Richmond, Va.
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old SlWash.o

~ edmond, is one of the most
popular cities in the world.
IN This can be easily proved by the
fact that half a million men spent four
years trying to get into it.
Richmond began life as the capital of
Virginia, and in 1861 was promoted to
be the capital of COnfederaey. This was
fine advertising for Richmond, but it
was hard on its constitution. Much of
the wear and tear of the arguments be-
tween the Union and Confederate can
non is still visible.
When Richmond emerged from the
war it was the best known city in the
south. For many years it was content
with this fame. Late however, Rich
mOnd has adopted chamber OF com
merce, annexation and other ideas. As
a result it has grown to be a city of $780,
600 people and only sleeps at night.
Richmond was first thought of in
1915 and was laid out a hundred years
later. It has many fine new buildings,
but the Richmond citizen does not tow
the gasping stranger down Main street
to look at the near sky serapers. He
takes him to see the 125 year old capt.
tol building and the us year old St
Johns church, where Patrick Henry

OF the alleged telephone monopoly on
the Pacific coast by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, the So
called Bell Telephone trusts sought

Oly in Oregon, Washington, Montana

law
It is declared that the suit viii not

ton proposed by the interstate com
merce commission into the general tel

ing competition or whether monopoly

the Northwestern Long Distance Tele-
phone company, the Interstate COnsOli-
dated Telephone company and the In

SPARING THE ROD

''Spare the rod and spoil the child
is a maxim which has been thrown into
the scrap heap by latter day educators
and parents. but there are signs that
the discarding of the admonition has
proved the truth of the aphorism.
What would have been thought a gen.
GRAFTON ago of a strike of school chill
dren? In the last few years this
method of expressing disapproval has
become so frequent as to cause no sui
prise. Instead of the teachers running
the schools, in some instances the pu-
pills have to be reckoned with. almost
as one house of the Legislature recog-
nizes another.
1t is not that the ends sought are not
highly desirable. for in some cases they
doubtless are; but the school children
are not the ones to take the matter i n
hand this way. Parents should be
alive to the situation and by joint
efforts bring about needed reform.
