Baths for the Masses.

While tho Civic Improvement League
of Richmond is mapping out its pro-
grnmme and getting ready for work, we
hope that tho management will not over
look the fact that Richmond is In great
need of public baths We ought by all
means to have convenient bathing places
for tho masses, and especially clean and
healthful swimming places for the young.
Such conveniences have become estab-
lished institutions in the cities Of the
North, and there is no sufficient reason
why Richmond should not follow tho
good example. With a river skirting tho
city from west to east, the means are at
hand and ample, and the Civic Improve
ment League should not allow the season
to pass without taking definite steps in
this direction.

Senator Ouay's Death.

Matthew Stanley Quay, United States
Senator in Congress from the State OF
Pennsylvania, whose death Is announced
elsewhere, was one Of the most accom-
plished and influential politicians that
this country has produced. Mr.. Quay
was more than seventy years of age, but
up to short time ago he was vigorous
in body and mind and was still power
in national politics. He began his Dolit-
ical career In 1861, when he became mil
;tary secretary to the Governor of Penn
sylvania. From that time on he was al
most continuously in office, being mem
Der from time to time of the Legislatu
secretary Of the Commonwealth, recorder
of the city Of Philadelphia. and was
finally elected In 1857 to the United states
Senate. He was reelected in 1888 but in
in 1899 was defeated by deadlock exist
ing throughout %lie session Of the Legis-
lature.. but was appointed senator by the
Governor Of Pennsylvania to fill the va
cancy caused by the failure Of the Leg
!siature to elect. The appointment was
not recognized by the Senate, however,
and on the day OF his rejection he was
nominated BY the Republican State con-
vention to succeed himself, and was re-
elected in 1901.
He was several times elected chairman
of the Republican party of Pennsylvania,
and In 1855 chairman of the National Com
mittee, and conducted the campaign
which resulted in the election Of Presl-
dent Harrison.
Long ago he adopted for his political
motto, Don't talk" and he has many
!mitators. 1t was not n very manly motto
for a public man to take as his rule OF
conduct, but it doubtless served Mr..
quay well, for he was successful In pol
tiles and was a political force to the last.

Negro Education.

we publish third letter to-day from
correspondent on the education of the
negro. Our correspondent relterates his
belief that the literary education which
has been supplied the negro since the
war has been an entire mistake, and
an utter failure.
We cannot say what the negro would
have done without education, nor do we
believe that the education given him
has been the best possible, but we do
believe that 1t was the best that could
be given him under the circumstances
and with the resources at our disposal.
We thoroughly agree that the negro

tory of the world and the instincts Of
humanity lead US irresistibly 10 the con-
clusion that no workman is better for
being ignorant and no man is more valu-
able for being denied the opportunity OF

The Leper Healed.

There is much ado In medical circles
over the alleged healing of leper in tho
city of New Orleans, and one correspon-
dent goes so far as to say that it is tho

tho lcprosy departed from him, and he

Senator Martin and the Primary.

Senator Martin states positively to
representative of tho Washington Post
that he desires to see tho primary plan
continued and perfected. and that If any
friend of his Is antagonlzing or contem-
palting antagonizing 1t when the con-
vent!on meets. he has not been advised
of 1t.
1t Is good to have this assurance once
moro from Senator Martin. although
when hefrecently came out In such posi-
tive terms In behalf of the primary The
Times Dispatch took him at his word,
and did not need further assurance.
The senator thinks that there is no
opposition In Virginia to the primary
plan except in the Imagination of GER
tain Richmond newspaper men. In this
he Is mistaken. There Is opposition to
the plan, as was manifested In the re-
cent election in Richmond: but the oppo-
nents arc not as bold and outspoken as
they were or as they would have been,
II certain newspaper men In
had not long ago started
against them.
