HAsfPERr-D BY LACK OF FUNDS.

Virginia may we'll be proud of her colleges and
unavarsites The men turned out from Virginia
to do the worlds work have made the name OF
Virginia mean something more than just one OF
a number Of States. and Virginia colleges have
had much 10 do with the formation Of the char
anter Of these men. Virginia colleges have taught
yirg1nians how 10 DO their work we'll, and Vir.
ginsa traditions have kept them up TO the mark
set by the colleges.
Fer this reason Virginia legislators should
see that the colleges are supplied with funds
with which 10 carry on the work which they
have begun.
Representatives Of the Virginia Polytechnc
institute have come before the present legisla
tors with measure providing that college with
more ample appropriation The legislators
should LOOK we'll into this measure, The vir-
gtnta Polytechnic institute means too much to
Virginia for them to overlook any measure which
nmy be vital to that institution.
A survey of the measure shows that the vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institutes demand is not un.
reasonable. It's work has been hampered for
several years by the lack of funds and with the
destruction Of the shops last year by fire came
an urgent need for funds The sewerage sys-
tenn lis In a bad way; the college needs room for

served, and 1t is the duty of the State to serve
them. They bring honor to the State IN every
technical profession, and are asset to the
State more valuable than factories or farms
Let the Legislators look well into the measure

proper means The institute is worthy and its
product is one of which the state may well be

NEW LIBRARY FIELD.

A gift OF 500 music rolls for piano players
made to Kansas City public library. has sug
gested to the Kansas City star that the me-
ehanical feature OF music can be taken up most
proftably by Libraries The star suggests that
the music rolls be issued, Just as books are now
issued, to those people who have mechanical
piano players, It would enlarge the scope of
players repertoire to an indefinite extent and
good music could be taught
Such an innovation could be made to go much
further than the piano player rolls With science
improving the photograph and every man OF
prominence In music. and public life making
records, it would not he beyond the mark to
predict Libraries Of photographic records Al
ready the phonograph has done much to teach
music. Opera that was once known only to the
ultra cultured is now whistled on the street by
the new hoy- Reetations and speeches can r.
recorded easily as opera and there is no
reason why libraries should not have records of
heard by everyone who owned a graphophone
Imagine what prices would be paid for the only
graphophone record OF Lncoln's speech at
Gettysburg. or Webster's reply to Hayne One
hundred years from now Wilson's speeches will
be Just as interesting and records of 1t will be
invaluable.
With science improving the graphophone and

be done in regard to libraries. Certainly there
is much of interest that can be added to what

COMMENT
Cocktails Work.

Colonel George w. Goethals is not an old
man He Is about the same age as the presi-
dent and the cabinet members having been born
in 1858. Having served thirtyfour years in the
army. he is eligible for retirement by the
president But the president and the secretary
of war do not seem disposed to sacr1nce the
nations claim on the services of so able an OFF,
Ger and have been intending 10 make him gov
efnor of the canal zone. However, after seven
years on the sthmus- Colonel GeothalS would
prefer to return to the United States. He has
been asked to become police commissioner of
New York and has agreed to accept, provided
several conditions are fulfilled He will insist
on remaining on the isthmus until the canal
shall be in operation. He viii not resign from
the army and will not accept If President Wilson
does not consent. And he demands increased
control over the personnel of the police. The
latter condition cannot be fulfilled without legis-
lation at Albany In these circumstances il
seems to be a remote contingency that Colonel
Cioethals Will direct the police of New York
city
Colonel Goethals is an engineer and an ad-
ministrator. He might succeed as police commis-
sioner bat he would certainly succeed in the
kind of work he has been doing. The nation
at large would be better pleased, we believe, II
he were directing other great national works,
such as the reformation of the Mississippi river
or the construction of coast canals. or the open
ing up of Alaska
on the other hand, it would not be in the
interest of New York to wait year for its per
man ooLce head. ----
Colonel Goethas has earned the right to re-
turn to the United States If he wishes TO do
so. He could be asked to remain at Panama
only if imperative national interests required IT,

McGRAW AS A DIPLOMAT.

True TO the instinct of real baseball players
whose public always likes TO them in other
roles than that which gives them prominence,
Johnny McGraw takes his pen in hand for a
piece for the paper advocating baseball diplo
macy. Other stars have been content to upift
vaudeville and make story writing popular but
McGraw will be content with nothing less than
diplomacy and his first job Is to settle the
Japanese situation.
McGraw contends in the outlook" that al.
though diplomacy is ali right when conducted by
snooth-tongued millionaires. the best way IN
the world 10 consummate the peaceful settlement
of the Japanese situation is to arrange for a
continuous worlds series. Judging from the
success the New York Giants and the Chicago
from the aspect of the gate receipts and in. the
formation of friendships McGraw believes that
the Introduction OF new and fascinating sport
WILL go long way to make the japanese forget
all unkindness.
McGraw, in a large measure is right AS a
means of making men forget everything except
whether the runner will reach second or whether
the batter will fan. baseball is one OF the great
est things In the world. 1t is hardly probable
that there would have been any anti-American
riots in Japan If there had been a frst-class
baseball game to see every afternoon. Imagine
agitator holding out the pleasure Of smash
Ing few windows and yelling at the American
flag to a baseball fan who is about to catch
ear out 10 the park. The agitator would have
TO hide to keep his skin intact
Dean c. Worcester stated recently that as
means OF civilization in the Philippines baseball
was far and away ahead of anything that had
yet been tried. He showed that as a deterrent
to head hunting 1t had met with wonderful re-
suits and erstwhile headhunters forgot their
occupation when the game became close We
would not, however. put in an application for the
job of umpire In a headhuntlng league. That
would be carrying enthusiasm too far
There can be no doubt however. that the
introduction OF baseball into Japan will do a
large amount of good In making good feeling
between Japan and America, and In doing so the
managers OF the teams have done their country
some service.
