The Republican party is tloundering
hopelessly in Il sea of trouble that
threatens to beat it to fragments. A
little while ago the prospect Of a dimu-
milton of the war tax was allurlngly
held out by the administration. That
prospect has faded away like morn
ing-glory under the chilling nip Of
some delayed frost, forgotten in tho
calculations of the weather bureau. 1t
is now admitted that war taxes must
be elevated and new sources Of revenue
discovered or invented. In fact, the
internal revenue bureau has already
annouced it's determination to make
certain lines of business contribute
moro largely to tho national larder.
Thus it is that the whole ugly story
and calamitous consequences OF the
Philippine war is being told and di-
vulged. The country does not object
to a burden, however heavy. that in
wolves the defence Of national honor

The protest of the Maryland Rcpub-

of the administration to relegatc Ad-
miral Schley to insignificant stations
is straw as big as saw-log that in
dicates the direction of the current OF

knows well that the hero of Santiago
is too good sailort to complain OF any

upon his modesty and accomplishing
submission to higher authority, it has
assumed very contemplate and
Spicayunish attitude toward q man

SOMETHING WORTH PAYING FOR.

The I.ynchburg Advance says IL "ouio
be glad to see q Board Of Pardons crealeo
in Virginia. "Men Of standing ana OIL
Judgment should be selected for this I'm
porfant duty" and the Advance holds
that "they should be paid a reasonable
compensation for their services" 1T adds
ave doubt not that the Governor would
gladly welcome the assistance OF SUCH a
board in the exercise Of a function which
consumes so much Of his time and throws
so heavy a responsibility on his shout
ders."
! The view OF the Advance Is the correct
one. we think Whoever undertakes to
do this work will find that it requires
much time, patient attention TO details
ana varied knowledge OF human nature.
Moreover. If the members Of the board
be conscientious and sensitive men. they
will learn that the discharge OF their
duties will carry with it much worry ana
care. For these reasons we think the
members Of the board ought to be paid
for their services.
II is not the custom Of Virginia 10 be-
stow lavish pay upon its servants, and
IL need not be feared that I'm this instance
the Legislature will err upon the side OF
extravaganza. From the judges of the
Supreme Court of Appeals down. our
state officials. with few exceptions, are
poorly paid set Of men. If there were
not so many officials in our state, county
and city governments, we might be able
10 pay better salaries. SO, in the matter
of the Board OF Pardons-if such a board
be created-we trust Virginia Will follow
the example Of West Virginia rather than
that Of Tennessee when IT comes to COM
pensating the members Nor should the
duties in question be devolyed upon any
other board whatsoever.
It has been tco much the practice here
IN Virginia TO add to the duties Of State
officers by making them members Of vari-
Gus boards That is a poor way TO econo-
mize. When board Of pardons is es-
tablished. it ought 10 be composed Of per-
sons chosen for their special fitness for
the work i'm question. IT is easy enough,
for instance, to ascertain the prison rec
ord of any man applying for executive
clemency, but those who have to pass
upon applications where much can and
will be said on each side of the question,
have a drcadfully difficult Job to do.
Many who are eminently qualified for
business or professional life would be at
sea in deciding upon applications for
pardons or combinations.
Our Legislature can do nothing and
ought to do nothing-to curtail the poNcr
of the Governor with respect 10 the ca
crcise of executive clemcncy; hut Il it
chooses to do so it can give him an adj
vlsory board. which may take off his
shoulders a vast deal OF routine work and
not a little responsibility.
