based on the fact that during the past
thirty years In which I have been
identified with the steel and iron busi-

constant increase almost year by year,

in mind that the more steel there Is
in use the more there is required.
It takes 100000 tons OF rails each
year to replace the wornout rails. In

normal growth Of the country requires

many days that we have noted the
shooting of an officer by a negro in
resisting arrest. The two cases pre-
viously cited were in Northern terri
tory, which shows that the lawless
negro is no respecter of sections.
Wherever he is found he Is the same,
and wherever he Is found Is a menace.
During the present week five officers
of the law, While in the discharge of
their duty, have been killed by black
desperadoes. 1t is a terrible record
and reminds us that the negro problem
is far from solution. What are we to
do with race of men, many OF whom
have regard neither for the majesty
OF the law nor the sanctity Of woman
hood, but prowl around like so many
wild beasts, ready to shoot officers or
outrage women, wherever occasion
offers?
The adults are past redemption. All
that we can do is to keep watch on
them and guard against them as best
we may, and put them out Of the way
often as they offend. The only hope
for an improved condition is in the
children. They must be educated in
the school of obedience and morality,
or the race will go from bad to worse
and finally become intolerable.

one Of It's purposes is to endcavor to

The association can accomplish more
In tho direction indicated by working
reforms among It's own members than

ers of automobiles are themselves re-
sponslble for the popular prejudice
against their machines" and the strict
regulations of law governing them.
Some are careful and consderate, but
Others go dashing ahead with no
thought either for the safety or COM
fort of those whom they pass, on
crowded street or country road.
They abuse their privileges. and II
they are not more careful. the regula-
lions OF law will grow more stringent
instead of relaxing, and the penalties
Of the law will be more severe.
It has been said time and again that
the railroad magnates have brought
trouble upon their own heads. Auto
mobile magnates may well profit by
their sad experience.

RIVER TONNAGE.

| If the question of present tonnage
had been taken into consideration as
the prime and moving factor in the
earlier days of the United States 1t i.
exceedingly improbable that capita,
would have been induced to invest In
the construction of railways. But the
builders of railways looked to the coun.

rails to Its possibilities of mine. OF
held, or forest and of climate, and pro-
cured their charter. subscribed their
| capital stock, overcame engineering
difficulties, and constructed their lines
through territory which then was n
wilderness, but to-day is tecming with
commercial and industrial lifc
There was no tonnage across the AL
leghanies, save in the Conestoga
wagon, when the first railway was
projected in Pennsylvania. There was
no tonnage on the plains, save the ton
mage that was carried in the prairie
schooner. when the project OF a great
transcontinental line was suggested as
possibility, and like conditions existed
when the Baltimore and Ohio, the Erie,
the New. York Central, the Georgia Mid
land, the illinois Central, and the
other great arteries were projected.
But trade and commerce, mining and
agriculture. tho church, the school
house, the newspaper and an intelli-
gent and pushing citizenship followed
the construction of the railway-a1id
vast tonnage also followed in its wake.
To-day the tonnage OF the country is
so enormous in it's proportions, and in
creasing at rates that stagger belief,
that the magnates of the trunk systems
frankly admit their inability to handle
the freight offered to them for trans
portation.
That excess of freight must find a
highway at once continuous, safe, eff
cient and reliable-and that highway
can be found only in the waterway,
with the test of merit being in It's
duately improved not in its capability
to bear tonnage in its unimproved con-
ditions nor in the fact that being
unmproved, the tonnage Is light. Ton
mage follows the highways of trade
and commerce. The history of every
improved waterway demonstrates the
fact. If existing tonnage had been the
test in the early days. no railways
would have been constructed. But the
railways were constructed, and ton
mage has followed SO enormously that
the one solution of the question to-
day is admittedly to be found only in
the improved waterway and harbor.
This article was prepared for The
Times-Dispatch by an outsider. but
we chcerfully give 1t space in the edi-
torial columns as a concise expression
Of our own view. 1t is most important
to the commerce of the country to
keep the waterways in navigable condi-
ton, and few cities are more interested
in the subject than Richmond James

SHALL HEcHLER DE INDICATED.

SHALL HECHLER DE INDICATED
Mr.. II. G. Hechler, former treasurer
of Henrico county, is asking tho voters
for vindication. The Times-Dispatch
is quite willing that he should have
it, but not at the expense of good and
efficient government in Henrico. The
people of the county have had quite
enough of shortages and Irregularities
in the trcasurer's office without elect
ing to that Office a man who was but
recently removed by Judge Scott for
malfeasance.
When ex-Treasurer Brauer went out
of office his accounts We're found to
be in a muddled condition and he had
to make good balance due the coun-
accounts w1te found to be in even a
worse condition, and there was con-
siderable shortage, a part of which. we
are informed, has not yet been paid
to the county.
Mr.. Hechler was appointed by Judge
Scott on March 10. 1906, to succeed Mr..
Todd, and when his accounts We're ex-
amined in October following, another
ing of Irregularities which caused great
confusion, we learn, in the county's
financial system. In his order of re-
moval, Judge Scott said: when call

that he had used the money for his

this, and would that could see my

he was appointed treasurer by this
court, it was not then known that Todd

inasmuch as respondent was its APP
pointee, and was deputy in the office
of Todd, as soon as the shortage of
Todd was known, called it to the at
tention of the grand jury and had a
thorough examination into the affairs
OF the treasurer's office, and in its
charge to the said jury told them that
they must investigate the acts of dep
reached, and that the use Of public
funds by a treasurer for his private
purposes was malfeasance in Office Gas
provided by section S21)."
1t was not charged that Mr.. Hechler
was guilty of criminal intent and The
Times-Dispatch does not so charge or
believe, and the shortage IN his ac-
counts was made good. But the fact
remains that in spite of the misconduct

Ter was well aware; in spite of the
