Suggestion for Trnfnc Regulation.

To the Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--Refcrrne To your editorial anent inc
Rose traffic resolution. I would like to suggest
that the fault is not In the new traffic law, but
In the manner of its observance.
At the intersection points the street car com.
pany should have switchman to switch all
in their proper direction. and then when
n cross town arrived at intersection points
IL would turn into the street without
stopping AZ tho is now. tho motornian
must open tho forward door of his car. alght.
turn tho switch. and then board his car before
turning into the street. White all this
delay is being occasioued. the public is OK
pectcd to wait. and must not go about It's busi-
ness although tho door Is open. inviting a
breach of tho ordinance.
II seems to the writer that the proper way
is to make "a traffic law easily observable. and
not I, expect the public to do an entirely un-
necessary and illoEical thing merely because
il is tho traffic reeulaton. II is seriously to be
doubted if the present method of procedure
really speeds UP the traffic, for certainly all the
cross town ears must stop twice now where
formerly only stop required in many
cases There only very few points where
SwitChmen would he required. and the extra
cost involved would be more than compensated
by the difference i'm tho service.

continues:
This fact shows that combination

against which Europe must arm her

finally dropped the Monroe Doctrine

Justice for tho Negro

trains, on which negro laborcrs are being
transported from this TO some other State
by exactly what legal process This detention

alton whatever
fhe Times Dispatch is opposed. and on more
ihan one occasi~ has expressed its opposi-
ton, To the wholesale labor recruiting cam
paign among the negroes which is now in
progress throughout the South These activi-
ties should be discouraged in every lawful
way. for the sake Of the negroes who thus
are lured to unfamiliar and uncongenial fields,
as we'll as for the sake Of the communities
whose prosperity their exodus affects The
agents should be required To nav n high
license tax and 10 give bond for the faithful
performance OF the contracts into which they
enter
But the negro who desires TO leave Viz
Ginia. either alone or in company with other
negroes, should be permitted TO leave His
virtual arrest, for no other crime than desire
10 change his residence. is an outrage, which
ne VIII resent and which every right thinking
white man will resent also. Employment
agents who violate the law deserve punish
ment and ought to be punished but there
is no statute Of Virginia which authorizes the
arrest or detention, except as witnesses of
those with whom such agents have dealt
That snch methods will not cure the situa-
| ton with which they designed to deal
goes without saying. They will make II
worse. Good relations between the races are

The important factor OF climate which favors
recovery from consumption is the number of

Nearly every victim OF pulmonary tuberculosis
feels that a change OF climate offers the hest
opportunity of getting well. This too frequently
leads the misguided invalid TO journey to some
which will him in mysterious way
And, unfortunately. there are still physicians
who encourage the practice without cautioning
the patient about many things which are essen
tial for recovery.
First, has the patient sufficient funds to pay
his railroad fare TO employ good medical SER
vices in the new home. to buy wholesome. we'll
cooked food, and to live without worry for

is far better at home.

1t proves necessary TO accept some indoor job
or some outdoor job demanding too great

for the patient to remain at home.
Has the patient ever been away from home
before? Is he likely to be homesick among
strangers? IIomcsckness is bar to recovery
from any disease. IT Inconsistencies is to he the
