The effects Of the great drouth Of this
summer, which has ended only in limited
sections of the country, have already made
themselves felt in a serious way In the
shape OF price advances. Vegetables Of all
kinds now cost from two TO four times as
much as In normal summers. while milk
prices have been advanced in most parts
OF the country The situation confronting
the working people Of the cities during the
winter Is most serious one; and move

SERENE AGAIN AT THE V. p. /.

We feel confident that the public was pleased
to read In the newspapers yesterday morning
that the board OF visitors OF the Virginia Poly
,echnic Institute had adopted resolution. the
purport of which is To vindicate pr. Paul Ii.
Barringer, president of the Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute from the charges recently pre-
eented by ita subcommittee. and commencing
the work now being done at the institution.
The Virginia Polytechnic Institute occupies
too large a position in the educational in
,erests Of the State to have its work hampered
and it's reputation endangered by lack of har-
monv ard corporation in the management of
the institute and by such lack OF discipline
as may cause such conditions to arise as to
affect tb, standing and usefulness OF the school.
Thorough. teaching amid wholesome sur
rourdinrs ii the need OF the hour anu The
Richmond Virginian is glad to learn that the
avis complained of have been remedied IN
the estimation of the board, and We sincerely
Trust that the institution may increase in use
fitness until it shall have LETT nothing to be de-
sired.
There is one sentence however in the reso-
luton to which We think the press OF the state
may very properly take exception 1t READS as
follows: The board records the fact tnat the
sensational charges of countenancng immorality
in the institution contained in certain newspaper
publications against the presiueht Oh 'fe instr
tuition are without foundation.
SO far rs observation goes the newspapers
have been exceedingly conservative III the
handling of the allegations made against Dr'
Parringer. We know of no publication which
has been made which has not been fuzzy war
ranted by the character of the allegations made
and by the sweeping nature of the charges we
are glad 10 have the boards assurance that
there is no foundation to the charge mentioned
but to intimate that the newspapers are 10 oe al
all criticised for publishing the fact that such
charge was made Is not fair to the press. we
do not understand the board TO mean to assert
that no such charge was made
