No More NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

With the passage of Democratic
free trade tariff bill; with wool al
ready selling at fifteen to seventeen
cents per pound. as against twenty
FIVE Acknowledged cents a year ago;
with our great mills running little
better than one-half time and that
on orders accumulated for the last
several months; with the certainty of
a material reduction in the tariff duty
on tin plate, the greatest single
manufacture in the First congresston-
al district, it is not strange that the
thoughtful voters of this section have
made up their minds that this district
at least shall cease to be misrepre-
sented and that they shall send to
Congress a man who will not vote
and by his personal influence help
bring about that legislation that is
necessary for the continued welfare
and prosperity of our citizens.

Hearne's Position.

Always for a protective tariff
that viii give good business ano
good wages"
That is what the Hon. Julian G
Hearne, nominee for Congress, says
about himself. That is where he
stands and where he will continue to
stand.
The position taken by him is truly
American and it is as sound asa new
gold piece.
What does the declaration mean?
Good business is certainly to be de-
sired apd no less desired are good
wages. They go together and are
inseparable. Without good business
there can not be good wages. Bm-
ployer and employee both know that.
Where good wages and steady
work do not exist, mercantile and
all other lines OF legitimate business
cannot be good. Destroy the oppor-
tunity for good wages and good
business is destroyed. Go where
are no work and no wages and you
will find no business.
Poor business means low wages
and low wages mean poor business.
The Democratic position on the
tariff question is to destroy opportu-
nifty for good business in America by
opening American markets to the
world, and necessarily that would
result in less work and lower wages
in America. A consequence of less
work and lower wages would be to
tear down good business and make
it poor or kill it completely.
The candidacy of the Hon. Julian
G. Hearne gives the voters of this
congressional district opportunity to
declare themselves on the vital is
sue. 1t will be up to them to say
whether they want good business
and good wages to prevail.

A POINT OVERLOOKED.

One serious point In the Mexican situation Is
not covered by President Wilson's commendable
policy OF patience and Cancellation. We are
In good and strong position and have made
evidence convincing to the world that we have
no purpose to prey on our neighbor or to profit
by her troubles Yet we have left the way open
for Huerta or the constitutionalists to force
intervention. Either side OF series OF fragrant
outrages upon German or British subjects may
force Intervention. The consideration for us
and respect for our Monroe doctrine manifested
thus far by the powers Is marvellous. Yet condi-
lions may be created which will be intolerabe
and unendurabe The Mexicans have the cum
ming to realize this, and the barbarous disregard
for law and life to act II when their neces-
stiles or interests suggest such action. Already,
1T ia said. have received limitations from
one power that protection for the rights of
foreigners In Mexico must be provided somehow.
OF course. this carries the suggestion that II our
methods Intellectual the governments con-
cerned will feel that they justified in taking
care of their own people. The Mexicans,

States. with power and opportunity to embroil
all the others of us and force strife and dis

PRAISE FOR VIRGINIA PRIMARY.

Notwithstanding the criticisms and sneers di-
rected against the Virginia primary election
laws by some of our newspapers and people,
outside observers seem to think rather well OF
them The Washington correspondent of the
Columbia IS. CO state writes:
The States correspondent herewith presents
an outline of the present Virginia primary law.
which Is the very latest In the United States to
be adopted and which was approved February
IL, 1913. II Is doubtful after a careful exami-
nation Of other State statutes bearing the
primary, whether any other State presents as
many safeguards shown In the Virginia
laws.
In this matter in many others, observation
and consideration will prove that most OF the
adverse comment on conditions and the conduct
of affairs In this State are within her own
borders and that to outsiders she shows fair
and prosperous surface and appears to be we'll
advanced In progress along all lines. It's an
i'll bird that fouls Its own nest. especially when
by the impartial observer the nest Is seen to
be clean and well ordered.

THE THAw CASE.

lawyers and public sympathy fighting for the
prodigal Matteawan will not see him again for
some time II ever. One wonders II. after all,
this fellow has not been sufficiently punished
True, he took the life of felow-man but II
must be admitted that there were palliating cir
cumstances; and. degenerate though he may
be. he has been made to suffer for his rashness
One does not have to travel far to find sympathy
for him. Here in Richmond every other man
received the news of his escape with satisfac
ton,
The best solution Of the problem, to our mind
would be to give Thaw a passport to Europe
with the understanding that he should never
return He has cost the State of New York a
pretty penny and will cost a great deal more II
they ever get him, which Is exceedingly doubt.

To add its v ID Of commentator and appre-

The City home is inadequately equipped: old
and out of date and Richmond has long ago out
grown the institution. II there was no other
objection to It, 1t is miseraby located. The
city should have well-equipped hospital. cen
traily located, to care for the emergency cases
and indigents 1t is called upon to treat The
present home should be what its name implies
a home for the healthy indigents. The city
authorities arc not without blame for having
80 long neglected this important matter.
The generous offer of the medical college au-
shorities solves the problem for the time being.
The city can make use OF this well-equpped
hospital free of cost for long as il sees fit
In the meantime something should be done to-
ward providing a permanent institution. The
present site OF the Virginia hospital would be
admirable II tho medical college authorities can
be induced to part with it. by reason of Its
