all crossings at grade. That they should be
abolished ultimately IS a fact that not even
the railroads will deny In the end the end
Of the grade crossing will prove remunerative
to the railroads in the sordid' matter of dam
ages besides saving many valuable lives. But
even now, to leave such crossing unprotected
is as close TO criminality as a corporation can
get without being subject to indictment.
"Grossmau's Crossing. where the two little
girls referred TO met their fate, is reliably re-
ported TO be a place of recognized danger.
Trains approach it in a cut which hides them
from the highway. The only protection of the
travelling public is the warning sign inviting

to blow their Whistles when approaching. But

DISPLAYING THE LOAN SHARK.

All Richmond should welcome the newly or
gained society which aims. In a practical
way OF business to supplement for the loan
shark legitimate institution for the aid Of
persons of small means, but established integ-
rity.
We recently had occasion to refer to the sue
cessful fght which has been waged in New
York State against these vampires in human
guise. who get their rich sustenance from the
made possible by poverty Its trade and its
opportunity alike exist only in the presence of
desperation. II is the last resort Of the man
who must have money and knows not where
to get It, Its security consists in the nice
adjustment which it makes between what it
can take OF what man makes without driving
him to Punishment theft or suicide Frequently
1t miscalcuates, and the woman eech who is
Invariably the Secretary OF the shark shrugs
her shoulders as she crosses off the perpetual
principal the eyer-increasng interest OF her
victim. That II has proved possible TO draw
The fangs OF such institution is a triumph
for modern methods of legislation. which we
nope AZ some time 10 see demonstrated IN Nlr-
sinia
In this connection it is interesting to observe
That the victory OF the law over the loan shark
in New York brought about through the
efforts of loan associations analogous to that
which has just been chartered for operation in
Richmond. That is to say, that the reason for
the loan sharks existence was the necessity to
which it appealed Legitimate business hay-
ness took advantage OF it, To kill the loan
shark and 20 prevent it's niquites. something
more than law is needed. There is needed
the institution which will do in a humane way,
for the needy and the forlorn what the loan
office did inhumanely as financial bloodsuckers
