The decision OF Secretary McAdoo
to acquire the Eleventh Street end of
the block on which the present gov
eminent building stands means in
creased postal facilities for Richmond
with ntsie further delay. It is under
stood that the present buildings on
that property, or at least the bank
building at Main and Eleventh. will
be used for some of the departments
OF the postoffice, thus relieving the
congestion in the office. especially In
the parcels post department. As there
to considerable difference between the
price asked for the property and the
amount appropriated for it's purchase
the government will acquire by con-
domination. The city Is expected to
grant to the government the right to
use fifteen feet of the west side of

giving adequate access to the enlarged

that led Congress to yield 10 the per-
suasion of Congressman Montague and
Senators Martin and Swanson. and

these representatives and to the Cham

1t is stated that the supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department thinks
the additions proposed will meet the
postal needs of Richmond for perhaps
twenty years. II is very likely. how
ever. that the rapid growth of the
parcels post will soon make separate
building or warehouse necessary to
properly handle that business.
The increase of the postal business
is an evidence of Richmond's growth.
We hope the increasingly rapid
growth of the city will soon make an
even larger postoce than is now pro-
posed. necessary.

Good for The virglnian, the Senate
and the Suffragists!

Editor Richmond Virgtniar:
Today's issue of The yirginian IS
exceptionally fine. The very full and
comprehensive reports of legislative
proceedings gives evidence of good en-
terprise on the part of your reporto-
4 al staff and your strong editorial on
strict law enforcement" and your
gracefully just tribute to the noble
womaniy band of equal suffrage lead
crs. are very creditable.
The decisive vote In the Senate
which carried the commissioner clause
OF the prohibition bill to victory makes
good reading to the hosts who ardent
~ desire to see the prohibition stat
rtes rigidly enforced. There was
never anything in the contention that
the creation of this office would be
o reflection upon our Governor. The
situation simply demanded that snch
a governmental department be cre-
ated Just as other special departments
have been formed In our State and our
rational administrations.
AS you so clearly point out, the suf-
fragists have the advantage OF deh-
aite, positive program. and however
much their efforts may be ridiculed in
gome quarters no person who respects
earnest effort and industry can faiI
10 recognize the splendid efforts OF
these woman. among whom are those
as womanIy, as much lovers OF their
honor as any to be found in Virginia..
Permit the writer to add to this
comment his opinion that the very
heart Of the Inspiration that nerves
the jealous suffrage woman to SUCH
splendid endeavor is the love of home.
the ardent desire to conserve the high
est and best interests of our State and
national home-Iife. The equal sur
frage cause has been successfully pro-
PEELED through the horse-laugh stage
and the fog OF sentimental prejudice.
and is more and more coming to be
Justly considered on Its merits as =
vital problem. And the more it re-
ceives honest and careful eonsidera-
ton. the stronger the sentiment be-
