Tho business men of Virginia and the
South are awakening to this educa-1
tlor.ul omission on the part of our col-1
leges and universities. Their uctlvl-j
Ues are hampi.'.d by the Impossibilityj
of bringing Into their employment'
young men who have received special,
training for business careers. The
Situation has also u broader slgnlfl-l
canco and otic in which the State asj
a whole is interested because it in?
volves the proper development of ?ur
resources and direction of our com
m< rclal und industrial undertakings.
There Is urgent need of a special
school of economics and politics which
would offer to the young men of Vir?
ginia und the South, facilities and op?
portunities which could not be sur?
passed elsewhere. Richmond is the
political, the industrial and the com-1
mc rclal capital of tho State. Its gov- '
ernmentnl departments and machinery.'
and its industrial and commercial in?
stitutions afford nn unsurpassed lab?
oratory for the student In economics or
politics. A school of politics and
economics could be ufiiliatcd with the
local Institutions of higher education,'
an opportunity afforded for generali
study along with special training for
business. The cost of equipping such
a school would not be great. Within1
several years It would be more than,
self-supporting. Virginia and the
South should have a school of this l
'Kind and we recommend its establish-j
tnent to the serious consideration of
our business men and legislators.
HI X1CIPAL IM III.(CITY.
The cry of tho Richmond voter
should be for ".'acts." He should have
n keen appetite for Information about
the candidates for the Administrative
Board and what they propose to do to |
help build Greater Richmond. lie !
should bo informed. We believe the j
people of Richmond are waking up to |
a sense of their responsibility In |
choosing for themselves servants who j
nave the qualities tor sane, construe- j
live executives charged with expending J
an enormous sum of tax money.
Thai Other cities realize this need
for an informed electorate to choose i
City managers, could not be better
proved than by the publication of the
municipal newspaper In lios Angeles, j
the Municipal News. It has a motto
that every Richmonder should grave on |
bis memory. This slogan reads: ''City
Business is Your [justness." Tills pub- j
llcation gives, with impartial fullness
and In a way that no private paper can (
CVen attempt, the news of the city Of
Los Angelet'. It is much a necessity
to a good citi7.cn as the trade jo?riidu
of ti'.S private business, or Dun's \V< elt

absolutely nohprirtisnh. Exactly the

co-operative business, nothing- more.

tho "sacrifice" thus prompted will :

the fact that In their desperation they

to the outlook: tho ethical transgres?
sion on the part of the Christian Bui -

whit the appeal to the powers to
Interpose, lest the Turkish Christian
provlnses be deluged In blood and
swept with a besom of flame.
Tho war of Russia upon Turkey fol?
lowing the astrocltles of 1ST5-1S76 was
undertaken. In a measure, at least, to
assure agaltist these over being re?

acceptance of tho autonomy at Al?

stands: bill possibly dividing Mace?
donia between the two already au?
tonomous ttulkan States, we have
named; and keeping tho newly liber

protection of the powers until paci?
fication should have been made com?

to Austria-Hungary would, owing to
territorial jr.xta position, fall the chief
responsibility and advantages of the
work of pacification. What boots it?
No doubt. That she is eminently qtiall

proved In the case of Bosnia and Heze

Stop Playing Polities.
To the Edtor of Tin- Tlmcs-Dlsptch:
Sir,?If the Democratic party is to
be successful In the coming national
election, their representatives had
better change some of their tactic:; at
Washington and show the people of
the country that they are sincerely
laboring for their welfare. "Playing
politics" Is a good ga-tic. and many
clever statesmen, though criticized on
??very hand for the methods many of
them adopt In the, course, of their Offi?
cial actions, they have, nevertheless
j made the best of many trying situa
[ Hons, and accomplished a little some?
thing of benefit to the people and have
[ consequently retained tin- confidence
of their csnstituents and have repeat
I edly been retumotl to Congress in spite
?of all that was .-aid against lllonf. Rill
I like everything else, there Is a limit
to this game, it can be overdone.
The eyes of the people are turned
to Washington and the thinking voters
'are watching "developments" between
fjlie President and Congress trying to,
t< et some evidence of a disposition i
Oh the ;>art of the one or the other to
really accomplish something. S?l:ian- |
:.? : s ahd jealousy seem to prevail, thus
the deadlock remains unbroken and i
law-making at present is at a stand- t
Mill. it the Republican President:
should propose something realty worth
while, and It were accomplished, he
would naturally n> t the credit f-ji It.
and hi:- stock would, therefore, soar |
in the voting markets. This, however,
would !?? distasteful to the Democratic
CpuKresa, On the other hand, if tho
Democratic Congress should get some?
thing tiny think good lor the popple
they would naturally get the credit
for It nnd this wouldn't pleas,- mir Re?
publican President it to- y <i n't soon
get together and earn their money the
people will become sorely disgusted
with the whole bunch.
it Is also rumored in the newspapers
that Congress would hold up many
presiucntlal nominations In tne hope
ol a Democratic victory this fall, which
would, then-foil, make many Well-pay
in . jobs fall to the ^election of the In?
coming President; Tr.is. In my mind,
shows very poor judgment, and If Pres?
ident Tali appoints guod men to ufttce.
they should be ratified at once.
TniH would snow the proper spirit
of true statesmanship, and ottlclai bus?
iness would not be hampered by that
ujubtfulnoss and uncertainty which
always causes a certain amount of un?
rest, it ihi Democrats should be sue- I
cessftil, -Mr. VVtlaon will probably be \
