BUILDING ACTIVITY
ALL OVER THE STATE
Reports From Newport News Indicate
There is Exceptional Activity
In That Growing City.

Not only Is the great building ac-
tivity In Richmond, bu; from every
section OF the State comes encouraging
reports of increased prosperity and
awakened activity. The following
from the Newport News Press shows
how that city Is growing:
City Treasurer Thomas Newman
states that he believes there is more
building being done here now than
except about 1890, and takes very
optimistic view of the prospects of
Newport News.
The statement of the city treasurer
Is one of hundreds OF similar state
ments that are made every day
Knockers" seem to have disappeared
with the tidal wave of prosperity and
the great influx of population seems
TO have not only brought boosters, -
but converted everyone here into the
boosting" variety.
1t now is generally believed that the
population of the city ranges between
10000 and $4,000 people. The census
has not been taken for several years.
but every house in the city Is occu-
pied and scores of new DWELLINGS are
being erected on every side.
Business along the waterfront con-
tinues good. the shipyard still has
more work that at any other time in
its history and more than any other
yard in the world at this time and
people of all trades and professions
are finding no cause for complaint.
The municipal small boat harbor In
proving the success which It's advo-
Gates predicted for It years ago and
new industries are being located slow
ly but surely.
New schools are to be erected. This,
according to members of the board OF
school trustees. will mean that the
population OF the city will not only In
crease. but that a great part of the
transient population will become Use
full citizens of the community.

Democrats who are vocifer-

issue of the national campaign
shall be the person whom they
expect to renominate for the
presidency should not overlook
the fact that this cry is u con-
iession of failure rather than n
shout of triumph.
We may be very sure that if
the democrats had any other IL
tie TO a vote OF confidence from
the American people. they
would not fail to mention il.
When they say. "Wilson-thats
all, they say what they mean
and every one knows why they
say it.
Carranza was recognized by
tne W ilson administration as
the dc fncto president Of Mexi-
CO, not because Carrnnza had
any sufficient claim to rccog-

body and Cnrranzn happened to

ton. But with all his faults
and no one has criticized those
faults SO severely as members
of his own party--the record of
Wilson as president is so much
better than the record of the
democratic party in congress
and in the various branches of
the diplomatic service, that it
is not at all surprising that the
democrats should strive to
make the people forget every
hing but Wilson.
Even at that, Wilson was G..
lected as minority candidate,
and there is every reason to be
lieve that he is weaker as a can

ago.
