ARE WE TO HAVE WORK NOW?

The special annexation committee of the city
council will meet Wednesday afternoon to drive
over the territory suggested for annexation to
Richmond Several members OF the committee
are quoted as expressing wish to meet several
nights in succession afterwards TO prepare a
report to be submitted to the council.
The willingness to perform this work even
in hot weather should be translated into action
Six weeks ago the committee named to
discuss the question OF annexation. to study
the ground and to formulate plan for presen-
tation to the council. The Vir0inion has no
means OF knowing exactly what the committee
has done but It does know that many of them
think action has been delayed for too long a
time. It does know that the chairman and
several members have openly declared that the
tactics of the committee have been dilatory
One member was quoted as saying at an open
meeting of the committee that the members
knew little more of the subject than they knew
when the committee organized
These statements may be slightly exaggerated
but they show that what should have been done
has not been done, Meetings have been held
too infreauenty. Talk has been freer than work
There Is no sign In sight OF report and there
are rumors that there will be no report to the
present council. but that the whole question
will be postponed until after the elections of next
spring and presented anew to the new coun-
ell Such action would mean the appointment
of new committee and another beginning 1t
would mean delay of than twelve
months. The proper body to make the report
on annexation is the body which was named
and act upon that report is the council now In
session The time for action is now.
The people OF Richmond remember the promise
of the committee to go over the ground again
Wednesday. They remember the expression of
Willingness on the part of some mombers of
the committee to do double duty in the future
to make up for time lost in the past They have

their minds to the best method Of giving
Richmond the opportunity for her fullest de-
veopment. Their eyes on the council and
upon the special annexation committee of that
body and they waiting for action. They
want some report whether they oppose or favor
al this time. That trip Wednesday is
looked forward to with interest They are
dering what is to happen after. Is the most
to be made of that trip? They believe SO and it
would be well not to disappoint them. Are the
committeeman to get down to real work from
now on?
The Vrgintdn has felt for some time that
progress was not being made as rapidly as 1t
should be made, but II has refraned from
criticism. because It felt that 1t was no, in
position to judge. There was absolutely no way

Pure Marriages.

Editor The Virginian:
Sir-Much Is being written the subject of
pure marriage, which is indicative of the prog
ress and reform religious leaders, as well
as people are making today The mere agita-
ton of this subject even If practical results
follow at the present time. would no doubt do
good, but believe that practical results will
follow
II will be conceded by all thinking people
that 1t will be easy matter for preachers to
carry out their ideal in eugenic marriage for
there are difficulties and possibly embarrass-
ments In the way. but we believe that II our
preachers act In concert and harmony In the
matter great good will result 1t would in the
humble Judgment of this writer be better II tn Is
movement for pure marriages had been nose
drastic and gone far enough to have protested
against the marriage of idiots, insane people
and inebriates. But ought to feel thankful
for the movement against immoral persons en-
terng the connubal state which Is surely a
good step in the right direction and maybe at
ter while the movement viii be more far
reaching
l have been reading with interest the discus
sion on this subject. On with the reform.

BON AIR HOME FxoNERATED.
Do 1T NOW.

It is not often that investigations rebound

We think this TO be the result of the so-called
investigation into the management of the vir.
ginia Home and Industrial School for Girls al
Bon Air The inquiry is not vet complete. but
It has gone far enough TO show that the insti.
tuition is properly managed and that IN the
matron the governing board OF the home has
found rare and devoted woman.
The instigators Of the investigation crediting
in The beginning the story of a hayward girl who
has since admitted that she lied when she ap.
peared before Squire L. w. Cheatham. pinned
their complaint on the allegation that the girls
were overtaxed by their labor in the fields
and that they worked under the supervision of
a negro boss This has been dsproved from
beginning to end by disnterested witnesses and
by those most commemorative girls themselves
The inquiry developed the fact that the girls
were never under the direct control OF Beverly
Banks. the negro In question. lie had no
charge OF the girls. He merely directed their
work. receiving all his instructions from Mrs.
Light, the matron. The power to punish or to
reprimand not given into his hands. II

OF the governing board OF the home OF the

still stand unscathed
It should be pointed out, too. that two Of
the adverse witnesses were county officer who
had been denied entrance to the grounds to serve
a subpoena on a girl because it was against
the rules OF the institution and who knew moth
ing of the institution more than he gained from
q girl he arrested as a runaway, and a car
