VIEWS OF THE

Mr.. Flood on Stanton.

THE people Of Stanton. Va. the
birthplace OF President-elect Woodrow
Wilson. arc greatly pleased that Gov.
Wilson honored them with a visit, and
they are congratulating themselves
on the fact that. although the city
entertained the largest crowd that per
haps ever gathered there. they did not
ovcrcharge their guests said Repre-
sentative Hal ID. Flood. of West APP
pomaffox. who represents the Tenth
Virginia District IN Congress.
Ordinarily the people of any com,
nunity take advantage Of large crowds
TO raise prices. but with true Virginia
bospttality stanton welcomed her
guests. gave them the keys to the city.
and made them feel at home Though
the hotels were crowded 20 the limit.
and the rooms taken in advance. there
was not one that advanced prices.
Rooms could be had for $50 a day, and
food prices remained as they had been.
The city was decorated In gala attire

the merchants and others did not at

REDUCING SIMPLICITY TO
ARSITRDITY.

In the ondeavor to effect economy
and simplicity in government there
is point beyond which il is absurd
and useless TO go. This boundary
was not observed in the objection
offered by Representative Prince OF
Illinois. a Republican. to the proposal
of Representative Hay. OF Virginia, to
provide in the military bill for military
aides to the President.
In letter to Mr.. Hay, who Is
chairman of the House Committee
on Military Affairs. President Taft,
for his successor and not for himself,
requested that military aides be pro-
vided by law for the President. He
said that in the past Presidents, as
commanders-in-chie of the army and
navy, had the benefits of aides, but that
he thought it best that they be pro-
vided by law.
Representative Prince grounds his OBJ
lection on the contention that the
demand for military aides is simply
fiunkeyism. His objection prevented
a vote on Chairman Hays proposal.
but il is generally believed in Washing
ton that the authority recommended
by the President will be conferred in
the military bill when it comes to the
Senate.
The Savannah News correctly views
the objection as "a little too much sim
plicity," for. If the authorizing of
military aides imposed a money bur
den on the government. Mr.. Prince
would have some reasons for his OBJ
lection. but as we understand it, the
aides will cost the government moth
ing All that is asked is that prac-
tice of long standing shall be legalized-
Representative Prince knew this, and
it Is pertinent TO inquire whether his
combe for consumption by his con-
stituency. The idea OF aides smacks
Of funkeyism" was the only argument
that he could advance.
The aide protects the person OF the
President: he serves him In countless
ways in doing things that it would be
awkward or undignifed for the Presi-
dent to do. He relieves the President
of attention to minor details. especially
when he travels; ne sees to it that the
President Is not subjected TO annoyance
from cranks and other Objectionable
people II the President desires an
aide he should have one; the army can
get along with one captain or major
less in the field. and the people do not
consider that the transfer of an officer
from regular duties to the side of the
President results in appreciable loss
20 the national defense.

A New Champagne Peril.

This country is facing another cri-
sis. This awful news has just leaked
out. via New York, that on account
of the shortage of the grape crop
this year there is going 10 be cham
pange famine. Many families will be
caught without a drop of champaign
in the house Thus it is that the Sc
robustness Of the crisis manifests it
self.
1t is the first time this has happened
for many years and the pubic VIII
hardly know how to meet the new
conditions. There have been famines
in the luxuries of life, such as bread
and coal, but never in such necessity
of the poor as champagne. There is
some question as to how the new battle
ships will be christened, and the cham
papne famine may prove great set
back in this respect. The United States
can hardly afford to drop from second
or third place TO seventh or eighth on
account of a scarcity of cham payne,
and il seems as though the administra-
ton would bestir itself to find remedy.
When one stops to consider the I'M
told suferings that the shortage or
champagne will cause in the poverty
of stricken districts along the Great
White Way and of the misery that will
prevail among the Pittsburgh million
aires and the chorus girls the true mean
ing of the situation becomes apparent
But let everyone remain as calm as
possible and il may turn out that the
reports concerning the grape crop
failure have been exaggerated.

HOUSEKEEPING FOR THE PUBLIC,

Most municipal business means mere
lv housekeeping for the comfort and
convenience Of the public. The mod
ern viewpoint toward city is that it
is one big community home for its
citizens, and that it should be taken
care of so that the inmates will be
happy. Here in Richmond, as the town
grows, we are learning that it is not just
a chance collection of isolated houses,
but "A big house of which the indiVid-
uals are part. We see that maybe a
third of our time is spent outside our
private domains in this larger region OF
1.-The city" and it is being realized that
to make this time comfortable we must
attend 10 our municipal housekeeping
Recently two proposals that would
make living easier have been made
one TO have the street car company
erect shelters at various heavily travel
ed transfer points. SO that passengers
might be protected from rain and cold
and at least have place to sit down IN
instead Of waiting on an exposed cor
ner. Such places would be of service
TO perhaps every citizen in the course
of a month, and would be comparatively
inexpensive. They are clements OF
municipal housekeeping, Just as the
provision of comfortable chairs Tor
guests is a. duty of a good housekeeper.
Public comfort stations for cleanliness,
sanitation and convenience are recog-
nized parts of the outdoor equipment
of every progressive city. They are
needed in Richmond and should be in
stalled at once.
Aside from the comfort OF the people.
this year will give a new reason for
providing these essentials for the city
house We will entertain at conventions
of various sorts during the coming year
between 5000 and 10000 visitors. The
on conventions are usually
and from communities
where progress is rapid They will ex-
pect in Richmond the same type of
service they have found at home or IN
other cities of the same size. They VIII
want to feel at home in the city house
as well as in the private houses of their
II is time that We consid-
cred the needs of these people, and
made our municipal hospitality In
little things as fine and persuasive as
il Is in larger ones Clean streets,
traffic policemen. good car service,
street signs, shelter hcases. public
comfort stations, all will help 10 show
the guest that Southern hospitality
and good housekeeping extend 70 the
very city gates.

WISE APPROPRIATION.

Of Domestic and Foreign Commerce

"a step towards more intelligent and

the Missouri ham is frequently served

it is d dietary article of great merit.

The truth is that a ham of ideal
quality may be produced almost any

advantage lies IN the skill which long

the makers of them. which skill has
fairly won a reputation Throughout
the country and across the seas. The
happy result is that numbers OF Viz
