AN UNWORTHY SUGGESTION.
A citizen of Richmond is thus quoted

A citizen of Richmond IS thus quoted
in the public print;
Despite the Constitution I believe it is
possible for a street railway or any
other kind of railway to extend the cour-
tesles hitherto extended to city officials
indirectly. For instance, so far as / can
see, there is no clause which prevents
a corporation from selling ticket or
q book of tickets to a Councilman or
any other official at a nominal price. 1t
might be five cents for 100 tickets.
Still again I believe it is possible for
a street railway company to issue book
of passes to an officials wife or brother,
and there is no law which prohibits a
wife or brother giving tickets to officials.
1t is probable that this is the way the
matter will be solved, if indeed it has
not already been solved in this way"
The law expressly says that no trans
portation company doing business in Vir-
ginia shall grant to any State, county or
municipal officer Except officers of the
CORPORATION Commission any free pass.
free transportation, or any rebate or re-
6uction in its rates charged by such COM
many to the general public for like ser
vices.
The intent Of the law IS plain. officers
are prohibited to receive any favors,
either directly or indirectly. from trans
portation companies, and in the interest
of law and order and public morals it
is to be hoped that no officer of govern
ment will try any trick of evasion. Right
or wrong. this is the law of the land and
it must be respected.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeas
strongly combats the idea of municipal
ownership of street railways and other
public Improvements. It says:
Those who rebel against what they

which they would be defenseless.

ocratic It is a confession Of weakness

VIRGINIA AT ExPosITIoNs.

We are making a serious mistake and
retarding our progress measurably by
neglecting our opportunities for adver-
Using the State at the best eypositions.
Virginia coould not spend $5uOv or even
$4,000 to better advantage than in MAX
ing Il creditable display of her historical,
intellectual. and. above all, her indus
trial features at st. Louis. This is a
reasonable proposition from both senti-
mental and practical points of view. The
exposition was conceived as a celebra-
ton of the Louisiana Purchase and the
country owes that Whole transaction tc
the political sagacity of our Thomas
Jefferson. And it was the expedition
sent out by him under the Virginians
Lewis and Clark which blazed the way
for pioneers and demonstrated to the OPP
position what a magnificent bargain Mr.,
in itself, should enlist our sentimental
interest; and there is the additional fact
that the Louisiana territory, al least,
from the Missouri river southwark is
close kin to Virginia. by reason of I'M
counted emigration from this Mother of
States which filtered across the Missis-
sippi through Kentucky and Tennessee
Virginia names are as common and
conspicuous in the States carved out Of
the Louisiana purchase, as English names
are in the Old Dominion.
On the other count, the Missourians
have managed their preliminaries so well
that the exposition cannot fail fnan-
cially. if not one person goes through the
gates The appropriations of ST. Louis,
Missouri. und the United States, and
other guarantees. insure slight surplus
over all expenses. The income from
concessionaires and visitors will return
profit This is the first phenomenon
of this St Louis exposition. Such a
beginning warrants a successful career
and famous end. Tho best OF its
tireless energy and unbeaten will is in
this demonstration Of the progress of the
West, and half the country and much
OF he rest Of the world will go theer to
see and TO marvel. Virginia. rising like
the Phoenix, must not cast dlscredit upon

With a Comment or Two.

Tt is becoming more and more notice
able that the one big employer in this
country who is never troubled by strikes
is your Uncle Sam.-Chicago Inter Ocean
But there's nothing strange about it..
Uncle Sam pays well, gives short hours
and never has any trouble to fill yacan-
cies even should they be the result Of
a strike.
Senator German, it may be remarked
doesn't appear to be saying very much
just now that is calculated to prove en-

try: President Roosevelt was right in re-
bukine New York orrespondents.-Balti-

That IS one Of the penalties for being
great. Mr.. Roosevelt should not have be-
come great until he could tolerate such
things.
The most interesting question, though,
is what effect the new franchise law will
have upon the political future OF the
State.-Clarkesville Enterprise.
The future will take care of Itself poll
iically. The all important question is what
effect will it have on the material de-
velopment OF the State?
