SOME REALLY GOOD ADVICE.

Instead of expanding their mental energies
upon Woodrow Wilson, the multitude of ad-
visers as to the change about to be made in
the national government result of last
weeks election should concentrate their activi-
ties upon the members OF the Sixty-third Con-
gress, about the most fit subjects in the coun-
try for political advice" wisely observes the
Manufacturers Record. The Record has good
deal to say In It's editorial along the same line
and to the same point that Is mighty good ad-
the surest way to weaken the administration
lof President Wilson and its boundless posi-
bilities for the welfare OF the country Is Ito
permit some so-called leaders without quail
fication for beneficial leadership and without
reason for leadership OF any kind save long
tenure of congressional Office, to embarrass the
president by wrangies over appointments to
Office or over mere measurement of relative
strengths, for home consumption, and to bring
turmoil to the country by seeking to advance
legislation based upon ignorance of economic
laws and lack of knowledge of actual facts Z"
| The Manufacturers Record doesn't often go
cut of Its way to talk politics, but when IT does
it most usually drives home some pointed,
practical Truths

Ford's Hotel. Let 1t erect on that site a build
ing the counterpart of. or one in harmony
with. the City Hall. Let 1t be such building
in which some of the courts may be removed
and In which additional Offices may be placed.
One of the crying needs is for larger and
ir'p proved police headquarters. In the offices
which the police now have there is tremen-
dous lack OF room. There is but little privacy
for the police practically none for the detec-
tives, and absolutely no room for the custody
of prisoners held by the detectives.
AS in larger cities and in cities OF the same
size as Richmond, there private desks for
each detective, rooms In which prisoners and
suspects may be examined, cells in which. If
necessary, they may be placed. In the pro-
posed new building there will be ample room.
II is to be hoped the city will take advantage
Of its purchase and build for the morrow. AS
cities go, Richmond is fairly free from crime,
but Notwithstanding. Richmond needs better
quarters for her police and more room for her
courts.

occurred to him that IL is sucn characters as
the Aliens that make it unsafe for the people
of some communities TO go unarmed?
Floyd Allen had declared that ne would

WEEK TO DE NOTABLE

Thanksgiving week promises to be a notable
period in Richmond's history. On Tuesday
the 26th, the great Democratic Wilson jubilee
will take place; Wednesday night the big con-
cert will be held at the auditorium; Thursday
the annual football game between the univer
sites OF Virginia and North Carolina will take
place. and Friday and Saturday the automobile
race meet will be held. The railroads will
grant low rates, and doubtless Richmond will
have as many strangers within her gates as
quality of Richmond hospitality will not be
strained II there are twice that many. The
idea now is for everybody to pull together and
make all of these attractions notable successes
