Notwithstanding the distressing
weather conditions which cut short a
day marked for perfection, the \ irginia
Historical Pageant yesterday emerged from
the formative stage radiant with the plow
otai thoroughgoing success. The downpour
at (night prevented the full flowering that
vtould'otherwise have come with the open- |
ing day; the promise of the foronoon cere
monies was unmistakable, popular en- i
thusiasm mounted at every turn of the hril- |
liant coronation celebration, and poignant
regret was the lot of a vast throng at the
outdoor theater when the clouds opened in
tho evoninp. The papeant celebration had
burst upon a far-gathered multitude with
a promise so rinpinp and sweeping that
blighting of the tirst night's performance
caiU'Vn- a heavy affliction.
Nevertheless, the very brilliance of the
start, tli? ? conviction on every hand that this
wonderful undertaking has been broupht
a" Jsuperh measure of perfection the
?promise nf yesterday and the whole spirit
Jb'i-'tlHi"enterprise have placed a rainbow in

President how far it would bo possible for
the roads to go In bringing down their rates
without injury to the stockholders.
It is easily foreseen that this committee,
under the less than 5 per cent of railway
earnings during the iirst quarter of the
year for the country as a whole, will find
no feasible way of reducing existing rates
without inviting bankruptcy, unless this
loss of revenue is offset by lowered costs
of operation. That necessarily brings to
iho front the question of reduction of the
wages of railroad employes. So, if "moral
suasion" is to have its perfect working, in
securing the relief which the President in
sists must be realized before there is a
return to normality, he will of necessity
have to call a third conference of represen
tatives of the railway labor unions with the
view of persuading them to assume their
share of the burden of unshakling the
country's business. I'nder the conditions
which now prevail, railway freight reduc
tion and railway wage reduction'are insep
arably bound together, and relief front the
burden of the one would seem to bo im
possible without relief front the burden of
the other Th? general prosperity of the
country will continue to be delayed until
the combined load is lightened on the shoul
ders of the public.
A Tax on I'M unit inn
SKNATOR I'MIKKWOOI) scored a strong
point inst the ponding tariff hill
when he charged its f ranters with'putting
a penalty on education. Ho mentioned sev
eral features of file bill that will certainly
penalize the* public in its effort "to secure
knowledge, education and the advantages
that prow of educational development."
Aside from the general scheme of robbery
by which the people must pay heavy tribute
on every article of material consumption,
thereby limiting their ability to contribute
to the upbuilding of a better educational
system, the duties on hooks of foreign au
thorship and on various types of scientific
;:pparatus used almost exclusively by col
leges and technical schools have been raised
to almost prohibitive levels. This consti
tutes a direct tax on education .and on edu
cational institutions. There certainly can
be found no excuse for a duty on books
(^f foreign authorship to protect a domestic
industry. An American chemist who wishes
to k<-ep in touch with chemical develop
ments cannot very well . online his reading
to publications of American authorship. He
must go directly to the foreign producer in
order to increase his stock of knowledge
<>j; that subject, and in so doing the gov -
eminent proposes that he pay one-fourth
more than he would pay were such publi
cations not subjected to a customs tax.
Moreover. In the case of laboratory and
other scientific apparatus the penalty im
posed on educational research is equally re
pugnant. Where American producers tlnd
it advantageous to engage in the produc
tion of this type of material they usually
produce it under favorable conditions and
at costs that enable them to sell it through
out the world. "There i< no good reason,"
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "why for
eign producers should not enjoy the same
advantage and potential American pur
chasers the lower prices that ylacing it on
the free li<t would entail. Protecting it
will never develop a significant domestic in
dustry or create much of a home market for
any other American commodities. The reve
nue to he derived from such importations
must he negligible."
The truth of the matter is. the hill as a
whole reflects protectionism run mad. Its
frarners gave no thougt to the question
of the revenue that would be turned into
'he Treasury, but their whole purpose was
to establish a monopoly domestic market
for the favored interests who are exacting
their pound of flesh for financing the lie- ?
publican party s return to power two years
!.go. To put through the schedules these
interests demanded, a pretense of fairness
3>ad to he made of extending protection all
along the lino.

The .Sun. with ail of ft neighborly un
derstanding and appreciation, could hardly
have foroseon how conclusively thiB proof
would ho presented by the Virginia Histor
ical 1'ageant on the iirst day of this thrill
ing week. N'ot ono of the oagorly pressing
throng that followed yesterday's stirring
events in Richmond c'ould have retired to
rest without a profound sense of the fact
that Virginia "is still going strong," with
out inclining to the view that Virginia is
going stronger than ever bet'ure.
And this conviction took hold despite the
misfortune that made it necessary to carry
over the lirst night's program to the second.
Even without the event that would have
crowned the day with glory. Pageant Week
came in so resplendent, so compelling in its
sweep and historical appeal, that its spell
at once was laid upon the city and State.
Thousands of Virginians, assembled from
every part of the land, thrilled to the in
spiring touch of this proud event. Their
minds, conscious from infancy ot Vir
ginia's radiant background, were quickened
10 a fuller realization of the glories clus
tured about the name of Virginia through
out the pages of American history. Vir
ginia has, indeed, been an "unforgettable
leader." and an unforgettable dramatiza
tion of that leadership is being enacted in
the State's historic capital this week.
A Great Dread Lifted
THE mighty "Habe" Ruth returned to tho
game Saturday. He came back with
out a tonsil to his name, with a near back
ground of vexation and vicissitude, and
with a dangerous pretender to his throne
holding the favor of an increasing multi
tude. His re-emergence was the signal for
an outburst of acclaim, but also the occasion
for poorly veiled speculation as to whether
he was the fcame Uambino whose wont it
had been to place his principal hits some
where beyond the three-mile limit. His im
personation of the celebrated "Babe" was
not convincing; five times at hat without a
puny single brought no reassurance to a
multitude of nervous worshipers. Sunday
came with another opportunity. Rut one
measly two-bagger out of five chances was
the net result, and apprehension became
more acute. What did tonsils have to do
with hatting, anyhow? Was it possible for
a stolid, milk-fed colossus, like Ruth, to
worry out his batting eye?
Comes Monday's game, with tension tight
ening. a generation of doubters more doubt
ful than ever. Then, with the suddenness
of a lightning flash, a clearing and puri
fication of the atmosphere, the lifting of an
oppressive dread, the upspringing of fallen
hopes! Far out near the horizon a
screeching baseball was coursing in its lone
ly orbit, and the terrible "Habe" Ruth
jogged contentedly along the baselines. One
of Mr. Vangilder's choicest loafing curves
had been galvanized into a flashing meteor.
The home-run king remounted his throne,
and a dark dread went out of the hearts
of his subjects.
