INTERESTING YOUNG VOTERS.

A movement which has many good points has been instituted in Rich mond, Va, for the purpose of inter esting young men in matters so that they will be in a position to take an active part in elections, and to such an extent that they will exercise their right of suffrage This movement is in the hands of the Young Mems Reg istration committee and it is easily recognized that in this worthy object they have a task which means steady and faithful application to it in or der to produce results.
 They have imposed upon themselves the duty of conducting an educational campaign in the principles of good government and the pointing out of the value of every one participating in the privileges which become his at tine age of twenty-one. They must not only urge the young man to go through the necessary form for obtaining the right but thereafter he must be made to realize the importance of expressing his desires, at each and every cleo tio1. Not alone is 1t important to in itiate the new voter but il Is equally Important that he should appreciate the necessity of his appearance at The polls as often as opportunity permits.
 It will require the arousing of much interest to bring out the vote even of the young men. with the additional task of providing information which will help him to vote right. Tn this the committee will have plenty of chance for work. and it Ia likely to become feature of party orgapiza- &kAz

The Mooted Problem.

MT. Editor: It is strange to notice the unnecessary pains many people will take to perplex simplicities. A merchant who could not fix a correct selling price his goods after knowing the first cost, store charges, and rate per cent net profit must have more education than business sense.
 When he gets $1.32 for what he paid $1 for, he gets his dollar for the arti- cle, he gets 22 cents for store charges and his ten cents in the till for net profit if he has honest clerks
