HOODLUsIs VS.. SUFFRAGEITEs.

Mrs. Pankhurst. the English suffragist, must
crowd from the performance that the hoodlums
OF New York furnished her day or two ago
Broad streets. meeting had been arranged
at the noon hour for the purpose OF presenting
The claime of equal suffrage to the business men
Of New York Mrs. Pankhurst Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Batch. DR.. Anna Shaw and other pro-
minent leaders OF the movement drove up IN
automobiles decorated with colored bunting
and Mrs. Pankhurst commenced to speak. With
that the hoodlums began their cheers and cat
calls and endeavored to tear the banners and
bunting from the automobiles. They persist
ed In their disorder until the speaker was forced
to desist and the meeting broken up.
We regret this display OF bad manners. or
course everybody knows that 1t was the work
of roughs. who were unable to appreciate the
doctrines they were there to declare. 1t was
a chance for amusement among . crowd whose
chief pleasure Is found In the delicate delights
OF a rough house. No gentleman, OF course
participated In this discourteous treatment Of
refined and earnest women. In our Southland
that lies bright and beautiful beneath the bene-
dictlons OF the southern skies no such thing
as this could have happened. Gentlemen are
in the majority here, and whatever their per-
sonal views they are too wellbred and too
polite to interrupt and ernbarrass speakers.

them in charge
In New York, on this occasion, the toughs
seem to have been in the majority and the
police appear to have been powerless sup
press the disorder We are sure that real men
everywhere will feel shame in this disgraceful
exhibition of bad manners, whatever their
views of or sympathies for the suffrage ques-
ton. And we trust that Mrs. Pankhurst viii
understand that this sort of thing is not char.
acteristic OF the American people but only char
acteristic Of the illbred and coarse crowd that
inevitably associate themselves with the pop

smaller operations.
Tho funds for three Of the above named

tects OF Richmond contributed their share Of
this money. ] wish to say In behalf OF Rich

1t is to be said to the credit OF the arch,-
tects OF this city that they surround themselves
with the best men obtainable in the ranks OF the
architectural craftsmen and there Ia no reason
why Richmond architects should not participate
In such work as mentioned above, all Of which
was done by Northern firms. except one, which
was given to firm within ninety miles Of
Richmond.
The writer wishes to say that In order to avoid

one but really tLat thousands of boys need

prospects OF success in lie are extremely I'M

APOLOGIES TO MAJOR WERNER.

We printed yesterday an editorial criticism
of the police department for their action in
regard to the American Salvation Army. Upon
its perusal Major Werner the Chief of Police,
requested the editor of The VuOtnian to in
spect the documentary evidence upon which his
action was based Suffice it to say that, after
reading this evidence, we are thoroughly con-
WINGED that the chief was justified in his action.
and we most cheerfully commend the stand
he has taken.

Let not citizens forget. however. that this
Administrative Board must be elected by the
people. Much derends upon the personnel and

OF utmost Importance that every voter qualify

may participate in the election next June. Pay

MOVING TOWARDS GOOD GOVERNMENT

MOVING TOWARDS GOOD GOVERNMENT.
Both propositions recommended by the
special committee appointed to recommend
changes in the form OF government were re-
ccmmended for adoption by the committee on
Ordinances Charter and Reform at their meet.
Ing last night. The FORWARD proposition
carried without much discussion and with only
one negative vote. The Administrative Board
cCnmendation elected great deal OF discus
sion, owing to an amendment presented by NJ
Hirschberg that the Police, Fire and Health
Boards be included under the proposed Ad-
administrative Board. The amendment was finally
defeated, however. and the original PROPOSE
tion adopted.
Thus the first step towards an up-to-date
and business like municipal administration
has been taken. The matter goes to the
