FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1905,
Shall We Have a Cotton Factory?

Every now and then some one raises
the question, why does not Richmond
engage in the cotton mill industry? and
the answer invariably is, that Richmond
has tried 1t and miscrably failed. 1t is
true that a cotton mill which was started
here years ago failed. But why? Be-
cause 1t was operated with antlquated
machinery, and it would have failed else
where as surely as in Richmond. But
there is no reason why a cotton factory
in Richmond should not pay If equipped
with modern, first class machinery and
operated upon business principles. Dan
vile has made the industry pay enor-
mously, and has Just put up new fac
tory, TO contain $4,000 spindles. The
mills usually run a year behind their
orders, and our information IS that they
viii not be able to catch up even with
the new mill in full operation. Why Will
not cotton milling pay as well in Rich
mond as in Danvile?
The reply usually Is that Danville and
towns further South are ncnrcr to the
cotton fields But nearness to'the cotton
fields is not the great advantage Of South
ern mills Their success has been due III
the main to modern machinery, reliable
labor and good climate.
Richmond has the climate and the labor,
and She is in position to put UP the best
equipped mill In the United States for she
can buy the latest improved machinery,
and she may profit by the experience Of
others. She Is at some distance from
the cotton fields, but she is nearer to the
markets. She would have longer haul
than Southern towns for raw cotton, but
she would have the advantage of the
lowest water rates for the finished pro-
duct, and this advantage would more
than compensat for her remotcness from
the cotton fields.
Our special PURPOSE in bringing this
subject forward to-day Is to announce
to the cnterprising men of Richmond that
we are advised that a New England
manufacturer OF prominence is DESTROYS
of locating cotton mill in the South,
and that he can probably be induced
to come to Richmond If he can get the
right sort of cooperation here He wants
to start with capital OF $35o0O0. He Is
willing to put up slOO,Vo If the rest can be
raised in Richmond.

to hear from any citizen or citizens who

The Disease Called Graft.

God save tho nation from graft! It
seems to be the besetting sin of the age,
and, like some insidlous disease, is in
fecting men in all stations of life and in
an departments OF trade and government.
1t was graft that was the undoinE Of
Thomas and McGilvray. They were not
bad at heart, for men are to be fairly
Judged not by an act, but by the record
or their lives; and these men had, in the
main, walked uprightly and they had
walked well and usefully for humanity.
All this Is to be taken into consideration
in passing judgment upon them. Yet
for the sake of graft they traded surrep.
Atitiously and illegally with the State. and
when driven to cover deliberately and
concurrently falsified. These men, who
were part Of the public school system
of Virginia and chief apostles of the
great educational crusade. whose motto
is Education is morality" have brought
destruction upon themselves and reproach
upon the cause which they have cham
pioned and promoted, for the sake Of
graft! 1t is past understanding. It Is
distressing and humilating. If the prin-
cipal OF our High School and trusted
officer in the Department of Education
may be affected by this contagion, who is
Immune?
But let us not be misled by the figure
OF speech. Graft is not, In fact. a disease.
1t does not attack a man In spite of him
self 1t proceeds from the love Of money,
which love is said to be the root of all
evil The man who takes graft takes 1t
deliberately. and he can only plead that
he wanted the money. But the public
official takes It ut his own risk, and If
he keeps at it. sooner or later his sin
will find him out.
The warning Of the Thomas McGilvray
affair rings out as clear as a fire bell
in the night time. Let all whom it may
concern take heed. tG

While South Carolina is getting rid Of

some better plan of controlling the LIQUOR
business and while Virginia Is experts
mentng With her Mann law made for
the better management of the same busi-
ness, the City Council Of LOS Angeles,
Cal, a. city Of something over 2u0,o 600 IN

and remarkable proposition concerning
the solution of the saloon problem. From
the San Francisco Call we learn that
the Los Angeles Council Is asked to grant
to so.callcd benevolent corporation
the monopoly of the saloon business IN
that city. It will be operated on what
is known In Europe as the Gothenberg
plan. II granted the monopoly, and capt
talized at $500. 90. 1t promises to reduce
tho number Of saloons from, 200 to 75;
close all those in the residence districts
and substitute coffee clubs;' guarantee
to the city a revenue Of $1S6,o0o, a most
enticlng feature; limit It's own profits to
G per cent. on the capital actually M
vested; permit the sale only Of beer and
light wines In the saloons In the mill and
mining districts; guarantee that all pro-
fits above $4,000 year shall be OK
pended In public improvements; pledge
itself to buy the fixtures and good will
of the existing saloons at o price to be
fixed later; to adopt drastic regulations
for the operation of Its saloons.
That the larger cities Of the country
are on the lookout for some method Of
controlling more cffcctually the saloons
there can be- no doubt. The Los Angeles
plan belongs to that class OF experiments
which will be watched with interest"
