MI. PERKINS EcIGRAM.

That very bright thing Mr. George
w Perkins said before the Interstate Com
meree Committee of the Senate: 'In Germany
they knight their captains ri industry: in this
country they indiet Them
Within certain limits that is true. A full
knowledge of the facts. however. we fancy
would show that there is a difference in the
German and American captain of industry that
entities the one to the recognition that brings
honor and the other to the recognition that
has IA somewhat opposite effect.
II is quite evident that the courts do not
go abroad indicting men for pastme, nor vet
upon vague suspicion, unsupported by tangible
evidence. The indictment follows and Is occa-
stoned by. the defiance of law The court then
Is not primarily responsible for the indictment
but tl,e man himself who has violated the law.
MIR. Perkins would do well to reconsider his
parallel Perhaps he could tell us of the COM
mercial and national service rendered nv the
German captain of industry that caused the
government to besow the honor of knight
hood. Perhaps he might also tell Of the seds
of the American captain of industry tnat pre-
ceded the indictment.
We have been exceedingly lenient with these
great men. Our courts have not only brought
them under indictment, but have also found
them guilty of violating the law Their cor
porations have been fined and ordered dis
solved, but not OF the benevolent gentlemen
has suffered the penalty Of the law in his own
person, though they have been adIudged guilty
and the statute provides proper penalties for
criminal ofYenses.
1t Is true that have not knighted them
Mr.. Perkins, but 1t is also true ynar we have
permitted proven violations of the law to go
unpublished because have such high re-
gard for your captains of industry.
The funniest thing Mr.. Perkins said how
ever. was that there has been great Weakening
Of Late. and that business was being conducted
upon much higher plane. Well we reckon
so. The awakening did not result from vol
untary conviction of sin and unassisted peni.
tence. The people made such noise that the
captains awoke and the, courts began tn. get
80 busy that these gentlemen repented. 1t was
a sort of forced contrition penitence under
pressure. and we have strong suspicion that
the nation will have to be constantly on the
alert lest these converts backslde at the ear.
lest opportunity.

THE ORIGINAL PROPOSITION WINS.

The Council on last night eoncurred with
the Administrative Board ordinance as it pass
cd the Board OF Aldermen, bringing all the
departments OF The municipal administration
uaQer the control OF tne proposed board, with
the exception OF the Police Fire and Health
departments.
Thus notable victory has been won for
reform In the city government after fight
marked by the enthusiastic and persistent in
terest Of the press, commercial organizations
and citizens generally. While 1t is true that
large number Of citizens think that the pro
posed board should comprehend in It's author
lily all the activities Of the city, yet expeG1ency
prompted the friends of reform to accept THIS
in a sense. compromise measure II is pretty
generally thought that politics has played
large part in the proceedings, and would have
nlayed a. more conspicuous part at the coming
election Of the members of the Administrative
Board had the eliminated departments been in
eluded IN the plan as adoptd All things con-
sidered II is held by men well acquainted with
conditions in the city that great victory has
been won and that If the experiment proves
successful. the three boards can then be added
The next thing is the election of the five
members of this Board of Administration, They
must be good men, and the duty of the citizens
OF Richmond is to see that political considera-
tions are eliminated in their election. fair
test of this experiment can only be had when
Richmond puts the test in the hands Of the
best available men for the position. This Is
the next fight in the progress of the program.
and it is not too soon for citizens to resolve
that only competent men shall be elected

CURRENT COMMENT
For Smaller Council.

1t is doubtful If any thoughtful man could
be found who would not agree that the mem
pership of the Common Council and Board of
Aldermen of Norfolk should be reduced and
that the city should be redistricted into fewer
wards.
1t has too often been dem onstra ted that the
present Council membership constitutes an I'M
wieldy body difficult to assemble. and of such
diverse minds that majority action Is always
difficult It has been apparent to the point
Of the grotesque that when a problem of mag
nitude has been presented the Council in
Narably took refuge In small special COM
mittea the only available way at arriving
at conclu sons
Til" fewer the wards and the smaller the
Council tho better. Two wards and fourteen
eoanoinen and eight aldermen. the local limit
We believe, would answer all purposes, and
cut out ward line chickering's and delays In
counomanic action.
Norfolk is not city OF graft. but its NUM-
cipai machinery is cum bersome and lacks d.
rectness. The present Board of Control system
is unfair to the board as 1t is to the city.
There should be any question as to
where authority lies for any municipal action

lice and criminal and vicious Institutions?
What about the white slave trafhc? What about
the open Sunday? What about the election
frauds. graft and general political corruption.
for which the greatest city in the world has
been conspicuous above all others? 1t is true
that there are statutes covering some OF these
offensos, but the enforcement OF them is noto-
riously lax.
IL the aldermen OF New York are sincere in
their desire to reform their city they have
certainly started at the wrong end and have
singled out the least of the ofrenses and evils.
They have strained at gnat and are gulping
down camels.
Another instance of this same ridiculous ten
dency is seen In the recent edct of the Navy
Department prohibiting the OF chewing gum
in the service. 1t is to laugh We imagine
that the gentlemen who issue orders and ad-
minister discipline for the department could
find more serious directions In which to be-
gin their reform campaign both among the Of
fcers and the men If they were to look for
them; and they would not have to look very
far or very long.
