APATHETIC
ELECTORATE.

The Richmond Registration Asso-
citation has again begun active work
with view Of arousing all men of the
city to the necessity of qualifying to
vote. Members of the association say
that there is only one answer to the
problems which now confront the city
government and that is a large cleo
torate.
The association now has list of
every white male over twenty-one
years old ard the exact status of his
voting qualifications. 1t is the pur-
pose of the organization to see that
every one who is not qualified to cast
a ballot does so at once,
T. M. Darlington, president of the
association, truly says: The essence
of responsible Democratic govern
ment lies in an active electorate.
who will express themselves as to
their choice for office. "Good men
cannot be persuaded to run for office
until they feel that they have the
majority of the voters behind them;
voters who are interested and thor
oughly aroused for the welfare of the
city. The moral and material in
terest of every citizen is directly in
volved in getting out large vote"

MAJOR PULLMAN'S
ADDRESS.

Major Pullman, chief of the Wash
ington police force, accepted an in
vitation to deliver an address before
the Wesley Bible Class of the M.
E. Church South yesterday after
noon. He came here under the sup
position that he was to face such a
class, but was somewhat startled to
find an audience of about three hun
dred. composed OF representative
AleHandrians, who had gathered in
the Young Peoples Building to hear
him. He, however. proved equal to
the occasion, although at first he
manifested signs Of state fright, but
soon recovered his composure, and
delivered an instructive and practical
address.
The speaker said many things
which afforded food for thought es-
pecially when he referred to the fact
that so many men in the church are
ciphers and most of the work falls
upon women. He said, unfortunately
men are too eager to find enjoyment
IN the many amusements of the
world.
Virtually all the denominations of
the city were represented in the au-
dience, and it was the general opin-
ion that Major Pullman should be
invited to repeat his visit to Alex
andria.

THE BALKAN
PUZZLE.

Tremendous interest has sheen
aroused in London by recent develop
ments in the Balkans and many are
those who wonder why, with so much
already on her hands, Germany should
have decided to devote another big
army to operations in thir field OF
war. With the Russian situation be-
coming decidedly unfavorable from
the point of view Of any decision and
with an allied offensive in the west
making steady progress, it seems diff
fcult to understand why the war lords
of Germany should have decided to
turn their activities suddenly to the
Balkans.
It is suggested the King of Bulgar-
ia is probably acting as he is because
he thinks the Austro-Germans have
now no longer chance of winning
the war.
He knows that the Austro-Germans
SueCtlSEHtSS VIII Piooe1DiS pSSi' w
decline next month, and will certainly
begin to decline not later than the end
of the year. He perceives, therefore,
that the Austro- German anxiety will
begin to become acute in quite short
time. He purposes to use them to his
own advantage for the moment.
Having secured the territory his
people covet, having given to the
Austro-Germans that road to Turkey
1 which they have so long desired, he
xviii watch the increasing difficulties
in which the Germans and Austrlans
will find themselves with the pro-
gress of 1916, and, already in posi-
ession Of all that his act of treason
y can give him, he will commit second
act of treason and will appeal to the
allies.

GOVERNORS
APPEAL.

Thursday of next week is the day
set apart by President Wilson Tor
national Thanksgiving. In pursuance
of the course of the executive, Gov
ernor Stuart has issued a proclan1a-
ton calling upon the people OF the
Old Dominion to vie in this time
honored custom. The Governor IN
the preface to his proclamation truly
says:
Divine blessing has come to US IN
forms of bounty, mercy and peace
The wear draws toward close with
the horn of plenty pouring its riches
at out feet. In every section OF our
State there is abundance to satisfy
bodily and physical needs, and on
every side there is wealth OF oppor-
tunity for a larger intellectual he
ardssfssersssdg moral culture. While
IL itsons struggle IN death

En; sf,,.i 4. q. s.tss people are still pros
poious and full of hope.
The suggestion thrown out by the
Governor that there are opportuni-
ties for a larger intellectual lie
brings us up against proposition
that should receive the attention ne
intends. While the Old Dominion has
been blest in basket and store and
our people are far away from the
wolf which is shifting around homes
in the old world with exhausted lar
ders and coal bins while the bleak
winds Of winter are gathering force,
the responsibility of cultivating the
spiritual and intellectual powers
should be apparent in this land of
full and plenty. While some of the
race have been entrusted with seve-
raj talents. the great mass have one
upon which a great interest will be

schoDis ae IL their zenith and the

is no excuse for illiteracy upon the
part of any one; hence ignorance, as
it is defined in the old English Read
crs, is voluntary misfortune. 1t is
difficult however, to get the many to
understand that we are not only res
ponsible for what we do know, but
for that which we could have known

There is no other reason why the
Ferris bill should be opposed. The
talk about injustice TO the state Is
miserable bunc that will be exposed
by a mere reading OF the bill. None Of
the money from leases is to be retain
ed by the national government half

states where power is developed and
the other half 10 the reclamation

In the west. In states where there
are public service commissions with
power to regulate rates and the Is
suance OF stocks and bonds the con-
troll OF rates and service will be en-
tirely with the state commissions.
Therefore the western states will get
the exclusive use OF the lease money
and will be in position to have sole
charge from an administrative stand
point.
The only objection 20 the Ferris
bill is by electric interests that want
nothing to interfere with their ex-
