PERSONAL GAIN.
Tn people Of virginia have been shocked
bv the revelation made through The Tirgtnian
that ,ac.oTce Of secretary Of the Commonwealth
is being 'sed by Chief Clerk James VI Hayes,
Jr. for securing. tn tae name Of the State. lists
Of registered voters which he IS using presumably
by sale for his personal benefit. And the people
want to know what the secretary of the Com
inous eaItll is going to co about this fragrant
misuse of his office. his Office stationery and
bis official signature!
There is 10 question that Hayes used the
stationery Of the office. IN which he is employed
MS chief clerk. and given great freedom Of ae-
ton. or that he signed the name Of Secretary
r. O. James, without tie knowledge consent
OF that official tn the registrars ordering that
lists Of the registered voters be sent in and
that their postofice addresses be secured as far
as possible from the rural mail carriers Hayes

THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD CAMPAIGN.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD CAMPAIGN.
With the close of entries for the admtnstra-
tive board race on Saturday. Eve well-known cit
candidates for two places which will be
vacated on December 31st
The board has been In existence for about
eighteen months 1t has proved more or less
Of a success. coming as IT did as an experiment
The FIVE members of the board are on duty every
day. and the Office OF the board Is open TO the
public from in the morning until o'clock In
the afternoon. Business with the constructive
divisions OF the city may be transacted with
much more alacrity than formerly, when this
section o. the municipality was entirely con-
trolled by council committees.
Richmond for years suffered the delays neces-
sarily resulting from interminable committee
work Members OF council who gave their SER
vices freely to the city. felt at times they could
not devote as much OF their time to the work
% the work demanded. and rs a result many
delays were experienced in the matters of street
paving, guttering. planting of trees, placing Of
signs building OF bridges, and similar things.
The administrative board has not yet reached
stage for many years. 1t may never do so, Yet
1t Is generally admitted that much Improvement
in the work of the city has resulted in the
change,
The important question which is now before
the people and which will always, as long as
the administrative board is a part of the city
government, be before them, ia that Of securing
the best men possible for the five places on the
board. ~,-------'----- =s-----------~
Two Of these places will be vacated the first
OF fhe year. The successful candidates will be
elected to serve a term of four years
1t is I'D to the people Of Richmond to think
Let the voters consider we'll before casting their
ballots, SO that the very best men may be
chosen. Two of the candidates will have had
two years experience on the board. The voters
have met the call or not The other three are
well-known business men. The city In any
event Is to be congratulated upon the fact that
the list Of candidates embraces men who have
political ways and who may be counted upon to
continue along the line of true patriotism.
The Firgtnion is pleased to hear there will
be personalities or mud-singing during the
voters will pick the two men best qualified.

GETTING BROKE IN.

The Oklahoma City Chamber OF
Commerce, which built magnificent
city out on the prairie, with moth
ing to base town building upon, the
same Chamber of Commerce that sat
still while some of its real estate
men plated the creeks and bottoms
surrounding the town and sold the
lots on monthly payments OF salaried
men in other towns, the same Cham
ber of Commerce Is throwing fits
now, because come girls in that
town have a shoe shine parlor. The
girls had to work to earn a living
some had been employed in laun-
dries, some had been doing work
about the hotels, True, We are not
accustomed to seeing pretty girls
rake the mud from a gentlemans
shoe and plaster it over with the
paste and give it a touch of polish
with a brush but we can be broke
to it, We were not accustomed
to the diaphanous skirts and the
split skirts, but they broke us in,
and these fads no longer create a
sensation. But shining shoes is not
a fad. 1t is a business. 1t is meat
and bread. There is no reason
why a woman can not be a woman
in shoe shining parlor as well as
in a laundry or as well as when en-
gagged in doing chambermaid work
at a hotel. The work is lighter, it
is more remuneratiye and besides,
what il the Chamber OF Commerce
going to do about it? They have
given the feminine shine parlors
enough advertising 10 gather in a
lucrative trade. 1t is not a viola
ton of the law for a person to shine
the shoes of another. The Chamber
of Commerce will not bother itself
about giving the girls better job
and the chances are good that the
feminine parors will become a fix
ture in elite Oklahoma City. The

The president himself, it is said,
has invited the widest range Of sus-
gestions from his advisers, and has
steered middle course between
those who favor a quickly aggressive
policy ard those who believe war can
be best averted by patient obserya-
ton and carefully deliberated action.
Persons close to the administration
council described the divergence of
views as the product of natural diff
ferences among those charged with
responsibility for executive action. OF.
ficials point out, for instance, that the
war department is naturally anxious
to take every reasonable precaution
with its military forces, and the navy
is bending its energies likewise to
perfect its arrangements for actual
warfare. They say also that the state

The Americans ami English who
operate the mines and smelters and
oil fields and factories and refner-
les in Mexico have held their for
eign employees in that country by
repeatedly assuring them that there
would be no war. These business
men have courted both sides, and
fanciod that both factions in that
government were friends to them.
They have assured the laborers and
their families that they would be
safe under any circumstances that
might arise and depending upon the
Judgment of these men, the employees
remained at their posts, until now a

BRYAN DENIES He

Washington, April 27.-Secretary OF
State Bryan today emphatically de
MED widespread and persistent re,
ports that he would resign from the
cabinet. When informed Of published
reports that he would relinquish his
post should war be declared against
Mexico, Mr.. Bryan said
The subject of my resignation new,
er has been discussed with anybody
nor thought of by me-
White House officials pointed to
the general denial issued a few days
ago of the story that Secretary Bryan
would resign, saying that statement
was sufficient to cover all rumors OF
cabinet dissensiou. They said they
did not regard it as necessary to re.
peat the denial with each published
report
Outside Of the White House there
has been considerable discussion OF
the individual views known to be held
by members OF the cabinet on the
present situation. None Of these is
said to be serious or approaching any
breach in the presidents official fam
lily, but there have been natural diff
ferences of opinion as to what ag-

facturers and the officers, but the
officers are not in control Of the
situation. Mexican mobs are taking
things in their own hands and Am
erican men, women and children are
being placed under arrest and lock
ed in prisons where there will be
no air or sunshine nor scarcely any
thing to eat, and there is a chance
that they will be dragged from their
prisons only to be murdered. Those
innocent people should be given
their liberty, and conveyed to the
American vessels, or Mexico should
be overrun with an invading army.

sion of the war spirit of its allied de-

All the cabinet secretaries them
selves denied that there is any serious
division and point to their close and
freouent conferences as evidence Of
their cooperation.
Rumor Starts from Speech.
1t is stated on authority that Secre-
tary Bryan has declared that in no
case would he resign his Office. The
rumors of Mr.. Bryan's intention to re-
tire from the cabinet in various con
tingencies are ascribed by his friends
to sentiments uttered by the secreta-
~ in the early days of his incumben-
cy. lie has spoken often of the sub
lect OF universal peace, and has eN-
pressed the altruistic sentiments, and
among other things has declared in
a speech delivered in the west, that
there would be no war while he was
SECRETARY of state.
1t is further stated on the authority
of members OF the cabinet, that moth
mg has occurred in any cabinet meet
ing to develop any dissatisfaction
whatever on the part of any indiyid-
ual. II is true, they state, that various
cabinet members have viewed certain
subjects from different angles, but
that invariably has applied to the
preliminary phases of subjects. in
every case however, according to this
authoritative view, when the discus
sion of the subject was concluded and
the views of the cabine thad crystal
iized, the ensuing line Of action has
received the united support of every
member of the cabinet
Secretary Daniels, discussing news
paper reports Of cabinet friction,
said:
There is not now, and has not
been, the least scinlilla of friction in
the cabinet. At a time like this, my
private judgment, as a newspaper
man, is that the press owes it, as a
patriotic duty, not to spread such re-
ports"
