Appropriation for the Fair.

Alderman Dabney's resolution appro-
priating $500 for the purchase OF a
site for the State Fair must Immediately
commend itself to every thinking citizen.
If the promotion fund of the fair pro-
ject Is to be raised by subscription, as
it must be raised, it is no more than
just that the city should head the list
of contributors.
Plainly, the State Fair is no money
making scheme. 1t was not evolved with
tho expectation of personal and peculiar
gains for anybody. 1t was. on the con-
trary. organized by philosophical and
disinterested men with the sole idea OF
furtherng the interests of this city and
this State. II the fair is anything like
what we hope and expect it to be, 1t will
prove a great stimulator of business
activity. 1t will mean more dollars ana
a freer and more general circulation of
them. 1t will mean strong impetus to
the whole business system of Virginia.
and the effects of that Impetus will
center, obviously, in this city.
Whatever benefits the State Fair Will
bring-and we look to it to bring many
Richmond will be the largest reaper Of
them. That Richmond should be its
prime mover and backer is, therefore.
perfectly natural and right. But since
this is a project from which everybody
must derive advantages. 1t is neither
natural nor right that the expense of 1t
should be borne solely by the more liberal
and public spirited members of the COM
| munity. Alderman Dabney's resolution
is thus an admirable corrective 1t pro-
vidcs for a public contribution to the
State Fair, i'll which every Taxpayer in
the city bears an equitable and proper
tionate share.
The Dabney bill Is now in The hands
of the Finance Committee, who WILL we
hope. accord 1t their speedy ana cordial
| approval.

The Governors Recommendation

There are many recommendations in the
Governors message which we heartily
approve, and we hope that they will b.
Incorporated with law by the General
Assembly. The State should have a
modern and uniform system of book
keeping, and there should be expert ac-
countants 10 inspect the accounts Of
ali officials who handle public funds.
Apart from, the wise policy of such n
system the State is under several obi
cations to see that her Stewards are
faithful
Epileptics should not only be separated
from the insane patients of the hospitals,
but should be segregated in {, colony OF
their own, where they may have healthfu!
work and the sympathetic society Of
their brethren in affection. This plan
has been long advocated by Sup.
Barksdale of the Central Hospital. 1t
is in vogue in New York and other
States and has proven itself Ito be
humane and profitable.
We are also hearty in favor of rogan-
izing state Board OF Charities. SUCH
Il board would have supervising power
only, and the members wouldn't draw
no pay. But they would pay regular
visits to the hospitals, almshouses AMI
and suggestions, and recommend TO the
Legislature such reforms as might seen!
to be advisable. Several years ago when
this question was being agitated, dis
tinguished gentleman, who had given his
life TO such work, appeared before the
Legislature by Invitation and made an
instructive address. 1t would be well for
this legislature to hear him, or some
man like him on the value OF board
of charities
The arguments in favor of that sort
of investigation are Overwhelming.
we are heartily in sympathy With the
Recommendation of the Governor, that 81
highway commission be created, TO have
supervision and direction Of the work Of
road improvement In the counties, and
that the State appropriate so much
money to any county or district, cond-
toned upon a local appropriation OF like
sum or moro. That is the New York plan
and IT is sensible, for 1t furnishes the
best incentive to local enterprise.
| The Governor has shown himself to be
| friendly to the course OF popular cdu-
cation, and we agree with him that the
| time has come to increase the special
appropriation of $4,000. But would It
| not be we'll to employ the extra appro-
priation, II made Ike the proposed ROAD
fund. as an incentive to local taxation:
We put this in the form or question
but there are arguments on both sides
We agree also with the Governor. tina,

Belheld.1 Lawrence Bremen, the quarter miller,
who was a member of the Wendell Phillips
championship relay team last year, and who
entered the maroon preparatory school at the

played quarterback on the university high eleven

Barnet also had an understanding with the
association.
