Another Vanderbilt,

Adrich deigned to make to the charges of Senator
Brstow, when reporter called on him for statement
But Senator 1t urged, 'the newspapers, as
well as friends, think your name demands that
refte the serious charges being made against
you by Senator Bristow and others concerning your

Another "Seven- Day" Paper in Virginia.
Virginia has another seven day newspaper. Yes
terday morning the Norfolk Landmark published a
Monday edition for the first time In its history and
announced that hereafter The Landmark will appear
daily instead of daily except Monday. For the
principal morning newspapers of the North have pub
ltshed day in the week but until the Richmond
Times Dispatch tnaugurated the custom about two
years ago no Virginia paper issued Monday morning
editions
1t has been apparent that the "seven-day" paper
tween the State papers those Washington Bati-
more and other cities forced the issue. Then The
Dispatch broke the Ice and everybody knew that
meant 1t would be only short time before the Norfolk
morning papers would fall into line. Now The Land
mark has taken the step and 1T is understood that
within week The virgnian- Pilot will follow.
The larger dailiee arrange to give their read
ers the morning in the week requiring their
employees to forego day of rest In seven. Such a
thing practically impossible In the smaller offices,
therefore It Is not likely that Virginia will have more
than three Seven day papers In the immediate flu

A HOME FOR iMcoRRici6LE
GIRLS.

II is gratifying to note that the
movement looking toward the -estab-
lishment of a State home for hayward
and inoorrigible girls is receiving
hearty and substantial support in the
cities OF Virginia Such an institu-
ton should have been established
many years ago. The police authors
ties are seriously handicapped In
their work by having no place in
which to confine girls OF tender years
whom they are obliged to take into
custody. and very frequently they are
confronted with difficult problems. II
young girl is arrested for any Of
fence, one OF two things must be done
with her. She must be allowed to go
free, or be sent to Jail. Ii is bad
enough to send boy to jail; 1t is
worse to put a girl there. The Jail
is no place for girl OF tender years,
no matter how incorrigible she may
be or what offense she may have COM
mitted, therefore the authorities can
deal with girl incorrigibies only
though threats and advice.
An Institution for girls similar to
the one maintained for boys at
Laurel is what the 9.:te needs. and
I is understood that this IL what the
promoters OF the Bon Air movement
contemplate.
Funds for the establishment OF the
reformatory for girls ought to be pro
vided out of the State treasury. How
ever. if those behind the movement
can raise money by private subscirp-
ton. il will relieve the treasury of
Just that much of the burden.

Yes, improperly; that he acted
without due regard to the interest OF

Also that he acted improperly after

claimants who had been before him
as commissioner.
We claim that Bailinger's action
as commissioner was improper in his
failure 10 thoroughly investigate the

erly in ordering these claims TO patent

road to patent. with undue haste.
