GOV. SWANSON EXPLAINS
WHY he DID NOT TAKE PART
IN ATLANTA CONFERENCE.

The failure of Gov. Swanson of Virginia
to attend the meeting of governors at
Atlanta Ga, to consider a proposed
agreement on the subject of passenger
rates for southern states has attracted
some attention and comment. Gov. Swan
son was in this city yesterday and ex-
planned to some of his friends how it
happened that he was not at Atlanta
having been invited TO be there and to
take part in the conference.
The fact is, he said 4 have no more
right to attend such a conference than
any other citizen of Virginia or any other
state. Our law places matters affecting
railroad rates exclusively in the hands Of
the corporation commission, and even If
| should attend the conference l could
not take the initiative in making a rec
ommenda ton. My office of governor gives
me no more power in that respect than
any one else"
The Virginia law fixes the rate for
passengers at cents d mile, ana up
to this time nothing has occurred in that
state to indicate that the corporation
commission has changed its views upon
this subject since recommending the two
cent rate That commission consists OF
Judge r S Prentis, Henry {. Stuart and
Joseph F. Willard. The two-cent rate In
Virginia applies to the passenger trafhc
of the Chesapeake and Ohio. the Nortoik
and Western, the Southern. the Seaooard
Air Line the Atlantic Coast Line ana the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
so far as their state rates are concerned
A few short and unmportant lines are
still able to charge 2l2 and cents mile
According to the view of Gov. Swanson.
if any move is taken looking toward a rec
ommendation to the Legislature of VIZ
ginia for a modification of the two-cent
rate law il must originate with the cor
porations commission unless IT comes up
directly in the legislature itself.

GIRL THEATER USHERS-
Hammerstein to Employ Former
School Teachers at Opera House.

NEW YORK, November 2.-There are to
be women ushers In the Manhattan Opera
House this season. Last winter there was
considerable trouble with some of the men
who were EMPLOYED in this capacity and
many changes had to be made in the
corps of seat pilots before the season was
over.
Mr.. Hammerstein and his son Arthur
have studied out the cause and effect of
last years petty troubles, and they have
decided that if women ushcrs. who are
employed in many of the large opera
houses in Europe, are a success, the plan
should work in the Manhattan and it will
be tried.
Twelve young women, some of whom
have been teachers in the public schools,
have been engaged. and. beginning Mon
day night they will take charge of the
seating arrangements of the Manhattan.
The woman will be in uniform and easily
recognizable, even in a crowded aisle.

Is I'D Pensions.

The Senate has passed a pension bill
which will probably add sl5.COO,OO0 to
the annual charge on the government
for pensions. 1t authorizes a pension
on application Of SIP month TO civil
war veterans 20 years of age and over;
$50 a month to those 65 and over, and
$50 a month to those 70 years and over.
This pension business is growing, as
it should. The government never paid
dollar to a more worthy or deserving
set Of men. We haven't always felt this
way toward the old soldiers, but the
older we get the more respect we have
for the old veterans who wore the blue
or those who wore the gray. We lift our
hat to any man who is brave enough
and had the courage to lay down his
life for his country. We owe our stand
ing as a world power today to t',s serv-
ices of the men who went out and
fought for our rights. AS Senator Tel
Ter truly says: Fifteen millions,
twenty millious,or even thirty millions,
were not too much for pensions"
There ought to be a pension for ev-
cry old Confederate veteran, too. He
fought from principle and for what he
conceived was his right. He had a
right to rebel. and quoting Senator Tel
Ter, "that right was the dearest priv
ilege of the human race"
There was a heated discussion in the
Senate over the pension bill. 1t was
not angry, but tempered with good feel
ing and free from sectional bitterness.
Nothing would strengthen the chords
that bind this nation more than
recognition by the powers that be OF the
rights of the worthy old Confederate
veteran.
