RICHMOND'S UNION DEPOT
STTUATIONLIKE CHCAGO'S
Problem Now Confronting the Windy City is Whether There
Shall be Two Stations or One--Diversity OF Opinion
as Marked as 1t it Here

Dietrich. president OF the j. r. Mos
by company.
Two factions apparently exist in
both cities One side is perfectly
willing that the railroads should spend
their millions as they think best for
the roads and the travelling public
The other side Is apparently of the
opinion that a single union station is
best.
The Pennsylvania railroad Is anx-
ious TO spend millions Of dollars in
passenger terminal improvements In
Chicago. The Richmond. Fredericks-
burg and Potomac and Atlantic Coast
Line will do the same in Richmond.
Some business concerns in Chicago
heartily approve the plan Of the rail-
roads other enterprises look at II
from a different viewpoint. Ditto in
Greater Richmond.
One of the big Chicago papers prints
in It's issue OF July 18th a picture Of
the proposed depot with many en-
dorsements thereof. The same thing
has been done by one OF the big
dailies OF Richmond.
Mr.. Dietrich exhibited the Chicago
publication, which showed letters from
some of the biggest concerns in the
Western metropolis.
The manager OF the Carson. Prize,
Scott 4 Company. said:
do not believe that a
single terminal. no matter where the
location In. will work out for Chi
Ecagos best interests. / believe In sew
mails will best solve this great trans

vania group of railroads wish to place

much moro apt to lessen congestion.

and it may enlightning if The
State will show why it is neces.
sary to force the presentation of
the registration certificate and
the tax receipt in the primary
as a necessary admission to vote.
Will not The State and those
who are advocating the reform
ing of the primary system agree
that all which is necessary to in
sure a clean primary is merely
to require that there shall be
only one club in a township or
ward, and those applying to
vote must be resident citizens Of
that township or ward: This
simple amendment would wipe
out the opportunity of repeating
which has been so much COM
planned of, and it would have a!
tendency to prevent persons
ineligible to vote from eXercls-
ing that privilege. If The State
convention, or the legislature
will amend the law or rules to !
this extent and not have addi-
tional requirements such as ex-
hibiting the tax receipt and Ger

GOOD IF POLITICS IS TABoOED.

The conference for the com.
mon good, which is to take place
in Columbia on August 9Th and
7th. promises to be largely at
tended from all over the State,
and the railroads have made con
cessions for special rates. The
movement is claimed to be non,
political, this conference is said
to be preliminary to county con
ferences regardless ofpolitical af-
fhations which are to take place
later. We have no doubt that
this meeting at Columbia will be
the beginning of an educational
movement along several lines,
but in the main politics will fig
ure largely if those promoting
the scheme are not exceedingly
careful. The fact of one of the
subjects to be discussed at the
conference is "a compulsory at
tendance law" will necessarily
dray politics into the conference,
because it is to be one of the
planks in the platform of an an
nounced candidate for Governor
in the primary next summer.
If the conference results in or
ganlziug the people of the sever
al counties to pull together for
the better marketing Of the prod !
ucts of the soil, and for the rails
ing supplies at home, it will do
good, 5ut the moment 1t launch
es into politics it will go the way
other organizations have gone
that started out similarly. The
farmers alliance, the grange and
organizations started out
for to materially uplift the mass
as. but it was not long before the
lplift was only to the few who
were elevated from humble posi-
-ions to places of affiuence, some
went to congress, while others
anded in snug berths in the
state house, but the masses con-
jinued to hew and draw as they
lid before, therefore we say, the
movement about to be inaugur-
'ted can be of much help if those
n cnarge of it will keep politics
lean out of it. and the only way
o do this is to pledge those who
participate not to become candi- ;
(ateS for public offices.

President Wilson has been urc.

They may say what they please
about the condition Of Senator
Tillman's health not being Wig

fort beng made to get the gov

gresham Johnson's district, but

less they get the sanction of

WILL MEXICO BE RECOGNIZED q?

The Mexican situation is being
watched with great interest the
world over. Ambassador Henry
Lewis Wilson has been summon
ed to Washington to confer with
the President regarding affairs
in Mexico, and the conference
may result in the recall of the
ambassador. and the continued
refusal on the part of the United
States to recognize the Huerta
government. Several of the
European powers have recogniz-
ed the Huerta administration,
but so far this government has
not, nor has it evidenced any dis
position to do so, unless the visit
of its representative has some
bearing on the matter. There
are certain American interests
IN Mexico that are urging the
recognition. at the same time
there are other interests oppos-
ed to the United States commit
ting itself; these would much
prefer that Uncle Sam send his
soldiers across the line and take
possession Of that country, not
withstanding Secretary Bryan is
preaching peace--a world peace.
When Am basSador Wilson has
talked the situation over with
the President and the Secretary
Of State, it will be dctinately
known whether or not there is a
probability OF Il return Of Ir.
Wilson, and whether OF not the
United States will make demands
upon Mexico which may bring on
strained relations, and which will
cause other powers to have a say
so. We have for some time be |
lieved, that unless quiet was re-
stored across the border soon. |
the United States would eventu-
ally get in Il miy-up with the
greasers, just aS it got into the
racket with Spain over the Gu
ban situation.

vance in the price of bagging
and ties. Senator E. D. Smith,
assisted by Senator Bacon: OF
Georgia, secured the adoption of
a resolution calling on the de-
partment of commerce to inves-
tigate the cause Of the increase
price of these necessarieS. Our
observation is, these investiga-
tions by congress or by the de-
partments, have the effect of in
creasing the price instead Of
lowering it. The government
sought to prosecute the meat
packers, and instead of getting
cheaper meat the price has gone
shooting up higher, until it takes
a plutocrat to have butt meatson
his table. The government jump
ed the Standard Oil Company
and gasolene and kerosene has
advanced over fifty per cent, and
now if a probe is stuck into the
baggiug aud ties we fear the cost
of wrapping up the farmers
product will get more and more:
we have about reached the con-
clusion that Uncle Sam is a
measly failure in the investigate
ing line, and that it will be to the
interest of the masses if he will
let the managers of business
alone.
The motive prompting Sena-
tor Smith is good, his purpose is
to force down the price of bag
ging and ties, but he has an in
surmountable task on his hands
with very little encouragement
for success. A large part of the
bagging made Of jute comes from
Calcutta where it is manufactur-
ed by cheap labor, mostly by
children, and under the terms of
the new tariff bill, goods manu-
factured by children cannot be
imported into this country, rath-
er this is the position taken by
Senator Smoot, who has direct
ed the attention of the Senate to
this provision while discussing
the resolution of Senators Smith
and Bacon. If the tariff prohib
it's the importation Of goods man
ufactured by child labor, and
cotton bagging is largely made
bv this kind of labor, it looks to
US as if the cost of the produc- !
ton will be increased, and the !
users of the product, which are
the cotton growers, will be fore
ed to pay this increase without
