Worth had got welthy studying how ia

thing. Pa sed, & wen you see this gentel-
man you will realize how much we hav
lost by not beeing effishunt.
Mister Worth was a littel, thin man
with glasses. He was very polite & nice
to Ma & me, but almoast the minnit after
he was nice to us he started talking about
effishunshy. He began looking at the
parlor.
That chare ought to be over in that
corner. he sed to Pa.

That is natural, sed Ma. ! can see why
that sort OF con-cent-rashun changes a

men Of tdoay wud forgit bizness cares &
worries for an hour or SO & talk long

laltly as II the earth was one big round
grind-stone & that all the men had thare
noses rite to II. Can't we ever get min

But you do not understand, sed Mr..
Worth. In these days OF achievement &
bustel, a man has no chance to dreem.
He must be UP and doing sumbody. lie
must face the wurld with alert, keen eyes
looking on every side to see WHARF the
defekts OF our clvilizashun exist. How
many servants hav you? he sed to Ma,

That is the whole trubbel, sed Mister

You Are Very Critical.

Dear Miss Fairfax: / am a young girl
of 20 and very much in love with young
man two years my senior. l have been
going out with him to various places for
the last month. But | have broken my
friendship with him because he attends
cabaret shows and keeps very late hours
Please advise me II | am right IN doing
so, as / love this fellow very much.
HEARTBRO<EN Il. A.
Don't be over-critical. Cabarets and
late hours In themselves are not wrong.
If the young man does not drink or as
sociate with evil people he is doing Moth
ing improper. Be careful lest your I'M
just action in depriving him of your
friendship drive him TO harmful COM
panlons.

mother love and the welfare Of her child
Mrs Jagendorf is a poor woman OF
humble station in life, who, having more
little mouths TO feed and more babies to
look after than she could manage, in
moment of desperation gave the littlest
baby and the one that cried the most
to woman, Of whom she knew nothing
to take care Of As there was no money
forthcoming for the babys keep, the
woman got tired of It and left 1t in a
doorway, from which II was rescued and
sent to a founding asylum, and from
there, so strange are the turns of the
wheel OF fate, the infant was adopted by
a wealthy family and taken out west TO
live
1t appears that outraged mother love at
last woke up in Mrs. Jagendorfs breast,
and, after having given her baby away
TO a casual stranger she met in the
street. she began to pine for the lost
child and to seek 1t through all Of the
institutions OF the city
At last her search has been rewarded
insofar that the child has been traced
and Its whereabouts and we'll being es-
tablished. 1t has been adopted by a fam
lily of wealth, education and fine social
standing. 1t bears their name and is
loved and cherished in every respect as
If 1t were their own child, and 1t will be
given every chance in life, and II left
alone 1t will never know that its foster
parents are not its real parents.
But this poor mother demands her
child, and has appealed to the law to re-
store 1t to her, although she knows per-
fectly well that she sacrifices the child
in doing so.
She will take the child from a luxurious
home to bare and poor one she will
drag 1t down to a lower station in life:
she Will deprive it of the advantages OF
education and the start in life that cut
Off so many weary years OF struggles;
she will give It toll for ease. want for
plenty, shabby clothes for good ones-and
all just to crafty her own maternal in
stinct.
It is an interesting situation. What
would you do If the case was your own?
Would you love your child so passionately
that you would take 1t back at any cost
to the child, or would you be capable of
the sublime unselfishness of mother love
that would enable you to effacc yourself
completely from the chlld's life II it was
for that childs good?
II you were desperately poor and knew
that your child was destined to become
pitiful. stunted little child slave II you
kept it, would you be heroic enough to
give II to those who could care for 1t and

FOR TAX REVISION.

A practical step toward the revision OF the tax
laws OF Virginia has been taken by the general
assembly in providing for a commission Of ten
TO look thoroughly into this entire subject and
report in time for the report to be considered by
the general assembly at a special session to be
held next January. The commission OF ten is a
great improvement the plan first endorsed by
the Joint committee on finance for special COM
mittee OF twenty members divided equally be-
tween the senate and house. There to be three
members from the senate, four from the house
and three are to be named by the governor.
This ought to give a good commission of
ample size, and with sufficient members of the
Legislature on it to insure the respectful con-
sideration by that body Of such plan and bills as
may be reported. There are no doubt Unequal
tiles in taxation under our present laws, and the
way now seems open for Improvement Much
depends. of course. upon the men chosen for the
commission

Mapp anu-jug bin last night. 1t now goes over
to the senate for action
The senate committee reported the bill out
with amendments Increasing the amount Of
shipment from one to three gallons, and de-
ferring the time at which the bill should take
effect till November l. 1916. OF course, these
Amendments, if adopted, would practically kill
the bill.
The house bin must now be considered by the
senate. The fate or the bill is uncertain, but If
passed IL will greatly improve conditions all over
the State and not in dry territory alone The

The Dewey-Von Diederichs controversy is a

check the development OF the Virginia capital
continued advance movement OF this progressive
city.
Delegate Gum, backed by the county officials
of Henrico, made brilliant fight for his bill
and came very near securing its passage. 1t was
discouraging to see the great majority OF the
members from the counties standing together
against Richmond This spectacle is too often
presented in the general assembly. We would
think that every member of the State legislature
would do everything possible to make the State
capital greater, larger and richer city-certain-
Iy this should be so.
The extension Of the corporate limits of Rich
mond, which has been approved by the city and
is desired by the great majority OF the residents
OF the territory to be taken in, will benefit not
only this city, but the entire State, and. within
time, the county of Henrico itself. It
liz a matter OF history that since the corporate
limits OF the city were last extended the taxable
values OF Henrico have increased far in excess of
what was lost by annexation The same thing
will come to pass again in a few years, and
Richmond, Henrico and the State will all be the
richer
The VirGinian has felt from the beginning that
the Gum bill would be defeated. We rejoice
now that this has come to pass.

The yfce-PreSidenf

The office of vice president is not bad job.
Notwithstanding that 1t is sneered at by some
Of the politicians. 1t is related that Thomas
Jefferson even preferred that job to the presi-
dency. When Madison solicited him to accept
the nomination for the presidency in 1875, JEFF
ferson positively declined, declaring that he
was done forever with public office.
Nevertheless" says Merwin In his biography
of Jefferson. within a few months Mr. JEFF
ferson accepted the nomination chiefly because
with his usual sagacity. he foresaw that the
Republican candidate would be defeated as
president but elected as vice president II must
be remembered that at that time the candidate
receiving the next to the highest number of
electoral votes declared to be the vice
president; so that there always a proba
bility that the presidential candidate OF the de-
feated party would be chosen to the second Of
nee. There were several reasons why Jefferson
would have been glad to receive the office of
vice-president. 1t involved no dsagreeable re-
sponsibility: it called for no great expenditure
of money In the way of entertainments: 1t car
ried good salary 1t required only a few months

PROTECT OUR FORESTS.

The bill creating the Office of State forester
passed the senate Monday night by unanimous
vote, and was yesterday referred to the finance
committee OF the house and favorably reported
by this committee The law is which has
the support Of a great variety of interests. and
is a highly meritorious measure. 1t is based on
the forestry laws now in operation in Kentucky
and Maryland, and Is strong, clean bill The
direction OF the work Is placed under the State
geological commission. and the expenses are to
be paid from the budget of the University Of
Virginia Virginia Is far behind other Southern
States in protecting and developing her forest
resources. The annual destruction of timber
by forest fires amounts to at least s350,0oo No
other State has greater variety OF trees or
timber Of more rapid growth. Virginia the
first colony to cut and export lumber. yet today
there are only five other States that produce
more lumber annually, and the lumber industry
is next to agriculture in the State.
The members OF the house of delegates have
patriotic obligation to the Commonwealth to
pass the forestry bill, for 1t is absolutely neces-
sary TO undertake the protection and betterment
of our vast forest areas. The sentiment Of the
State is in favor OF this bill.

EXTRAORDINARY ACTION DEMANDED.

The situation in the general assembly on the
suti-vice bill demands extraordinary action. The
BILL was taken up on yesterday afternoon IN the
senate about 5:15- o'clock. and debated until 6
,'clock, when the senate adjourned. and by the
rule under which the senate was working, 1t
sould not be taken UP at the night session with
put g suspension Of the rules. which requires
swenty-seven votes, and owing to the conflict
with other legislation. that could not be secured.
The vote for that action was sixteen TO sixteen
Before the adjournment in the afternoon Sena-
tor Mapp asked Senator Hart, who had the floor
IT he would not yield TO motion to take the
bill UP that night, and come to vote on it upon
Its merits but Senator Hart declined to yield
and held the floor till p. NJ. when adjourn
nent STOPPED further consideration of the bill.
The bill should be brought TO vote upon
Its merits The Tirgirian believes in fair play,
while not favorable to the coordinate college
bill, The Firaia4dn insisted on yesterday morn
Ing that the bill should be considered upon the
merits, and vote be taken. It holds the same
position en- the antyice bill. If 1t is to be killed.
1t should be killed in fair fight, and not by a
statute Of Limitation.
On Monday morning during the absence of a
number Of the friends OF the bill, joint resolu-
ton was adopted. which provided that no senate
bills can DC considered by the senate after Tues
day night and similarly that no house bills can
be considered by the house. The friends OF the
measure would have insisted that this bill should
be excepted from the operation OF the rule. had
they been present
Extraordinary action should be taken to secure
a consideration Of the bill and vote its
merits In view Of the Statewide interest in the
measure and its acknowledged Importance the
opponents OF the bill should be unwilling that
1t be defeated except by a majority vote, indeed
they should be ashamed to defeat it by parlia-
mentary technicalities.
The subject is Of such great Importance that
1t 5ustifes the taking of extraordinary measures
to secure vote on the bill 1t is possible tc
reach the bill. even yet II the assembly will rise
10 the occasion recognize the demand of tbs
people that the Slaughter of the tnnocents' shall
cease. and take such action as will permit vote
upon this bill

record in moral legislation Having passed tht

the Soldiers Home as people who ARE getting

attitude OF the people of Virginia towards these
men who wore the gray and risked their lives
in defense of the State in '61-'G5. The people OF

that which we are trying to do for them in their
old age--provide them with a comfortable home
so that their sunset years may be as happy and
peaceful as a grateful people make them
