We congratulate our old friend, w.

VIRGINIA CITIZEN, upon his appointment
to the responsible position of chairman
of the board of fisheries. Itisn't often
that the overworked, and much abused

see that Governor Swanson has shown
an appreciation of the versatile Editor

LEGISLATIVE AFTERMATH,

The sum of S., 900 was given for sum-
mer schools, on the condition that not
less than eight such schools of at least
four weeks each shall be held in the
State each year. This is step in the
right direction. Fredericksburg will
have one, appropriating $3.50 for its
management. 1t will be sufficiently
convenient to teachers from the Nor
them Neck and Southside. After July
LIST every teacher whose certificate has
expired must have a certificate issued
by the State Board of Examiners. and
approved by the county superinten-
dent of schools for the division within
which such teacher is tobe employed.
Governor Swanson completed the
consideration of all three hundred and
two bills passed by the Legislature at
its recent session; and he failed to
affix his signature to only one. This
was bill offered in the Senate by Mr..
Sadler, Of Powhatan, making some
change in the law with reference to
the payments ofgame wardens in coun-
ties. Governor Swanson was not out
of sympathy with the objects sought in
the bill. but the language was not clear,
and therefore the objects would moi
have been accomplished. The Cover.
nor shows himself to be capable of 9
great deal of physical endurance and is
as bright and chirpy after the long
strain through which he has passed as
though he had just returned from a
long rest.
We do not see how in common Justice
there can be any complaint concerning
the work of the General Assembly,
which has just adjourned, and yet now
and then we hear some one, usually a
correspondent of a newspaper, allege
that the legislature has done nothing.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the
Virginia people are just in their yer.

not only was the late General Assembly
one of the hardest working bodies OF
its kind that ever assembled in thi:
State, but that it faithfully carried out
the pledges of ante-election speakers

that many individual members of the

hoped would be done, and it may hav.

THE PRIMARY.

The people of the city are beginning
10 express themselves as opposed TO
primary for the municipal election.
The city Democratic committee is to
meet shortly to take up the question.
1t is always the idea of the committee
to have a primary. But the cost is
great, and there is no need for pri-
mary at this time, it is contended. A
primary upsets business generally for
several days, and many of the business
men 90 not care to lose time to go to
the polls and then to have to vote on
election day. Primaries are costly,
and IT the city committee holds one the
candidates will have to pay the cost.
Why should the white people of Rich
mond GO through the farce of q pri-
mary election to nominate members of
the board of aldermen and the council?
We have FIVE or six thousand white
voters and about four hundred negroes.
lt looks rather absurd for the FIVE thou
sand to go into caucus against the four
hundred. In practical operation every
white citizen votes at the primary
regardless of his politics. 1t is not
party matter and there is no use
pretending that it is. The candidates
are put to unnecessary expense and dor
bic trouble by the form of a primary
and no good is accomplished. In for
mer times when the colored vote was
a factor the primary was necessary. =
Richmond News Leader.
The foregoing was the tenor of
the Richmond evening papers song
before the decision of the committee
last week. The morning paper
stuck out for primary. presumably
to be consistent. The people Of
Richmond could have hardly wanted
primary under the circumstances.
but the committee was made to
believe they did, and, like most politi-
cal bodies, it feared "the people,
consequently Richmouders will have
to go through the agony anu foolish
expense of another family scrap.
Like as with last August's primary,
we say let them have their fill of the
foolishness; the sooner they will be
come disgusted. That theprimary is a
dying issue, and on its last legs so to
speak. is plain to those who mix up
with the ''plain people" throughout
