Setting Washington an Example.

The Richmond business men who
came TO Washington in a special train
for the purpose of demonstrating that
Richmond is anxious to develop her
commercial opportunities were most
welcome 1t was an enthusiastic crowd,
which had just completed a tour Of the
principal centers of Virginia and North
Carolina, a trade territory to which
Washington has certainly some claim
In the party were the heads of the va
rious commercial and industrial organ
lzations Of the Virginia capital, and all
were progressive, wide-awake mer-
chants or manufacturers.
About five years ago such an en-
terprlse was conducted by Washing
ton merchants Virginia, West Viz
einia, and North Carolina were visited.
and results, as reported at that time,
were very encouraging. II was con-
fidently predicted that the territory Wis
tied would grow into an important
trade section for our city. A second
train was run, but for at least four
years no concerted action has been taken
to follow up the advantage gained by
those two excursions Some few
houses have increased their trade. bu.
as a whole the advantage has been lost
through inaction
Now comes Richmond and teaches
Washington a lesson. Is it not time
to wake up and cultivate our friends
i'll the South? If we do not, Richmond
will, as is evidenced by her first trade
excursion

Millions for Good Roads.

Highway commissioners OF seven
Eastern States are now on a tour OF
inspection of the roads of New York,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut. and
they are to hold a conference to adopt
plans for the construction of uniform
trunk line roads throughout New York
and the New England States. The
American Automobile Association is
Instrtutlng a campaign which is not to

building shall be an accomplished fact.
At the recent extra session of Con-
gress, Senator Cullom offered bill
calling for the construction of seven
great national highways, between Wash
ington City and Portland. Buffalo,
Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Aus
tin, and Miami.
The Bureau of Roads of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has compiled
figures to show that the aggregate
amount which will be expended by
State and county authorities during this
year in road Improvement will be SI4o-

issue, $I8.oooyooo, New York SIz,ooo.ooo.
Connecticut S2,5ooooo, and Colorado
$Io.ooo,ooo, while Arizona, Texas, Wv
oming, and New Mexico are engaged
in similar legislation. The West has
taken up road building with exceptional
energy. Several of the States have
joined official hands to have a royal

highways in the whole world. A stretch
of about one thousand miles of this
interstate road has been completed, and

Of the Taylor efficiency system in opera
tion at the Watertown (Mass) arsenal
was made to-day by Col c. B. Wheeler,
commandant of the arsenal. before the
Congressional committee investigating
the assertions that the system is detri-
mental to the interests of the employees.

cheney OF the arsenal has been i'm
proved materially. He stated that un-
der the system, the same amount of
work can be done in so per cent less
time than previous to its installation.
He said that the $500 cost of the sys-
tenn can easily be saved by the in
creased efficiency of production.
Frederick W. Taylor. originator of
the system. declared that the system
will result in higher wages, and will
be a material all-around benefit.
On the other hand. representatives Of
the mechanics declared that the men

no wise be a benefit either &c the gov
ernment or the employees.
