FlttK.VUSIIIP AM) VOTING.
Has friendship any real place 'n

e pledges given months ago to vote

de?ld n:r 11= eereonnel on the basis
? fitcienoy ?
Certainly the unselfish friendship of
ie man to another In whom he llnds
jnpathy, fellow-feeling, similar tastes
<! idea Is Is one of the loftiest of
unan ties The same resonance of
re that knits men together and helps
ch 10 lighten the cares and loneliness
at burden him, lias in It something
fine. It would bo a sad day for tiny
man society In which this feellns
ui sacrificed to ignoble cnd?. In VI r
nla perhaps inoro than almost any
lrre else In the worll is friend
tip a guiding sentiment, full of power

bid worthiest emotions, No one would
Iflhlnk of making light of such ties.
Bui Is that tile hlgJi type of friend
Ship thai asks ii vole just because the
candidate and the voter happen to be
congenial Intimates? We think riot.
Friendship Is a personal and Individual
relationship. It cannot Justly extend
the field Of social acts. A friend
:an righteously rive to another what
sr he deems fitting of money, place.
?>r companionship of his own. Hut can
help to give him a place of power
ind prestige of which the price will
fiave to be rai '. by the entire commu
itty? Friendship on the high plane
Joes not lower itself to help another
political oHl.-,, when the aspirant

?reise of the .-.tTlce The true affec
n of friends is based on worth, i^ne
fman does hot? recommend for a }.",n<>o
>sltion a man who he knows has
>vcr made more than $1,000 by his
vn tnlents. If he does, he Is making
id whole people ipay ills debt of
landshlp.
If a voter casts his ballot for a
an he knows Is not fitted for Hie
iAce. he debases what he chooses to
gnlfy by the line name of friendship,
hr votes for n man because he ex
eots some return of one kind or an
hcr. then the name of friendship Is
rongly Used for such a transaction.
Moreover, If a man votes for his friend
riowlng that he himself will be ln
ired by the inefllclcncy of this man In
Hr,-, he does t!,., snme thing as If
i u.w.- Liu; friend something undc
irved from his own wealth. Any
tfhl feeling candidate vrtiuld jft ask
ich favors of friendship;
Friendship Is n fine thing. B:t there

WHAT ABOUT "THE (Jmi.f"
In a good many Virginia households
a raramonnt question right now Is,
"What shall wo do with 'the boy* next
yenrT" The boy. In this case. Is the
youth of elp-Meen who hae flnlsfliefl the
high school. Parents are puzzling
over what school will give him the
best education nnd how the ends may j
be made to moot for preparing hfiri 1
for the future. We worider If any of i
them ever ask themselves tho equally j
pertinent nnd equally just Question, I

ought to have every opportunity for

sind honornl.io sorvices In their own j
spheres doos not yet seem to be a
vital part of our social creed. In ,
Itlchmondi for example, the High i
School graduates, perhaps three times
as many' girls .as boys, yet how many i
Of this number ever pursue their cdu- |
cation further than a trifle of music j
or dilettante art'.' What opening have
t-hese potential wives and mothers for
their energies and aspirations? They
drift along as dependents or In the ,
light pleasure of social life, until they
are married. Kven those who have '
to support themselves arc force.', into '
poorly paid and monotonous employ- I
tnents, where their real talents urei
he'ver utilized Some higher training I
would be an economic relief to tills ]
class of women, if to no other.
Education for women no longer im?
plies a spectacled, cnpi. unfemlnlne 1
h?1ng. unsexed, and spoiled for the
great duties of life. It means poise,
health, culture, the possibility of true
companionship tvlth educated h'.ift
bandr. nnd n happy realization of nil
latent powers. Virginia has within
its borders fine Institutions for edu?
cating women. But they are ton
costly for grent numbers who desire
?.uch advantages The postponement
of the establishment of o woman's col?
lege may have been a wise move on
the part of the last Legislature, but
It leaves still unsettled the problem

sir? Tl.. Ohio amendment cuts riff red
lap. procedure and permits municipal,
ttlei to change liieli form -,f govern?
ment at any i.me. Instead of having
to wait to go their weary way
through the legislative mill.
The system under the proposed
amendment In Ohio is that If ten por
cent of the voters of any municipality
desire to adopt a new form of gov?
ernment?the commission form. for
example?they may petition the city
council, which must then submit to
the elootorato ot a special or general
election the question "shall a commis?
sion be chosen tu frame a charter?"
Or, without euch a petition, the ooun
oll, by a two-thirds vote, might sub?
mit the lssuo to tho people. In any
case, on the some ballot with the
question provision Is mude for choos?
ing uflecn electors who. If the project
pusses, bocomo the charter-framing
body. Th nomination of the fifteen
would be subject to the general elec?
tion laws. The charter fr.unoi by the
llftoon would bo submitted for u ma?
jority Indorsement or rejection. There
Is unother mode. In that the legisla?
ture may draft a form of government
which the cities may adopt at thoir
discretion. Cities satlslled with thoir
old form e;f covornmont would not be
disturbed, and yet their content with
the ancient form would not prevent
other cities from adopting the mod?
ern, a stato of nffnlrs Impossible under
the present system.
The State would still have certain
powers over municipalities, as In
supervision of hnanoes and In police
powers So much of the general laws
ns would b? essential to safety, unity.!
and order of the cities would be re- j
served to the State.
Tho ttmo has come when Virginia
should also have municipal home rulo.
Our cities should no longer have to
wait upon the pleasure ot the General
Assembly. but should possess the
widest salutary latitude In ordering
their own affairs and tho utmost flex?
ibility In altering their form of gov?
ernment. If the new form of govern?
ment for Richmond had been drafted
a year later than It was. It could not
have gone Into effect until 1P15 bo
cause of Ha having to wait to secure
legislative approval. Within their
peculiar spheres, our municipalities
should movo unfettered by unneces?
sary restrictions. Self-government is
just ns vital to the growth of the city
as it Is to the life of the State.
NEXT SUMM Hit's MUSIC*
Summer heat and summer tedium ;
have both been mado more endurable j
for thousands of Richmond peoplo by j
the senson of band concerts In the |
parks. The crowds that attended '
every one of those outdoor mustcalos, j
and tho enthusiastic appreciation of i
the director's endeavor to give thorn |
well-balanced programs that Included ;
both popular and scml-clnssla light I
music, of which there Is such an \
abundance, miist show that the small 1
sum of money spent for this pleasure i
paid many hundred per cent dividends, i
Theso concerts are almost the only j
direct effort the city makes toward ,
amusing and educating her people at i
the same tlmo. Vet, tho Council show- |
cd such a smaJl knowledge of what tho
taxpayer Is willing h's money should ,
Hhlft spent for that the appropriation was |
almost lost. we believe it was cut ;
from $.',000 to $0,000.
Now, therefore, while tho memory
H?f the happiness enjoyed on hot nights !
by tired nnd worn-out working men,
by children, and by music lovors of i
all kinds, Ftill remains fresh <n mind. I
let tho mombofs of the Incoming Coun- 1
cil and the candidates tor the Adminls- j
native Hoard take counsel with them
Si Ivos how t.oxt rummer's music may
be made more plentiful and more beau?
tiful. The budget should contain a
specific fund for this purpose. Clans
for the series and for the programs
should be carefully made. Ii should be
ns much public business to give pleas?
ure to the people as to give them
water and gas. Is life nothing but
mechanics? leot us count from how on
upon a series of concerts, running
from June to September. Let provision
be made for outside attraction:) if
necessary. I.. : the musical sock-lies
lake a hnnd In working up programs
and supplying sold features. Music for
.the people i worthy or all support.
' To point the moral, here Is a pro?
