THE LITERARY LINCOLN.

The greatness of Lincoln is being
recognized more every day, but one
part of his greatness is perhaps not
adequately honored. The War Presi-
dent had a remarkable ability for say
ing just exactly what he wanted TO say
Lincoln said in his Gettysburg
speech that the world would little re
member what he said there Instead.
the battle is made famous by his
speech.
When President Wilson and Secre-
tary Daniels wanted to express their
sorrow TO the parents of the men who
died at Vera Cruz, they chose the
words of Lincoln to the mother who
gave the lives of five sons in the Union
army.
Our President felt capable OF reyis-
ing some poetry by President Emeritus
Eliot of Harvard But he did not feel
capable of improving Oh the words and
diction of Lincoln, an unschooled man
of half century ago. We are perhaps
Just beginning to realize the literary
worth of the first martyred President

A BUREAU OF SERVICE.

The Young Woman's Christian AssO-
citation is the biggest bureau of service.
in the University This group of Uni
versity women, freely giving of their
time and of their money, contributes
more toward making the average girls
four years happy than does any other
force in the University. An employ
ment department, a file of pleasant
boarding and rooming places, the writ
ing of friendly letters to prospective
freshman girls and the meeting Of
these new. homesick students at the
trains, is part of this willing service.
In addition. these University women
provide entertainment throughout the
year and seek TO keep the students in
touch with the religious life of the
town.
The Y ". e. A. gets behind every
good movement, whether national or
local Under its management more

GOVERNOR MANN EMPHASIZES
TAX REFORM IN FIRST PAPER
Divides His Annual Message
to General Assembly Into
Three Parts First Of Which
Was Read in Both Houses

!, gress Of Virginia.

Following Is the first of three in
staliments OF Governor Mann's mes

To The General Assembly of Virginia.
The duty required OF the governor
~ the constitution of informing the
general assemb bly, OF the conditions Of
al the departments. Institutions and
agencies Of the State, and recon-
mending for Its consideration such
measures as he may deem expeiient,
q made a pleasant duty under the
conditions confronting us And / am
sure these conditions will enable your
body and the incoming executive to
provide elective measures for a great
ar progress and advancement In the
future.
First. and most important Is the
concluding paragraph Of the report
pf the committee OF the general as
senbly appointed to examine the wa
rious institutions and agencies of the
State. which says: ut win appear
from the foregoing report that the
auditing committee have made an ex-
animation OF the departments and in
institutions of the Commonwealth, and
without hesitation are able to CEN
graduate the people Of Virginia upon

that with carefully selected and Gull
tivated farms, these people could be
segregated and probably could be
made self-supporting. Certainly. the
time has come when the State ought to

1t Is also recommended that the
county treasurers be required, under
penalty, to make these annual set
Elements.
In this connection 1t may be proper
to add, that no sufficient provision
exists for the collection of delinquent
capitation taxes which now amount
to very large sum of money due to
the State and the counties and cities
1t Is, therefore, recommended that an
act be passed requiring the clerk OF
every city and county to place all OF
the delinquent tax tickets lodged in his
office In the hands of the county and
city treaslrers. listing the same. and
taking the treasurer's receipt there
for. and for which adequate compen-
satfon to the clerks should be al
lowed. The treasurer should be re-
quired to add the amount of such
delinquent taxes and all other taxes,
by years and amounts. to current tax
tickets, so that the last ticket win
contain the entire claim Of the State
against the taxpayer. which should
be lien on all Of his personal prop
erty as an execution now Is, and on
his real estate as delinquent taxes
now are.
. Provisions should be made for for
warding tax tickets to the place Of
residence of a taxpayer who removes
from the county or city in which he
is assessed before payment. and the
clerk should be required to keep In an
alphabetically arranged record book
a list OF the delinquent taxes which
are liens on real estate: but the pur-
chaser of land should not be required
to look back or be responsible for
any taxes not on the last tax ticket.

PROCEDURE

Our State has made. and Is making,
such progress that a sixty days seaston
OF the general assembly must OF ne
cesdty be crowded with important
matters If. however, the legislation
coming before your body could be
classified and certain parts OF the
session devoted to each class. 1t might
so methodize proceedings as to ex-
pedite business. This is certainly
true as TO private or quasi private
and local legislation, to which should
be assigned the first twenty days OF
the session, leaving forty days for the
more important and general work.
This is submitted as a suggestion for
your consideration. but should be-
subject to exception OF very important
bills necessary to be disposed Of and
likely. If not gotten out of the way.
to retard legislation. / recommend
that all such bills should be disposed
of as soon as possible after the gem
eral assembly convenes. most
earnestly recommend. as real time
saver. that all of the committees Of
the senate and house hold joint ses-
sions. which would not only be con-
venience to the committees and pat
rons OF bills but would bring the two
bodies into more intimate associa-
ton. and permit free Interchange Of
Views and opinions Of necessity help
full. OF course, each committee would
have It's own clerk, reach It's own cons
illusions and report to the house con-S
shutting 1t. but the necessity of two
hearings would be done away with
l further recommend that the pro-
ceedings OF each committee and tho
votes OF it's mem bers upon every bill
and amendments. and upon every mo-
ton offered in committee, be made 4
matter of record, and be open for pub
