The Times Dispatch is pleased that
the News Leader, of Richmond. and TIL.

bravely to the support of the proposal
to establish State board of charities.
The measure was proposed in 1901 by

Correction, and from that time until
now The Times-Dispatch has not
ceased to advocate it. Hon. r. e.
Byrd. of Winchester, who will prob
ably be the next Speaker of the House
of Delegates, will introduce bill at
the next session to Create such a
board, and with the support of leading
newspapers in the State it should pass
without serious opposition.
