people of Richmond could do no better than

MAKES A TEN STRIKE.

Chairman Clyde Radcliffe, of the council
committee on light. made ten strike when
no told the finance committee that it is not
the province of the councilmen to wait for an
uproar before doing something for the city.

and not to wait for them to howl about It,

So II seems to the citizens. It lie not diff

council wishes to do. but when the council
does not wish to take action 1t gives as ex-
cuse the lack of demand The finance COM

FIGHTING TALK.

That was fighting talk that President-Elect
Wilson gave the Southern Society OF New York
ard his constituents at Trenton Tuesday. AS
usual there was no mistaking his meaning.
Those at whom it aimed knew themselves
to be the targets and they knew that the shot
struck the bulls eye. and the force OF the
impact left no doubt in their minds that there
was power behind the bullet
An excitable man. of violent temper may
talk wildly of what he Is going to do to
everybody If somebody does not do what he
wants them TO do. and the only result is a
universal panic, affecting honest business as
much as dishonest business. but when calm,

sunragettes fondly imagine themselves to be,
hits out with unerrng aim the result is diff
ferent Those whose consciences are clear
look on with approval No one is firing at
them, they know, and they are confident that
they will not be hit On the other hand the
human targets who know themselves to be the
targets either seek cover expeditiously or
fooiishly stand up to receive the blow.

REFLECTS SENTIMENT OF STATE.

The declaration OF Senators Martin and
swanson in favor Of the Kenyon-shepard bill
preventing the shipment of liquor from license
into no license states makes practically solid
delegation in congress from Virginia In favor
of the measure.
Senators Martin and Swanson and many Of
the Virginia congressman are record rs
favoring the measure one similar to it and
the two senators reiterated their views at u
hearing Tuesday at which were present many
prominent virginians The position of tho
Virginia representatives in house and senate
is in accord with the sentiment of the majority
OF the people of Virginia. we believe The
Lii is in the interest of State option and Of
local option and'it seems to Us that those who
favor either of these plans for control of the
liquor traffic should support the Kenyon meas
ure There is some antagonism to it on the
part OF those financially interested but there
are few others in this State who have made
known any opposition to it,
After considerable delay the measure has
been given the right OF way In the senate and

evaded by congress And by parliamentary
procedure it's consideration was prevented The
merits OF the bill have not been considered
heretofore. on account of obstacles placed in

COMPLIMENT TO EGGLEsTON.

The selection of Superintendent of Public
Instruction Eggleston for an important post
with the United States department of educa-
ton is distinct compliment to the man and
to virginia. Mr. Eggleston should derive great
pleasure from being selected from among many
other educators for this work and Virginia will
be glad to see one of her officials recognized
in this manner.
Mr.. Eggleston has done good work as super
intendent of public instruction. During his

state OF efficiency. To him and his assistants,
in a great measure, this improvement In our
public schools have been due.

factory to Senators Martin and Swan

MIR. Sinclair for the same position.
This Is because Mr.. Cailahan's Nor

the general manager of the steamboat
company have been here working In

There are Indications also, that Mr.

work Is not yet being done at the

ERECTED at Mr.. Callahan personally.
