GOV. swANSoN'S ADDRESS

The inaugural address ofGovernor
Claude A. Swanson, delivered Thurs
day. was one OF the best everwrltten
by a governor of this state. 1t Il
business-like throughout and shows
a determination on the part OF the
new governor TO live up to his cam
paign promises and give Virginia
what she most needs. viz. a busine SIS
Ike administration.
The address is that OF an intensely
earnest, loyal aud sincere Nlrginlan,
pointing out in a clear and conclSe
manner the wants and needs OF the
Commonwealth and pledging his
best efforts to supply these wants SO
far as it lies in the power OF the gov
ernor. There is hardly subject Of
any Importance from a financial
commercial or economic standpoint
that is not handled with cOnsum-
mate ability. On the paramount
questions OF education androads the
governor is especially earnest IN ms
augment for immediate improve
ment. and hardly less so in ms APP
peal to the Legislature to adopt
some rate legislation such as would
not conflict with the interstate com
MERGE laws. He advocates a De
partment OF Banking and Insurance,
and in doing so touches upon mat
tiers of first Importance. We COM
mend this portion of the governor ;
address tothe careful consideration
of our representatives.
Among the other matters discuss
ed are immigration, travelling IL
braries and the jamestown EXpUsi-
ton. The last named subject de-
serves, the governor says, earnest
attention. He urges an economical
expenditure of the State finances and
calls attention to the desirability OF
providing for an immediate sinking
fund. Governor Swanson closes his
speech with these eloquent words:
CAS- we ponder the perils over which
we have passed and perceive IN all We
have had the sustaining hand OF a III
vine Providence, may il make US IN tins
age of skepticism and doubt still cling to
that simple. trusting belief and faith OF
our fathers, which formed their guidance
in power and their solace in sorrow
Nav the recollections OF our former deeds
serve as a stimulus for the future Ih'
voice which speaks to US from the past,
the inspiration which springs from the
present, the possibilities which crown
the future should arouse in all Nlrglnlans
lofty aspirations and confirm the re-
solve with each of us 70 aid in every pos
sible way our glorious State along the
pathways OF progress, growth and de
velopment.'
As State paper the address OF the
new chief executive will bear com
parison with any, and its words OF
wisdom and advice will doubtless be
needed by the Legislature and the
people. We congratulate Governor
Swanson on the suspicious begin
ming OF his administration

THE GILLESPIE RESOLUTION

The people OF Virginia are perhaps
as much, if not more, interested IL
the Gillespie resolution to probe into
the alleged merger between the Penn
sylgania. C. 4 o. and n 4 W. Rail
roads than those of any, other State.
1t will be recalled that the resolution
in question was offered in the House
OF Representatives day or so since
by Mr.. Gillespie, Democratic mem
Der from Texas, and was rushed
through that body before Mr.. Dalzell
and the other Republican congress
men could muster their forces for the
fight.
Voted for solidly by the Democrats
it was passed by the aid OF thirty
seven Republicans, more loyal to
their country's interest than to the
railroad corporations. 1t has been
forwarded by the President to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for q statement of the facts. 1t has
long been believed that the control
OF the C. & 0. and the n. & W. was
absolutely vested in the Pennsyl-
vania and that the latter railroad
has so arranged matters that there
is now little or no competition be
tween these two Virginia railways.
The C. & O. and the n. 4 ". are nat
ural competitors. Runningeas and
west across the entire State they
both penetrate rich coal fields and
both haul enormous quantities OF
coal to the coast as we'll assupplyine
almost the entire State with the BIZ
luminous product. To stifie compe-
hvitlon between these Railroads.&c. has
been done by the Pennsylvania, is to
take thousands of dollars from the
pockets of the people OF this and
other States. The Northern Securities
Company tried the merger scheme,
but estate OF Minnesota broke up
the combination by an appeal to the
courts OF the land. Congress has the
power to break up this combination
between the roads mentioned in
the Gillespie resolution and the pas
slge of that resolution shows a de
termination so to do.
