( THE EMTEaiNG WEDGE.

Mr. NJ. "A. Crenshaw's gallant fight Tor
n liquor license determined on hard aud
cold business basis ended Monday night
IN what the liquor dealers generally re-
rarded as u victory, but was it? To be.
sure, Mr.. Crensllaw did not get the rate
for which he started. but he did get a
minimum of 500 as opposed to the old
minimum OF So.
AS the appor,ionnent of the license is
TO be left in the hands OF the Finance
Committee a wise and fair administration
Of that part of the ordinance is insured.
On the whole the first skirmish showed
that the public sentiment of Richmond
could and did make itself felt In favor
OF new and higher rate for liqour
licenses.
MIR. Crenshaw's statistics have had a
vital bearing on this subject. and have
awakened great public Interest Mr..
pollock'e smile TO the contrary. notwith-
standing. What other cities have done
towards increasing municipal revenue
and decreasing crime and the cost of
police protection by raising the rate Of
liquor license Richmond can do. it will
not be quickly or easily accomplished.
nut such earnest agitation az that on.
the part of the Citizens Union and aIr..
tCrenshaw cannot fail to ultimately bring
about q license tax upon the liquor bust
ness that will commend itself to the.
fairness and good sense of the whole
community.
The Times does not think that the
uouor license tax as fixed by the Council
10 high enough. Some OF the saloons are
responsible directly or indirectly. for
much OF the petty crime IN the comlnu-
nifty. and. therefore. the criminal cX-
penses OF the city arc Increased by rea-
son OF the retail liquor traffic. Some of.
the saloons are veritable storm centers,
the rallying places for bad and rowdy
characters. and they are an expense to
tho city without being useful. They
shoulc be taxed heavily.
But they should not be taxed unjustly
or unfairly. AS we said in Sundays
paper:
The liquor business is under present.
conditions legitimate business, seeing
s that under certain restrictions II Is per-
! United by law to be carried on. That
being the case. the authorities must be
! reasonable and just in dealing with those
engaged IN the LIQUOR traffic The tax
should be high for The reason already
stated. and the minimum rate should be
high But 1t is out OF all reason to say
that all the saloons should pay the same
tax
The Council seems to have taken the
y same view. The proposal to make a
..aat.. rate to apply to all saloons alike
was rejected. the minimum rate being
fixed at 500 and the maximum rate at
$3.50. We do moi think that this rate is
high enough for any of The saloons. but
the principle is equitable. The rate will
doubtless be raised hereafter.

THE RACE QUESTION IN NEW
ENGLAND

z S1CfnlNO.
The New York Sun prints remarka bic
story from Wellesley, Mass, to the effect
that Booker Washing daughter failed
TO pass her examinations for her second
year, and is now a student at Bradford
Academy.
But that is not the remarkable part OF
the story, as many young women have
failed on their examinations. The cor
respondent says:
The faculty al Wellesley will have Moth
ing to say about the matter beyond tie
mere fact tina, Miss Washington was not
proficient in Ter music, but among the
girls other opinions are expressed plentt-
fully Despite great deal of talk TO the
effect that Miss Washington was well
coined heartily by her co-students and
made much OF. the fact is that the college
was divided into factions over her. South
crn girls. of whom there are good many
at Wellesley, absolutely refused to asso-E
ciate with her, and these were upheld by
many others. A good many Nofti!eln5
girls. however. took up Miss Washing
ton, invited her to all their socials, called
on her, and were friendly with her in
every way
The fe.ling about Miss Washington
soon developed a hostile feeling between
rer supporters and her non-supporters
and unplea santneSs Was the result. The
question of the young girls pers
entered little into this little race war. As
far as that was concerned she was found

way. and quite transformations.
Miss Washington proved to be- a thorn
in the flesh to THE faculty on account of
the newspaper notosiety which she
gained Articles signed by her and in
= {t,.as f1,rrra
did not meet with the approval OF her
teachers.
We reproduce this story with some re-
luctance, for we would not willingly hurt
any woman.s feelings. But it is an incl
dent SO significant that it is worthy Of
more than passing notice Moreover.
there is a lesson in it for the people Of
New England. The preteSt that this STU
dent was turned away because she was
not proficient in her music" is too 1iimsy
to stand, for the colCred people are all
born musicians. The real reason is no
doubt given by the Suns correspondent.
The two races cannot be mixed. because
the Lord God in His infinite wisdom put
a great gulf between them. Here was a
refined. cultivated colored girl. Of coed
appearance and transformations. The cor
respondent says that her personality did
not enter into the question. But she Is
colored, and for that reason her pres
ence was Objectionable and she split the
student body into two factions.
The race question seems very simple
TO the Northern people when they deal
with it from afar. It is quite another
matter VIXEN they lave to deal with it
at home. That is the difference with a
theory and a condition.
