one battleship after another went in

as ii could have been done at any other
Government or private ship-building

has any other ship found any obstacle.
Every story that has been told with
the object of "ny- blowing" the Charles
ton Yard has turned out upon exami-
nation to be false. 1t Is time to quit
operation of the virginian-P Pilot in
keeping the public and the authorities
at Washington advised of the truth
about this great undertaking. OF

1t keeps the people down there from
being too stuck up and makes them

there is room for the yard at Charles

the Importance of the yard at Norfolk.

Cabot Lodge must go. Eugene f SIS,
the newly elected Democratic Governor
of Massachusetts, says so, and says so
in way that even Mr.. Lodge will
understand Tho people of Massachu-
setts do not want him. A majority of
/ the Massachusetts Legislature do not
want him. He can command the sup
port of that body only through the
caucus, and there is very serious OBJ
lection on the part of a large num-
Der of the newly elected Republican
members of that body not to be drawn
into the caucus. without which Mr..
Lodge is as good as dead right now.
The most interesting thing that has
happened in Massachusetts politics for
years is the declaration of war to the
knife and the knife to the hilt which
Governor F'oss has declared against
the statesman of Nahant. Read it, and
join us in shouting Bully for Fossil"
Foss tells Lodge to get out, to give
up his seat in the Senate. to confess
that he is out of touch with the people
of his State, and serves notice on
him that if he shall stay in the race
for reelection he will speak against
him from every stump in the State He
couches mis- statement in this pic
turesque form: 81 shall never sign
his credentials except at the end of
campaign which will make the last
one look ike an afternoon tea party
Again we say, Bully for Foss.. The
thing for Lodge to do. evidently is to
quit now; that he will have to quit,
there does not appear to be the shadow
of a shade of doubt.
Richard olhey is spoken of as a
man upon whom the anti-Lodge Repub-
licans and the Democrats could unite
with great advantage to the state and
the country. Mr.. olney is one of the
strongest, fairest, cleanest men in the
country. He would make a Senator of
whom Massachusetts, could be proud,
and we hope tnat ne will be elected He
is so much better than Lodge that we
should think Lodge himself would be
willing to get out if olney should be
agreed upon for his successor. But
whether Lodge will get out of his own
motion or upon the request of Cover
nor Foss, he will be put out, and we
don't care how he get out so he get.
Once more, Mr.. Chairman and You,
Ny Fellow Citizens" let us join in

HENRY n unY,r

Another efficient public servant was
lost yesterday, when Henry Martyr
Hoyt, Counsellor of the Department
OF State, died in Washington. A law
yer of wide and exact learning, a
business man of high character. an
active force in the Department of Jus
tice in various capacities for fifteen
years, and always giving a good &C.
count of himself by his faithful dis
charge of duty, and for more than a
year holding most important place in
the higher work of the State Depart
ment, his death is to be deplored as a
public loss.

railroad situation in connection with

Yale had put Princeton to inglorious

ago and he must have been tickled
almost to death by what Yale did to

hothlng to nothing, which means that

Tor Yale. Yale has had good many
things coming. its way of late. There is
MI Taft for example and Baldwin,
and Hadley and the rest OF a noble
army of men who have been doing
things of Importance to the country;
but the greatest of Yale's recent VIC
tories was the victory on Saturday,
when it kept down the score of Har-
yard and drove the bean eaters in con-
fusion from the field.

CHAMP CLARK CUNNING FOR
POSTMASTERS.

CHAMP Clark is swearing vengeance
against six postmasters in his district
who We're perniciously active in the
recent campaign. All the postniasters In
Missouri held a conference in st. Louis
when the campaign began and made
arrangements to carry on the Repub-
lican contest in that State. They
singled out Mr.. Clark's district, and six
of their number left their Offices to
electioneer against him. Mr. Clark
did not expect them to vote for him or
to support him for re-election; but he
insists that they were travelling outside
their beats when they made open and
offensive war upon him. He has re-
ported the case to Postmaster General
Hitchcock, who will take it up to-day.
If Hitchcock shall fail to do his obvious
duty, Mr.. Clark will demand an inves-
tigation by Congress to determine
whether or not the civil service rules
shall be observed by the Administra-
ton.
1t is very nice question, and we
hope that Mr.. Clark will press his
grievance During the campaign, it
VIII be recollected, the men employed
In the customs service at New York
proposed to go into the fight in that
State. Loeb put his foot down on 1T,
and there was no pernicious activity
on their part. Hitchcock ought to
follow the example of Loeb in thi.
case. lie will probably need the friend

Richmond, and Richmond is growing
steadily greater ffty-two weeks in the
year. and every year, with something
to carry. This week. however. will re-
qulre whole chapter in the moving
annals of this town. 1t began yester-
day with splendid parade of the Bible
students, six thousand of them, repre-
senting the moral sense of the com
munity, who were not ashamed to show
their colors. but rejoiced that they
could join in demonstration that

This week three thousand teachers
from Virginia and from all the States
in the South will assemble here to
take counsel together about the best
methods of pressing the cause of edu-
cation.
This week there will be great game
of football between the University OF
Virginia and the University of North
Carolina. or course. we know how this
test of strength and science will re-
suit but we shall not be so inhospi-
table as to say If the countrymen from
Chapel Fill actually win the game they
will deserve all the greater honor be-
cause there are so many bets on the
other side.
Then there is to be an aviation meet
this week, and the air Will be filled
with flying things, some of which will
take desperate chances, probably, much
TO the delight and excitement OF those
who stay on the ground.
But the great event of the week will
be the visit of President Taft. who is
coming to show how much he sympa-
thizes with the work of the teachers
who are striving Tor the education of
all the people, and, by the dissemina-
ton OF sound learning, the improve
inent of our citizenship. Mr.. Taft Is
doing a great service. not only to
Richmond and Virginia, but to the
South and to the whole country, in
fact, by pausing in the midst of the
tremendous issues pressing upon him
10 manifest his interest in the educa-
ton of the people, and his coming will
be regarded as the highest tribute he
could pay the teachers and their work.
Then there is TO be Thanksgiving
Day this Week, and, of course, it VIII
be observed by all our own people and
by all the people who are here, We
have so much to- be thankful for in
Richmond. In the first place, because
we live in Richmond. and in the last
place. also; but we ought TO be thank
ful largely because of the friends we
shall have with US this week, who will
be even better friends otter they have
left US If We shali show ourselves
friendly.

The most impressive spectacle we
have ever witnessed was the parade of
the Bible students OF Richmond yester-
day afternoon, Although there We're
six thousand men in the marching
columns, it was not by any means the
largest procession that has been wit
Messed in this town. and It could not be
compared with the military displays
that have been made here There
was no martial music, no uni
formity in dress, no lavish show OF
Gags and banners, no attempt Al spec
tacular effects, and for these reasons
the demonstration was all the more
Impressive. Viewed from the piazza of
tie Cathedral, opposite Monroe Park,
Fl seemed that the marching column
would never end, With the flag of
the country and the banner of the
Cross at the head OF the parade it
moved on and on without one word of
command, silent, self-respecting, Sc.
rious- minded, glorious company. VIE

Of God which shall yet set the world

WHERE THE SHOE p1NcHEs.

DR.. Wiley. the Food Expert at Wash
/, ington, says 4Aat there is nothing in
the story that prices are coming
down; that the dealers and packers and
| the rest Of the combine are just fool
! ing the people. There certainly has
| been no sign in these parts of any
reduction in the cost of living. Be-
sides. there are two sides to this ques-
! ton, as there are to every question.
! 1t is true that the trusts are to blame
| largely for the high cost OF everything
| we eat and drink and smoke and wear,
| but we believe that the high prices
have been of substantial benefit to
many of those who have made the
things that the consumer must have.
There is cotton, for example, and
not once in the last thirty years has
the price of the staple ruled SO high
cotton planters have really had a
picnic and generally speaking, are in
better condition than at any previous
time since the war. The prices for
wheat and corn and oats have all been
high enough to yield the growers a
fair profit on their operations 1t is
not what we have sold that has caused
distress, but what we have been COM
PEELED to buy. The cotton planter who
has not raised his own meat has com
Ito pay more for his supplies of this
sort, just as the hog grower has com
planned because he has mad to pay more
for his cotton goods.
The people who have got caught are
the people who live on wages; they are
the ultimate consumers" who have
had hard sledging, and they been able
only to make ends meet by insisting
that their wages shall be increased, and
the men and institutions which have
suffered most are the employers and
the corporations, particularly the rail-
road corporations, which have been
/ compelled to cut their profits by the
competition they are compelled to meet,
or by Regulation" in the administra-
ton of their affairs which makes it
Impossible for them to improve their
service.
We all want to break up the trusts
in which we are not directly interested.
1t Is the way of the world. 1t is the
OK of the other fellow that is gored
which does not Concern us. 1t is a fact
that while other things have been go
ing up gradually all the time, the COM
pensation of the railroads has been
going down, The man who reflects
will see that this sort of thing cannot
go on forever; that breaking point
will be reached after awhile, anu that
something Will happen, No jug-han-
died arrangement is a good arrange
ment in business The only safe rule
is the rule of live and let live. This
is thing that is worth thinking about.

Aviation needs scientific aid IN the
