DAY and night breathing the purest air that ever
man breathed. The children are amusing them
selves In many ways, there are swings and
hanmocks where they can enjoy themselves
and they seem to be getting all the pleasure out
OF these that can be gotten There are two
dorm1tories. one for men and one for women

result will be that many will have trip to the
country this summer. who never had 1t before
This week those in charge OF the work. pur-
pose to send out thirty persons who will
enjoy the camp for two weeks, after which
time they will return to their homes and others
will take their place. at the camp.
1t would be well for those who have not con-
trbuted to this work. which is In charge Of Ad
jutant Virgins. of the Salvation Army. to take
the Petersburg electric car and go out to the camp
and see what is being done, and then open their
pocket books and help We must not forget
that 1t takes money to carry this and all other
good work. 1t is hoped that this article may
reach the eye and the heart Of some. who

sweet Evidently he is trying to discover tho
effect of his preaching by resort to base and
daring perversion of our recent editorial We
proceeded to the story just where the editor OF
the Inder-AppeGI clips off the balance of the ed
itorial. What travesty on journalistic ethics!
No wonder that DR.. Few. In North Carolina, and
DR.. Dodd, In Virginia, are after the press.
But We have protited by the sermon of preach
er Harris, and we are not going to get rufded.
Charity inclines to the view that a temporary
seizure of envy, because of the marvellous
growth and progress of Richmond, inspired this
fling and we belieye that the Inden-Appea1 is
already clothed in sackcloth and ashes-an abb

THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AGAIN.

When the offer Of the Memorial Hospital was
made to the city by the Charlotte Williams Hos
pital Corporation this paper stated tuat from
layrnans standpoint this generous eift should
be accepted. We asserted our opinion that the
conditions imposed were fair and liberal and
such rs would guard and guarantee the future
good management OF the institution
II seems, however. that certain coIneilmen
think otherwise. The basis OF the Question
and in this they supported by some OF the
dairy papera~-4s the condition that Ave Of the
trustees of the institution shall be originally
appointed by the present corporation and shall
he selfperpetuaung. The contention is that this
condition would give ownership. hu. not con-
troll, to the city.
Messrs. L. l. Beniiss and Eppa Hunton, Jr,
OF the present Hospital Board, In public state
ment, explains that this condition was ipmosed
with the view OF preventing the hospital ever
coming under the domination Of political parties
and being controlled for political ends We quite
agree with them in the wisdom OF this Our
educational institutions. charitable agencies.
our municipal hospitals, should be as far re-
moved from political control as possible Tha
HISTORY Of such Stats and municipal institutions

under political domination has frequently been
that of ignorant mismanagement and sometimes
gross scandal Such institutions should be gov
erned IN the interests of their benefeiaries by
experts in their respective iields-men who can
give efficient and economical administration OF
their aTars-and should not be exposed to the
dangers Of political manipulation. or course
abuses are possible in either event, but our con-
yIction is that there is less liability to misman-
agement and scandal when the institution Is
divorced from politics.
II this is the only objection to the proposed
glft, we can see nothing in this condition that
would make the hospital offer appear gold
brick or white elephant" And, for the life
of us, We can not understand why such a hue
and cry should be raised against il. IL 1t were
a onmey- making institution and profits were to
accrue from the management OF it. it would be
easy to understand the desire 10 control the
cipal charity. In the operation of which bene-
fits are to be bestowed and not dividends re-
ceyed. Such being the case, the nature of the
charity is such as TO absolutely demand expert
and scientific supervision, that the greatest
benefit may accrue TO tho community.
What does the corporation propose to do? To
gi4e ia the city-a great institution and to ap-
point citizens TO manage it. When the hospi-
tai becomes the property OF the city. why
should not citizens appointed by the corporation
be equally competent TO supervise its opera
lions as citizens appointed by the Council; and
why should a Councl-born Board Of Trustees
bestow any better municipal control, IL the end
OF that control be solely the relief OF suffering
and the cure OF disease. than the board the cor
poration proposes to create? For ourselves, we
believe the Charlotte Williams Corporation has
only the good of the community at heart, and
we would prefer such governing body as they
propose with the city represented in the per-
sons of the mayor and the chairman OF the FL
nance Committee. than to face the possible fu-
ture danger of the political exploitation of a
great philanthropy.
We repeat what affirmed in our previous
editorial, that the main issues in deciding the
acceptance of the offer are. its immediate fit
ness for the ends desired. and whether Its pre-
! sent equipment win serve the demands of the
/ future. 1t not be the part OF wisdom to at
quire an institution unequipped for or il-adapt-
ed to the needs OF to-day, nor economy to &C
quife hospital to-day that must needs be
abandoned tomorrow.
/ These questions digested and determined
choice should be made accordingly. The public
/ has nothing TO gain by the substitution of polt
ical for professional control

4 GLIMPSE OF THE PAST.

A correspondent sends us editorial from
the pen of Major f. +. Darby. and published in
the Darlington, S. C., Family Friend in 1857.
We reproduce it that new generation may
catch fieeting glimpse of negro life In the old
slave days. There were abuses of the system,
unquestionabiy. but on the whole We suspect
that the abolition Of slavery has worked hard
ship in many upon the negroes. Yet 1t
was the only possible chance of progress for the
coored race. No nation of slaves can ever de-
yelop under the restrictions and limitations OF
freedom brings of development and seif-expres-

CURRENTCOMMENT
WIN pcnnsyIyania Join the Elect?

Governor Wilson said in a speech at Hoboken.
N. j.. the other night that when the people OF
Pennsylvania find the persons to do the things
they want done there win be an earthquake
The Philadelphia North American tells what
that prediction means and upon what it is
founded. 1t says Governor Wilson knows that,
contrary to general belief. Pennsylvania at the
core is radical" and that he Understands per-
fectly how the perversion OF real protection,
FOR the benefit Of special interests In Pennsyl-
vania. has chloroformed a normally right pub
lie sentiment and pigironed civic conscience"
and proceeds to tell how this sentiment is to
be restored to its proper normal condition and
how the civic conscience Is to be reawakened,
1t is to be done by the speeches and teach
ings of such men as Governor Wilson and
Senators Clapp and Owen. all OF whom have
spoken In the State to large and deeply inter
ested audiences, and whose speeches will be
supplemented by those OF La Toilette. Bourne,
Brown, Bristow. Cummins Poindexter, Borah,
Works. Gronna. Dixon, Crawford. Jones, Mur=
dock. Lenroot Cooper and Madison all Of whom
have, engagements either actual or tefYtAtfve to
address Pennsylvania meetings. The North
American describes the avidity with which the
progressive speeches already made were heard
and accepted, and expects great things in the
line Of a political awakening from those that
are to come. 1t says the people hungry
for the new-old gospel Of popular government"
and declares the Surprisingly universal
warmth displayed by Pennsylvania audiences
has given the speakers greater hope than any
other phase OF the campaign" In the light Of
all this 1t asks In conclusion. when thousands
OF supposedly corrupt and contented' Penn
sylvanians' respond in almost every part OF this
State to the mere announcement that pro-
gressve member OF congress is to speak can
there be doubt Of the depth OF the new
spirit demanding popular government, not in
any one section of the country, but throughout
all the land?" All CT which seems to indicate
that Champ Clark's Democratic majority for
Pennsylvania and Governor Wilson's earthquake
are one and tho same. and that both gentlemen
are prophetS-Baltimore Sun.
