THE RICHMOND SPIRIT ILLUSTRATED.

III
Were a stranger to ask the secret Of Rich
r,ona's rapid growth and Of her solid business
development the man who knows would probably
responed that tho spirit Of cooperation among
her citizens is the one greatest FORCE back OF
It all He would probably reply that team work
has done more than anything else to give Rich
ppond its present position among the cities of the
South. BY acting together her people have been
able to secure the full fruits OF her natural ad-
Yantages.
An illustration Of this cooperative spirit in
Richmond Is the agreement Of the retail mer-
chants 10 have their fall openings simultaneous
w. At the first blush such announcement may
have appeared to be Of interest only 10 those
who will attend these openings. and the average
business laboring and professional man prob
ably glanced at the headlines in the newspapers
and then turned 10 the market, sporting news
or editorial page as fancy or inclination die
tated II be thought about It at all he probably
decided Ia show II to his wife, or concluded
that If properly conducted these openings would
attract a few visitors to the city. 1t probably
never occurred to him that here was another evil

Illustration of that quality Of cooperation which
has done SO much for the city.
But, after ALL that is the real meaning of the
decision ct the retail merchants to have their
fall openings at the same time. They themselves
thought, with that enlightened selfshness which
Is the real public spirit that such policy would

70 their stores and that 1t would enable people
In The nelehboriug towns and cities tc
make d trip TO Richmond especially 10 attend
these openings They reasoned that many who
would Hike to shop in Richmond when the fall
season opened but who had been prevented
by the irupoasibiHty Of attending them all and
by the knowledge that It was not worth while
10 make a trip for one opening, would now
find such s. trip profitable Nevertheless, It al
goes deeper than this That these merchants
should have seen these things and after seeing
should have been able TO act together mean:
much to them and to the city. But for team
work action could not have followed upon
coq,eeption But for a willingness to work. to
gether the idea would have died still born.
That Is the spirit Of Richmond and II Is tina
spirit that has made and IS making this a create

A SPIRIT OF COOPERATION NEEDED.

The question which is agitating the minds Of

reports say that $40 civilians and for
ty-five policemen were seriously hurt

sides that Irish passions have been

gestions of the bankers will be adopted. II
does mean however. that the committee will

With all this, The Tirginiqn canno: subscribe

wholly relating to the business of handling
money, and something which members of con.
gress If they but study the question. can grasp
almost. If not quite, as easily as bankers. 1t
seems To he taken for granted that men who
have devoted their lives to the study of the
business Of the public know less about it than
mon who have devoted the time to the business
of themselves. but there are many men in con-
eress who know as much of currency as any
banker in the nation and some of them, as
strange as many may think are on the cur
