have impressed themselves many a time upon
earnest and uplooking Virginia people. Briefly
stated the country wornan's argument Is
follows
In sections Of Virginia are white children
boys and girls. who do not go to school.
Their failure to do arises from the pow
erty of the family.
All the resources which the father and mother
can command exhausted In providing food
and clothing for their numerous offspring
The average family in these sections has
Eve children.
The chief stumbling block to school attend
ance. 1t seems. 10 the lack OF money with which
to buy books
Children of colored families In these sections
attend school. The proceeds OF mothers laun-
dry lahors give sufficient cash for the pur-
chase OF books Clothing and shoes have little
consideration. sometimes scarcely none at all.
These conditions tend to bring all colored
children within the scope OF education and to
leave out many white children.
In the course OF ten years a situation threat
ening the political supremacy Of tho white race
in Virginia may be brought about
These points are of vital interest. While
there are people who are inclined to treat them
lightly. there are others who In them an
issue demanding serious attention. An optional
compulsory education law has been on the stat
ute books OF the State several years. but thus

Allegheny. One OF the greatest obstacles to Its
general adoption Is the fear OF the old-school
politician that compulsory education may be a
means OF giving to the colored race more power
and more opportunity than It now has In
holding to such view. he misses altogether
the larger phase OF the subject. Tho chief point
to be considered Is the welfare Of Virginia a.
whole, and everybody knows that this welfare
cannot be. conserved promoted SO long az

Sweet Potatoes

Now that we have our daily boat service to
Baltimore and our fast freight service to Rich

of the Middle West, Cincinnati. Cleveland De-
troit and other large centers of population,
there Is no reason why every one Of our farm
ers In this vicinity should not raise some real
money crops
ing Irish potatoes melons will naturally turn
their attention to these crops; they know that
the soil around here is we'll suited for them.
and that under favorable market conditions big
profits are realized.
The News has been investigating the posi-
bilities and probabilities of success In several
different lines. with view to recommending
some one main crop to the farmers In this York
river section. The decided advantage OF grow
ing great quantity of staple product

The Thirty-Nine
Movement

The organization by q small coter1e OF men
styling themselves Progressive Democrats at
a meeting held In Richmond Monday Of a
so-called Virginia Progressive Democratic
League impels to ask why Just what the
necessity the purpose Of such an organisation
lis we cannot conceive. does dts platform
enlighten The organization has de-
clared for presidential primaries and for the
initiative and recall In legislation. but otherwise
It's platform Is but reiteraton OF well known
Democratic party tenets, principles and policies
long accepted by the overwhelming MAJORITY
of the people Of the State.
Speaking OF the new organization which chose
Attorney General Elect John Garland Pollard
as its president, the Richmond News Leader.
which was ardent supporter Of Mr.. Pollard
and which may be assumed to be in sympathy
with the policies and purposes Of the organiza-
ton In general. yet utters a timely word OF
warming. That paper says of the movement:
III its object Is to lead, many will follow;
IL its purpose be to divide It will lose nobIer
opportunity for service"
Sharing view that there Is no need OF
such league In Virginia at this time, the
Richmond Journal in leading editorial asks:
Have we Bull Moose Democratic party in
Virginia? Have one already? The question
Is natural one, suggested by the organization
here yesterday Of the Virginia Progressive DEM
ocratic League" The Journal says to the
necessity or absence OF necessity for such an
organizations

Is to fan faotionaiism into fame again, to
create disruption and division, doubtless In the
hope that some selfish ambitions will be granned
thereby. Certainly there Is less excuse for the
organization OF such league than there
has been for dozen years past. If the Demo
