NEGRO CAUSES GREAT
DEATH RATE IN RICHMOND

RIO HMOND, Wasp ecial-
Although Richmond has one of the
smallest death rates OF any city OF its
size in the country il would be much
less If the population was not com
posed of a large percentage of color
ed people.
For the month OF May. according
TO the Bulletin for the Department of
Health. there were Psi deaths in the.
city of Richmond for that month. OF
his number, SO were non-residents-
persons brought here for treatment in
the several hospitals Tor operations.
old persons suffering from incurable
disease and the like. This leaves a
total of 215 for the city of Richmond,
including Washington Ward. The
number of deaths or whites was 1OI
and of negroes ia. The rate per
1000 of population was white, 14.70.
and colored 2S.S1. Basing the pOpu-
iation at two-thirds white to one-third
cOlOred, it is seen that the death rate
among the latter is twice as great as
that of the whites.
The causes of death were due in
large part as follows: Consumption.
white and 10 colored; violence, 3
white and 9 colored; heart trouble, Is
white and colored; measles. II whit.
and colored; Brights disease, 10
white and 8 colored; pneumonia.
white and 16 colored; typhoid, l white
and 1 colored. The others were due
to several causes.

records OF last year, or about one
additional organization for each day.
The increase is scattered over every
state, no state showing q decline.
The following great movements
have heen inaugurated by State Off
cial and commercial organizati
during the year; the three Missouri
Land Congresses, the Texas Industrial
Congress, the Arkansas Land Con-
gress. the Mississippi Land and I'm
provement Association. the Greater
Georgia Association and the Louisiana
Farm Lands Congress. Virginia has.
under the leadership OF Governor
Mann, brought into legal existence
the United States Agricultural Board.
This is designed t~ prevent duplica-
ion.of effort and waste energy on the
part of the Department of Agricul-
ture, the railroads, the experiment
stations. the farm demonstration work
or the United States Department of
Agriculture and OF commercial or
carnations.
1t is expected that this also will
lead to a united advertising effort for
the State.

SWANSON WAS A
POPULAR GOVERNOR.
(From the Roanoke Times.

Writing from Independence, Gray
son county, correspondent of The
Roanoke Times says everybody around
there favors Swanson for United
states Senator to succeed Senator
Daniel. So far as we have oppor-
tpnity to know this feeling prevails
throughout the State. Governor
Swanson is the logical man for the
vacancy so unhappily made There

people, not distracted or confused by
the inner twists and turns of politics.
turn to him naturally.
He is a politician, and a machine
politician at that, but he has made
good and gives every promise Of MAX
ing good wherever he may go. He
has brains and energy, influence and
character. No scandal has touched
his conduct in public life. He stands
oy his friends, but he insists that his
Irlends shall be square, and that when
IN public office they shall attend to
their business and give the public full
value. He is a business man Of ability
ana nerve. While he was at the head
OF the State government it was con-
Quoted on the best business principles

refused to hamper the onward move

States money freely for the advance

and the advantage of her people. Be
tore he finished he had won for him
self the approval and confidence of
those who had distrusted and opposed
him most strongly. He had a quick.
Keen eye for the welfare and protec-

the panic emergency of 1907 he was
OF vast service 10 the business inter

w ashington TO secure protection and
tortihcation for the Virginia banks in
case OF any sudden rush or emer-
gency. The knowledge that he had
done so was kept from the general
puplc, Dut 1t was a powerful factor in
giving comfort and confidence TO the
unanciers and bankers. In a panic
confidence and assurance of solid cash

only, safeguards.

PAYMENT OF FIGHT BET

do not care a snap about either. We
are Tor Virginia. We think Virginians
are entitled TO and should have the
service OF the very best and most
usetul men regardless Of their fac
tonal associations. We hope TO see
swanson, who is a machine man, go
to the Senate and Stuart, who is
counted as an anti-machine man, go
to the House Of Representatives and
be Governor some day. We believe
each Of them would be of vast value
TO the State in these respective posi-
uons. AS regards the senatorship. we
see no reason why Governor Mann.
VINO has the appointment in his own
hanos, should hesitate and leave the
way open for any doubt or unrest or
complication. Probably he knows as
well as we do that the great majority
or the people would like TO see Swan
son appointed. If from any motives
OF uencacy he thinks il better not to
make the appointment at this mo-
ment, he can settle the business in a
minute by the simple announcement
that when the time comes Swanson
viii be appointed. We see nothins. to
be gained by delay We cannot
Imagine that Governor Mann will con-
slider in connection with the matter
tions. He knows he was not made
Governor to enable him TO pay such
debts and it is not fit that a position
like the United States senatorship
from Virginia should be used for such
a purpose.
Swanson was the most useful Gov
ernor the State has had since the war.
We say this without prejudice to anv
other Governor. He had more on
portunity than any of those who went
before him, but he had also the sense
and dash TO use the opportunity and
to drive things along. He deserves
the senatorship by right of service.
He deserves it by right of proved abil-
ity to do further service and to do il
promptly and effectively. He deserves
IL because 1t is certain that he will
be useful to his people and his marty
and that he may be trusted ALWAYS to
do the State credit anywhere or in anv
company or position.
