Mr.. FinIey's Talk on Washington.

President w. ". Finley, of the South
ern Railway. believes that Washington
should be, and can become. more than an
official and a residential city. He sees
opportunities for the development Of com
merce and industry here that will hasten
the clty's growth and enhance its pros
perity, without in the least detracting
from its attractive characteristics as the
nations seat and a desirable place Of
abode
His admirable address before the Com
mercial Club shows that he knows Wash
ington and has acquired an intimate
knowledge of conditions. Approaching
the magnificent strides it is making. he
thinks its progress may be doubled by
giving proper attention to the commercial
and industrial opportunities offered by the
city's location and its transportation
facilities, rail and water. The South. he
points out. is an especially accessible and
inviting market for products OF light
manufacture that Washington might well
supply.
He emphasizes that industry and com
merce are particularly needed. as in Lon
don, Paris, and other capitals, IN order
10 provide employment outside Of Office
for young men born here whose activi-
ties are now restricted and who are cut
of from participation in the larger at
fairs Of business life
The enterprising business men who
make up the Commercial Club are sure
to profit by President Finley's valuable
suggestions and advice, and are in posi-
ton TO turn the same TO practical account.

The general election held at this

votes being cast for Congressman
and 81 for State officers. The con-

ed under, the one providing for an
additional Associate Justice receiv-
ing only 5 votes "Yes" to 80 NO"
The other eight amendments were
even more overwhelmingly voted
down. There are enough wire
pullers in the State to get these
amendments through, however, and
doubtless all of them will be carried
simply because the country people
didn't take enough interest in the
matter to come out and vote. Think
of it! Less than so votes here when
nearly 800 voted in the primary and
took an oath to support the nomi-
nees of the party.
