Caynor's Advice H. Boys.

Mayor Gaynor, of New York has given many in
OF good sound sense and has said many things
few words nothing more striking than the advice
college These his words:
DO not go out of here puned up with pride. Be
charity whatever He does not treat any body right,
Bring yourself down to simplicity Let your
from being proud and arrogant. because / only
la little man here with other men This is hard
Job but it will make you bigger men and viii prob
ably do the others good
The vain never reaches the highest point in
the professions Be simple Lead the simple life II
Is the simple man who succeeds. DO not arrogate airs
to Yourself, because they easily slide on
win no notion that you are learned men or that
your education is complete. Anybody who thinks so
had better stay here. Keep studying, To be
a success you have got to work hard"
No man would seek to curb the energies of youth.
or dispel the glow of enthusiasm that iumines
hopes OF the boy Just out of college He only the
beautiful side of life, his impulses are good his
soraid things' he is IKE NJ racer that sees the
track stretch away ahead Of him and is the
sailor that feels the favorable breeze swelling
sails and sees the bright waves dancing under the
veins, the ability to accomplish dominates his being.
That is the youth that Mayor Gaynor to be
sphere of usefulnes by false pride the dream thai

to him that he suggests the submity of endeavor,
to him he points the ptfa of arrogance.
Mayor Gaynor knows that
THE heights by great reached and kept

Richmond in Trouble.
| The lack OF harmony and cooperation among the
heads of departments of the Richmond city govern
ment would be laughable II ii
costly and annoying to, the people of that city We
observe that The Virginian devotes than column
to the discussion of proposition TO have a commit
of streets and water. The mayor. the city engineer
and other leading citizens heartily favor change
They argue rightly that in this only CO.
operation among the departments be secured.
So lacking is this desired cooperation that they
discussing seriously the advsabt having the
police justice misdemeanor charge for tearing
up the streets and not restoring them their
condition
Now while II would be a great Improvement In
Richmond to have committee to overlook the work
OF all three departments. 1t would still be a
some arranxement. One man could do the work bet
ter than half dozen OF three, simply because
one man can act promptly while three cannot Unless
put under restraint three cannot be kept
for a whole working day. and the they
separated some question would arise demande ed
Immediate settlement and the city's interests would
suffer while they were getting the committee to-
gether
After trying the committee plan awhile, we shall
be greatly surprised II Richmond does not take n
further step and place the work OF these several
departments under one head just have II here
in administration Leader.
