RiCl,Inonti's Part

IN connection with tho proposed linking
OF the capital and the coast by mod
ern highway. here is ono fact that should
he held in mind: there is no greater en-
'hnSiasm for such project among the
cities of the Tidcwatcr than there is i'm
Richmond. The people OF this community
lar from being Indifferent OF antagonistic
are united and thoroughly in earnest in
the belief that this connecting link ought
to be built and built speedily

inc choice of route, but chiefly il an
pears, because OF the fact that the program
supported by the Underwater cities would
not bring the highway to Richmond. n
considerable body of our people has with
heid approval OF the Underwater proposal
The fact that the completed highway would
fall short OF Richmond by some miles and
That this city could have no assurance what
ever as to the time when the road would
be extended To our gates has materially
diminished the attractivencss of the pIan
here.
One means OF overcoming this obstacle
which certainly may not he regarded as in
npcrabir-suggests itself: the doubling OF
Richmond's share OF tho contemplated adj
vance To the Highway Commission making
1t SfNe,ooo instead OF 100000 With a
definite agreement To the effect that Tho
highway would be brought all the way 10
Richmond, il is not unlikely that this city
would take more readily to a proposal
carrying tho heavier quota OF expense Ger
tainly. the matter of funds is not holding
Rchmond's Endorsement in check; the de-
mand here is for a capt. alt o-coast highway
and, if that could be guaranteed, Richmond
probably would not hesitate at doubled
quota OF the joint advance
Our friends of the Tidcwatcr should not
too readily assume that we are holding
back because we lack interest in n high
way or because the prospect of having TO
underwr'e an advance of 100000 has
proved intimidating With encouragement,
Richmond may 70 further than she had

Approaches His Task with Courage

COMMISSIONER CLYDE AITCHISON,
~ of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, Is distinctly not one of the country S
most popular citizens Since he has again
been put AT the head Of fuel distribut ion,
there are many who recall with sadness
and other emotions the days of September
and October, 1920. when the nations bust
ness was nj the peak. and there were not
sufficient cars to carry II coal supply that
was in itself insufficient to supply tho
demand. Mr. Aitchison did valuable serv,""
iii stimulating fuel production but Il ,
were Disadvantages In plenty over his dis
tribution.
The trouble with coal allotment lies of
course. in the impossibility of supplying
everybody. Each individual believes that
his own needs arc the most important. that
they are vital To the continued life of the
community. and by comparison he dis
counts the wcightncss of the necessities
of others whom he may see supplied or
necessity Mr.. Aitchison disappointed many
people. and possibly by the manner of his
rcfusals he offended number who might
otherwise have been put in more amiablo
humor
Yet there is as good chance Of success.
IL not better. under his administration,
than with almost any one else one could
name. He has behind him tho experiences
of 1920 and he can draw upon that period
of stress for much direction. There is no
question of his ability; none of his courage.
Perhaps the best sign is the carncstncss
we had almost said the solcmnity with
which he recognizes and approaches the
vast responsibility placed in his hands In
his telegram Of yesterday to the State Cor
poratiOn Commission, seeking its assist
ancc i'll local handling of national service
mis-
sion TO the public service with the arresting
words Emergency most acute and requires
best efforts of all under common plan if
distress which will come is to he mitigatcd ="
1t is plain he believes public distress is
now unavoidable, and cannot he ESCAPED
nut only mitgatcd. 1t is plain he docs not
underestimate tho gravity Of the occasion
and that he approaches his task with rcso-
luton to summon all the powers and re-
sources obtanahlc. There is much in his
attitude to encourage the nation.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER

Mother.
There Is magic word
That belts the Earth with love-
Wherever spoken tongue Is heard
or COOS the turtle dove;
Wherever prattlinE tongue
Comes from n rocking crib,
Where children play their toys among
Or struggle with 4 bib
Where men grow faint and sigh
Where troubles voice is stirred,
The last OF every thought to die
VIII be that magic word;
And let the stars grow cold,
Let brother fight with brother
All language will forever hold
The simple name OF Mother"
First to her babes embrace,
Loves messenger is she
who smiles Into an infants face
Ever so tcnderlyi
Ana first at last, when one
Has run his race. and lies
Facing the red descending sun
Of his enfolding skies.
