Washington. September 5.-Senator
Tom Platts emphatic declaration that
the New York republican convention
will not indorse President Roosevelt
for denomination is causing a great
deal of comment here.
1t has carried JOY into tne camp OF
the democratic congressional cam

a declaration that the leaders of the
republican party are not with tresi-
dent Roosevelt on the trust question.
and that tney are ready to throw aim

to come 70 the trusts. It gives an
other proof OF the contention of the
democratic leaders that the republi
can party as a whole is in league with
the trusts. and tnat its policies are
dictated and its leaders chosen by
Wall street.
Senator Platt's declaration, when
it is followed up and made good by
the convention, which he VIII rule

In this connection an interesting
story has reached Washington

the republican senate would insist that
the only way to reach the trusts is by
means Of a constitutional amendment,
and that the democratic house of rep

to the adoption Of this method, and
thus they would go free and escape

the party promises 10 make EVERYDAY
rich; virtually subsidies the prominent
industries. and in general offers business

Next IT poses as the party of respecta-

The st. Louis EXPOSITION.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
An international exposition will be held
in st. Louis to celebrate the centennial
anniversary of the first expansion of the
nation, step which made possible the
commercial and political development
which has given the United States her
present commanding position in the worlds
affairs.
The Congress of the United States has
stamped it's approval upon this great I'M
dertaking by appropriating s5,ooo,00O, and
the city of st. Louis has appropriated the
magnificent sum of s10,00o.00O to aid in its
installation in manner commensurate
with its great mission.
In extent and variety OF interests, as
we'll as in the amount of money to be eX-
pended, it is designed on larger scale
than any preceding exposition in the
worlds history.
Tho Missouri Legislature at its last ses-
sion appropriated S1,00o,0oo for its build
ing and exhibit. The Illinois Commission
is now in the field, backed with an appro-
priation of S2500o0, which probably Will
be doubled at the next session. In Iowa
a bill appropria ting $4,000 was passed by
the LEGISLATURE. This amount proba bly, Will
he Increased. New York has made pre-
liminary appropriation Of 100000 and Mis-
sissippi. a State that never before made
an appropriation for exposition purposes,
has provided $4,000 for her participation
in this great enterprise.
The Louisiana Purchase was Jefferson
ian idea. The exposition is tribute 20
Jefferson, above all Americans. This dis
tineuished statesman was cltlzen
and son of Virginia, and a Wig
orous effort should be made that
the adjourned session of your Legls-
lature appropriate a sum sufficient to IN
sure q display commensurate with Var
einia,s vast wealth and resources.
The enterprising State OF Virginia mas
always played a prominent part in the
development of the country. and IN every
line leading to the advancement or hu-
manity. Her sons and daughters are
among the best of every State and Terri
tory in the Union, and her social, CONNER
cial and civil influences extends through
ort the whole.
We are especially anxious to have Vlr-
einia do her full duty in this matter on
account of the moral effect it will have on
thu Southern States. Laying aside all
sentiment and State pride and consider
ing it strictly in the light Of a business
proposition, a liberal appropriation by the
Legislature will be repaid many fold
within the next few years
Yours very truly,

PUSH IT TO SUCCESS.

The movement to secure for Richmond
the next annual conference of the South
ern Education Board has now been fair
ir launched and it betooves our people
TO do everything in their power to push
it to success. When the proposed work
of the board was first brought prominent
~ TO public attention the Dispatch was
Southern papers. It did not appear that
such aid as the organization might be in
strumenlal in contributing to the cause of
Southern education would be directed
through Southern channels, except in a
perfunctory way. While we recognized
the need of financial assistance for our
schools and colleges, 1t was obvious to US
that it would be grave mistake to &C
cept funds in their aid unless the man
agement, control, and direct application
thereof were intrusted to the authorities
of the beneficiary institutions. The rea-
sons for our conviction we shall not re-
peat here. There IS no necessity for SO
doing. Suffice it to say that those rea-
for at the council of the Richmond Edu-
cational Association, and others, held
Friday night. all doubt as to the boards
policy was removed. It was made clear
that it purposes working through our au-
thorized school authorities, leaving these
untrammeled by any conditions which
could prejudice acceptance of aid. This
puts the matter in an entirely different
light from that in which it first pre-
scented itself. and justifies us in heartily
endorsing the movement to have held here
the next conference of the board, which
will bring together distinguished educa-
tors from all over the country.
The sum the Richmond Association asks
for the purpose of entertaining the con-
ference should be raised without the
slightest difficulty. Indeed. 1t is not to be
questioned that it viii. be raised, II the
board accepts Richmonds invitation, and
therefore it is 10 be hoped that the edu-
Gators OF the State generally will CO.
operate With the local organization in
urging the board to become our guests.
Make the invitation so earnest, general,
cordial. and pressing that the board will
hnd it impossible to decline.

The figures of the cost of the election in
New York show that the Republicans
spent about three times as much as did
the Democrats the totals being, Republi-
cans, sS5o,000; Democrats, $4,000. Repub-
,ican authority is given for the statement
that Senator Plat rounded UP more than
$3.50, 600 from corporations, the remainder
Of the S550.000 coming from the @andi-
dates and volunteer subscriptions. It is
also stated on Republican authority that
the Republicans spent more money du-
ring the last week Of the campaign than
they did during the preceding three
weeks-that the party managers did not
intend to spend more than 100000, but
when they realized that Odell was in
danger Of defeas they simply poured out
money in the interior districts. A Demo-
cratic upstate leader is quoted as say
ing that the Republicans spent in his
county alone $1,000 whereas the Demo-
Gratis had only $1,000 TO expend The
bar'ls throughout the State were on the
side Of the Republicans. IS usual

Although the Irish question in the
House Of Commons has lately attracted
by far the greatest amount of the worlds
attention, that is not at all what most
troubles the Tory party leaders. Their
rock ahead is the school bill. eThe min
istry is PUBLICLY committed to it in such a
way that retreat Is impossible. The Bal
four ministry is botind to stand or fail
upon getting the bill through. Yet the
path is extremely perilous. The opposi-
ton on the part OF the non-conform-
ists who constitute nearly or quite one
half of the English people. is growing
more vigorous every day
1t is known now that Balfour would
never have committed his government to

Of the eighty Irish Nationalist votes In its

odious features Of the coercion act
have been received and large n,lmbrs of

THE NINTH DISTRICT.

Both Of the political parties In the Ninth
Congressional District have raised the
cry Of fraud. Judge Rhea, Democrat,
who was thought to have been beaten. now
claims his election. He alleges that his
opponents made Doodle campaign
against him and resortedy to other wrong
doings to c;rcumvent his return to the
House.
On the other hand, the Republicans ac-
cuse the Democrats Of taking advantage
of the merest trivialties to throw out pre-
cinct returns, which were favorable to
Slemp.
Undoubtedly the unofficial returns have
indicated the election of Mr.. Slemp, and
if he has received a majority of the legal
votes cast in the district We want him
to have the seat. but we do not feel called
upon to pass judgment against Judge
Rhea before all the facts are known. Let
them be carefully sifted out. And then
we hope the certificate Of election will
go to that candidate who is plainly the
choice Of the voters.
