OABNEY AND GORDON
STILL AFTER BANK
SAILING THROUGH GEORGIA AND
FLORIDA WITH OBJECT IN
VIEW FOR RICHMOND.

That the committee appointed TO
secure for Richmond one OF the new
federal reserve banks is still on the
job and making great progress is EVIL
deneed by the fact that they have not
stopped at enlisting the cooperation
of North and South Carolina, but have
taken representative business men of
those States with them on their mis-
sionary tour of Georgia and Florida.
Horace Smith. who attended to the
publicity work OF the committee on
the tour OF the Carollnas. said yester-
day that w. T. Dabney, business man
ager Of the Business Mems club. and
r. L. Gordon, assistant cashier of the
Planters National bank. are en- tour
of the principal cities and towns OF
Georgia and Florida. and said that
they are making great Roadway.
Besides some of the most promi-
nent bankers OF North and South

Endorses Norfolk.

II is gratifying to note that the legislature
now in session in Richmond. has endorsed the
Norfolk Portsmouth yard for the location OF
the new drydock. and requested the Virginia
members of congress to aid in the effort.
Many times has this paper pointed out the
interests that the State should have in these
matters. Few States have more than one large
port, but all the States recognize the value of
such ports to the whole State The Hamoton
Poads is the finest harbor in the United States
and the Norfolk Portsmouth navy yard the most
advanta geously situated in the country and I
well becomes our legislators and congressmen
to look industriously to the interests of both of
them.
The States of Massachusetts,, New Yark-penf-
sylvania and Maryland ever alert in the in
tarest or their great seaport. and not only in
congress. but from the States themselves they
are constantly receiving aid, both financial and
legislative.
Delegate Hugh A. White. OF Rockbridge
county, offered the resolution in the legislature
endorsing Norfolk for the drydock and he can
rest assured that the people here are grateful
to him for his timely conside ation.-Norfolk

THE TAX BILL.

Nothing remains to be done in regard to the
bank deposit tax measure which was adopted
by the house of delegates yesterday except to
get together with the senate as to the rate OF
tax. This will probably be done today. and the
measure, which will bring into the State treasury
$4,000 year. can go to the governor for his
signature.
The fight the bill has been drawn out
and bitter and much valuable time has been
lost. or rather expended In It's passage. 1t is
just as well to get 1T over with at once and
get to other business. and It is to be hoped that
the joint compromise committee will settle the
matter at once

SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

The passage OF the Kenyon red light" bill. by
in Washington will be closed by the end Of this
week. has brought forth tremendous amount
of quaint argument from all sources as to the
ultimate result The good old phrase necessary
evil" is worked threadhare, and the horror OF
having former residents Of the red light" dis
trict of Washington turned loose on the com
rnunity Is depicted in most awful colors,
The problem of caring for these unfortunate
women IL serious one. One that will require
time and patience, and much thought, but surely
the city Of Washington is capable of taking care
OF such problem Work can be found for them
and. although they will probably be charges
on the community for some time there is no
doubt but that provision will be made for them
to earn honest. decent livings
The horror of the women's condition after
they have been driven out of the district which
was set apart for them and forced to seek other
means of making a living is we think. little
overdrawn. Certainly no condition of starva,
ton or discomfort could be worse than their
condition while in the segregated district. Those
who are protesting most violently against their
being turned loose on the community to earn
their living decently seem to forget what their
life has been.
great many Will go to other cities. Some
WILL probably, come to Richmond But some,
and If It be but one, the reform will not
have been In vain, will go decently to work and
mend life that belonged to the fiend of dark
ness before the Kenyon bill was passed.
| Undoubtedly the vast majority of people will
| refuse to employ these women. but there are
some who will, and those will be sought out by
the helping hands of Washington and the means
of livelihood will be given the unfortunates who
want to live decently. The American people
have vast store Of charity for the unfortunate
and If one Of these poor women shows the
slightest trace of desire to back into de
eency this charity will be given her-

Boycott the Billboard.

Boycott. Lovers of nature have adopted a
new plan to wipe out the disfiguring nuisance
of the billboard. In New England they are
boycotting all billboard advertisers and sending
word accordingly to the merchants who patronize
them The effect of this boycott has been felt.
Many of the billhoards now carry only the dis
carded advertisements that newspapers and
magazines reject. The members of societies for
the protection of natural scenery are determined
that the boycott of the billboard nuisance shall
be extended everywhere quickly as possible
1t sounds the death knell OF growing and I'M

FAR BEHIND THE FACTS

So many grossly erroneous state ments have been sent out from Washington about the size of the worlds wheat crop that the govern ment is probably responsible for the bluuderiug. It is unlikely that other sources of statistical intorma- ton would so closely agree in a great mistake.
 It is said that the wheat crop Of the United States will be "ai- most oue-balf of the average year ly wheat production of the entire world" That is, if the present forecast of 9Oo,00O,O00 bushels shall hold good at the end of the harvest. As a matter of fact the worlds wheat crop has lately averaged about four times 9oo,- OO0,0OO bushels. Last year it was calculated by high authorities at about 4,OOO,OOO,OOO bushels.
 This is important because of is bearing upon the probable market conditions of the next year. An n- crease of perhaps 180,0o0,oo0 or even 150,0OO,000 bushels in the American wheat crop would be much more disturbing to farmers and dealers if the worlds ordinary supply were only half as much as it is. The statement sent out from Washington is not nearly so unfavorable to wheat producers as 1t looks because it is grossly tn- accurate in respect to the world $ crop.
