To the Editor of The Times Dispatch
Sir.-rhrough u friend of mine in
Eichrrond | received a copy Of The
TimcS-Dispatch of Thursday. Juno is,
l"li. in which there appeared an cdi-
torial under the heading Somewhat
Pihlc." This referred TO an ASSOCIATE ed
Press dispatch that I understand went
out from Atlantic City last week. pur-
porting to be an interview with my
self as president Of the Master Car
Builders Association.
Allow me TO say in the first place
that | am not president of the Master
Car Builders Association. nor have I
eyer been. but | am president of the
Railway Supply manufacturers Asso-
citation. Further. never gave OK
preston to tho sentiment expressed i'm
scqucnty your editorial does me a
that no intention OF this kind actuatcd
You; that YOU received your inrorina-
ton from what YOU supposed to be "A
perfectly reliable source. as in this
case the correspondent for the Asso-
ciatcd Press evidently confused me with
the president of the Master Car Build
ers' Association, who may or may not
have given tho interview which ap-
parcntly has had such general public
ity.
Ry correcting the error In your cdi-
toriql YOU will lie doing simply AN act

The One Thing Missing.

The opening this morning of the
Richmond Summer Normal marks
the beginning of the second session
OF a successful educational insti-
tuition Of this city. It's institution
was evidence that Richmond is
alive 10 her educational opportu-
mites. and its success Is a testi-
montal to the foresight and good
Judgment of its conductors. What
a pity that n community SO advanced
AZ Richmond and SO progressive In
educational matters should be be-
hind several other cities and coun-
ties of the State in a matter of the
greatest importance educationally,
namely: compulsory attendance
law.

The World Organizes.

The International Congress Of
Chambers of Commerce. in session at
Paris, has agreed to the establish
ment OF permanent bureau for the
maintenance Of the work Of the
congress. The movement originated
with the American delegates. At
first It met with sturdy opposition,
as Yankee trick" that might con-
ceal somewhere joker. Eventually,
the delegates OF the stronger ma
tons combined with America in au-
thorizing tho bureau.
The development is just one more
indication OF the manner in which
the world is shrinking. in the figura-
tive sense. Where business getting
is concerned and trade bodies essen
TALLY address their efforts to this
end. there arc no political or geo
graphical boundaries. Steam and
electricity have done marvcls in
breaking down barriers Now comes
the bond OF mutual business inter-
csts
II need not OF course, be expect
ed that the creation of n world de
organization of this character will
make competition less keen The in
ternational bureau would merely
exercise the functions OF the United
states Chamber Of Commerce. a body
that has made itself of recent months
helpfully active In molding business
sentiment along constructive lines
Carried into the larger field. these
activities should be of help in clari-
/ Tying international trade relations
everywhere, In promoting reciprocity
in legislation touching economic in
terests. and. necessarily. in the work
OF developing the waste places.

Good From Mediation.

Two American universities have
just conferred an honorary degree on
Ambassador Naon, from the Argen-
tine Republic and one of the Mexican
medintors. AS compliment to
Naon personally, and to our gov
eminent, the Argentine recently ele-
waited him from minister to ambas-
sador. He Is said to have made a
widely favorable impression at
Niagara.
The incident is cited to show that,
irrespective of the final issue OF the
attempt at mediation. good will
come out of the activity OF the repre-
sentatives Of the three South Amer
lean countries.
The best authorities tell us that
anti-Am erican feeling still persists
throughout Latin-America. Tho
friendly Offices exertcd by the A b
G diplomatists in the Mexican i'm
broglio are likely to have a bcneti-
cent influence on these adverse sen-
timents. Now, if our business men
will use more Intelligence in their
method of approach to Latin-Amer-
lea, particularly South America, we
shall begin to reap tho commercial
rewards We have right to expect.

From "rhe Child in the Street,

Weaving your fancies through your
little day,
stand and watch you, busy at your
play:
Such simple things for toys are strown
around,
The treasures In your wandering you
have found.
Each common pebble is for you gem:
The home1y dust that soornful con-
denim,
And from my hurrying feet impatiently
shake,
You hand to me to show me my mis-
take.
You cannot see the sunset crimson
glow.
Or watch the stream through flowers
murmuring flow.
Hcmmed in by walls far over YOU tina 1
rise,
Still you can build yourself a paradise.

brutal Nursema,dr.

To the Editor of The Timos- Dispatch
Sir.-1s there no way to protect inn
nocent babes and helpless children
from tho inhuman treatment of cruel
nurses? You have only to 20 to one
OF our parks in the afternoon to see
enacted daily scenes of cruelty that
cry out for shame and stir the very
depths of our hearts with pity. This
cruelty at the hands OF brutal nurses
should receive some public notice, and
be met with some merited punishment.
This afternoon at CANDLES Hill Park.
q young nurse WAS sitting under the
shade of 4 tree when the child intruSt-
ed to her care toddlcd over to tho by
drant for water; without rhyme or
reason the nurse flew into :: fearful
rage. rushed over and caught tho child
by one arm, swinging il along with
terrible abuse back to her shaded seat.
The child screamed with terror and
pain, and I turned my head away, for
tho sight was sickenlng. Some time
ago | saw another nurse in the shade
enter tanning her beau for two hours.
while II helpless babe lay in its car
riage under the rays OF sweltering
sun. neglected and seemingly forgotten.
These scenes Of cruelty are of daily oc-
currence. and are practiced upon chill
dren who for the most part arc too
young to mako known TO the home peo-
pie the cruelty and brutality or their
nurses.
am told IT is needless to report
these cases, as parents Will not believe
II truce their nurse, and will likely
tell the ihformcr To attend to his own
business. We have laws to protect
dumb animals from cruel masters: can
we not find some means to protect our
children from brutal inhuman nurses i?
IT would greatly minimize this evil
if mothers would employ old. settled
nurses instead of these heartlcss. giddy
girls. who give far moro care and at
tention To their young, sleek beaux than
they do TO the child iutrustcd 10 their
care MRS. l.. Il. POWELL.
