MANY WANT To 60
TO GOLDEN GATE
MIR. WILLIAMS POINTS OUT (MANY)
ARGUMENTS ADVANCED FOR
CARRYING EXPOSITION TO
GOLDEN GATE.

!, Mr.. John SHELTON Williams, who has
just returned from a brief trip to
washington. reports that the sentiment
there at the present time seems to be
inclining towards San Francisco as the
site for the Panama Exposition In 1915.
Congressman Maynard. Of Norfolk"
said Mr.. Williams. 'is being somewhat
criticised for casting his vote in Com
mittee IN favor OF San Francisco, rath-
er than New Orleans. The fact is there
are arguments IN favor OF san Fran
cisco as against New Orleans which is
rather hard to answer. As to imme-
date finance, ii is understood that the
people OF California and san Francisco
are prepared to guarantee to provide,
independent of any government sub
scription. many milnons of dollars
more than have been subscribed as yet
In louisiana. Then again the canal
is regarded as opening the new route
from the east to California, rather than
from California to the east. From an
educational standpoint ii is claimed
that those attending the Exposition In
San Francisco viii. going and coming
have the opportunity of beholding
great wonders In the way of natural
scenery which are inspiring, elevating
and educational In their influences
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado, Yellow
stone Park, the passes of the Rockies,
Yosemite Valley. the wonderful de-
velopments Of irrigation, upon which
the government Is now spending tens
Of millions of dollars, etc, etc.--and
that travellers will return from the
west with a stronger patriotism and a
greater love of their country than ever
1t is also claimed that railroads of the
country will probably. as whole. de-
rive as much revenue, IL not more. from
the Exposition IL held In San Francis
co If held in New Orleans, although
the Exposition in San Francisco will
call many thousands of travellers thtth~
er who will take the newly opened
route through the Panama Canal for
California from our Atlantic and Gulf
ports, and there will probably be
twenty times as many, passengers who
viii patronize the canal route in going
to the Exposition IL held In California
as there would be IL the Exposition
should be held in New Orleans. Per-
sonally, as Southern man, / should
be glad TO see New Orleans win the
prize. but / am not surprised to find
Congressman Maynard and other Con-
sressmen yielding to the force of the
arguments put forth by the Califor-
mans"

TARIFF COMMISSION.

Means Committee of the House should be shar-

The grand jury investigation of the affairs Of
the defunct Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust
Company, in Alexandria and indictment of it's
president for making false entries on the books
or causing them to be made, emphasized the
need for more stringent banking laws in this
State, or more rigid enforcement of those al
ready written. 1t is not enough that the State
Bank Examiner go into bank and look over
final reports made by the officers of bank. The
rights of depositors demand that the books be
carefully and thoroughly examined and the
accounts made to balance. or some action be

CHARACTER IN PUBLIC LIFE.

Y Governor Woodrow Wilson's poom for Presi-
Iation of James Smith, il. aspirant to the ofioe
Of United States senator from New Jersey.
DIR. Wilson made his campaign for the COVER
norship on the platform of honesty and fair
dealing In politics He openly disclaimed any
allegiance 10 political cliques or professional
politicians and declared the people should rule
the State in the event OF his election. He
elected TO correct abuses and evils which the
people in the "skeeter" state believed had too
long existed. He chosen to reform cond
fions: to keep the public hand on the govern
mental throttle and see that the will of the peo
pie Was carried out
From the outset of the fight for the United
States senatorship he has supported J. E. Mar
tine, for whom the people OF the State expressed
q preference, against Mr.. Smith, and he has
kept his faith admirably. His opposition to
Mr. Smith relentless. and his avowed deter
mination TO stand by the peoples choice has
been carried out to the letter, Mr.. MARITIME on
the first ballot received sufficient votes in the
Legislature to show ANY other aspirant the
folly OF further struggle. The victory was DR..
Wilson's rather than Mr. Marines, and the
scholar in politics has proven his worth and
given the people of his State and the country a
fair criterion by which to Judge him.
The man who will stand by the voter and see
that the latters wish is abided by and his will
carried out in the selection OF men to admins
ter affairs, is In the asaendancy now. His star
has always been bright, but 1t has shone in the
distance Governor Wilson has introduced into
public life an element which it has long needed
In certain States. That element is character

NORFOLK HIGHWAY.

A splendid stroke of business was the decision
OF those good roads enthusiasts who arrived at
a determination to set to work early in the
spring and build an improved highway between
Richmond and Norfolk.
These sixty or more men, from Richmond,
Norfolk Newport News, williamsburg and
the counties on the Peninsula of Virginia, were
different from ether good roads advocates in that
they did not content themselves with enjoying
sumptuous luncheon and talking about the
benefits which would be derived from such
highway. They assembled for business, got
down to it right at the jump and before they
adjourned ways and means of constructing the
model thoroughfare were devised.
The plan evolved was to call upon the super
City Henrico and the otner counties, whose peo-
pie will be UNNECESSARILY benefited by the
structon of the road, to contribute the total
road tax for entire year toward the building
OF this highway Representatives Of the coun-
ties upon which this call will be made were
there and acquiesced in the plan. The counties
are willing to make the contribution for the
OF using a dollar here aud dollar there to re-
pair highway gulch in an isolated section.
The latter should be improved as soon as posi-
BILE. but it Is best to construct the main artery
first SO as to serve incentive for the build
ing of the minor This plan Is far more
scheme. which frightens of many good man
who advocates improved and passable highways.
Within the next year automobile can make
the trip from Richmond to Norfolk in an hour
and half The farmers living in the counties
through which the road will run will be put in
closer touch with the outside world, and the
Peninsula interests will be developed as only
they can be by means of a good road making
it possible for those living there to get away,
and those anxious to go there TO make the trip
In comfort and reasonable time.
The antagonism of the farmer to the automo.
bilist. who takes the cement from road and
frightens horses, is well known, and must be
reckoned With. The road to Norfolk will be a
farmers road primarily, and autoists thor
oughfare secondarily. The autoists have de-
cared their Willingness to contribute literally
to the building of the road They and the farm
should work together, and the williamsburg
meeting shows they viii In addition to the
county contributions, a number of substantial
individual subscriptions will be made. The road
will be constructed of clay and sand, said by
experts to make one of the best highways posi-
bic to construct The ccst will be most mode

With twenty-eght miles of the road already la

start April LIST on the completion OF the other
sixty miles. and thus link the States two great

The Richmond Manufacturers Exhibit has
been Endorsed by the capital city business men,
and the committee chosen to enlist the moral

The exhibit will work wonders for manufactur-
ing Richmond, and it's benefits will be felt not
only by the atty at large but each individual
exhibitor The exhibit should be opened at an
early date.

ject Thus far the subject has been handled BY
high and low tariff theorists. The commission
will deal with this complex economic subject In
an intelligent fashion ami give the public some
intelligent thought on the matter. The COM
missions function will lie to determine by in
vestigation and calculation what the tariff in all
instances should be, and good sound, substan-
tiai and logical reasons will be given for the
recommendation of decreases, increases, or the
total abolition of duties articles.
The Tariff Commission cannot make laws, but
IL can show the reason for the making OF tariff
schedules Its suggestions and recommends
tons will be made solely with view of equity
and correction of evils against which the pub
lie of America has long howled.
Mr. Tafts satisfaction is probably based in
no little measure on the belief that the commits
sion will report that the Payne-Aldrich bill has
the proper schedules in it. The President may
have another laugh coming after the commits
sion has made some little Investigations abroad.
