exposition ought to be Launched, super
vised, managed and conducted by
negroes. White men will lend 1t their
aid and encouragement. financially and
otherwise. But for white mon to orr
ganiae and run It would simply be to
emphasize the negroes incapacity to
do this for himself. This would not
be happy background for celebra-
tion designed to call attention to the
races advance in the direction OF self
help and self-reliance. 1t Is also sug-
gested that comparatively few negroes
would be able to patronize the eXpost-

Is one of those very simple practical
thoughts which seems to offer much
food for deliberation.

The proposal to connect Richmond
with the Northern Neck district by
an automobile line plying a regular
schedule between Tappahannock and
Milford may lead to very important re-
suits. At present the rich Essex county
section is entirely cut off from this
| part Of the state. The trip from Tap
pahannoclS to Richmond takes twenty
| four hours, which, for the distance. Is
absolutely prohibitive. All relations
between this city and large popula-
ton of Virglnians, said to number 50,-
900, are about as effectually blocked
as though they lived in Buffalo or
Cincinnati. Baltimore, and not Rich
mond. Is the metropolis Of these peo-
pie, and their valuable trade goes there
as surely and as straight as though
they naturally belonged to the Mary
land city. This sort of thing, which
exists with other districts than the
Northern Neck, Is one of the unreason-
able and serious drawbacks OF Rich
mond's position. The Essex people
earnestly desire closer business and
social relations with this city, but the
railroad situation makes such thing
utterly impossible. The proposed auto
mobile line, by tapping the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
at Milford, would, 1T is said, cut down
the running time between Tappahan-
mock and Richmond to four hours, as
well as reduce the fare one-half. The
Times Dispatch would much like to
see this line established on a profitable
enough basis to insure Its permanence,
at least until the steam road comes.

FEDERAL BUILDING

EDITOR STAR:-Have the plans
for the new Federal building been ac-
oepted finally, and is it too late 10
make changes in its architecture?
ask this as there has been severe cri-
ticism of the proposed building, as to-
tally unsuited for our climate. 1t
would be a pity to have a building
we later would be dissatisfied with.
From statements made it only needs
iron shutters and doors to make it
suitable for a Chicago cold storage
warehouse. But what steps are being
taken by the proper authorities to have
the plans changed? Better wait an
other year and get what we want.
