FOR PUBLICITY.
"Such legislation (whether obtainable
now or obtainable only after a cOnst1ru-
tional amendment) should provide for
reasonable supervision, the most prom.
inent feature of which at first should
be publicity; that is, the making public
both to the governmental authorities
and to the people at large, the essentiai
facts in which the public is concerned
This would give us exact knowledge of
many points which are not only in
doubt, but the subject of fierce contro-
versy. Moreover, the mere fact of the
publication would cure some very grave
evils, for the light of day is a deterrent
to wrongdoing. It would doubtless dis
close other evils with which, for the
time being, we could devise no way to
grapple. Finally, it would disclose 9TH
ers which could be grappled with and
cured by further legislative action.

dent only can advise, and which he has
no power in himself to take. Under our
present legislative and constitutional
limitations, the national executive can
work only between narrow lines in the
field of action concerning great corpora

you, that exact and even-handed justice
will be dealt, and is being dealt, to all

The University In Luck.

The University of Virginia recent
ly won a suit III Boston by which its
annual income will be increased bv
the sum of $4,000. The Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, on Friday
handed down an opinion in the case
of William Endicott aud others
against the trustees of the University.
The suit Involved n generous appro-
priation made annually to the Uni
versity from the estate of Arthur W.
Austin, of Milton, through his daugh
ter, Mrs. Mary Austin Carroll. Mr..
Austi.. left the residue of his estate
in trust, the income of which he ap
propriated to his daughters use for
life. She set aside $4,000 for her
own use annually, and assigned the
remaining $4,000 year TO the Uni
versity f Virginia.
The assignment was opposed by
her brother, Arthur ". Austin. who
contended that under the terms Of
the will she had no right To t1rn ii e
mon.y over to the University. The
full court in It's decision ruled that
the daughter had that right. and
that the University is entitled to th..
money.

New Game Law.

At the coming session of the STATE
Legislature there will be INTRODUCED
and probaly passed bill making the
game laws in Virginia uniform, pro
hibitns the exporting of game from
the State, and imposing tax upon
nonresident huntsmen who come
here for seasons sport.
The matter is one which has been
sgitated before, but has not hitherto
been pushed to any great length.
This time, il is said, there is deter
mination on the part of those interes-
ted to bring something to pass.
Several members of the Legislature
are working on the question and
there is every likelihood that the bill
will go through. 1t is felt by all
that something should be done to
protect the game from determination
and to get the laws into some respec-
table shape. At the present time
nearly every county has different
