Whence The CIan1or2

Whether true or not, there is a
widespread feeling in Virginia that
offices and officeholders are the first
consideration of the General Assem-
bly,. and that the great body of tax
payers, who employ no lobby, but
depend upon their representatives for
protection, are being saddled, from
year to year, with additional and un-
necessary expenses of State and coun-
ty government.
We do not believe there can be
found one hundred men in Virginia,
outside of the Legislature, who hon
estly believe that there are needed
thirty-two judicial circuits in Vir-
ginia, when only sixteen are needed
i'm North Carolina State of equal
area and population. Although an
experience of four years showed that
the legal business required not more
than twenty-four judges, the Legis-
lature in the last four years has
added eight additional judges with in
creased salaries for all. Where does
the demand come from for the new
judicial circuits-the bureaus and
commissions-that are being created
at each session of the Legislature L?
What large body of taxpayers has i'm

GIRL CAPTAINS A Pole
TEAM OF MEN AND WINS

The handsome and dashing Miss Emily

added TO her laurels won in the stee-

extraordinary and unique feat, for a
woman, of captaining a polo team to-
day-and leading TO victory as well.

beneath a long-skirted cutaway coat
she wears corduroy riding breeches, cut
only a little fuller in their lines than
those worn by the men riders. Another
launty effect in her costume is a SOM

Miss Randolph was chosen captain OF
the Cottagers four today in their
game against the Yankees. All the
other players on the CoJtagers' team
were men. Not only did Miss Randolph
by a score Of 5 to > "a, but she herself

All, the river. how It's singing,
Sweet its verdant banks are ringing,
Singing, always singing
To light hearts upon its shore,
Telling of the golden morrow,
Whose dawn is free of sorrow,
Singing, ever singing
To light hearts upon its shore.
All, the river, now tits moaning,
As seaward 1t is flowing,
Moaning, always moaning,
For the souls that are no more,
Telling of deaths horror,
Which may fill that golden morrow,
Moaning, ever moaning
For those sleeping on its shore.
Once my heart was like that river,
Sweetly singing, happy ever,
singing, always singing
OF the one that l adored,
Till 5 hethougth l lightly loved her,
SCORED at all my soul could offer,
Now I'm moaning, ever moaning,
That she ScOrnCd me eVermOre.

IRv|AGTON SOLONS
KILL D|S0ROERLY
CONDUCT MEASURE
Action Taken After Protests Are
Heard Against Distribu-
ton of Circulars.

The ordinance defining disorderly
conduct and providing a penalty for it
violation was defeated on second read
ing by tho Irvington Town Council az
its meeting last night. The particu-
larry Objectionable feature of the pro
posed measure was section ?, which
would prohibit the placing of circulars,
advertisements and hand-b i Is upon the
stoops and premises of private houses.
A delegation from the West enc I'm
~provement Association was present,
and Albert J. Laconlbe. as the spokes-
man, protested against the inclusion of
thai section in the ordinance. He de-
clared that, while it was perfectly
proper to prohibit the proiniscuous lit
tering OF the streets with all kinds of
advertising matter. 1t was e grave in
justice to put an absolute stop to
the placing OF useful and legitimat,
advertising matter and beneficial liteia-
ture upon private property, over whic1
the Council had no direct jurisdiction
He also believed that such action was
an encroachment ulon the freedom of
the poop.e. and II put to test would be
declared illegal.
Henry Carless also spoke against Tho
section. which he designated as bcirs
too drastic and unpopular. Reinho'd
kniep, secretary OF Branch Irving OF,
Socialist party, presented, in behalf OF
the branch, a resolution opposing the
section on the grounds that 1t failed
to except the distribution OF circulars,
advertisements or hand-bills OF d
benevolent or political nature.
Mayor William l.. Glorieux was op-
posed not only to the section In dispute,
but to other parts Of the ordinan Q
1t was defeated by the votes OF the
Mayor and Councilmen Frederick &c
k~elhofer, Henry O. Osborne. Davii IL.
Greene and George NJ. Wills. August
J.. Laeombc and Frederick Dehnett, the
other two councilInen. left tho room
while the vote was taken.
After a public hearing, which had
been continued during several meet
ings of the council, an ordinance was
passed on first reading for paving Avon
avenue with brick. On recommended
tiol Of Councilman Osborne an ordi-
nance passed first reading for the con-
%struction of sanitary sewers in Univer-
sity place, Vermont avenue, Isabella
avenue, breckenridge terrace. Ctel-
sea terrace, Grove terrace and a sec
ton of Myrtle venue Another cr1t-
nance was passsd for sewerirg six
tee:lth avenue from Grove street east
to the town limit.
Councilman Wills. Of the lighting
committee. recommended the placing
OF ffty additional lights in different
parts OF this town, including an arc
lamp near town centre. This received
the sanction of the council. On recon-
mendation OF Laconbe. the placing CT a
hydrant at Halstead and Stuyvesant
avenues was authorized.
