Ministers of the Gospel ought not care
lessly thoughtlessly and without in

The question arises. Did the Episcopal
preachers go far enough In their pro-
test against impure marriages? Ought
they not have gone farther and included
in the list of those ineligible for mar
riage people who are insane. idiotic
and degenerate. and may Il not be
added that people OF either sex who
are too young ought not to be united
in matrimonial bonds? Be this as II

TIE WEST END nn1pGE.

Sentiment is growing daily in favor
of careful and serious consideration
OF the advantages of putting UP a
bridge across the James River in the
West End. 1t is suggested that this
Free Bridge at Ninth Street or that a
bridge less expensive than the one now
intended be thrown across from Ninth
and the rest OF the funds spent on II
link between the Forest Hill district
and the western part of Richmond
proper. The latest idea is that when
street car traffic is removed to the new
Mayo Bridge, the present Free Bridge
can be safely employed for several
ing. This would be particularly true
if some of the present car traffic could
be diverted TO a West End bridge.
There is certainly no reason why we
should remain welded TO Ninth Street
as the one point on the river for a
bridge, The ideal process. if Rich
mond favored ideal things, would be

In illustration OF the operation OF

The average immig ration of 100000 a

principally of Galicinns. Bohemians,

ton from Great Britain and Ireland.

countries has been falling off in re-

law it could be greatly increased.

the BILL says;
Frankly. immigrants from Northern
and Western Europe are more to be
desired than those from any other part
OF the world. Most of what is recog-
nized as true Anne rican stock to-day
traces its ancestry to peoples of Great
Britain. Germany and other states of
the same grade. Immigration laws
should be just not only to the home
seeker, but to those whose homes are
to be shared by the newcomers. The
need for stricter regulation is rccog-
nized. Perhaps the Dillingham; pro-
posals Will open the way for a solution.
There is no escaping concurrence in
the propositions that our contemporary
lays down. or from cchoing the hope
implied in it's last se.itance. Whether
the Dillingham; measure is the most
practical and desirable solution of the
problem or not one thing is certain:
IT is directed to remedyinS an evil that
cannot be remedied too soon or too
radically. in the interests Of our in
stitutions, social. political and eco

Thinks II Good Investment.

Hcber ]. Grant, is delighted with the
columns and has taken an unusual inter
est in tho project He figures that the
state cannot make a better Investment
than in giving this splendor to- its capitol
building. The extra cost OF or per
cent should not be considered. especially
as the whole building will cost only about
half as much as the people sepnt on the
a nth OF our present population, and
were worth about ne-hundredth az much
money: and third of the cost anyway
comes from outside inheritance taxes,
Herman Bamberger writes: ''After
careful considera tion, the movement for
the columns Of the state capitol building
to bc made from Barre granite. at an ad-
dltioual maximum cost of s125.000. meets
with my unqualified Endorsement.
p. T. Farnsworth said he supposed they
would cost from $4,000 to $4,000 apiece. but
there was no comparison between them
and a. built up pillar and that II would be
worse than mistake not to have them.
