! Women and Pontics. If any man in Richmond believes that women are not interested in politics, let him answer the telephone calls in The Palladium, office on election night and during the next day. Hundreds of women were watching the sensationally close race between Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson. They kept the telephones busy and they wanted detailed information about the electoral standing, indicating that the grasped the point at issue. We cannot recall another election in which women were so anxious for results. Perhaps the growth of the suffrage movement is responsible for the interest women are taking in the conduct of the government. Whatever the cause, the fact stands women are interested in politics.

Back to Work Now that the strife and turmoil of the election isover every one can go about his business serenely and unmindful of whether he is a Democrat or a Republican. Election day marked the end of the campaign and it ought to end street corner arguments and alley fence disputes. None of us can change a vote now, or upset the result, so it is good policy and good form to drop politics for our daily vocations. If you still have a political grouch, take it out on a telegraph post and ; not on your neighbors.

We Don't Blame Him. This happened last Thursday in Chicago. The election had not been decided and 'the applicant for naturalization played it safe. Here's what he vdid: , Ignats Heisler of 241 South Oakley boulevard ! was being examined for naturalization by Judge 'Denis E. Sullivan. "Who is president of the United States, Mr. Heisler?" "Well, by golly, I don't know," answered Mr. Heisler, scratching his head. "Some say Wilson and others Hughes." ! "Witness is excused from answering the question at present," said Judge Sullivan. "There seems to be division of opinion among the best authorities."

Tangible Results at Dayton.

On January 1, 1914, Dayton adopted the com

mission-manager plan of city government. The system provided for a professional, nonpolitical chief executive, called City Manager, to take the

place of the "transient amateur political mayor' The Dayton system in a nutshell is The people elect the council or commission of five members;

the commission hires a City Manager; the City Manager appoints the department heads. When the new system went into" effect, here's what confronted it: - Local politicians in positions where experts were needed. ' - J No budget system.- . A bonded debt of $6,000,000. J A floating debt of unpaid bills and expeditures in excess of income $125,000. Insufficient water supply. Only part of garbage collected. Sewer system at fault. Social service work unsystematic. Here are some of the things that have been accomplished since Amateur Mayors gave way to a City Manager: Financial control perfected so that the Manager knows at the close of each day the exact state of municipal funds. Purchasing agent buys all municipal supplies, which have been standardized. Expert municipal engineer hired. Instead of increasing water rates to pay 'for new equipment, improvements were made and the water works are now paying $50,000 a year profit. The cost of collecting garbage was reduced from $2.49 a ton in 1913 to $1.60 in 1915. The cost of ash and

rubbish removal was reduced from 43.8 cents a cubic yard in 1914 to 38 cents in 1915. In 1913, nine men made 13,662 sanitary inspections and in 1915 four men made 23,000. The Legal Aid Bureau, costing only $625 a year collects thousands of dollars for defrauded poor and has driven the loan shark out of Dayton. In 1914, only 400 vacant lots became gardens, but in 1916 the number had grown to 840. Twenty-four children's playgrounds in 1910 are in strong contrast with fifteen in 1913. , Intoxicated persons who formerly joined the pettjr criminals in the workhouse are now. reformed and set to work in the open. When their terms expire they are provided with jobs.

Richmond might learn much by studying the achievements of Dayton.

"Yes, yea," remarked Whitney, with a nod of Interest "He has told me of it. Very strange, very strange. When he came back he told me that he had it, along with a lot of other important finds. But I bad no idea he set such a value on it or, rather, that any one else might do so. It would have been easy to have safeguarded it here, if we had known," he added, with a wave of his hand in the direction of & huge chrome steel safe of latest design in the outer office. Lockwood, I noted, was listening Intently, quite m contrast with his former cavalier manner of dismissing all consideration of ancient Inca lore a3 academic or unpractical. Did he know something of the dagger? . "I'm very much interested In old Peruvian antiquities myself," remarked Kennedy, a x, few minutes later, "though not, of course, a scholar like our friend Norton." "Indeed?" returned Whitney; and I noticed for the first time that his eyes seemed fairly to glitter with excite

ment. $ They were prominent eyes, a trifle staring, and I could not help studying them. "Then," he exclaimed, rising, "you must know of the ruins of Chan-Chan, of China those wonderful places?" Kennedy nodded. "And of Truxillo and the legend of the great fish and the little fish," he put In. Whitney seemed extraordinarily pleased that any one should be willing to discuss his hobby with him. His eyes by this time were apparently starting from their sockets, and I noticed that the pupils were dilated almost to the size of the Iris. "We must sit down and talk about Peru," he continued, reaching for a large box of cigarettes In the top drawer of his big desk. Lockwood seemed to sense a long discussion of archaeology. He rose and mumbled an excuse about having something to do in the outer office. "Oh, it is a wonderful country, Professor Kennedy," wen on Whitney, throwing himself back in his chair. "I am deeply interested in it its mines, its railroads, as well as it history. Let me show you a map of our interests down there." He rose and passed Into the next room to get the map. The moment his back was turned, Kennedy reached over to a typewriter desk that stood in a corner of the office, left open by the stenographer, who had gone. He took two thin second sheets of paper and a new carbon sheet. A hasty dab or two of the library paste completed his work. Carefully Craig laid the prepared paper on the floor just a few inches from the door into the outer office and scattered a few other sheets about, as though the wind had blown them off the desk. As Whitney returned, a bis: map unrolled in his hands, I saw his foot fall on the double sheet that Craig had laid by the door. Kennedy bnt down and began picking up the papers. "Oh, that's all right," remarked Whitney brusquely. "Never mind that.

Here's where some of our Interests lie, in the north." I don't think I paid much more attention to the map than did Kennedy as we three bent over It His real attention was on the paper which he had placed on the floor, as though fixing in his mind the exact spot on which Whitney had stepped. As Whitney talked rapidly about the country, we lighted the cigarettes. They seemed to be of a special brand. I puffed mine lor a moment There was a peculiar taste about it however, which I did not exactly like. In fact I think that the Latin-American cigaretes do not seem to appeal to most Americans very much, anyhow. " While we talked. I noticed that Kennedy evidently shared my own tastes, for he allowed his cigarette to go out and, after a puff or two, I did the same For the sake of my own comfort, I drew one of my own from my case .as soon as I could do so politely, and laid the stub of the other in an ash-tray on Whitney's desk. "Mr. Lockwood and Senor Mendoza had some joint interests in the country, too, didn't they?" queried Kennedy, his eye still on the pieces of paper near the door. "Yes," returned Whitney. "Lockwood!" "What Is , itr came Lockwood's voice from outside. "Show Professor Kennedy where you and Mendoza have those concessions." The young engineer strode into the room, and I saw a smile of gratification cross Kennedy's face as his foot, also, fell on the paper by the door. . Unlike Whitney, however, Lockwood bent over to gather up the sheets. But before he could actually do so Kennedy reached down and swept them just out of his reach. "Quite breezy," Kennedy covered up his action, turning to restore the paper to the desk. Craig had his back to them, but not to me, and I saw him fumble for an instant with the papers. Quickly he pressed his thumb-nail on one side, as though making a rough "W," while on the other side he made what might be

an "Li. " Then ne snovea tne two sheets and the carbon into his pocket I glanced up hastily. Fortunately, neither Whitney nor Lockwood had noted bis action. For the first time, now, I noticed as I watched him that. Lockwood's eyes too, were a trifle stary. though not so noticeable as Whitney's. "Let. me see," continued Whitney, "your concessions are all about here, in the north. srent they?" . Lockwood drew a pencil from his pocket and made several cross-marks over the names of some towns on the Jarsr map. ...... "Those are the noints that we. had nroposed to work," he said simply, "before this terrible tragedy to Mendoza." "Mining," you understand," explained Whitney. Then, after a pause, he resumed quickly. ."Of course, you know that much has been said about the chances for mining investments and about the opportunities for fortunes for persons in South America. Peru has been the Mecca for fortune

Lockwood said nothing, evidently not caring to waste time or breath on any one who was not a possible investor. But Whitney had the true promoter's Instinct of booming his scheme on the chance that the interest inspired might be carried to some third

party.
