Easy Entertainino.

One woman who does her own work
and yet likes TO entertain a good deal
has brought order out of chaos and
made the work lighter for herself by
limiting her dinner to three hot dishes.
She serves first iced cantaloupe, grape
fruit or oysters, according to the sea
son; then meat. potatoes and one yege-
table Salad and desert are prepared
beforehand. and so is the coffee. She
serves all but the three hot dishes
which. OF course. must be brought from
the kitchen-from a small serving IA.
ole at her side. which has two shelves
beneath it and an outstanding bracket
shelf for the clean and used dishes.
The coffee. in French coffeepot, stands
on one OF the brackets OF the serving
table and boiis merrny until required.

On and after April 1 she railroad
passenger rates will be advanced
rom two cents a mile to two and a
hall cents On several OF the roads in
Virginia This Is the decision Of she
Corporation Commission OF this
State after careful hearing upon
petition OF the railroads for an in

The Virginia people have enjoyed
the two cent rate, but we believe
there will be very lew who will raise
= dissenting voice against the decis-
ion so advance TO two and half
cents. The commission Is animated
by the right ideas and motives, and
IL is right when It says that I'VE need

view to take Of themstter. The rail
roads are not only entitled TO a fair
profit on actual investment, but
enough more to make the improve

Judge Mann in his opening address
OF the campaign made Thursday
night in Petersburg makes practi-
cally she same statement as TO State
wide prohibition as that heretofore
made by his opponent, Mr.. Tucker.
Both are now on record to the effect
that. IL elected Governor, they will
veto a prohibition bill passed by the
General Assembly without she ques-
tion having first been submitted to
the people at she polls.
This ground is unassailable from a
Democratic standpoint, and both
candidates occupying it practically
removes the prohibition question
from the primary campaign.

TUESDAY. MARCH 23, 1909.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal in "a
timely editorial touching on she sug-
gessed plan of certain gentlemen I'm
the State to start new daily news
paper In the city OF Richmond be-
cause the papers there now do not
meet the approval of these gentle
men, concludes it's remarks with the
suggestion that the projectors of
this scheme set apart a portion of
the capital In order TO meet the GER
tain funeral expenses of the enter
prise. This advice Is well worth
needing. We are not concerned with
the disagreements between our Rich
mond contemporaries and these gen
tlemen, but we believe that such a
scheme as they propose is probably
doomed TO be failure. Richmond
city at the present tine has three ek-
cellent newspapers, any one OF which
would do credit so much larger
city, and it is too plain for argument
that there is no room FIR another.
In fact, from monetary stand
point, Is would perhaps be better if
there were only two, a morning and
evening daily.
We may not at all times agree
with the policies OF the newspapers
OF Richmond and convictions-in
fact We often differ with then-but
We recognize their honesty OF pur-
pose and We believe in their integ-
rity. A newspaper cannot please
everybody; it can only do its bes. TO
advance the public good. but those
who see in it's columns someshing
dIspleasing will find talk OF estab-
ing opposition easier than it's actual
establishment. When another daily
newspaper is started In Richmond
We are very much of the same opin-
ion as the Index-Appeal that a sum
be set aside for mortuary purposes.
