A MATTER OF CIRCUMSTANCE.

The Newport News Press argues earnestly
and feelingly for its contention that man should
not be required to tote a pink paraso over a
giggling girl down crowded thoroughfare that
The Virgi,pidn is almost inclined 10 concede the
truth OF It's argument Certainly there is great
force In it. Replying to The Tirgtnidn's sug-
sestion that the author of the paragraph anent
this matter OF grave Importance to all gallants
was lacking In that gallantry the Press has
this TO say:
No gallant gent minds carrying girls wrap
on his arm, in both arms. for that matter.
bur II is different when ii comes to toting a pink
par asol the girls head, YOU and she walk
ahroed the crowded tnoroughfare. II Is not
alone the annoyance OF having the top rigging of
The hat continually batting the umbrel, but II
makes the toter feel ridiculous he does
when chasing "a straw hat before the wind. And
the girl advertises him by glGgling at every &C
quaint ancn she meets. So say that every
Gtrnsf ell fellow is justified in drawing the limi'
lfne against parasoltoting. This applies es-
peclaliy to the old sports who insist on keeping
company with girls
AS applied TO Newport News the argument is
convincing. AS applied to Richmond 1t is weak

MCARTHY'S APOLOGY.

Captain Carlton Mccarthy has shown that
though he may be a man of quick temper and
unbridled tongue at times and that he can stand
censure with little patience he is one who recog
nizes his infrmity of temperament and is manly
and frank and honest enough to admit his faults
and to make public acknowledgment when the
matter affects the public.
Captain McCarthy's apology does not come
as surprise to The Virginiam This newspaper
could not condone the violence of his outbreak,
though understanding the extent OF the provo
cation, and it did not believe that Captain Nc
Carthy In his calm moments would look back
upon it with anything but regret The Virginian,
however, not inclined to lay too much
stress upon the incident. II felt that an apology
to the public would be forthcoming soon
as Captain Mccarthy had had time TO cool down
and it takes pleasure this morning in printing
the frank and manly statement given out by
him.

THE MAYORS SENSIBLE ADVICE.

cool head. an unbiased mind and broad
spirit which recognizes the fallibility of hu-
manity. but yet breaches correction, and COM
nonsense philosophy show In Mayor George
Ainslies call to the municipal departments and
municipal officials to forget personal feelings
end useless criticism and censure of each other
and to get together and work
What is done Is done. 1t is to be regretted
but the duty of all officials is to see that
nothing like it happens again. 1t is their
duty now to throw further safeguards around
our water system
That is the gist Of what Mayor Ainslie says
and that expresses the situation. Criticisms
and determinations, personal affronts and per-
sonal feelings dstrust of others and pride of
opinion. love of display and vauntings of power
these are things to be laid aside If the city of
Richmond Ia not to suffer These are the things
that city officials must discard If they are to
perform their sworn duty.
Men who have the welfare Of the public at
heart have not the time to give to such things.
Their duties. II we'll performed sufficient
to occupy their whole time The public expects
those duties to be well performed, and The
vtrGinian hopes that they will be- 1t believes
that the officials who have given so much time
and energy to personal affairs now regret their
actions. Probably 1t was all natural. the fault
of imperfect human nature but let's "cut IT
out" now Let's get down to the public's bust
ness. Let's have harmony, cooperation, deyo

GET RID OF NUISANCE BY EATING IT.

Like most other American cities New Orleans
is plague with the English sparrows. and
the Pioayune has come to the conclusion that
the best way to get rid OF them is TO eat them,
and It proceeds to tell how the sparrow may be
prepared into a dish fit to set before king Says
the Picayane:
sparrow breasts. though small in size are
delicacy. To prepare them for the table the
sparrow should be skinned and split down the
back with sharp knife; they should then be
placed in weak salt solution over night and
then placed In the ice box for a few hours.
ter lard, TO which is added a few drops of
vinegar to eradicate the wild TASTE or
smothered with onions. Either way they be-
come tempting dishes"
We don't mind confessing. now that the
Picayune has brought the subject up. that once
upon time. with our little bow and arrow-no,
on second thought 1t was parlor rife--we went
out and slaughtered several OF these feathered
varmints and turned them over to the cook who
prepared very toothsome pot pie. Really 1t was
appetizing-not half bad-in fact about as pleas
ing delicacy as the Wanted rice bird over which
epicures rave. We had almost forgotten the in
cident until the Pcdyane brought it to mind.
Why could not the introduction of the English
sparrow TO the hotel and restaurant menu be
made profitable all around--get rid of nuisance,
help to solve the problem OF the high cost of
living and furnish as we'll profitable industry
killing three birds with one stone-ony three
wouldn't make a pot pie.

DISREGARD OF TRAFFIC LAWS.

Richmond people a rule are long-suffering
and patient, and endure much without complaint,
but the ruthless disregard Of some Of the i'm
portant sections OF the traffic ordinance are be-
ginning to get on their nerves.
We have In mind one section In particular,
which Is Of especial interest and Importance
for the reason that II Is absolutely essential for
the protection OF human life. and that is the
rule requiring all vehicles proceeding in the
wake OF a street car to stop when the stops
to discharge or take on passengers or, II the
width OF the street permit, the driver II he
passes the car must give the running board or
lower step at least eight feet berth. Here is the
full text OF the section referred to, which is
certainly lucid enough for drivers of vehicles
to understand;
Every person riding driving. propelnE or in
charge Of any vehicle upon any street shall keep
said vehicle at least eight feet from the run
ming board or lowest step Of any street car which
is stopping for the purpose OF taking on or dis
charging passengers, and If by of the
. presence Of such vehicles at the place where
yuch car Is stopping. or by reason or the mar
eowness of the street, and for any other
neason 1t is possible to preserve such
distance of eight feet from such running
2oard lowest step (as herein prescrlbed), then
t<such person shall stop such vehicle until such
car shall have taken discharged its pas
sengers and again started
The rule is persistently and fagrantly vio-
lated. At corners where the city maintains
traffic officers these drivers give evidence Of the
fact that they are familiar with the law. and II
they are not they soon taught by the police
man. but out of his sight, many of them, with
utter disregard of the safety of pedestrians. 60
by street cars without stopping
Another provision OF the law which is also
cisobeyed with impunity and which augments
the risk to which street car passengers ex-
posed is that section WEIGH imposes this In
junction:
.-The drivers Of vehicles owned controlled
and a distance of at least twenty (20) feet must
be between every such vehicle"
The procession style of travel is the prevail
ing style on Main street, and is not only a
constant source Of annoyance to street car pas.
eengers but pedestrians as well. Drivers should
bear in mind the fact that pedestrians have
rights which must be respected to the pre-
seryation Of life. limb and the pursuit of hap
piness. The city cannot afford TO maintain a
traffic officer on every corner, but there is a
way to get at these people who recklessly dis
regard the law. An occasional report to the
police Of of the fragrant violaors would
have q salutary effect.

The Currency Bill

Turning now to consideration Of the bill sub
mitted to the house embodyng the concur
rent views of the president and the chairmen Of
the senate and house committees immedia tely
charged with the subject, find it to bear
evidence of careful study of the evils to be
remeded and of a large measure of constructive
ability on the part of It's trainers To give all
its provisions, whether addressed to one the
other branch of the many-sided problem, such
unqualified approval as was voted by the Vir-
GINA Bankers association under spur Of the
first impression created by an eloquent parte
exposition by Senator Owens would be to go
further than rational caution commends Mr.
Glass himself, in making public a full outline of
the details of the schema. as now formulated
asks no such wholesale commttal to the draft
which is largely his work. but characterizes
1t as "a basis for Legislative action This is
wise moderation, for nothing is more certain
than, as has been the with the Underwood
bill, that careful analysis of it's multifarious
will lead to the discovery by the
authors themselves of the necessity for both
and cancellations of the project as
it now stands. But do not think it pre-
mature to say that the general trend of the
measure as submitted keeps steadily in view the
ends which are essential:
Provision of a means for rediscountng COM

basis for elastic notes properly safeguarded.
Machinery for doing foreign banking business
Also. we think, that in seeking to attain these
main desderata, the means devised mostly
consonant with sound financial principles. That

scrutiny Of both friend and foe. defects will be
developed is TO be expected That such will meet
with frank recognition and willing rectiication

and language of the statement with which he
preluded the synopsis OF his bill furnished to
the press last week. Senator Owens address

In the second place the girls of Richmond
do not giggle. gigge comes from the girl you
do not like; siivery laugh from the one you
admire. All Richmond girls send forth peals
of the silverest of all the silvery laughter in
stock.
Moreover. old men in Richmond do not carry
the parasols. pink, blue, white or Bulgarian,
over the girls. There are no old men in Rich
mond.
In Newport News where the girls carry pink
parasols and giggle and where men grow old
early the logic of the Press position is unas-
sailable In Richmond 1t is faulty in many re-
spects. But we retract what we said about the
galantry OF the Press. An old man has a

Crime and Civilization.

The United States is supposedly a civilized
country from TO ocean and from the
Northern boundary to the Gulf of Mexico and
the Rio Grande. In every part of that
1t has schools and courthouses. telegraphs and
telephones, newspapers, railroads. all the ap
purtenances OF culture and civic development.
But everyone knows that crime prevails in all
parts and OF the aspects OF this crime
are decidedly barbarc and of distinctly from
tier nature. Nor are these criminal manifesto
lions confined to the wider stretches, the less
populous regions. Here, for instantce, Wednes-
day, came report of express train held up
by masked robbers in the heart of the State
of Illinois, near the very capital of that Com
monwealth. The bandits set a danger signal
against the express and brought It to a halt.
They then inundated the passengers and the
operatives by firing pistols in the air, and while
ference, they blew open the express safe and
mpudence they detached the engine and ran
it into Springfield. and thus made their escape
without the least difficulty. This is the most
daring holdup reported In years, but 1t is not
singular instance of criminal enterprise Mask
ed continually at work in all the cities,
holding up people and securing funds. A case
of this kind happened in Washington the other
night, only the robber driven off before
getting his loot. A bound and
robbed in a grocery store here a fortnight ago.
Out in Chicago the other day occurred shoot
ing very like typical motion picture drama"
Indeed, the record of American crime Is so
full of instances of this kind that 1t seems
idle to regard civilization a guarantee Of
peace and order and protection.-Washingto
