Comm,ssary Frauds at San Francisco.

General Shafter and Colonel Maus,
inspector-general of the department of
the California, and the federal grand
jury are investigating the many re-
ports of fraud committed in the CON-
missary branch of the army service in
San Francisco. That the reports seem
to be based on something more sub
stantial than idle rumor is evidenced
by the disclosures following the arrest
of Louis Abram & Son, dealers in Sec
ond-hand clothing. The extent of the
alleged frauds has not been determ-
ined and there is diversity of opinion
on the subject. Several stores have
been advertising government goods
for sale.

Virginia constitutional Convention VIII
nIsfranchise Negroes.

The Virginia constitutional conven.
tion met Wednesday. John Goode was
made president, and in his speech of
acceptance, he took strong ground in
favor of restricting negro suffrage.
1t was decided finally that no oath
should be taken. Senator Daniel was
one of the leaders of the opposition to
swearing in the members. The de-
cision of the body was influenced by
the fact that to take the oath of office
might trammel it in dealing with the
suffrage issues. Some of the members
declared that they would suffer expul-
sion before they would be sworn in.

The county commissioners of
Ford county made the Dodge
City Democrat the official paper
at one-half legal rates. There is
no good reason for any county
board letting the work, especial
ly to their own party paper, at a
cent less than legal rates. The
law says what the printers fees
shall be, the same as the fees of
other county officials are fixed.
You never heard of any other
county official being asked to
cut his fees in two, did you!
Then, why should the printer,
who generally has to exc out a
half-starved existence. We are
in favor of a law providing for
the election of an officer to be
known as county printer for a
term of two years with a fixed
salary. There is such a law for
counties having over $4,000 pop.
ulation. 1t should apply to every
county in the state. Of course,
THE News has no particular
kick coming, as our County Board
treated this paper very nicely by
awarding it the county printing
at full legal rates.

A good many parents keep an
eagle eye cooked on their boys,
while at the same time they focus
sleepy, owlish eye on their
daughters, and flatter themselves
on the immensely of their paren-
tial wisdom. They deceive them
selves and often criminate their
children. It is we'll enough to
keep constant watch over the
boys and train them with rigid
care. Certainly it would be bet
ter if boy didn't sow any wild
oats. Surprising he does, what
is the result? Why, he can Gre
form" and give his attention to a
different branch of agriculture,
and the dear people, that is, the
real good, awfully good ones, will
embrace him and buy his grain
and will pay him little higher
price for it than they would a
farmer who never engaged in the
wild oats culture. If this is not
true, why is it that such reform
ers as Sam Jones and Sam Small
take so much pride in parading
their early lives before the peo-
pie and work upon their sympa-
thies by so doing? How is it
with the girl who starts wrong
and STUN bles? Is there any par
don in store for her? No, she is
practically lost. No hand is out
stretched to pilot her back to the
fold of responsibility. She is
condemned by all classes and all
kinds of people alike. The con-
demnation is just. While it is
severe for the individual, it holds
the home more sacred, it elevates
and purefies matrimony and
gives virtue it's dues. Forgive
such sin, and the result would be
terrible, fearful. There would
be nothing left worthy of admir-
alton in woman. The verdict is
final. An appeal is never heard
