If there is any change. divorces ought
TO be made harder to get instead OF
easier Most of the newspapers OF
the state and probably large ma
iority of the people are OF this same
opinion. and this no doubt accounts
for the hard knocks Senator Risen S
bill has received. However. as the
Times. Dispatch points out, the amend

for divorce or make a divorce easier

says. though the bill may be unneces'
sary and even unwise. 1t hardly can
be described as dangerous.

Control Of the Air.

Who owns the air? That question
will have to be decided one of these
days, both in relative to airships and
10 wireless telegraph and telephones.
With airships 1t still remains an AGA
damic question. but II is a live issue
on the Atlantic Coast In connection
with the telegraph. Amateur opera
tors, some OF them with high-powes
stations. are very numerous. and they
assume that they have a right TO use
their apparatus at any time. The
most OF them are boys without a
sense OF responsibility. and many are
mischievOus.
Because OF these complaints a Mas
sschusetts member Of congress pro-
poses that some action be taken to
regulate this form OF teiegraphy. Hts
plan is for the President TO appoint
. board Of experts. which shall for
mulate rules for the control Of its
operation. these rules later to be
submitted to congress to be enacted
into laws. This plan meets with sP
rrovaL but strong opposition to 1t has
developed.
]; might be thought that amateur
operators could not muster much
strength. but they have certain com
merciai interests behind them. II =

THE ALUMNi's CHARGES
AGAINST DR.. BAR RINGER.

The Daily Press has received from
Lawrence Pr.ddy. president OF the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute Alumni
Association, a copy Of the charges
preferred against the president CT the
institute. DR.. Paul Barringer. by a
ct mmittee of the alumni. the
charges are too lengthy to admit oil
newspaper publication, and perhaps
il would be unfair to print any or
all OF them until they are supported
by testimony and DR.. Rarringer has
been given an opportunity to reply to
them. This investigation and hear
ing should take place at once. Dr.
Barringer IS at the head OF one OF
yirginias most important education
al Institutions, and unless he can
clear himstlf OF the alumnis accusa'
tions. the sooner he retires the bet
ter.
II would be bai enough II sucn
charges as the committee has MADE
and published against Dr. BaTrinSer
came from single individual VINO
might. in all probability. be unwar'
rantably prejudicej agains, the doc
tor and desirious Of doing him an in
Jury. But when a committee OF the
alumni CT the institute, composed oil
men who naturally are peculiarly in
terested in the school and who, the
nlb ic will assume until the contrary
,c shown, have no personal feeling IN
the matter and are branding the
president as incapable and unworthy
with reluctance only because they be-
,ieve the welfare Of the institute de-
mapss such action. the situation Is
bad indeed.
Any one Of half a dozen o. the fail-
ings with which Or Barringer is &C.
eused is sufficient to render him an
improper person to be at the head ci
N great school. Several Of the
charges, which would amount to prac
t,caily nothing " made against the
president Of a railroad CT any business
Institution. must be considered damn
ing u proven against the head OF an
institution in which boys and young

AS for his participation in the war
he stated that he had been too young
Ior that.
Mr.. Hepburn said that If there were
senators who thought that it was
proper that the rebel flag should
wave over the property of the United
States they could vote for the meas
ure, but he would remind them that
there were millions of people in the
United States who have implanted
deep in the hearts the spirits OF
patriotism. who would not follow them
lii that course.
From the consideration of the pend
ing resolution, Mr.. Hepburn turned
temporarily to the question Of the
wisdom of placing statue of General
Lee in the Hall Of Fame in the ma
tonal capitol. He die not mention
General Lee by name, but left no
doubt that he had him in mind.
He spoke of the fact that the OBJ
