are no surplus laborers even in the cities.
| At least that s the situation in Rich
| mond for Secretary Buchanan, of the
associated Charities, guarantees to find
employment for any able-bodicd man in
the city who will apply to him.
With such demand for labor In the
cities and In the country, We of Virginia
must take some means to bring work
mon from foreign lands. The situation
is quite different abroad. In England and
other European countries, thousands and
tens of thousands of men and women are
suffering for the necessarles of life and,
while willing to work, there Is no employ
has hit upon the right plan. We should
send agents abroad and have them meet
the unemployed foreigners face to face
and select those who are desirable and
willing to migrate and send them into
Virginia. Arrangements can be made for
caring for them temporarily in Richmond.
and II they are brought here 1T goes
without saying, in view of the conditions
stated, that they will not remain long
without finding abundant offers of en-
ployment. There should be no delay. The
farmers are even now making their prepa-
rations for the crop of 1905, and labor
should be brought here as soon as pos
sible.
Tho General Assembly will be called
upon to make an appropriation of $4,000
to pay the expenses of agents, and there
should be no delay in making the appro-
pria,ioa. 1t is one of the first questions
that should engage the attention of that

Chatharn's Progress.

An enthusiastic meeting of citizens was
held in the town of Chatham on Monday
night and resolution adopted, request
ing the Town Council to provide for q
bond issue not to exceed $4,000, the pro-
ceeds to be used in erecting modern pub
lie school building. Our correspondent who
gives this gratifying Information says
that there was not dissenting voice.
The people of Chatham are to be con-
graduated. Education means progress
and there could be no better evidence
OF Chathams progress than this unan-
imous demand on the part of her citizens
for the best modern school facilities.

Roosevelt "NeWs."

To feel natural interest in the dongs
of the President of the United States,
and even of the Presidents family is all
well enough. No healthy-minded person
would take exception to that. But aren't
we carrying that natural interest unnatu-
rally far? Is 1t very sensible to give
our time and attention to the most COM
n1onplaee kind of trivialities simply be-
cause they are associated with the Presi-
Dental namei If Quentin and Archie
Roosevelt, say. while walking on Penn
sylvania Avenue, should stop at a fruit
any real reason why the news of their
purchase should be telegraphed over the
country?
The Roosevelt family paid weekend
l!eve it was a pleasant visit. and hope
that it may be repeated often. On Sum
day. when the party left for the White
House, the Associated Press wired the
story of the days doings broadcast over
the land. From this story we select a
few especially Illuminating details:
"They were we'll wrapped in heavy
cloaks. and suffered no Inconvenience"
Mrs. Roosevelt took n long walk alone
through the pine woods. She wandered
farther than she intended. and was over
taken by one of the transforms which
play such havoc with the roads of Abe
marie. She was prevented by the mud
from returning by the route she had
taken" etc.
THE presidential party alighted and
walked along the train shed to a side
entrance"
Really, now, what is the justification
for news of this sort Does Mrs.
Roosevelt's miscalculation of the distance
of an afternoon stroll instantly become
front page item of Importance? Does
the mud pressed by the Rooseveltian foot
rise forthwith to the dignity of q national
issue? Or doesn't IT remain. from the
standpoint of news. precisely the same
old Albemarle clay. of the earth earthly,
that has been pressed for generations
past by rnultitudes of commoner TRIBES?
News is news. but padded foolishness
is nothing of the sort. There is a limit
beyond which even great name cannot
glorify the commonplace. To blazon to
the nation the routine details of the
Roosevelt domestic life is not merely an
impertinence to them. 1t Is also some
what boring to the rest of US
