ABATE THE SMOKE.


Now is the time to take active steps
for abating the smoke nuisance. The
board. the Mayor and the Health De-
partment are wise in getting together
10 plan an ordinance that VIII keep
the city clean and. incidentally, be held
valid by the court That such a meas
ure is possible is amply attested by
successfully enforced statutes in other
States.
Richmond is fortunate in attacking
the smoke nuisance before its worst
effects have developed. The passage
OF a strict ordinance now will enable
the city to regulate the type Of com
merciaI or residential furnaces TO be
installed in the future. II Will not
work an extraordinary hardship on
those who may be forced to change
their present heat and power produc-
ing equipment. The sooner, therefore,
such an ordinance carefully framed,
with heavy penalties. and provisions
for inspection and strict enforcement,
is put into action, the better for all
concerned
If Richmond desires to avoid some
Of the troubles of other communities
with smoke. the following points must
be noted. For one thing, a consid-
cradle part Of the smoke cloud is due
to the fires for heating and cooking
in small residences. While the family
chimney is not so spectacular as the
factory nue with its pillar of cloud
by day. the total Of all the little Chin
news makes heavy contribution to
the free carbon in the air Naturally,
househoIders Will feel indignant if
obey are hailed into court for violating
4 smoke ordinance. The old arsu-
ments of Il can't help it and Every
body does it," will be fourished. and
the smoke law have hard time. From
the beginning. therefore. just reguia-
lions for residences, and regulations of
which there is a chance of enforce
ment by the supporting public opin-
ion. must be framed.
Another difficulty is the smoke from
being used in the city.
Can this be abated. or is it a necessary
evil? In one city about % per cent,
we believe, of the total smoke came
from this source.
The big factory, Office building or
power plant is the cause of most COM
plant. but such sources are the easiest
to remedy by law. II is possible TO
show the mau whose stack pours out
a dense cloud of black smoke that he
is spreading his money around in the
air. The black cloud is carbon that
he paid for as coal, but did not burn
for heat in his furnace. The installa-
ton of mechanical stokers. scientific |
smoke consumers. and the instruction |
Of fircrnen about getting the greatest |
heat from fuel, viii practically abolish /
such smoke troubles. TO cut out this |
smoke means money in pocket for the |
owner. Any mechanical devices put |
i'm for the purpose pay for themselves I
in short time by increased boiler /
efficiency.
We trust the right ordinance Will !
be framed for Richmond. We need it /
for at least three different reasons: |

.lothes and replacing curtains and the !

suance thereof shall hc eligible 70 hold

We favor n single presidential
term. and to that end urge thc adOp-
ton Of an amendment 10 the Constitu-
ZION making the President OF the
United states ineligible for reelection,
and we pledge the candidate of this
convention to this principle.
Upon these TWO brief declarations,
or either Of them. may hang the poll
tical fortunes Of Woodrow Wilson.
The first is the form Of proposed
amendment 10 the Constitution. which
received the approval Of the Senate
Saturday: the second is a declaration
in the last national platform of the
Democratic party II the single term
amendment should be passed by the
House and ratified by the States. how
would it affect the tenure OF President
WILSON, Would it extend his term
10 six years and make him Ineligible
for a second term. would it limit him
Of six years. or would It conhne him
10 the four years service upon VIII oh
he is about 10 enter: II the amend
ment were added 10 the Constitution
and construed so as 70 make Wilson
eligible lor second term Of SIX
years. would the declaration in the
platform OF his party prohibit him
from being its candidate for second
term?
No authoritative answer can be
made by any one to these questions,
which are az this time purely specula-
tive. The proposed amendment 10 the
national organic law must he con-
Cured in by two-thirds Of the mem
bers of the House Of Representatives
and ratified by thirty-six states before
il would have the force of law. The
declaration Of the Democratic platform
IS 50 ambiguous that It is incapable Of
Interpretation until another conven-
fion can conStrue it. Nobody knows
whether its intent was TO cOnfne Mr.
Wilson to one term or not. The plank
does not specify whether the single
term should be Of four or of six
years.
