WARNING OF a LIMIT,

vice President Marshall's speech in New York

Possibly the State Of Virginia and city of
Richmond have to thank Governor BIease, Of
South Carolina, for good turn. It is entirely
possible that Or S. c. Mitchell would not have
returned here to be president Of the Medical Col
lege Of Virginia had it not been that his position
as president Of South Carolina university forced
him into official and occasional personal con-
tact with the governor, 1t is difficult to imagine
a man to whom such contact would be more dis
tasteful than it must have been to Or. Mitchell
or to think of two men more completely dis
similar than Mitchell and Blease. Probably in
all the many compliments that have been and
are being showered upon the university president
none is stronger than the assertion that he is
different from the governor in every con,
ceivable respect

APPLIES TO THE WHOLE STATE.

While body of Richmond young men are
endeavorinR to increase the qualified vote of
the city it would be wen for other cities and
all counties in the state to take similar action.
It is not only in Richmond that people neglect
the duties Of citizenship 1t is not only in Rich
mond that only one,half of the qualified white
voters are on the registration books and that
only one-third of them vote. What Is true Of
Richmond is true of Norfolk, Newport News,

city In one city there may be larger proper
ton Of voters qualified aud in another there
may be a smaller, but nowhere is the proportion
as 1t should be- For the State as whole about
one-half the eligibles are qualified and fewer
than that number vote

have a wholesome effect. The Virginian knows
of no better way in which young men can serve
