EepcruI lee mud The norhcrs

To the Editor of Tho Times Dispatch:
Sir,-Your humorous editorial of May
II on tho strike OF the New York bar
hers induces one to call attention to
the fact that no less n parsonage than
Robert Il. Lee has shown us how to
dispense with BARRIERS entirely, and
still not have our boards dangling
around our ankles.
When General Lee went to Lexington
in tho autumn OF 1865 TO assume the
pre- sidency of Washington College. IL
was said that there was an excitement
among the BARRIERS OF the town, each
hoping that General Lee would
patronize him. But General Lees hair
and beard remained at the Same length
from day to day, from week to week,
from year to year. at last 1t was my
fortune to learn the secret, not that he
kept It a secret, but had not happened
to tell ANYBODY, and it would have re-
quircd unpardonnhfe holiness to ask
him about the matter. One day, when
he was In n communicative mood, he
told mo ca student at that time) that
ever since he was sixteen years old he
had trimmed his own hair and SUBJ
seauently always attended to his own
beard. SUBSCRIBER

WHAT A PURLIC LIHI,ARY MEANS
no THE PEnPI.E.

Houston, Texas. has population of
$4,000. which is 47,700 less than Rich
inond's, but 1t has something which
Richmond hasn't and ought TO have
2 public library. The report OF tho
librarian of the Carnegie Library In
Houston for 1918 shows that moro than
100000 books were loaned to the public
during tho current year; that $4,000
persons We're registered as constant
patrons of tho library; that almost
1000 volumes We're added to tho stacks
in 4 year. making a total OF nearly
$4,000 III all. To interpret properly
these statistics one must read between
tho lines must imagine the subtle in
tiuence for cultivation and elevation
which the institution exercises in the
community in opening an opportunity
to so many people to como into direct
contact with tho best thought and high
est conceptions of mankind
No hotter testimony as to the pop
ular service of n public library is
needed than that of the Houston Chron-
icle. which declares that, mot only is
the library a very substantial aid TO
our educational system. by the advan-
tages 1t offers both teachers and pupils
for increasing their knowledge and
broadening their minds, but to a great
extent 1T affords rcnned relaxation to
thousands of unassuming, overworlled
people who wish TO break tho sad
monotony of their lives by quiet hour
or two spent In the drcnmland of ro-
nance. through which they Will never
bc permitted to wander except by in
direction. and the inoffensive pleasures
of which they probably would never
have known except for the public Ii
brary."
The reference room and tho educa-
tional departments are Invaluable ana
Indispensable assets of the Houston
public library, but 1t is through It's
rows of Action that it chiefly touches
hands with a weary people. In Offering
a means OF innocent enjoyment 1t con-
stantly draws the masses to higher
plane of idealism over agreeable paths
of pleasure and teaches them to lead
more purposeful lives and to thinl.

tify concerning their character.
In Houston. the public library has
become an essential factor in the de-
velopment of community life, and 1t
is taking its place in tho city as pro-
found source OF moral and educational
uplft,' asserts the Chronicle. That

GOVERNMENT IN THE OPEN.

An overwhelming majority OF the
candidates for tho House OF Delegates
TO be elected this year have declared
LOT the abolition of tho fee system. The
people should compel those who have
heTetofore remained silent to state their
attitude on this question.
The fee system Is filled with vice
1t Is almost unbelievable that tho poo
pie OF Virginia tolerate method of
compensating their public officers which
prohibits the people from ascertaiunC
what compensation they nav "a such
oihcefs. That the people who arc tho
employers cannot inspect the pay roll
or their employees, the fee officers. Is
an unwarrantable and inexcusablo vio-
lation of fundamental principle of
democratic government
There Is n more formidable evil in
"he fee system. 1t provides the sinews
for the forces of invisible government
"h'ch control a sleeping people. Des-
potic rule is perpetuated in cities and
counties because certain outrageously
overpaid fee officers through their
wealth derived from fees maintain
their positions. They contribute to tho
secret campaign funds of the bosses:
they win the favor and secure the
support Of voters by refusing to charge
them the fees allowed by law. because
they have already so enriched them
selves from this source that they do
not need to collect fees from those
whose approval at the polls they seek
The fee officers obtain life tenure in
office through the influence and the
money that they receive from a system
OF compensation which denies to the
people their right to know what they
pay their hired men.
The fec system is the foundation
OF a government which time after time
has betrayed the people, Abolish the
fee system and you abolish the greatest
field of legalizcd graft. Abolish the
fee system and YOU restore equality
OF opportunity Abolish the fee system
ana give every man who seeks Office
an equal chance OF election with the
incumbent. Abolish the fee system and
substitute for government in the dark
