NoRFoLil. VA, April s5.,--As the
day draws near for the opening of
jamestown Exposition. the question is
asked, How much will 1t cost to spend
n day and night in visiting the great
| faira' The answer depends largely on
how much one cares or is able to spend,
on the style in which one is accus-
| toned to live, on the taste for amuse-
ment or for art of the visitor, on tho
/ food one ents, the lodgings one re-
| quires, and the thoroughncss with
/ which one cares to inspect the various
exhibits and displays. For visitor
OF moderate means, II day and night at
the exposition, not including railway
transportation, would cost about 81
while 1t might easily be as high as $25
or more.
Say Il person landed in Norfolk be-
fore mid-day and left for home the
following afternoon, remaining thirty
hours, the minimum cost would be:
Fare from Norfolk to exposition by
street car, either 10 or 10 cents. ac-
cording to the route; by boat. %
cents; admission to grounds. so cents;
lunch at Inside Inn, so cents; drive
around the grounds. % cents: by
launch to the fleet, 80 cents; Warpath,
nothing, or as much as one cared to
spend-say. 81; dinner at Inside Inn,
81. or less at cheaper restaurants;
transportation back to Norfolk. IS
cents by boat, or 10 or 10 cents by
cars.
Cot at hotel (six or more in room.
81, or room at hotels or boarding
houses from $3.50 to $40 for tho night.
according to the lodging place selected.
Breakfast next morning, 90 cents. Fare
to grounds. 25 cents; admission to
grounds. SO cents; luncheon, so cents.
This plan of expenditure will amount
to exactly 81 il the visitor expends ST
in amusernents, $3.50 for food, and rs
cents for voyages around the grounds
and to the fleet.
Lowest Estimates.
The item of food Is about as cheap as
1t can be made. II one were to keep
down all unnecessary expenses. and simply
visit the exhibitions that are free. the
visit OF thirty hours could be made at
a minimum OF s5.25. not including rail-
way fare, or at the rate of $500 per
day. Children will be admitted to the
grounds ut -price-twenty-f cents.
The plan of expenditures has been based
on Norfolk as Il resting place. but the
same schedule would apply If the visitor
spent the night at Old Point. Newport
News. Hampton. Portsmouth or the E,x-
position Grounds.
In word. 1t will cost n Richmond man
or woman $500 day TO sec the expo
sition. plus whatever he or she cared to
expend for amusement and with a far
greater SOS tlfor lodging at any tlrst-rate
hotel. The average cost Will be in the
neisRborhood of $1,000 per day.

A Great Roast!

Over ton of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee is roasted at time, in large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in suffi-
cient demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepare
ton.
The sales of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales of all other
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very magni-
tude, reduces our cost to minimum,
and enables us, with our other advant-
ages, to give better value in Arbuckles'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else.
Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in the
world, and the best of all for

more generous and franker acknowledgment or
the duties Of public service corporations to the
state.
The Massachusetts Railroad Commission has
powers respecting securities issues similar to
those proposed in this bill. They have not been
found to work any hardship to Massachusetts,
corporations, and, indeed, are regarded as an e1-
celIent feature Of the Massachusetts, law. We
have had, moreover, for many years federal
regulation Of the number and character Of en-
ployes Of steamship companies Even petty OIL
GERS have to pass federal examinations regard
ing their competence. We have never heard that
steamship companies suffered from this policy,
or that they regarded 1t as oppressive, or that
they were forced TO employ an unreasonable
number Of men. Federal regulation of banking,
too, is extremely strict. 1t sprang from period
when banking was conducted with the utmost
freedom and was full of abuses. 1t, again, has
not proved oppressive or destructive.
Amendment OF the law will probably be found
necessary in its details rather than in its gen.
eraI principles. Mr.. Cravath In his argument
seemed to make case In point If the law will
prevent the holding company OF the traction
interests in this city from buying new securities
of its subordinate companies, issued to improve
their facilities, it will operate unfairly to the
corporation and without public advantage. The
law might easily be amended so as still to bar
the formation of new holding companies and yet
permit those already in existence 70 invest In
the new securities OF their subsidiary concerns.

MCARREN-GRADY LOGIC.

Some extraordinary logic Is contained in the
arguments made in the State Senate against the
Bingham Police bill. Senator McCarren and
Senator Grady doubtless have cogent reasons
enough for wishing to preserve what they Gu
phemistically call police autonomy" To Mr.
EcOaEFen autonomy" is as filling and blessed
q word as NesOpOtamia, the idea which II con-
notes 70 him being that OF a trespass sign against
wOul6-be intruders into his special political or
chard. The police should remain autonomous"
because autonomy" is a psychological state 20
which they have long been accustomed and is
inseparable IN their thoughts from the general
and inallenable right which they possess to life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness. Mr.. Nc
Carren believes IN an autonomous" society. He
would have no citizen intlmIdated because he
has acquired habits" which. though in conflict
with the written law, are still the badge OF a
liberal urban education. He would abolish med
clesome "sumptuary" restraints on diversions
which "Our citizens will insist on their right 10
ENJOY" He is the apostle not OF disciplinary
correction but Of moral suasion. Far be II from
him 70 approve OF harsh expedients which aim
at driving and forcing our autonomous guar
dams Of the peace ito do their duty!
In assailing the Bingham bin on Wednesday
Mr.. McCarren made the rather astonishing CON
lession that the present benevolent system OF
self-rule has proved 70 some extent a practical
failure. Il never saw so many hlghwaymen
and pickpOcZets as are in New York now" said
the Brooklyn statesman. There never was such
a situation since the city was Incorporated -
AIr. AcCarren took pains to explain that this
deplorable situation was due not so much 70
the system itself as 70 the mistaken policy of
the Commissioner" General Bingham IL an

spread to such an extent as TO require 80 per
cent Of the police force to cope with it, and the
other 80 per cent OF the force is unable to hold
in check an army Of highwaymen and pickpock-
cts il is apparent that our police system needs
a thorough reformation. POOlroom gambling Is
a menace to morals and public order hard to
exaggerate since it is an allyear-rOund school in
ilnvyrovidence and crime. 1t insidiOusly fosters
dishonesty and lures on the easily tempted. Its
extirpation is a problem which requires public
attention just as urgently as the extirpation Of
street thevery. If our police force as at present
organized is not equal to enforcing the laws
against criminals Of all sorts, we must have
new and better organization. General Bingham's
plans for reform promise an immediate and
positive improvement. They may be "cruel,"

in the police force and out Of 1t, Of the old sys
