The South In tho Saddle.

Major j. c. Hemphil we'll known to
the readers of The Times Dispatch, IS
writing some very interesting Wash
ington letters to the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger. In these stirring DAYS
these letters bear mostly on politics
but now and then something of an in
dpstrial character is woven into them
In one OF his letters last week the ma
jor gave a number OF reasons why the
South is in the saddle In the Wilson
regime. one OF which is because of its
industrial and developmental progress
on this point Major Hemphill writes
as follows:
The claim will be disputed OF
course. but ii looks reasonable. or so
the Southerners who are here. inspired
by the purest patriotism. waiting for
me piums TO drop. regard IT. 1t is fur
ther said that because of it's immense
material resources. the South deserves
the most liberal consideration. which
implies, OF course the largest share of
the loaves and fishes.
The South is rich beyond the imag-
nation Of man TO conceive. Last wear
the SISith raised 100000 bales of
cotton. worth $3.50. 1000. 900. II raised
i'm addition. 93,90s.0o0 bushels of oats
s35.6S3O00 bushels of corn and lO5.-
$4,000 bushels of wheat besides
enough sugar to sweeten every cup
or coffee. even to the limit of the third
cup. in the land and enough tea for all
the suffragettes and their masculine
allies in the United States. Besides
these things TO eat and drink. the
mills and mines and forests OF the
South are contributing immensely to
the wealth OF the nation"
Exactly so, and now if the hundreds
and thousands of Southerners who are
making pilgrimages TO Washington to
keep the South we'll seated in the
saddle politically Will give the indus
trial end OF IL all good part of their
attention. Dixie will get more firmly
in the industrial saddle. and that will
beat politics all to flinders.

Bringing the matter right home: 1t
is known that the city OF Richmond
spends goodly sum of money every
year for the cost of teaching retarded
pupils during the extra half year, or
whole year, and in some cases the two
years they require to complete the COM
mon school course.
Each pupil in the graded schools
costs the taxpayers $40 a year. Each
half year child is retarded costs $3.50.
The total cost is simple problem of
multiplication. and the figures are APP
palling
Richmond has an enrolment OF 49,
250 pupils. 80 per cent of whom are
retarded. OF this 50 per cent it is be-
lieved that at least one-half are re-
tarded on account of defects OF a phys
ical nature. and the defective mouths,
1T is said. very largely outnumber all
the other defects
The illustrated lectures OF Dr.
Wheeler. which have been provided for
by the Dental Association without cost
to the public. are intended TO arouse an
interest in the very important matter
presented above.
1t is hard sometimes to instruct and
convince grown-ups. but the younger
ones are impressionable. Hence the
lectures are often to the school chill
dren.
