V*., aa aerond-claat matter under act of Congreea of March S. 1*7?, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1?, 1*11 WHAT ?1I.L RICHMOM) ?.BT? The two bids received by the CouncTl . for the electric light and power fran- ; ch!*e suggest once again the pertlnclt ' question: what will Richmond get kg return for the right to use all lt3 streets for fifteen years? The Henrico Company offers $10 for this privilege; a firm cf New York brokers offers $5,000. The Times-Dispatch does not pagler* that any franchise should be | granted. Inf IMS such action will lnev- ! ltably add to the burden of the eon- i sumors. But If the OatHMtH is deter? mined to makffsuch a grant, and bases Its determination on the theory that t competition will help this community, ft ahanld be absolutely certain that . the fullest and moat beneticial compe- : tltlon will be demanded by the orJl- , nance, tinder heavy penalties. The present bids are absolutely J meaningless. Can any sensible man j think that the right to use the city's streets for fifteen years Is not worth j more than $5.0007 Is the rental value] sf the streets only $334 a year? Any , company actually using this privilege to Its full extent should be compelled to pay at least a reasonable return to [ the city. If these bids, on the other j hand. Indicate that there is no real j Intention to furnish an adequate ser- I vice of light and power, but merely to j acquire a franchise with a speculative ; value, then competition, the sole rea- j son advanced for granting the fran- i chlse, will not exist, and the Council j should refuse to pass the measure. | If, moreover. It la declared that the gtty will be amply compensated for| the use of the streets by the increased" ' service and the lower price of electric- j lty, we frankly state that In the paper as at present framed there Is abso- j lutcly no guarantee of any real service or any saving in price. The bond re- : quired for the full execution of the S provisions of the ordinance Is only $10.000, a sum certainly far too small t-> have a real significance In holding ! the grantees to their contract. In ; addition the ordinance. .If fully com- J plied with, requires only that the hold arg of the franchise shall construct one route of the distribution service. There Is no designation of any specific 1 territory to be served or where exlen- ' sl?ns shall be made. All true exten Cons to provide the promised compe? tition must be demanded by the Council through the Street Committee, and ac? cording Jp the opinion of the city coun? sel, such demands can be made the subject of prolonged litigation. The ordinance guarantees nothing. ? mere technical satisfaction of Tts clauses will enable the holder to use this franchise for speculation. The city will get no return for the muaffl- : -cent gift. Of Its streets. The introduc tlon Of otitstde bidders shows how ah- : solutaly essential It Is that the fran- , chlse itself he perfected until it pro? tects the city, regardless of who may buy It. The bids should be rejected by ' ths Street Committee, or such amend- ' rr.ents and restrictions Incorporated In 1 It as to guarantee adequate service at I minimum price j t KITCHEXKR'S EGlTTIIv POLICY. While we seriously doubt, as recent? ly claimed by an aTkaalliHii Cairo correspor.dent, tnat Lord Kitchener bsa already put an end to the Nation? alist movement in Kgypt.

Notably among these are revision of the system of the minor courts, so as to insure squal and exact Justice fur rich and poor, high and low alike, and the establish? ment pt peasant savings banks, by which the fellah is being rescued from the jaws of the "loan sharks." who constitute one of the greatest curses of the land. Whether or not the claim that Lord Kitchener has already put an end to the Nationalist movement is premature. It must be recognized that; the policy he Is pursuing is pregnant '. with prophecy of that attainment, If he continues to be given a free hand. ! WILSON AND FREEDOM OF OPPOR TTXITY. Much has been said to the effect ?hat Woodrow Wilson stands fw en? j 'arged opportunity for the averags man. That Is a general statement, i but it Is a plank In his larger plat- 1 form that Wilson can translate into j most practical results. Every man aOW has opportunity to some degree, hut Wilson believes In striking down. BS far as possible, the unnatural and unjus'.fflable limitations lmposod bv law upon the opportunity of the plain man. He would enlarge the plain man's opportunity by giving him a greater participation In government and vesting him with greater respon- : slbllity for what that government does. He would restore by competi? tion the opportunity of the small business men who has been sent to the wall by illegal combination. He would enlarge the estate of the plain man by removing the protective tar? iff which now practices extortion upon the American people. ( He would enlarge the political op? portunity of ths average man by put? ting political office above pull and above price. He believes that th? poor j man Is Just as much entitled to of-j flee as is the millionaire or the po? litical boss. Tho two cases In which Governor Wilson routed James Smith.; Jr.. the former political proprietor of; New Jersey, Illustrate what tho for- j mer means by freedom of opportuni? ty. The first of the Smith cases was when James Smith, Jr., announced his j candidacy as a Democrat for thai T'nlted States Senate from New Jer-J sey, James E. Mairtine had been nomi? nated at the Democratic primary, but [ Smith felt that that did not matter.! James Smith. Jr., a millionaire and a political power, felt that Martine, a ? poor farmer, could not stand In hlsj way, even If Martine were the choice sf the people. If Wilson had agreed wtth Smith. Smith would have become! Senator, but Wilson stood by the peo-. pi? and by thebr choice, Martine, and: almost forced the election of the! farmer. Instead of the rich man. The second Smith case came this; summer, when the same old Smith an? nounced his candidacy for the other SO IIS 1 SI ship from New Jersey. Against him was pitted William Hughes, who. as an Irish lad, came to America an?: \ was compelled to leave school when' h? was ten to rruake his own way in the world. He met all sorts of dim eultlss. but he went steadily upward, ? Virtll h? won a seat in Congress. His Is the typical story of American grit! overcoming every obstacle. The mil? lionaire boss opposed htm. but Wood irow Wilson again thuncered his de? nunciation of tho man with a bad rec? ord who hoped to make pull the lever to lift Mmself Into the Senate. And; acaln Smith was defeated. Here, then, were two men with SUl pull, without machin? and without money sent into office because Wood-, row Wilson believed in equality of | opportunity. The yardstick by which he measure?* a man's title to office is not pull, but the right. Here, as he would in all things, he made straight th? way for equality of opportunity.' instead of special privilege. PI BI D ~HI4.II M'HOni. iiKOWTH. j I? Philander P Clapton.

Ths vital necessity of affection for the well-being of children has been strikingly shown by figures gathered from an orphan asylum on the Pacific Coast. This institution is a model In every respect, fully equipped with trslned attendants, and provided with the most modern devices for making children healthy and happy. Vet even under these almost perfect conditions, the infant death-rate was much higher than ths normal for children living at home with their mothers. The ex* planatlon Is that the Isolated children withered for lack of maternal cars and affection. Nothing can rcplacs mother love in the daily life of those who need (tenderness pud hkssaatssj relations with loved ones as much as they need food and clothing. Wherever this ideal of supporting the home for the child has been real? ized, the results have been beneficial, rnless the natural instincts of the mother have been In some way de- j stroyed. rhy vice, disease or madness, she Is superior to any other guardian that law or religion can provide.] Moreover. the home Itself is of nupreme value to society. Its influence upon character Is far above what can be supplied by Impersonal care. Nor is the cost greater In the end. In many respects it Is probably less. Cer? tainly if it be Judged bje-the returns in a finer and happier class of citizens, I there can be no question of the im-! portance of this movement for pre-. serving home-life. TAXATION BY APPEARANCES. How waa It possible tor the tax gatherers of New Tork City to add $10.003.000 to the parsons! tax list In a single year? Simply by going about and euspacting that those who wore already paying taxes ought "> pay more, and that those who were not paying at all could end should be made to pay. There were plenty of clues. The ownership of an automo? bile was one test Residence in an expensive apartment was another. Even dressing in the modo was con? sidered a clue. People who ate at first class {restaurants were investigated, is were oocupants of good seats at the Bheatre. People who gave any kind r>f external evidence of prosperity were ronsJd">red. Of course, the Inquisitors did not al? ways strike pay dirt Evidence of pos? session of wealth does not always mean that wealth, exists. Tot the sryo tem undoubtedly made many tax Joiigrrs come to time, with a result that was financially moat satisfactory to the tax collectors. The New Tork tax-gatherera do not take a man at his word when there is evidence tend? ing to discount his testimony. MISLEADING THE PEOPLE. The laze well .Republican, in its issue >f October 10, prints a news article purporting to Inform the people as to the merits of the pending constitu? tional amendments permitting unlim ted tenure to city treasure-r-s and city commissioners of the revenue Instead i >f stating the arguments on both sides, t unfairly and misleading! y prints a on*--sided argument from the Lynch t>UTg News for the passage of the amendments. If the Republican had confined its argument to Its editorial columns, It might bare been Justified, but It Is unfair and unjust to the people to substitute in the news col? umns for an Impartial statement of the arguments on both sides an in? correct, biased and misleading argu? ment for one side. Why cannot the Republican state both sides of the case? Why does it argue in its news columns a hen the proper place bo do that Is within its editorial columns? "What has become of the good old fashioned bousekeeper who used to serve the pot 'Hcker* that the turnip j salad was cooked in?" asks the Green- i vll.e Piedmont.

CALLING FOR HIS CONFEDERATE By John T. McCutchcon._ for by the writer, by the party named in the article, as well as by a number of other people. at W. CI*AT. Hickory. N. C. Wilsen, Says the Spider. Sum. thing- happened In Catawba County, near Hickory, N. C. yesterday , that has struck terror to the hearts or the Republicans, created a panic in the camp of the "Bull Moosers." and caused general Jubilation in the ranks of the Democrats, for the incident is looked upon hers as being a most won derful prophecy that Wilson will hs our next President. The thing that happened Is this: Yesterday evening several little tots, children of J. w. Starnes, went for a stroll in a com field in the creek bot? tom near the house. They were chas? ing butterflies and having a good time in general, when Wesley, a bright boy of six summers, noticed a beautiful spider web hanging gracefully between two stalks of corn. So unusually beautiful was the web. and of such splendid design that It attracted the attention of this son of the soil, and he sat down to watch the spider finish I Its work, as ? t seemed to be busy put-! ting tbe finishing touches in the cen-j tre of the web. After watching for a few moments he saw that the spider was taking the whito fuzz from off the backs of two moths that had been en? tangled in the web, and was weaving it into letters. And so plain and dis? tinct were the letters that this little boy. who is in the first grade at school, could read them without the least ef? fort. Tbe spider began with a beauti? ful capital "W," and followed it with the letters "llson" in a smaller design And so surprised snd astonished was Wesley at the action of the spider tha? ne called his brothers and sisters as come and witness the wonder. And so surprised were they all. they decided to 1 take the spider, web and all to the house and show them to their parents. And so surprised, were the parents that they called In passers-by to witness the work. Tbe spider that did the work was a large spotted variety known to natural ista as the Harlequin, and the writing was as plain and perfect as writing' could be made. The word was In the centre of ths large web. and was made of different material from the web. so that the word "Wilson" stood out very prominent. But the significant thing about It all Is the fact that the web was found la the corn field which only last year brought fame and glory to Ernest, aa older brother of Wesley's, who tended the field, by producing a record-break? ing prize-winning crop of Fit 1-1 bushels to tbe acre. This fact la thought to be an omen that tells of a period of great prosperity when Wil? son shall bo elected President. Tbe two moths (one was large- than I ths other) are supposed to represent I Ta't and Roosevelt, and the spider. ' writing the name with the fuss from I off their backs, ts supposed to be Wil? son writing hi* nams In the annals of ; history by getting ths votes from Tagt 'and Teddy. i This story Is vouched for by J.

Under the Sherman antitrust law this award will be trebled, malting the total amount $210.000.
