chased with funds to be contributed

contends that 1t should be erected In
Lynchburg, the home city of the illtis-
trious Lame Lion" but wishes the
people Of Lynchburg to start the move.
ment. wherever the memorial be plac-
ed.
THAT the movement will take on de-
finite shape at once is a hope In which
we fully concur with our contempor-
airy. The memory Of this splendid son
OF Virginia should be permanent
~ honored without delay by a
monument. Loved as he was by
the rank and file of virginians,
we have faith that contributions to
such a cause would soon pour in from
every city and county and hamlet in
this Commonwealth. For Daniel gave
himself to the people of Virginia. He
did not lay up treasures for himself
as he grew old In their service. His
life was one of constant sacrifice,
and this monument would be testi-
monial OF the debt of gratitude which
Virginia owes to her brilliant son. His
state he served, himself he would not
serve.
That the News should wish the sta
tue to be placed in Lynchburg seems
not at all strange. 1t is but natural
that the people of that city should SO
desire Yet we believe that the peo-
pie Of Virginia would will that the
memorial be erected in the capital of
their State and his. Let us place a
bronze likeness of him Of noble pro-
portions in the shadow of the capitol
OF Virginia, In defense of which. he
gave the blood Of his youth and in
which he spent his first years as a
public servant. Let it stand there as
perpetual reminder TO him who like
wise would in his day and generation
serve Virginia faithfully and unse1f-
ishly and nobly. Honor now him who
was In tho memorable era in which,
he lived and moved the strong starr
of Virginia and "the beautiful rod- of
her people.

TIE OYSTER oL1GARcHY.

Virginia receives $4,000 year from
rental OF oyster bottoms and licenses
to tongers. To protect the oyster bot
toms from depreciation by tongers or
planters costs $4,000. The total revo-
nue. derived from tongers is $4,000.
So it costs Virginia $4,000 year TO
keep the natural rocks open for
public use. Commissioner Mcdonald
Lee has for years been crying Tor
more police. more. money, more sAen.
In the main, the Legislature has
granted these requests, and yet Com
missioner Lees policy has miserabiy
failed
If Virginia would lease its oyster
bottoms she would receive n net reVe-
nue. of 100000 at least. instead of the
paltry $4,000 that now dribbles in.
And what is more the oystermen,
tongers and planters alike, would pro-
duce not less than five times the
wealth now coming. from the rivers,
bays and estuaries of the State On
the side of peace and good order the
gain would be oven greater, Said The
-Dispatch1s special correspond
ent Yesterday:
Among the inspectors the opinion
prevails that the trouble largely orig
mated through the fact that the tong
ers have no occupation during the
closed season. Throughout the sum-
mer. when rigid police regulations for
bid the taking of oysters from the
tln ,1,y
oysters on the market are those from
private grounds. the tongers drift
about in idleness and talk of their
grievances. With the opening of the
season on September 5 there came
the rush to the ROCKS. and the stake
pulling episode, which was an act of
sheer lawlessness
Under a general leasing policy this
idleness would BIO impossible, for the
tongers would be at work all summer
either in their own or some ono elses
leased bottoms. From the tongers'
standpoint this is eminently desirable.
If the tongers really want profitable
and steady work instead of occasional
CANDLES when rich STRIKES" occur.
From the states standpoint it means

from the oyster industry without con-
sidering the incidental and certain
growth of wealth in Underwater
