Confidence AS An Asset.

beyond any question:" says q tlnan-
cial writer. 1.-THE one matter that Is
now productive OF pesslmsm In keeping
people out OF the stock market more than
anything else is the Equitable scandal"
Public confidence Is at the base of all
prosperity. When confidence Ia thorough
ly established. those who have money are
disposed 10 invest 1t literally. and trade
goes on brlskly. but when confidence Is
lacking men are disposed to keep their
money in their pockets, and trade nee
essarily !anguishes. Those who have
money to invest are naturally asking
themselves ii 1t is safe to invest 1t In
any sort OF securities now that 1t de-
ye!ops that the Equitable Insurance So
clety was managed In such loose and
questionable manner. II life insurance
premiums are not regarded In financial
circles as Il sacred trust, what Is held
saered IN financial circles?
We are not disposed 10 be pessimistic

We Print the News.

Every now and then some more or less
esteemed contemporary In Virginia COM
plains that The Times Dispatch is unfair
to this or that candidate. Sometimes we
arc accused OF boosting Montague and
sometimes we are accused Of boosting
Martin. During Governor Montagues III
ness some OF his friends complained bit
tcrly that were giving Senator Martin
m unfair advantage in printing extern
sivc reports Of his speeches here and
there, ana ono newspaper went so far
as to say that The Tines-Dispatch was
a party to some sort OF a corporation
scheme to defeat Montague.
Again we have been accused OF being
III league with the Prohibltionists to elect
Judge Mann, simply because we insisted
that Judge Mann was entitled to enter
the primary and to every consideration
extended to any other Democratic candi-
date. Yet, strangely enough; one Of
Judge Manns friends recently complain
ed in q private letter that we had boy
cottcd" him. Sometimes wo are accused
of saying things too much in Willard's
behalf and sometimes 1t is complained
that we have given the whole paper to
Swanson.
And 30 it goes. Isn't 1t funny7 The
simple fact is, Tho Tmes-Dispatch Is q
newspaper and wo deal with the news
according to its Importance, If there
Is n big political meeting anywhere, we
report It prominently in our columns.
if we can get good report, no matter
who happens to be the speaker. We
are dealing with the campaign entirely
from that point OF View. We have not
made the absurd attempt to give to each
and every meeting exactly the Same space
| Our endeavor has been to deal with each
| meeting according to it's Importance rs a
| news ITEM although sometimes In the
| been able to get as full reports as we
should have desired. There are cores
| pondents and correspondents: there
| are places and places; some correspond
ents are moro enterprising than others
| some places arc more accessible than
others. and the reports vary accordingly
but we are endeavoring to print the news
OF the campaign as fully and as Impair
TALLY as possible, absolutely without re-
| spect to persons. Our readers may fee
perfectly sure that tho news department
| has no favorites. There could be nc
better proof of the fairness Of our re.
ports than that some of the friends OF
every candidate think that We have beer
too generous to the other fellow.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1905-06-08

On the contrary. we believe that the
exposure Of the lnisdo!ngs OF tile Edut-
tables managers Will have good eff
feet, eventually. 1t has already had
the effect OF making corporation mana
gers more careful and the influence
will abide, but for the time being the
disclosure is having bad effect upon
the whole country, and as the world
goes, the innocent frequently have to
bear the iniqultles Of tho guilty. We
frequently say that there Is no senti-
ment In business, and In one sense that
is true but 1t is none the less true
that there can be no permanent pros
perity which does not rest upon sound
morality.

! It will be seem" said Mr.. A. Caperton
| Braxton, to our correspondent, that no
single train runs more than about sixty
| miles over this route. which practically
| dominates the passenger traffic OF the
Valley. Persons living between Har-
risonburg and strasburg find 1t very
much more convenient to trade directly
| with Washington or Baltimore. and the
same IS true Of all persons living north
| Of Strasburg. Thus the Valley north OF
| 1Inrrisonburg Is rendered inaccessible to
| Staunton, Richmond or any other cities
| Of the state, and people living IN that
| part of the Valley are practically COM
PEELED to 90 to West Virginia, Mary
| land or the District of Columbia, or to
all three, III ordc rto get TO the capital
of their own State, instead Of taking
the route which the topography OF the
country naturally indicates, that is, Via
staunton and the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad"
This Is a day Of railroad consolidation,
and the railroad men themselves Insist
that such consolidation Is necessary to
good service and tho public interest.
we have two railroads III the Valley,
but they are cut up into the short lines
and tho schedules are SO arranged as
to cut the people of from their own
State and compel them whether or not
to trade with Northern cities. A rem-
edy can be found, and It must be found,
and the people Of Richmond and the
people of the Valley should heartily CO.
operate to that end.
Richmond is the capital of Virginia
and Is located near the centre OF the
state. It is naturally and logically the
rallyng place Of the people from all
sections, and in the interest Of har-
monious and united people all roads
Should lead to Richmond. This is not
merely matter of trade, but the trade
feature Is important. 1t Is suicidal poll
cy for citizens OF Virginia to trade with
outside communities and help to build up
the cities Of the North when they could
spend their money Just as advantageous
ly In Virginia and help to build up their
). own State. But that Is not the most I'M
portant feature. We should not have sec
tional divisions,in Virginia, and our peo-
pie should not form association with out
side communities to the exclusion OF the
people Of their own State. We say this
in no spirit of clanishness, but 1t is desir-
able and important that the people OF
Virginia from all sections should be
hound +opather by the closest ties and
that their relationship should be as inti-
mate and cordial as possible. We have
no disposition to deal harshly with the
railroads, but the railroads Of Virginia
must be made to serve the interests Of
the Virginia, public. and they must SO
arrange their schedules as to give to
the people Of the State from all sections
the means most convenient Of personal
and commercial intercourse.

Richmond and the Valley.

1t Is manifest from the interesting
letters of our staff correspondent, Mr..
Allen Potts. that the people OF the VAL
ley are anxious for better facilities of
communication With Richmond, and the
people of Richmond should exert them
selves to get better railroad connection
with that most desirable section. Tho
Valley Of Virginia is one of the richest
sections Of the State, and the people
thereof are among the very best OF tho
Virginia people. They are noted for
their intelligence, for their thrift. for
their patriotism, for their enterprise.
and II is too bad that for the lack OF
railroad communication, they should be
compelled, in spite OF themselves, to
deal with the cities OF the North. rather
than with the cities Of Virginia. AS
It 's they are cut off from the rest of
the State ana are not as completely
Identified ag they should be with their
fellow ctlzanE in other sections.
At one time the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad operated a continuous line from
Lexington to Harper's Ferry, but u few
years ago the Southern took over a
link of forty or fifty miles from Stras,
burg TO Harrisonburg. and now oper-
ates 1t on It's own account As re-
suit, the Valley Railroad operates II
short line from Lexington to. HarrIson-
burg, about sixty miles while the
Southern operates another link from IIar
rlsonburg TO strasburg. about fifty niles
and the Baltimore ana Ohio operate!
another link from strashurg 10 Harper;
Ferry, about forty or ilfty miles. Thus

After all tho talk about the concerted
effort Of Southern farmers to reduce the
cotton SO twenty-five per cent, and
the talk was kept up all the winter 1t
Is ascertained that there was not the
necessary concert Of action, and there
has been little, II any, reduction of acre
ago. The highest estimate Of actual re-
6uction is 1874, and that comes from the
Southern Cotton Association. which Is
doubtless somewhat biased. Next came
the New York Commercial, with 1872
per cent. reduction, and this was followed
by other recognized authorities, which
brought tho figures down to eleven per
cent. Now comes the government report
which figures out 113 per cent. reduction
and average condition OF 77.2, compared
with eighty-three at this time last year.
It is not far wide Of the mark to say
that planters as q rule will never work
well in double harness. and the boil
weevil and untoward seasons are the
agencies to be most relied upon to get the
cotton crop materially reduced.

Milk for The People

The city of Raleigh has taken action
to prevent the sale in that community
of impure milk. A special committee oil
the Council was appointed to make inves-
LEGATIONS and an expert was employed TO
assist in tho work. After thorough ex-
animation u report was submitted show
ing that there was an excess Of bacteria
in the samples tested; that MANY cows
were II, bad condition and kept IN stables
that were far from clean. After this
report tho Council will doubtless take
steps to correct the evils pointed out
with a view to purifying the milk sup
ply.
This Is n subject which no city can
afford to neglect and we are grained
that the Board OF Health Of Richmond
is using diligence to save the consumers
Of this city from the dangers Of impure
milk, but, ms we recently pointed out.
there Is one serious defect In our system
Of inspection, good as it is. We should
have an expert to examine the cows from
which. the milk Is taken, with q view to
determining whether or not they are af-
fected with tuberculosis Every COW
should be regularly examined. and those
found to DO tainted with this terrible dis
ease should be forthwith destroyed
