THE STATE SHOULD no SOMETHING WORTH WHILE.

engaged so many years In It's beneficial work Of re-
forming the wayward that members OF the Legislature
cannot fail to view with sympathy the appeal for $4,000
needed 10 assist In paying for the new Institutional
buildings at Claymont
The full text Of the appeal made to the Legislature
has appeared in columns It is couched In business
like terms which no doubt have made a favorable i'm
preston upon the public and the legislative mind
For longer than quarter Of century the school
has been in existence In that time has done splendid
and far-reaching work. the full Of extent Of which be-
cause Of Its very nature cannot be measured
1t represents large degree OF individual sacrifice
Of tlme money and energy.
Much Of the money for It's support has come from
private sources.
This is the time OF all times when the state should
step in and do something worth while to assist In pay
ing for the new buildings which are serving such
good purpose for the entire commonwealth

PASSING THE BONES
IS MERE INCIDENT

The Baptist seventy million
campaign" is the official name given
the gigantic undertaking Of the South
ern Baptist churches. A leader ex-
planned the reason for not stressing
the dollar rmark" this way:
Il walk down Main street and am
hungry. / go into a restaurant and
buy meal / pay the man at the
Gesk a dollar. What satisfies me is
the fact that my appetite Is appeased.
The passing of the dollar from my
pocket to his cash register isNmerely
incidental.
And SO with the undertaking that
confronts US. Incidentally We have
got to raise seventy-five million dol
lars, but back OF 1t all there must he
a spiritual awakening. To this end.
the month of September has been set
aside as microscopy month. The
burden of every prayer should be for
spiritual awakening, the object of
our hearts desire to carry the gospel
message to those who haven't the op-
portunities we have and who are not
provided with proper facilities for re-
ceiving the gospel.
I'm one place, for instance, is q
Baptist hospital. 1t is filed. There
is a crying need for more room to
accommodate more patients Money
will be incidental. The building Of
larger quarters will be the one aim
in view in this case. And so on down
the line. when the time comes. ami
IL we can get our people to see the
spiritual need OF the world, the sew
enty-five million will roll in in the spe-
cited time

BISHOP O'cOAnELL
SCORES D0lSHEv|Sh|

That Bolshevism and socialism.
with the dangerous radical ideas they
express. can be restrained and sup
pressed by the combined efforts Of the
school and colleges OF America. Is
the assertion made by Bishop D. j.
lO'ConneIl, in a speech before the Nc
CHI Catholic union under the aus
rices OF the Catholic Education as
ISOLATION.
Upon the. teachers in the schools, he
said, devolved the duty and respon-
sbility of instiIling in the minds OF
rupiis a'pspir.e OF patriotism as OPP
posed to radicaiism. Ignorance, he
lsaid. breeds Bolshevism. and educa-
ton is the most effective weapon
with which to prevent the Bolshe-
VISITS and other Hire sradse from dis~
rupting national existence.
Addresses were made also by the
Rev. j. j. Bowler. OF ST. Peters: the
Rev. Hs j. M'Keefrey. st. Patarick's;
Father Albert, ST. MaYy's: Father
Hannigan. St. Joseph's church: Henry

others. Every Catholic parish in the

meeting.
Members OF the xaverian Brothers
order and delegations from Catholic
societies were In attendance.

trains were operated by this road,
and $3.50 OF them reached their ter
minals on time, while 6,551, or 1877

The general average for all rail-
roads during the month did not eaual
the high records set In May ana
JJne, although II continued to be
good in comparison with earlier
records. There were 53,256 passenger

SUFFRAGE LEAGUE
| EXPRESSES THANKS

The Equal Suffrage league OF Vir-
Ginia, at a recent meeting held in
this city, requested their secretary to
send the following letter to members
o. the house of delegates voting
against adoption of the Oxlin resolu-
ton identical with the Leedy 7reso-
Slutions).
The Equal Suffrage league of vir-
Einia, representing It's centers of SUI
fiage sentiment in the state and many
Thousands of Virginia suffragists, both
men and women, affiliated with the
National American Woman Suffrage
association---the' conservative body of
suffragists in America--desires to ex-
support given by you in the house of
delegates on September and 4.
we appreciate your fairness in re-
jecting a negative resolution while a
positive resolution was still in COM
mittee awaiting action at the proper
time, which, in your. judgment. was
rot the special session. called for good
roads.
We appreciate further the spirit
which prompted you to spread upon
the records of the house Of delegates
your position in repudiating the lam
guage of the negative resolution as
AispgIoHiuS u legislature III
a Democratic state to the national
loader OF its party, and to the chair
nan OF It's national committee.
We have reason to believe with
you that the majority vote does not
express the sentiment Of the house of
delegates toward equal suffrage or the
ratification Of the federal amendment,
but that many of the members voting
Tor Its adoption were prompted out
their desire to keep the question out
cf the special session. Several mem
ters casting the adverse vote have so
Informed us.
1T is matter Of justifahle pride
10 US that our own Virginia men
should wish to confer us themselves
the right Of citizenship rather than
have 1t conferred upon us automati-
cslly by the men of thirty-six other
states. We rejoice with you In this
victory for suffrage in the Virginia
legislature, the negative resolution
having failed of passage In the upper
house"

INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

According to plars now being
worked out by the Richmond Anti
tuberculosis association. regular
health examinations will be conduct
/ ed among all employees in Industrial
plants in the city. The association be-
I lieves it will be possible to put the
plan into effect carly in the winter
! according to an announcement made
yesterday afternoon by Miss Blanche
Webb, executive secretary.
1T is proposal full of big POSSIBLE
tiles" said Miss Webb land we in
tend making IL a leading feature of
our work. We are counting on arous-
ling the 'public's enthusiasm for and
knowledge of what health insurance
means to a degree sufficient to justify
the experiment. Under our plan work
ers will be apprised at regular in
steal condition. We have hopes of
lief that health is the greatest asset in
I the world and that disease is some
thing OF which to be ashamed"
Asserting that tuberculosis Is man
kinds most insidious enemy, Miss
| Webb stated that records show the
toll taken by the disease is very large
among workers who. though not feel
ing wholly fit, will not spare the time
for a physical examination until a
complete breakdown forces them to 1t.
The disease creeps on unawares."
,he remarked. Many pay scant at
tention, or none at all, to that tired
feeling and other danger signals. and
then they collapse, facing a long pc
Rod of illness. or death itself. 1t
should be stated, incidentally. that few
have saved an adequate sum to defray
the exnenses OF an illness of any
length"
Miss Webb said stress would be laid
upon the fact that tuberculosis Is cur,
able IL the patient learns of his con-
dition in time and follows the advice
that anti-tuherculosis workers are
qualified to give. I'm spite of the ac-
tive warfare that has been waged
against the nalady for several years
deaths are still very high" she said.
ut is for this reason that we propose
adopting new tactics in our fight in
Richmond"
| Free chest examinations will be re-
sumed by the association the week of
! September l 5 in the section In the
western part of the city known as
welfare District No. Announce
ment will be made soon of the loca-
/ ton and hours for the first of the new
series OF clinics. Miss Webb said. The
clinics already held in %this district
were largely attended and resulted in
I the discovery of tuberculosis cases.
