pHENoMENAL GROWTH.

One does not have to be unduly optimis-
tic to predict that Richmond viii be the lar
gest city south OF Washington and east of the
Mississippi by 1920. nor will one who sees the
capital city Of Virginia the leader of the en-
tire South in wealth, population, business
banking and progressiveness within the next
few years be regarded as radical even by
those who by nature are u1tra-conservatives.
It may not all come true, but certainty there
is warrant enough for expecting it.
When the figures relating to the city's great
growth In 1912 we're published in The Vtrotnian
on the first day of the new year they opened
the eyes even Of some of those who were
aware that great progress had been made, but
hose showing the advances made within the
last twelve years. published in yesterdays is
sue. are even more remarkable As stated
+, that issue 1.-The story of Richmond's ama2-
ing growth In twelve years reads like a story
from THE Arabian Nights rather than the
stern sober realism of almost unprecedented
nrogregs" An increase of SIS per cent IN pop
ulation, of nearly 200 per cent in bank clear
ines. Of nearly 500 per cent in bank capital
and surplus, of SO per cent In bank deposits
Of $50 per cent IN building operations, OF
nearly 100 per cent in industrial capital OF
$50 per cent In the value OF sales, OF 100
ner cent in property values, OF $50 per cent in
nostofce receipts, Of so per cent in street rail-
wav mileage, Of 10 per cent in the number
Of buildings constructed--these are the facts
which would he ,heleyed- by few were they
not buttressed> by the official records.
The steady growth shown in 1912, and the
bright promises for still further growth in
1914 show that this wonderful record was
not the result of boom. but that it wns tho
product of work, energy, resourcefulness and
sublime confidence Of the people OF Richmond
n the future of the city, a confidence which
has been impaired to capitalists of other cities
and other States. In the face of 1t is 1t am
wonder that conservative people predict even
Greater growth In the next eight years? Is 1t
any wonder that they believe Richmond will
surpass al other cities in the South in thai
time--that Atlanta, New Orleans Memphis
ard Birmingham win be left in the rear in
practically every line OF endeavor as they
have been left in many during the twelve years
Of The present century? growth OF equal
proportions will give Richmond undisputed
lead of all OF these cities except New Orleans
IN population and of all OF them in other par
ticulars,
Those knowing the history Of the past and
oognlzant Of the promises from the future held
cut by the present cannot fail to believe in the
ultimate supremacy of Richmond

ern suburbs OF Richmond, told In yesterday q
Pirginian, is the story of all the suburbs OF
the city. There may be differences in degree.
but anyone can see for himself that every sub
urb is increasing in population. Houses are
being constructed daily and rapidly Richmond
is becoming surrounded by another city keep
ing pace In growth with the old city In the
center There is no reason why the two should
not become one and %, 000 people. whose in
terests are in Richmond, be added to her popu-
lation.
1t may be expected that jealous neighbors
will attempt feeble jokes at Richmond's ex-
pense and declare that she has taken In all
Henrco county to make showing but In their
hearts they will know that the territory sur
rounding Richmond and divided from it by an
arbitrary line is in everything but name a
part Of the city.
Richmond's mark is 100000 before 1920.
1t has $4,000 in the census reports and l6O-
600 in reality now. Annexation will merely
give name to the fact.
This work is to be accomplished shortly.
It must be accomplished we'll. All territory
legitimately part of the city should be taken
tn and the committee which has the work in
charge should be the best that can be obtained.
There is no reason to believe that the city
council does not realize this fact and it is
hoped and believed that the members named
will justify the confidence placed In them.

fIon would be likely to bear as heavily upon
the masses as tariff taxation, for there is no
other form that bears more unequally upon
the public; II would be difficult, therefore, to
find a new system which would not be more
Just to the masses than the tax on consump-
ton which they have so long borne--a system
under which the poor man pays more than
his share, and the rich man less than his
share"
But this was not the only tariff fallacy that
the Transcript asked Mr.. Bryan TO expose
Accommodatingly it put up this straw man
ard invited Mr. Bryan to knock the stunings
out of it:
What is the possibility that lowered cost of
commodities would be followed by lower
wages"
Accepting the invitation Mr. Bryan scattered
the straw to the four winds in this wise;
"A lowering of wages would not necessarily
follow a lowering of the tariff Wages do not
depend upon the tariff but upon competition
between waee-earners. reduction in the prices
of the product would naturally increase the
demand and an Increase in demand would
increase lUB AuILbGi VI cAAApAOSNO AS|eooS%tI
to produce the larger quantity demanded ana
thus the tendency would be to increase
wages rather than to lower them. The
protectionists have for II generation
threatened reduction in wages If the
tariff is reduced. but the threat does not
rest upon an economic basis, and 1T is evident
that It has failed this year TO make the I'M
preston that 1t has in former campaigns"
The possibility of lowering the cost of liv-
ing by tariff reduction was also discussed by
Mr. Bryan by request of the Transcript, the
Commoner's conclusion being that tariff re-
duction can lower the cost of living to the
extent that tariff duties have Increased that
cost" and that where the price level in this
country Is, through the operation Of the tariff
duties raised above the price level In other
countries. 1t can be reduced by the tariff
two self-evident propositions Protectionlsts
are fond Of telling US that the increase in
the cost of living is worldwide, but they care
lessly-or carefuliy-refrain from giving the
additional information that it is not only high
err here than abroad, but has increased more
rapidly.
Mr. Bryan's answer to the transcripts Dues
tions are not new. except 10 a degree in the
way they are expressed but, then, the qucs-
tions are not new and have been answered SO
frequently that their repetition must have
become wearisome to one who has been max
ing reply to them since his memorable tariff
speech in the hcuso Of representatives twerty
vars ago.

THE BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY.

Some idea of the amount of the work ac
complished by the bureau of chemistry be
gathered from the fact that more than ten
thousand official samples of foods and drugs
we're collected during the last fiscal year, 1900
factory inspections were made, 446 recommen-
dations were placed before the board of food
and drug inspection, railroad dining cars were
inspected, oyster and clam beds were visited
and many vioators Of the laws were prose-
cuted. according to the annual report of DR.
r. E. Doolittie, who. until recently, was the
acting chief of the bureau.
The report dlscloses many startling and
some amusing facts. One of the most inter-
esting features Of the report is that telling
OF the detection of an eastern firm which ex-
ported horse meat to Holland where there is
an extensive trade in that meat. common
practice of the firm was to gather up all the
dead horses 1t could find make choice cuts
from their carcasses and export them for food,
Sufficient evidence to Justify court proceedings
was gathered and the matter is now in the
federal district court
Another very interesting discovery was of
the shipment of rotten eggs for use In the hak-
cries The putrid eggs were labeled for
technical purposes only" but when they reach
ed their destination they were frozen and sold
to the bakeries which used them in making
fluffy cakes The bureau it is understood, Will
proceed against these fraudulent egg dealers
and certainly no time should be lost in doing
So Purchasing rotten eggs only to throw
them away is bad enough, but to be compelled
to eat them afterwards makes matters worse
If the discovery of their putridness is made
This Is DR.. Doolittles last report. he haV-
ing been succeeded by DR.. Carl Lucas Alsoerg'
As chief of the bureau of chemistry. which was
made famous by DR.. Harvey Wiley. 1t II
thought that DR. Alsherg will make number
Of changes in the manner of gathering ami
testing samples-changes in the interest OF
greater efficiency DR.. Alsberg is pharma-
cologist more than chemist, He has been
trained TO deal WITH living organisms anu
their relation to health and knowing the effect
of various foods upon the human body he
should be able to judge Of the effect OF adui-
terations as we'll as to detect their pres

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS FOR RICHMOND.

There is no reason why Richmond should
not follow the example of the few cities in the
country which have established vocational
schools to their great benefit and furnish her
children with the means Of learning trades
under shop conditions SO that they can go to
work at them Immediately upon leaving school
The school board has asked an appropriation
for the purpose of establishing such schools
for the boys who are compelled by financial
stringencies 10 leave school before reaching
the high school They have opportunity of
going through the lower grades only and It
is for their benefit and for the citys that the
board wishes to establish a vocational school
In this school these boys can learn things they
need to know TO make them understand their
work, to make them like 1t, ensurng them OF
better wages on beginning their lifes work OF
more rapid promotion and making them more
useful citizens OF the community.
In some other cites-notably Cincinnati
apprentices are sent by their employers one day
each week to these schools and paid for their
time just as II they were at work. 1t pays the
hey and it pays the employer or be would not
send them That Richmond firms would do the
same thing is indicated by the fact that the
American Locomotive company has already de-
efded 10 take advantage of the opportunity Of
tered by the Mechanics institute. Detroit has
vocational courses in its public schools where
children are taught trades with their other
studies Chicago has studied the methods IN
operation in Europe and is preparing a plan
for that city. Other cities are doing the same
thing-something, by the way that Germany
has been doing for years.
The future source of skilled labor will be-
come a problem in this country in the course
az time and that section having the greatest
s,tpplv OF such labor will have the advantage
over those sections into which II is necessary
10 import it.

school board intends to make but II encouraged

OF course. Mr. Bryan answered that re-

THE STATE PRESS
New Light On the Subject.


The Democrats have been criticised For
holding up some of President Tafts appoint
ments. 1t is argued by Republicans that
Cleveland made number of appointments
during the last year of his term which were
confirmed by the senate. They do not state,
however that there were about 500 OF these
appointments and that all of them were
gradually removed by Mckinley except about
seventy-five. The Democrats are charg-
ed with trying to keep the patronage for
the incoming administration, which is simply
g. confession that MIR. Taft is attempting 10
hold the patronage for the outgoing admin
istration Mr.. Tafts administration was over
whelmingly repudiated the polls by the
American people. He carried only two minor
States out OF forty-eght, yet by the a9point-
ment Of a number of judges who will have
lie terms, he is attempting to continue the
very policies which repudated by the
people. The appointments which he has made
for the federal bench and which the Demo-
Gratis are accused OF holding up in every
instance of men who are in full sympathy with
the teachings and theory OF government or
