders, and other import ant matters, was keenly needed. It was a notable fact that many of the leading members of the May conference also took conspicuous part In the movement for constitutional convention. The two move ments seemed to go closely hand In hand, so that it is now matter of wide com ment that large majority of the leaders of the May Conference were elected by heavy maJor,ties as members of the con stitutional convention, though opposed in many instances by sympathiZers of ma chine methods, and by those who were un- derstood to be identified with the political ring. The sentiment finally became so strong for constitutional convention that leading members of the machine held conference In Washington some time be- fore the Democratic Convention held in Norfolk last summer and discussed the question of how they could have the con- stitutional convention movement received knockout blow in the gubernatorial convention. The constitutional conven- ton had been indorsed by the legislature with the provision that the work of the convention be submitted to a vote of the people for ratification or rejection Sev- eral leading Democrats were advised by some Of the leaders of the machine tha: if the constitutional movement wns in- dorsed by the gubernatorial convention it would play havoc with the streneth of the Democratic party in Virginia and would result in throwing her electorial vote into the Republican column. This did not dis courage those in favor of the reform movement. Some of the leaders in the party went so far as to say that they would work for the constitutional conven- ton movement even if it did result in the changing of Virginia's vote in national elections from Democratic to Republican. They argued that reform was badly need ed; that the citizens of Virginia were be- ing oppressed by excessive taxation; that the affairs of the state were being run by a clique of office-holders in the interest of themselves and that they would Support the constitutional convention at all haz- ards. The result was that the movement was indorsed by the gubernatorial conven- ton. and the. body Is now busily engaged In an arduous task which will probably include reform in the judiciary and exc cutive of the state, an improvement in the tax system, and changes in the suffrage and assessment and distribution of the public school funds. The convention is regarded upon the whole as about the strongest which could have been elected from this state. It is made up of many of the wisest, abest and most patriotic cit izens of Virginia. Among the leaders are practical business men, bankers, finan- ceers and leading lawyers and jurists of the Commonwealth. The constitutional convention was great victory for the people at large over the office holders syndicate, which has for years controlled the affairs of Virginia
