PROGRESSIVE WITH BRAKES ON.

There are several ways in which the large
yote cast in Virginia for the Democratic ma
.ional candidates and the increase over the
vote of 1912 may be explained Theories to
eccoun, for majority of $4,000 for Wilson
against a majority of 10000 for Bryan over

opinions and desires of the theorizers. Vir'

State financial interests to Bryan the fact THAI
Wilson is native of Virginia, the split i'll
The Republican ranks are some of the causes
that will probably be advanced.
The truth viii be more nearly reached
probably by discountng each one of these
reasons and adding the balance together. with
half a dozen other minor operating causes
thrown in for safety's sake. 1t is our opinion
that two OF the causes given here were more
potent than all the others combined. That
Wilson is native OF Virginia and that the
conservative Democrats could more easily
bring themselves to vote for Wilson than for
Bryan, especially as their prejudice point
Democratic-ward anyhow, undoubtedly helped

The Master to whom the prayers will ascend

Government Credit To Cities.

Editor of The Virginan:
S.r.-Is there any good reason why the gov
eminent should not lend the credit of govern
ment TO the States cities and counties Of the
nation for public works? Suppose the city of
Winston wished to spend million dollars
for public works. for streets. gas plant, an
electric power plant, municipal dairy, water
from the Yadkin and deposit with the govern
ment her bonds for that much. and the gov
eminent issue the money needed for the
work and the city pay back the money issued
to her out of the taxes collected in twenty an
nual instruments, the government charging only
the necessary cost of printing the currency
needed; and the payments were-made the
bonds would be destroyed and the money Issued
against them retired from circulation
The government could have its representa-
tives Il see, that the work was needed. and that
IL was properly and economically done, and
that the city had the taxable property from
which 10 paw the principal and the necessary
expenses? Why not?
