JOntcretl at tho Newport News, Vn., postolflco an tvCond-clnaa matter. SUNiDAY, MARCH S, 1908, THIS MOVEMENT SHOULD BE PUSHED. Tlie proposition of certain officers of (he Chamber of Commerce to have that I'.xly take up the question of com pHHng certain lot holders lit Wash? ington avenue to have paved sidewalks in front of tholr property, should have ? aucceasful culmination. It In for just such things that an organization of the calibre of the Chamber of Commerce can wlold a great good for the city, and it Is In such eases lhat they can prove their worth. There are many questions of public Interest which can, bo brought to u "focus by nn Organization composed of public spirited men, while their efforts as individuals would amount to nothing. It the Chamber of Commerce takes Up the question of having better side? walks. In "Washington avenue in nn earnest nnd aggressive manner, there Id ho doubt but that a great good for the city will bo accomplished. That i lie spaces in the avenue which have no sidewalks, except mother Earth, should he Improved nobody will dis? pute. There scents to be a question of whether tho owners can legally be forced to lay sidewalks, but If this Is true, certainly there must bo method!! by which the present law, if 11 Is defective, can be made ho as to allow the proper authorities ._f.o take tho necessary action to bring about the desired result. The condition of some of the spac? es in Washington avenue as they ex? ist at the present time is anything ^hut a credit to the city nnd tho prop 'lerty owner; in fact, they are a dis? grace to a city of tho proportions of ' Newport News. The impression made upon a stranger who in compelled to walk' over them must be most un fftvotftble and Is one or tho things of ; Which he will have a most vivid re collection relative to the city. The plr-a that a lot holder cannot afford to lay sidewalks can hardly be en? ter; ii In this case, a3 It Is perfectly reasonable to believe that any per? son who can afford to own Washing? ton avonuo property, can afford to go to the expense of placing sidewalks in front of that proiierty. ft is lo be hoped that the Cham !"r of Commerco will take up thh ? pe stion nnd fight it out lo the end, and that its efforts to improve the main business thoroughfare of New? port News will receive the hearty | Hupport of the people ?nt large.' If Is a movement that deserves any sup . port that may be given to It. WE CAN ALL DOCTOR FOR THIS AILMENT. 'With n corps of distinguished phy? sicians, the Orthopaedic hospital In 'latjelphla is maintaining an unique out:;! clinic," which would he con. en- I to nmnck of Christian Science "pyschlc healing." were not the ..:<? of Dr, S. Weir Mitchell at the d of the attending medical staff.1 ,w conditions- create new needs ami -,v remedies. This free "menial nlc" aims to cure the mental tle -sioii?otherwise called, iu old -htsr.ed speech, "the blues"?which ?umoro?s instances are a by pro-j cl of our overstrained American The ??f/?gglc or life seems to .veHfltttefj/with greater neriousae?,'' nnd eutered upon wUk inteiiEer en? ergy, In our own land Hum else where, and the consequence Is an sp? inning number of nervous break? downs. One or the attending physicians at this clinic la reported to have said! thai Ike cominonest complaint treat I ed. when stripped or Its scientific ver-1 bage, Is nothing more or less than im-J warrantable worry. "Kindness and1 sympathy." runs the report, "are the ( principal remedies used." nnd the ob-j Vloua suggestion Is that In thlB com? monest of diseases, every man can ] safely be his nelghl'Jr's physician. There Is staut danger of giving thoj patient an overdose of either kindness] or sympathy. 'Everybody can help j everybody else on toward a cheerful, cheerier, saner, healthier !lf<\ It Is] to bo remembered that every place] where pooplo resort, be It a parlor, shop school or store, may be made an] nmntour clinic In this sort of heal? ing. A maddened row in enmdon, N.

The new arbitration trenty with] France has been ratified by the Sen-a 1 lite, and President Roosevelt has been forced to backdown from hU I position that the President should be I given the power to submit questions] to arbitration on his own Initiative] and without the consent of the Senat? as provided In the constitution, The tanners of Illinois will doubt I loss feel highly llntlered by the eoni-i ; parlson mode by a leading New York hanker while making a defense of tho j hononty or the hunkers or thnt city. He says that they are as honest as ^tlie average farmer of Illinois.

Was It their object to glvo the proprietor something to show that they could not collect again If they ever made n nqcoml vls'lt ? I Wonder how long it took the par ' sgraphor on the Florida Tlmes-Unlou j.to figure this out: "If the woman j exclaims Ree! when the mnn tells or his love, Is that giving him the mil? lion? Anyway, putting the O to love I spells glove." j Tin- Taft boomers have hlin si. , roiuly nominated on the first ballot, I tmt as only n few delegates have so I far been elected, they may be mis j taken, but why discourugo the White I House figuring based on beautiful I hope, j Another scandal in the government printing office and Charge.? made that Congress Is being influenced by I lobbyists, and yet many people will support tho Republican party instead of punishing It. Several boys stole an automobile In Cleveland and the owner overtook them on foot and got his machine back. Seems to us* that n marhlno that cannot bent a man on foot Is 'oot worth running after.

There appears to be no place where death may not call nnd catch the children from amid everyday rcenes with whirlwind suddenness and unpltyllig cruelty. Somewhere among parents thorn should be a man who can devise -i precaution which, taken In the ease of all gatherings or little people, can be counted on to save tholr lives. It It be simply that or having more doors lo schools and opera houses, of hnvlng them always unlocked whon l he children are In the buildings, or if It bo rules which the older persons In charge must obey Impllelty, or if It be more stanchly built edifices or I'jats or more plentiful equipment ? let It be taken up by governing bodies nnd Insisted on relentlessly.
