RICHMOND IS HOST.

Richmond welcomes with heartiest
feelings the visitors to the State Fair.
The doors are open and every man.
woman and child this week has the
keys OF the city. Whatever hospitan-
ty and good will can do to make our
guests have a good time will be done.
The city Is proud to act as host for
the whole State. and have its share in
helping the progress and prosperity
Of all of Virginia. The fair belongs
to the State. just as Richmond does.
and together they are going to serve
the State. There will be no outsid-
ers this week. 1 is homecoming time.
The exhibits have been gathered
with the idea Of showing virginians
the wealth and Importance OF their
home land. They will afford impress.
sive evidence Of the vast material re-
sources OF the Old Dominion. They
will prove an inspiration and a just
source Of pride. Their educational in
fiuence will be Of profound Importance.
BY comparing methods and learning
new ones, BY exchanging ideas and
experiences. by viewing the achieve
ments in every line Of agriculture and
manufacture and by studying the prac-
teal demonstrations Of improved i'm
PIGMENTS. the visitor cannot fail to
carry away some hint that will profit
his own industry. In this connection
it should be noted that a fair is no
longer merely an agricultural exposi-
ton. It aims to improve the living
conditions Of all the people. The value
Of all State activities is a part Of its
lesson. The importance Of women in
the common life has been emphasized,
and among the most interesting fea-
lures of the entire exhibit will be
those devoted to feminine achieve
ments.
The carnival feature has not been
forgotten. a hundred amusements
have been provided. There will be no
dull hours. In addition to the spe-
cial features. Richmond offers all its
pleasures to its guests The homes
and hearts Of her people welcome the
whole State

There has been some talk OF the
subsection in which many OF these USE

that anything approaching the padrone
system is in vogue has been denied
by the Hellenic societies and leaders
and the apparently contented and
prosperous air OF the youths them
selves strengthens the denial.

The franchise as at present framed
does not contain provisions that IN

In the opinion of the city's counsel.
some OF its provisions will be ex-
tremely difficult to inforce. 1t puts
the burden Of proof upon the city and
not upon the possible holders OF the

The Times-Dispatch urges the coun-

THE OUTLOOK IN CHINA.

Dr. Morrison. the political adviser Of
China, who. It is generally conceded.
knows about as much, II not more,
about the country than any other
Occidental. dispels in a recent inter
view many illusions regarding the
internal situation there. According to
Dr. Morrison, the condition is not one
of chaos socially. politically or imam
cially. Contrary to the representa-
tions Of many, the outlook he consid-
ers exceedingly bright.
Trade. he says. has reached a rec
ord: the soldiers who used to prey
upon the country when dismissed PEN
niless from the army now receive their
zens: no one desires the return of the
Manchus. because every one recognizes
the difference between gross rapacity
and sincere attempt to govern decently:
daily newspapers and cheaper tele-
grams carry enlightenment through
out the land: the Christian calendar
has been oflcially adopted. Sunday is
accepted as a day Of rest. and the pep
pie are spending their evenings in
large measure In reading, since they
are no longer driven to the soIacing
use Of opium.
DR.. Morrison admits that it is essen
.tial 70 the continued progress and gen.
eral pacifcat.on and complete uninca-
ton Of China that she have a strong
central government, financed by the
powers and controlled by them through
1.-THE medium Of finance" But he draws
. distinction between central govern
ment through that medium and the
political medium. More than that. he
ahrms that China does not need the
amount Of money the six-power syn.
dicate was so anxious to advance her
DR.. Morrisons exposition simply

TREATING coNvIcrs AZ MEN.

Oregon's experience In handling her
convicts contains profitable lessons
for other States. Formerly revolt was
common within the walls OF the State
prison. house. The inmates were dis
contented and rebellious. The oregon
penitentiary created an annual deficit
Of $4,000.
Eight months ago Governor Oswald
West. a former carpenter. installed
an honor system among the convicts
in his State. and it has worked with
remarkable success.
Under the Oregon plan. convicts are
supplied with some incentive to do
good work. Unguarded. they are sent
away to other State institutions to
work. They are employed on the
roads. gang was lately sent from
a distance Of 200 miles without .
guard. when they reached their des-
tination. they pitched their tents and
went to work, and are still at work.
Each man. before his departure. gave
his word Of honor that he would not
attempt to escape. and that he would
prevent others from escaping. So
they are their own keepers and the
keepers Of their fellows.
The men employed on the road are
paid by the municipalities and coun-
ties requiring their services. The
convicts employed at the insane
asylums. tuberculosis sanitoriums and
schools earn 81 per day. OF
which each worker gets IS cents. The
men placed on the honor roll are the
men OF good department who have
earned good treatment.
Under the honor system Of handling
convicts. the deficit which has always
burdened the taxpayers heavily has
been converted into q substantial sur
plus. Last year the honor system
made $4,000 above all expenses. and.
in addition. supplied $4,000 worth Of
bricks to various other State 1nsti-
tutions
So well has the plan worked out
that Governor West has placed much
confidence in q number OF individuals.
One of these was serving a life SEN
tence for murder. His aged father
in-law and mother-in-law mortsaged
their home to get him q lawyer. The
Governor heard that the mortgage
was about to fall due. and that the
aged and infirm couple would probably
lose their home. He called In the
convict and told him that he might
have his liberty long enough to lift
the mortgage. At the end OF six
months the convict returned to the
having paid on the mort
gage. and having vindicated the conf
dence placed in him
