The Governments Function.

Mayor Mccarthy made a strong point
In his speech at the Chamber OF Com
MERGE banquet when he said that the
function OF government was TO govern
to secure to us and to our posterlty our
"inalienable rights" namely, the enjoy
ment of life and liberty, with the means
of acquiring and possessing property ana
persuing and obtaining happiness and safe
ty; ana that the clnmor Of taxpayers for
direct material results from the taxes they
pay is mischievous and tends toward So
cialism That s the essence of Demo-
cratic doctrine and The Times-Dispatch
heartily approves and commends the sem
timent. But the mayors observation ap-
plies to national and State government
rather than to municipal government. we
do not derive our ''inalienable rights
from the municipality Of Richmond. me
corporation Of Richmond is the creature
of the state and In large part business
corporation That has been stated SO Of
ten that It has become trlte saying, but
it is true The municipality of Richmond
exists by right Of charter granted by tho
General Assembly 1t has no powers not
specifically conferred BY and In this In
strunent The charter provides for mu-
nicipal officers and prescribes and limits
their functions. The Council shall have, =
says the charter, SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS HEREIN CONTAlNDEA
the control and management of the fiscal
and municipal affairs OF the city, and of
all property, real and personal, belonging
to the said city: and may make such
ordinances. orders and bylaws relating
to the same as 1t shall deem proper and
necessary. They shall likewise have the
power 10 make such ordinances, bylaws,
orders and regulations as they may deem
desirable 10 carry out the following pow
ers. which are hereby vested in them
These powers are then enumerated. They
are to establish and maintain markets,
| gas works, waterworks and other utili-
| ties. open and pave streets, establish and
| maintain health department. a fire de-
| partment, street cleaning department
| public sewers and SO on throughout the
list.
Citizens pay taxes to pay for these utli-
ties and conveniences and Of course they
have a right to expect direct results They
have the right to expect the best water,
the best gas, the best police and fire pro-
lection, the best paved streets, the clean
est streets, the most efficient health de-
partment and all the rest that the reve-
| nucs of the city will pay for. That is
what The Times Dispatch is contendlns
| for. It's contention is made In no spirit

which animated the Tuesday night meet

THE death of Henrik 1bscn In Christ'ana
yesterday removed one of tho greatest
dramatists Of our time Many, no DOUBT
would give him even higher praise Not
few others seeing only one phase OF
his character would be disposed to deny
him any enduring fame except as con-
sum,nate master of cynicisn
But personal judgments avail little IN
the face of such perennial popularity as
some Of 1bsn's plays have attained. Inc

Ghosts" for example, Is no mere rad,
and even those who most bitterly de-
ncunce the mnterialism and hopeless out

by the very vehcmence OF their attack.
His early life was hard and unattrac-
tive For six years from the age or
sixteen, he was struggling, uncompre-
hended and morose clerk IN an
apothecary's shop. During his practical
exile from the life OF letters he brooded
much and wrote the boyish tragedy,
Catiline.
ton opened wide vista, and though
he abandoned very soon his idea of
studying profession. he hegan the puf-
suit OF letters with an ardor and capacity
that almost at once made him famous.
His skill as a playwright got him po-
stlon at the age of twenty-three as the-
ntre poet for the Bergen stage. From that
date, 1851, until his death, his grand pas
sion was the writing and production OF
dramas. and to his English and Amer
lean admirers Ibsen is known chiefly
BY his psychological and social plays,
but his great fame was achieved in
Norway, where he became the director
Of the State Theatre in Christiana, by
his saga dramas and historical plays,
the chief of which, The Pretenders,'
which is the best OF its sort Norway has
produced, was first played in 1864. In
that year Ibsen left Norway for vol
untary exile that he maintained for forty
years During his absence he resided
chiefly in Munich and Rome. It was
during this time that he wrote his studies
on social questions.
Perhaps the best known of these are
'.The Dolls House" and Ghosts"
The last play from his pen, when We
Dead Awaken" is his final protest
against the trammels of social conven-
tons, love of personal ease and fear to
meet any issue that can come

men should hold fast to bravery and self
control, and never fear the consequences

ON THE STATE:
RIFLE RANGE.
lntet sting Recommendations
Made by Lieut.. A. S. Jones
Regarding Sea Girt.
(From the NEWS correspondent.)

(ff0m the NEWS C0rreSpondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. ST.
Rif1emen throughout the United
States, and especially in New Jersey,
will be interested in the suggestions
made. by Lieut.. Albert S. Jones, of
P~assaic, secretary of the National
Rifle Association. and the right
hand man" of Gen. Bird w. Spencer,
the inspector general of rifle practice
of New Jersey. Lieut.. Jones is the
author of an interesting article en-
titled "A retrospect of the years rifle
shooting" and as a result of his long
experience and observations at Sea
Girt, he makes some interesting
recommendations. They are well
worth the attention of all rifemen,
and follow:
"First-An appropriation of not
less than 100000 annually at the
disposal OF the National Board for
the Promotion of Rifle Practice for
the building of ranges, the i%ntroduc-
ton of a course of craftsmanship in
our public institutions of learning,
the purchase of medals, etc.
"Second-A free limited issue of
rifles and ammunition to rifle clubs
organized under the rules and regu-
lations as laid down by the National
Board. Official score sheets and a
decoration for those qualifying
should be issued free.
Third-A specific appropriation to
pay the expenses of state teams, and
for the expense of teams from
schools and colleges and rifle clubs.
"Fourth-Authority given the
chief of ordinance to issue to schools,
other than agricultural colleges, the
Krag carbine, soon to be discarded by
the cavalry branch of the service, on
requisition of the National Board,
which shall control the issue of them.
The guard or lead bullet cartridge
should be issued under the same reg
ulations for use with these arms in
school work.
"Fifth-In each state an inspector,
who would visit the clubs and schools
and see that the regulations were be-
ing properly lived up to, and who
would receive the pay and allowance
equivalent to a captain in the regular
establishment when on duty. |
could recommend for this no better
men than the state secretaries of the
national rife association, as they are
men who are most c%onversant with
the rifle shooting situation in their
own state, are enthusiastic on the
and are men of high stand
ing in their community"
C. S. A.
