In an unguarded moment the Virginia
House of Delegates ordered an investigation
OF the case of IA member who had loaned his
annual railroad pass to constituents, and the
indiscreet committee found that the charges
were true, and submitted report of censure.
All this was in the highest degree injud-
cious, for the member at fault, not proposing
to serve AS u scape goat for the legislature,
forthwith retaliated by producing evidence
that it is Il common practice for members to
ride on free passes and lend them to their
friends. The only thing to do In such
case was To refer the report back to the com
mittee and give the scandal chance TO be
forgotten.
