hove been committed. short Of actual
crime, IN a military institution. Our Lex
inston correspondent recalls that in 1899
the first class was guilty of a similar
breach, and was suspended by General
Shipp. But the board reinstated the Of
Tenders a month later. That was a bid
to other cadets to 10y their fun at the
expense of discipline. The very existence
OF n good military school Is involved In It's
discipline, and no compromise should be
made with rebellion. In all such cases
the punishment should be severe, and by
all means 1t should be sure. Suspension
is no adequate punishment, IL the lads are
to be taken back and forgiven in II few

Justice Gaynor's Plan.

Supreme Court Justice William j.
Gaynor made a significant speech in
New York City on Sunday afternoon.
Referring to the proposal of Mr.. William
J. Bryan that the government tax over
all the railroads Oh the ground that
they are private m%onopolies, n that
sue private monopolies should not be
allowed to exist, Judge Gaynor said:
'He is right about that. for we all
abhor private monopolies, but railroads
are not private m%onopol!es. They are
public highways, under control OF the

and thus put nm end TO this discrimina-
ton, which the ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Judge Gaynor's view Is the more I'M
portant because he has been prominently
mentioned as Democratic nominee fol
the presidency, and 1t appears that he
is casting about for a substitute for Mr.
Bryan's government ownership scheme
And he is quite right In saying that II

The Ttmes-Dispatch has often pointed out
that in many instances the American pub
lie show far more concern for the life
of O murderer than the murderer shows
for the life of his victim. In violation of
the law OF God and man n human being
is slain, but in the majority Of cases when
the murderer is brought to trial strenuous
effort is made by his friends to save his
life. and it would appear sometimes that
the law was made to protect rather than
to punish murderers.
These statistics make a pitiful exhibit
for American civilization. In two years
1862 homicides were committed. yet there
were only 246 legal executions. It is true
hat some of the murders committed in
1906, n possibly u few in 1905, have not
yet been brought to trial, but, in any
event. the exhibit is poor enough, and it
is worse when the destruction of life by
railroad accidents and other accidents, due
in great part to criminal negligence, are
taken into account. h quality of civili-
cation is measured In great part by the
value put upon human life by the general
public, and we canno claim to have at
tanned to the highest civilization. so long
as the death rate from homicide and acci-
dent is so enormously high as the records
now show.

Marion Crawford.
Defeat No. I.

At a meeting of tho Council last night,
the Finance Committee reported an or
dinance providing for tho erection of a
municipal electrical plant. As soon as
the ordinance was read a communication
from the Passenger and Power Company
was submitted, Offering to supply the city
with electrical power for lighting and
pumping purposes at a cost as low as the
city could manufacture 1t at Its own
plant, said cost to be ascertained by three
disinterested experts, and the contract to
run for any number of years up to ten,
with suitable bono for faithful sperform-
ance Of the same.
A motion was very properly made to
refer the ordinance and the Passenger and
Power Company's offer Jointly to the
Committees on Water, Light and Electric
ity, but before any discussion could be
had on the merits OF the offer, q substi-
tute motion to table the Passenger and
Power Company's offer prevailed. Tn
ordinance then came upon its passage,
but when It's friends discovered that they
could not poll a constitutional majority,
they had the whole subject postponed un-
til the next regular meeting.
There is but one conclusion, and hat is
that the friends of this movement want
a municipal plant whether or not. But
what do the taxpayers of Richmond
think of it? Are they willing that the
city go into debt to erect a plant of
this character and operate it when a
company with ample facilities sands
ready to enter into q contract to furnish
all necessary electrical power at precisely
what it would cost the city to make 1t?
Mould any business man hesitate a mo-
ment between the two proposals in his
own affairs?
1t matters not whether Mr.. Trafford's
figures are wrong or right: the terms
of the offer are not altered. The city has
a rare opportunity to drive a bargain
with the Passenger and Power Company,
and if the Taxpayers are alive to their own
interests they will be at pains to see
that the most is made of 1t.

Ioin the Procession.

If the News Leader had in tho past
consistently furthercd the cause of
Greater Richmond, possibly it would not
now be 30 wholly estranged from the
motives and services OF tho Chamber
of Commerce as to permit itself to adopt
the caviling and derisive attitude which
has characterized its entire dealings with
the oppositiona TO tbs. Forbes slaughter
house. Possibly" 1t would have perceived
the improperly of suggesting, even /. in
the bitterness of defeat, that it was now
incumbent upon citizens who opposed
the erection of a hog-killing establish
nlent in the heart of Richmond's bust
ness district 10 come forward with
contributions toward a cologne factory.
When the fight for Greater Richmond
was being made the News Leader stood
aloof and contented itself with saying
that half a loaf was better than no bread.
Already the folly of leaving out the tri-
angular strip between Broad Street. the
Seaboard sAir Line Railroad and the
Roseneath Road is apparent. But this
error was forced on Richmond with no
dissenting voice from our theoretically
progressive contemporary.
AS to the News Leaders proposal to
head a subscription list for the purpose
of advancing Richmond's progress, The
Tilnes-Dispatch will merely state that
it has already spent $4,000 of Its own
money during the past year in advertising
Richmond in the leading periodicals OF
America: and that, to speak more per-
sonally. members of this papers staff
have Individually contributed to the

Leaders proposal Is therefore a trifle
belated.
