THE NORMAL SITE

The pc ,pls OF this city and tho-e
living adjacent 10 the city seem to
be generally pleased wish the site Sc
le''ted by she Board Of Visitors OF the
Normal School on Friday. The site
chosen, as heretofore stated, en-
braces the beautiful line Of hills ex.
sending from she Aims House on she
nth to Guests on the north aud
q level tract OF land running back
west from the hills to aprivase road
way. The land chosen for the school
Is just west OF thecorporatelim limits, in
the county Of Spotsylvaniaan and com
prises about thirty-five acres, though
is is possible that the board may de-
eide to acquire forty. These hills,
which include shat beautiful piece Of
wooded land known as Rowe's woods,
command a magnificent view OF this
city and the entire surrounding
country, and when the grounds are
laid of viii make one OF the most
beautiful sites in the State for a pub
lie institution. 1t is, weunderstand,
the idea of the board to utilize the
roadway leading from Commerce
street extended, along the foot OF
the hills, but the main approach TO
the school will be one or more broad
streets TO lead from some point on
Washington avenue straight over to
the grounds, these streets to be mac
adamized- II this plan is carried
out Is will mean the eventual drain
ing OF the marsh between the avenue
and these hills and the building mp OF
the property from Washington ave-
nue. TO Rowe's woods, this property,
or most OF Is, lying in the city limits.
After paying for the site she board
will have s3S, 900, which includes the
$4,000 pledged by the city OF Fred
ericksburg, with which to start work
this spring or summer, and il is the
plan to secure at least SIS 600 aud
IL possible 100000 additional from
the next General Assembly with
which TO complete grounds and
buildings Our people are much en-
couraged at the prospect OF .his
work, as it will furnish employment
for several years TO all classes OF
labor, including carpenters, mechan-
les and general laborers. The Super
intendent Of Public Instruction says
he hopes to see this school one OF the
largest public institutions in vir-
ginia, and the president OF the
school, Mr.. Russell, is confident that
In a year or so It will have an At
tendance OF five or six hundred girls.
IL is calculated that It will draw from
the entire eastern and northeastern
section OF Virginia.

KEEPING THE CENSUS OFFICE
OUT OF POLITICS.

1t begins TO look as If the Census
Office for once were 10 be kept out Of
politics. Some time ago the President
gave it ont that he would expect the
census supervisors to keep aloof from
politics He made it clear that they
could not act as chairmen of political
committees. The disposition when the
attitude of the President on this mat
ter was made known was to smile in
diligently Many wise folks said they
had heard something OF that kind be-
fore, and were not prepared 10 take it
too seriously.
But now it happens that two super
visors have been dismissed already.
One Republican and one Democrat have
had TO go because they did not abide
by the restrictions imposed on political
activity. limitations are given that
more may follow in their footsteps.
This is calculated TO surprise and
grieve "a lot of gentlemen who have al
ways looked on the taking of the cen
sus az period when politics was 70
thrive, regardless Of the accuracy Of
statistics. They are asking if it is
possible that the non-political idea is
really to be enforced, and they reluc-
family are forced to admit that it looks
that way.
It is too early to draw the conclu-
sion that there is to be adequate en-
fCrcemeHt Of the rule the President has
laid down. IT is certain the Admins
tration has made a good beginning, and
for this much commentator is due
But it should be added that if the stand
ard that has been set is to be lived up
to, it viii require eternal vigilance on
the part of the Director of the Census.
Members Of Congress have so long
looked on the taking of the census as
one of their political opportunities that
they are not going TO be thwarted be
cause Of a few dismissals at this stage
Of the proceedings.

SELF-MADE MAGNATES FOR
HARRIMAN'S PLACE,

Self-made captains of industry are
bound to succeed the self-made Har-
riman
Judge Lovett, who takes Harriman's
place as executive chief of the Union
Pacific road, is the son Of a Texas
farmer. Thirty years ago Mr.. Lovett
was freight clerk in the employ of
the Houston East and West Texas rail
road. He has been climbing hard and
fast, and he is not done yet.
President Loree. of the Delaware and
Lackawanna, who is spoken of as being
likely to fill Harriman's shoes as presi-
dent of the Union Pacific, was a raw
recruit in the engineer corps of the
Pennsylvania road only a little more
than thirty years ago. But he, too, has
been a climber. Rung by rung he has
mounted to his present prominence,
whence, it may be, he viii be called to
still greater power and prominence.
If the Union Pacific directors decide
to keep the presidency within Union
Pacific lines, We are told, they will
probably choose Julius Kruttschnitt,
director of maintenance and operation
of the Hartman lines, but even in
this case they can't help selecting a
typical product of American oppor-
tunities, a typical self-made man, who
started modestly as an engineer in
charge of construction work down on
Morgan's Louisiana and Texas road,
and kept climbing higher and higher.
They all climb, these big men who
are making history. They climb while
Others stop and wonder how they
do it.

possibilities of the South American
field, and has long been pouring into it.
With the investment of European
capital there has come increase in
trade. The United States is getting
into the game late, and win have TO
play its cards well if it gets It's due
share of the business which is certain
to develop.
1t is estimated byl the Bureau of
American Republics that billion dol
lars Of American capital is invested in
Latin-America, but of this 100000, 900
is in Mexico and Sl35OOO.OOO in Cuba.
The countries south of the Caribbean
harbor little American money. although
investments are increasing. Secretary
Knox is impressed with the idea that
if American investments are increased
there, olir trade with those countries
will expand. He has had this. among
other things, in mind in creating the
new division.
Quite in contrast with the American
policy in the past, British capital has
poured into Latin-America, especially
South America. More taan two billion
dollars of it is invested there. German
investments, too, are heavy, and the
Germans are trying by every means
to increase their trade.
1t is high time for the United States
to be up and doing, and Mr.. Knox is
on the right track.
