NUMEROUSLY SIGNED PETl-

Supervisors Expected to Take Action
Tuesday, and Delegates Will Hold
Special Meeting Next
Saturday

petition signed by 1000 voters of
Los Angeles county, asking for the
appointment of permanent good
roads commission, will be filed with the
county supervisors tomorrow.
Only 500 names are needed to bring
such a petition before the attention of
the county supervisors, and despite
the fact that several of the petitions
are not yet turned in the good roads
commission has 1000 names with which
to back the petition they will file Mon
day. 1t is expected that the super
visors will pass upon the petition
Tuesday.
With this in view the executive
committee of the good roads associa-
ton of Los Angeles county. which met
yesterday afternoon, will send letters
to all the delegates of the commission,
requesting their attendance at meet
ing to be held next Saturday. The
letter is as follows:
Dear Sir: You are hereby notified
that the executive committee of the
Good Roads association of Los Angeles
county is in receipt of the following
request from the board Of supervisors,
to wit:
cat a meeting of the board of su-
pervisors held this day an order was
made requesting the Good Roads as
ISOLATION of Los Angeles county to
suggest to this board the names of
seven or more citizens of the county
of Los Angeles from which to select
three highway commissioners"
Meet Saturday
And that a meeting of the association
will be held at O'Clock p. m, May
25, 1907, In the assembly hall of the
chamber of commerce of this city for
the purpose of complying with the re-
quest Of said board.
The law provides that the board of
supervisors may appoint a highway
commission IF three; and that the
qualifications of each member of that
commission shall be and have been
for two years bona fide residents and
freeholders of such county, and shall
be especially qualified to have charge
of the improvements of highways, and
said commission shall be appointed to
serve two years, or until their sue
cessors shall be appointed and quail
fed
You will note the desire of the board
of supervisors to consult with this as
sociation touching the personnel of this
commission, and note also that they
request this association to send at
least seven or perhaps more names for
them to consider. You will, therefore,
please give this matter thought and
careful thought to the end that you
may come to this meeting and intelli-
gently assist the board of supervisors
in selecting a high classed highway
commission.

The board of visitors of the Virginia
Military Institute have done well to let
the cadets understand that hazing will
not be tolerated. and that those who
engage In it Will be summarily dis
missed when caught and under no con-
ditions reinstated Hazing is brutal
and brutalizing. and should have no
place in civilized institution. There
is no possible good in 1t. 1t harms
the cadets and Injuries the institution
in character and in purse. The only
prettXt for 1t is the claim that 1t is
manly sport. But no sport can be
manly which humilates and Furnishes
an innocent victim. powcrless to de-
fcnd himself against his prosecutors.
1t is both barbarous and cowardly. and
contrary to every principle Of Virginia
chivalry. OF course, those cadets who
have engaged In it have not taken that
serious view. They have not meant to
be either brutal or cowardiy. They
have simply followed tradition to
which age has impaired certain re-
spectability. But hazing is bad through
and through, and the tradition is more
| honored in the breach. Its day in Vir-
glnia is done, and the cadets will be
| wise to accept the fact.

MORE RooM.

Several years ago the State Library
building was erected to relieve the
congestion in the Capitol building.
Since then the Capitol building has
hecn remodeled and greatly enlarged.
This work was not designed in haste,
but after mature elaboration. Yet be-
fore the new Capitol has fairly settled
on It's foundations, the public are In
formed that another building is neces-
sary to relieve the pressure.
How can these things be? Has the
States business grown so enormously
In the past year or two? Ii so, was it
not possible TO anticipate the need for
more room when the plans for the new
Capitol We're adopted? These ques.
