Tie High cost OF Living.

Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,--The national government. va
rious States and the whole people arc
irving TO solve the problem OF the
high cost of living. Why IS this so.
and what is the remedy
II is the general opinion that con-
centrated action by the cold storage
packers IS largely responsible for
great deal OF this. II so. my sugges-
ton, as an efficient remedy, Is for the
national government to pass Law,
and for all States to ratify the same.
that no eatables that have been put
in cold storage shall! be shipped out
of the State of said plant. This will,
in my opinion. remedy TO a great de-
gree the combination of so-called
trusts; provided. Furthermore. that no
goods shall be sold after a limited
period after 1t has been so stored
Furthermore, If it is in the limit of the
Constitution. that no one shall. either
directly or indirectly, own stock in
any such plant, unless he is "a reside mt
of the State. etc. This will encour-
age each State to raise more of its
own supplies. NJ. L. ANDREWS.

MORE VIRGINIA COLONIES.
Increase in Governors star Viewed
With Alarm III kentucky.

WIN Alarm III iNCntucky.
A bill has been introduced in the
Virginia Legislature to increase the
number of the Governors aides TO
TWENTY-FIVE. Evidently a good many
politicians in Virginia are ycarning FOR
titles, as position ON the Governors
STAFF makes q plain citizen Il colonel.
The number of colonels the Governor
may appoint at present is eighteen
Governor Mann doubtless has fewer
place. than applicants and has asked
tho Legislature to increase the num-
Der of aides in order that he may
have enough colonelships to go around.
When the really important patronage
gives out it is a handy thing to nave
IL few honorary titles with which to
salve the wounds of disappointed Of
1lceholders. No one knows of any par
ticular use that n Governor has for n
staff of aides, For parade purposes
he may surround himself with his
colonies If he so elects, but most Gov
| errors are not so inclined, and as o,
| rule the aide gets nolhing out of his
appointment except the empty title,
which the general public accepts or
| ignores, as it sees proper.
The Virginia Legislature viii set a.
bad precedent If il increases the num-
Der or colonies. If Virginia is like
other States. it is already too Well
supplied with colonies of the marufac-
tGred variety, ana there is no pressing
need OF enlarglng the gubernatorial
output, The Houston Post recently an
swered the question, What Is a Col
onel?" by replying, "A citi&cn of Texas
or Kentucky" This reminded the, IA :
leigh News and Observer of a little
story. thnt is pertinent To the situa-
ton in Virginia:

Virginia cannot anord 10 suspend
work on her military records a. anE,
time. The long scroll Of fame, listing
200 years Of valor, should be preserved
ana treasured always. But Virginia
certainly cannot afford to stop work
in completing her records at this time.
AS yet, many of the old brown paper
muster rolls, with their dim ink and
faded printing. are scattered about the
state, full of brave mems names and
deeds. But within few years these
rolls and the men who know their
whereabouts Will alike be gone. il
they are to be saved, it must be done
quickly. Major r. w. Hunter, the able
and gallant Secretary of Militar- Zee
ords, has already secured many OF
them-enough to show that Virginia
sent 1882 men to the front. If the
Legislature will continue the appro-
priation for the Secretary of Military
Records, these and nobler facts of his
tory will be demonstrated. Nirginia's
record will be sustained, and her his
tory will be securely preserved.

ballot, so TO put 1t, both an effect ana
n cause. Women must show genuine
and widespread interest in public dues-
lions before they can hope to get the
ballot, and when they get the ballot
the use Of II will develop this interest
still further Once the habit of intel
ligent acquaintance with matters now
regarded az particularly mans concern
is firmly implanted, they may be said
to have fairly set going the general
rise OF the sex. This as we under
stand 1T, is the contention of the suf-
,fragists. and one which will doubtless
have a growing appeal to women. But
whether 1t VIII have an equal appeal
to men is another matter. and here
is n doubt which would certainly re-
act OH woman's own position. Author
tiles tell us that woman is largely the
product of mans ideal of what woman
ought to he. Not every man. perhaps,
desires wife who can not merely dis
cuss the tariff or militarism with him,
but distinctly get the better of him
in the discussion: and so long as men
prefer women who say archly and
'adoringy: Imagine poor Little Me ar
guing that with YOU" it is possible
that a great many women will not
care at all for the sterner glories of
intellectual equality.
SO, at a new angle. the revolt of
woman is seen as largely the education
of man. Let men generally insist on
a mental peer and comrade, and
presto! the thing is done. Credit must
be given to the men for talking lot
of foolishness and being liarried by a
lot of fancied terrors in this direc-
ticn. They used to behave Just the
same way about the higher education

or the average, college training

this principle TO its logical conclusion
1t means, first. the end OF all local

ures that dry Smithyilc has lower
