Must Have Stirred Audience.

Dan Daily once essayed the legiti-
mate. 1t was in his early days. All he
had to do was to come to the center
of the stage at critical moment and
shout:
THE king is dead; long live the
king!"
When the time came Mr.. DAILY
promptly assumed the correct dra-
matte pose, but for a moment was so
agitated that words failed him. Then
he beloved at the top of his voice:
Long live the king-he's dead!"

had solved the domestic problem in
this way: Whenever Mrs. Gladstone

The Cause of the Effect.

Editor Of The Virginian
Sir-I wish to commend you most heartily
for the editorial attention given by The Viz
ginian to the problems of lvelihoods for the
unfortunate girls OF the segregated district
should our officers enforce the law. This Is a
humane and timely consideration, but looks like
trying TO deal with effect without removing
the cause The old adage, AN ounce OF pre-
vention Ia worth a pound OF cure, never seemed
so applicable.
Would it not be sensible and Just to
look to the punishment, first of those who
support the houses of the segregated district?
The suggestions for industrial plants and es-
adjustment of homes for these fallen girls who
wish ito live right and punishment for those
who want nothing but sin seems as impracti-
cable as would the establishment of Pasteur
hospitals in unlimited numbers while treating
the mad dogs as household pets Our officers
know who support these houses Just well
as they know where II houses are, or they
could. Is it the courage of Nathan Of old that
they need?
Then,too. a study of the economic conditions
existing in our city might help in the solution
Of the problem. Many girls come from the
country or small towns into city to work.
and receive wages wholly inadequate to pro-
vide the necessities even with the most rigid
economy At the same time articles for per-
soma! adornment (dear to every sirls hearth
are displayed with irresistible attraction con-
stantly before her eyes and city amusementa
beckon on every hand This innate love for
pretty things and a good time make an
,naernaia r;rI mucb easier victim Of those

regation and punishment of these girls for their
weaknesses and only discussion OF how
move the temptation for the weakness of these
men? BY what law of God man anyone
permit the punishment of one partner in the
crime and allow the more guilty one to go free
and about like roaring lion seeking
whom he may devour'?
The patronizng of such house is viola
ton of law Just much the existence of
the house, Why not insist on the enforcement
of this law we'll as the law closing the house?

Reserve Bank Locations.

When the divisions for the Reserve Ban.s
were first announced there followed protests
from dissatisfied sections of the country The
administration very properly decided that the
better plan would be to keep these protests in
soak until the banks should have been put into
operation and then weave out the matter. The
most vigorous protest of all came from New
Jersey, which had been transferred from the
New York to the Philadelphia district The
Federal Reserve Board is to go into the merits
of this protest on January 90. The row. raised
by Baltimore over the location of the Federal
Reserve Bank in Richmond is of historic men,
try January c is the date set for the hearing
of the arguments OF the Baltimore bankers
Meantime the balance Of the country seems to

rangements. Charlotte Observer.

allowed, without protest TO refuse law enforce
ment? One may believe very firmly that the
final solution of tho problem VIII not be the
abolition OF the segregated district, but that dis.

we have the machinery to remove that cause

Regarding the question of the single standard
Of morals. The Vtrgnidn repeats that there is
nc double standard. The very fact that there is
one standard removes the possibility Of there
being another. God did not say to woman. Thou
shalt not" and to man Thou shalt" The pro-
hibition is All inclusive. Just SO. the law
does not say that the inmates of the segregated
district are criminal and the patrons innocent.
The penalty OF the Law is the same for man
or woman. The only difference is in societys
strangely perverted view Of relative values that
denounces one and receives the other
Working on the same problem as the Rich
mond Vice Commission, The Fygintan see
no reason why the enforcement Of the law is not
just as important when it concerns the segre'
gated district as when IT touches the matter of
parking automobiles appropriations for the I'M
employed and similar matters.
For the inmates Of the district The Ftrginbdn
Is not nnsympathetic, as it has been at some
pains 10 state before But The Yirqtni0n fails
to see that this consideration should avail to
prevent the enforcement OF the law. For those
who contend that some provision must be made
for these unfortunatos would state that the
Richmond Social Service Federation, comprising
some Of the city's most intelligent and patriotic
women, has q standing offer to care for any who
may desire their assistance.
The evidence is all in-~the law is sufficient its
exercise In the past has demonstrated that; the
power Of the authorities is ample, the good
women Of Richmond have undertaken to provide
fer all those who. animated by honest desire for
normal living. may be willing TO accept their
assistance. Only one word from the Mayor Of
Richmond Is lacking. VIII it be spoken?

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR SOUTHERN.

The first tangible result OF the increased
freight rates and the opening OF the Stock Ex-
change Is the announcement OF large sale OF
Southern Railroad bonds. The announcement
that The proceeds of this sale will be largely de-
voted to construction purposes means that better
business is abroad for some section and We be-
lieve Richmond will set her share. The Ameri
can Locomotive Works will almost certainly get

means more work for Richmond men

TOR SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

The action of the Norfolk Chamber of Com
merce in deciding TO take steps toward diyerting
trade from South America to Norfolk during the
closure of European ports, is an evidence of pub
lie spirit and enterprise that is commendabfe.
We trust that our Norfolk friends realize that
trade will not come unless there is something
to trade on and that If they really desire bust.
ness with South America they will have to see
to II that business is made possible by the in
vestment and loan OF sufficient capital to start
things moving. At present there is little or no
trade from South America to any port because
there is nothing TO trade German and Eu
ropean capital have been completely with
drawn that only by the substitution of American
dollars will the industries of that section be
enabled TO continue. We trust the ambition OF
the Norfolk Chamber to make Norfolk the chief
port for a South American trade may be real
iyed and that its mission to Baltimore for aid
will prove successful; but only payment for the
privilege viii bring it.
