Bedford Democrat: The scandal in Rich
mosd about the bribery by contractors Of
one of the Street Committee of the City
Council, in order to secure Jobs. is being
investigated with thoroughness which
will prevent, we hope, recurrence even
IF scandals. If any be guilty, punishment
will promptly follow. Richmond has
bad climate for such people. Her judges
IRE able and fearless. and among no peo-
pic is there higher standard of moral
excellence and purity
Newport News Press: Richmond has our
sympathy in her present trouble. Her
people keenly feel the disgrace OF the
grasd jury investigation into the charges
of bribery made against officials who
have had to do with the letting OF con-
tracts Newport News passed through q
similar experience with most unsatisfac-
-ory results. We sincerely hope that
Richmond will have better luck, and that
those who have been responsible for
bringing disgrace upon her will be con-
victed and made to suffer for their crimes.

A CHANGE IN THE SOUTH.

The Southern people are politicians oy
birth, and we have had politics thrust
rnon us For generations we were
section to ourselves and the SUBJECT OF
many a spirited discussion IN the mans
of Congress and in all sorts OF puo1ic
gatherings at the North. The great
question at issue between the South ana
the North finally brought on war ano'
while the question of secession was os
that arbitrament decided once ana TOT
all. and while slavery was abohsheo as
an incident of the war. other questions
of even greater importance to the Soueh
arose out Of the situation. The "hlte
men of the South found that TOR thelF
protection they must stand together IN
local and national politics and that they

contest.
In This state Of things it IS not sur
prising that politics should Nhave played
so important and conspicuous part IN
the South's affairs. It is no wonder
that our public men and our newspapers
have discussed politics all the year round
and have given SO much Of their time
and attention to the subject. Our very
integrity as a people depended upon It,
But those who read closely in this day
the newspapers Of the South will see that
a decided change has come. The negro
has been largely eliminated from South
ern politics and is no longer the terror
that he once was in our public aftalrs'
The South has been able to relax some
what and to turn her attention to other
subjects. In the Southern newspapers
to-day. while politics necessarily plays
a conspicuous part, the reader will find
many other subjects discussed, not the
least Of which are our public schools
public roads and manufacturing industries.
This means that the people are giving
their attention to schools and roads and
industries, and it is not necessary to
say that the South is making wonderful

notable and significant and is an inspira-
ton. The South is growing in politics.
because the yoke of politics has been
largely lifted from her neck She is
thus enabled to turn her attention in
other directions and she is taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity which has
finally come.

BY this he means to say that 1t is
