NOrfoik-Southern building to state
(nD,n

TO the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--ln your issue of April there
appears an article under the caption,
state Camp Site May 10 Abandoned"
III which also appears the statement
that the military officers are displeased
with the proposition made by the Nor
folk-Southern Railroad and further
that the progress made by the railroad
is unsa tisfactory.
AS the proposition for the location
of the camp site at Virginia Beach was
initiated by this board and was fol-
lowed by 1t, step by step. until the final
arrangements with the State Military
Board were made, it is only fair that
your readers should he advised from
this office OF the actual conditions gov
crning the connection OF the Norfolk
Southern Railroad with the proposition
When the state Military Board finally
accepted the Virginia Beach location
in the spring OF 1910. under conditions
agreeable to that hoard, it was stated
that the State had on hand at that time
some $4,000, available for camp site
purposes, and 1t was agreed in the
presence of representative of this
commission and of the Norfolk South
crn Railroad that the railroad would
not be required 10 spend one cent on
transportation and terminal facilities
as outlined in tho arrangement, until
the entire $4,000 had been expended
by the State in preparing the site for
occupancy. The railroad was obli-
gated. under the agreement to install
u spur track 10 the camp site and to
build n terminal station there, at n
cost not to exceed 100000, this work
TO be begun at such time as tho State

Praises Jusficc Jnhn.

Say what one may, Justice John J.
Crutchfeld, Of Richmond. comes about
as near dealing out the true brand of
justice as any Judge in tho State. The
other night, in Richmond, Il policeman
arrested n man who was waiting for a
train, and despite the fact that the
man arrested did not display friendly
relations with the policeman, Justice
Crutchheld reprimandcd the officer and
told him that private individuals had
rights that had to be respected The
offenso charged against the man under
arrest was that he failed to move on
when ordered by the policeman so to do.
and the reason he did not move was
because he was on the street at the
railway station, waiting for the de-
parture Of his train Justice Crutch-
field does not believe I'm UNFOLDING "A
policeman when he is in the wrong
any more than he believes in upholding
II private citizen. and this is entirely
correct.-Cllfton Forge Review.

in remaining. That there are only
eighty-five vacancies this year out oi
nearly seven hundred positions for
American teachers in the service in
dicates, as several Of the teachers
who sailed yesterday say, that those
already on the ground have the great
est faith in the future of the educa-
tional work in the Islands.
These new teachers say that their
salary, as well as all the expenses of
the trip, is paid from Philippine rev.
enues, that the federal government
pays no part of the cost Of educa-
ton in the Philippines, notWithstand-
ing the fact that nearly three and
half million dollars are spent each
year on the schools Of the Islands.
When these teachers sailing on the
Mongolia yesterday get ready to re-
turn to the United States, either on
leave of absence or by resignation at
the end of two or three years of serV-
ice, the Philippine government Will
pay them, in addition to salary up
to the last day of service, an amount
Of money sufficient to pay their
transportation home, either Via Eu-
rope or the Pacific, and they all say
they expect to take advantage of the
opportunity to come home through
Europe.
The trip to the Philippines from
here will take about a month, as the
Mongolia is one of the best passeng-
er steamers on the Pacific and stops
en- route at Honolulu, Yokahoma,
X ODE, Nagasaki, Shanghai and Hong
Kong, remaining from one to three
days in each port, thus enabling the
passengers to see something of the
Orient before reaching Manila.
The departure Of a large passenger
steamer from this port for Manila is
always an event to those interested in
our efforts in the Philippines, but
when she takes with her such a large
body of young and enthusiastic edu-
Gators as did the Mongolia yesterday
it means much in our program of Civ
ing to the Orient the very best we
have in the way of opportunity.
