Women in Civic Life.

One Of the most significant features OF
the meeting OF the Virginia Cooperative
Education Commission in Norfolk was
the large attendance OF women. Many Of
them came from n distance as delegates
and took All active part In the proceed
ings. Indeed, 1t is conceded that two Of
tho very best addresses were those by two
distinguished women Of Richmond-Ntrs.
Munford and Mrs. Dashiel-and on all
sides the most complimentary mention OF
them was made. The audience, in the
day tlmo especially was largely COM
posed of women, many Of then, being
teachers, and they gave profound attcn-
ton to the addresses.
It is a hopeful sign that the women OF
Virginia arc giving their talent and time
TO this noble work. 1t means progress;
It means development and better Meth
DDS; 1t means larger appropriations, bet
ter school houses and better pay for
teachers; for, when the women of Viz
ginln resolve that thing shall be done,
1t must be done. They have no votes,
but they control the voters, and when
they issue their DEGREES tho voters obey.
The women have made up their minds
that the school system of Virginia shall
be improved in all directions, and The
men might rs we'll make up their minds
to pay the cost, for pay they must. The
women have so ordered.

Wall Street does not seem to know
whether Its tit Of s,ivers was caused by
the message Of frenzied Lawson or the
message OF President Roosevelt. There
is fearon the one hand that Lawson has
something up his sleeve for some Of the
big corporations. and on the other hand.
fear that the President, in spite OF his
fair promises to the contrary, is about
to run amuck. Our private opinion is
that the big men simply took advantage
Z of the first favorable opportunity to-
freeze out the little fellows and throw
valuable stocks on the bargain counter.
At any rate, the selling Of yesterday and
the day before was disastrous for weak
" marglned' accounts and a fine chance
for bargain hunters. Possibly some Of
our readers will recall that a little while
ago, Tho Times Dispatch, gave warning
that stocks were dangerously high, ard
that the lambs would do we'll to recall
the lesson Of 1908. The lambs have been
