ton OF heredty and environment, or,
in other words. heredity and education.
Now, II is doubtless true that in GER
tain classes of society the girls are
useful. and many such, though it is
not admitted. are simply burdens to
their fathers as long as they are in
his hands and to their husbands after

parasites, and if thrown upon their

society, alone will be found unequal to
the battle of life--a victim of false
training or, to say the least. made

Appreciates Library Plan OF Times
Dispatch.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-Permit me TO thank you for
your editorial in to-day's paper con-
corning the public library. 1t is n
plan which | have long hoped TO see
in operation AS YOU have clearly
pointed out, it would not only be a
splendid financial investment for the
city. but an Investment in good citizen
ship, which in years TO come would
bear full interest. Richmond has long
been behind other cities in this mat
ter, and the time has come, / believe
when the people of this city should de-
mand that, at any rate. n start be
made towards public library and bet
ter education OF its citizens. Although
! do not live anywhere near the pro-
posed site. l think your plan is an eX
cellent one. and one which will bring
credit upon the city, and l hope you
will keep after it until the people get
what they have wanted for long
time. c. G. w.

HENRICo COMPANY CRUSHED ny
ECONO1IIC LAW.


ECONOMIC LAW.
TIE Richmond and Hcnrico street
Railway Company has gone into bank
luptcy as the inevitable result OF econo-
mic laws. Two competing public
utility companies cannot render the
same service in the same territory and
exist. one will be crushed or absorbed.
In each case the public pays all or part
Of the cost OF reduplicated service
The Times Dispatch desires to point
out and emphasize that this unavoidable
fact was forced home time after time
in these columns about one year ago.

seen. and 10 bring home the lesson

NOT AIMED AT THE PRESIDENT.
Criticism of Patronage Appointments
General, Says DIR. Eliot.

Boston, Feb. 16.-Dr. Charles w.
Eliot, president-emeritus of Harvard
University, was quoted in these dis
patches recently as criticising Presi-
dent Taft for having placed fourth
class postmasters under civil service
rules. DR.. Eliot said to-day he had
been misquoted and explained that,
while he has said that the fourth
class postmasters were patronage
appointees, he had not singled out
President Taft for censure.
He said: The reporters did not
quote me accurately. l did not critl-
else President Taft. l did not men
ton his name. l did say, as quoted,
that the fourth class postmasters are
patronage appointees, but this is not
new to the present administration.
