THE NEWS-LEADER AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

The Richmond NewS-Leader edito-
rally expresses the opinion that the
state does too much for the OniycI-
sitv of Virginia and not enough for
the Y. T.. /. and other institutions.
We BEG to rcspectfully disagree. The
State. comparatively speaking, has
done very little for the CniverSity.as
i, evidenced 10y the fact that 1t has
ben necessary To charge State
students as well rs non-residents a
matriculation fee OF $40 each year
The general public is Well aware that
the University authorities would
never have laid this tax had 1t been
possible to avoid doing SO. While
fully realizing the great work the v.
P.I. the Y. VI. |. and other institu-
tions are doing. We affirm without
fear of contradiction that the NJ
versity of Virginia is doing "a greater
work than any of them. II Is M
f1ct rs well rs i'm name the capstone
oi the public school system OF tins
State. 1t has done faithfully and
we'll the work mapped out for it 10y
its greater founder. Thomas Jetter-
son, and ifin any particular 1t has
failed TO do so the cause may be-
ascribed to lack OF funds. We do
not approve OF such articles as that
appearing in the News-Leader be
cause they are calculated 20 uniustly
prejudice the general public and
especially the poorer classes against
the State University. and Yet the
poor boy at that great school has
an equal chance with the rich one.
We do not want 10 see any discrlml-
nation in favor Of the lniyersity.but
so far there has been none. The
several schools and colleges have
been provided for in proportion TO
their usefulness. Ratherthan cut of
the further appropriations fer the
University. let the Legislature be as
liberal in the future as the States
revenues will warrant to the end
that the advantages now offered
State students may be increased m-
til the grand educational opportu-
mites OF this splendid institution OF
learning are placed in reach OF every
young man in Virginia.

ADMINISTRATIONS FACING
DEFEAT.

The reaction against the policies
of President Roosevelt has set in. and
the Senate has already killed two OF
the administrations pet measure.
viz: The Philippine tariff bill, and
the Joint statehood measure. The
cause may be summed up in a few
words. The Republican Senators, or
at least the more prominent ones, are
tired of playing second fiddle to a
chief executive who seems deter
mined to ride rough-shOd over both
House and Senate. That the Presi-
dent has gone too far in his policy
of rule or ruin is evident from the
position he now finds himself in.
Two of his measures are lost beyond
redemption, and the third, the rail
road rate BILL is in the hands OF Dem
ocrats, and can only be passed by
the concerted action of the minority
1t is a safe prediction that in spite OF
Mr.. ROosevelt's immense popularity
he will be further estranged from his
party by the end of his second term
than was Mr.. Cleveland when he
went out of office. We hope and
trust for the good of the country at
large that the rate bill, the last OF
the three administration measures,
will escape the fate of the other two,
but we entertain a grave doubt as
to whether this result will follow.
Rate regulation is a Democratic
policy pure and simple, and nearly
every Democratic Senator may be
expected to vote and work for the
bill. but it takes a large number OF
Republican votes to ensure its pas
sage and the question is, will they be
forthcoming? They will if Mr..
Roosevelt can effect it, but against
Mr.. Roosevelt are lined up men
whose influence in the Senate Is
almost as great as that OF the Presi-
dent himself. Aldrich, Foraker,
Spooner, Elkins. These are the
names of men who will antagonize
the bill and their names show how
formidable is the opposition.

A PUBLIC LOSS.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 The tragic death on Thanksgiving Day of President Samuel Spencer of tho Southern railway was peculiarly a public loss. He contributed to the prosperity of the section in which his later labors lay to an extent only partially indicated by the robust growth of the public thorough fare under his charge. We are beginning to appreciate the fact that railways do not devour the communities they serve, that they thrive with them or not at all. This was MT. Spencer's working theory. In the controversy which has begun rather than ended by the enactment of the latest federal railway statute no n- 1uence counted more than his for true wisdom. In one of his rare public ap- pearances he had within the month given an instance of this wisdom in his tenn perate appeal for consideration of the plight of the railroads under a continued policy of restrictive and destructive leg islation, concluding:
 Nothing will avert the public calamity of such conditions except the ultimate conservatism and sense of justice of the American people, and in that ultimate and saving conservatism still have faith.'
