The Inspection System.

We are pleased to hear that a bill Is
shortly to be offered in the General AS
sembly TO create the office OF travelling
auditor for the State. We hope that
the will will be introduced, and we hope
that it will pass. 1t Is a measure In
the right direction, and the pity is that
the bill was not taken up and adopted
when 1t was introduced years ago by
Senator Glass, OF Lynchburg.
Every now and then 1t crops out,
usually by accident, that some State
official has been faithless, to his trust,
and has either stolen outright or mis-
applied public funds. Then there Is q
great cutlery and demand for an in
vestigation. But the remarkable part
Of 1t is that these outcries are not
heard, nor these demands for investi-
cation, until some official has been
caught stealing.
We need in Virginia the proverbial
ounce OF prevention; we need system
which will investigate in advance and
keep public officials up to their duty.
The official who knows that he must
submit his books to inspection every
now and then VIII have a stimulus to
action, which he may go on indefinitely
without such inspection. The official
who is never called TO account Is better
than the average run OF humanity il
he does not fall into loose and careless
habits.
We should have the inspection sys-
tenn in Virginia, because the best man
aged corporations OF the country re-
gard such n system as Indispensable.
We need 1t TO prevent dishonesty and
carelessness. We need it TO insure a
modern and uniform system OF book
Keeping in all parts OF the State.
Only the otherday il was reported
from the county OF Russell that the
am cunts received on the income tax
account We're charged up under the
head OF personal taxes. This, to be
sure, is mere straw, but is significant.
We are satisfied from all that we have
heard that the systems OF book keep
ing In many OF the counties is slipshod
and in great need of improvement. Let
us have the business affairs OF the
State conducted in a business. like
manner. III so, our revenues will be
greater an q there will be fewer occas-

THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

1t Is an evident fact now, that Mr..
Hearst must be reckoned with, as can
didate for the nomination in st. Louis,
in July.
MeL are looking and talking serious
who laughed at the Hearst boom few
months ago, and are realizing that he
must be seriously reckoned with as a
strong candidate for the nomination in
July, before the Democratic Conven-
vention.
1t Is very significant fact that the
men who are now fighting Mr.. Hearst
are either Republicans, or Democrats
who voted for Palmer and Buckner In
1896, and 1900, assisted by the Wall
Street trust magnates. What is want
ed now, by the trust and Presidential
manipulators. is a man, not like Mr..
Hearst or Mr.. Bryan, but a man who
can be controlled by the same crowd
that controlled and managed Mr..
Cleveland
1t is a great compliment to Mr..
Roosevelt, and in his favor, that he is
unpopular with this same crowd.
Now that Mr.. Hanna is dead, and no
Republican OF the same stamp is In
sight, this Wall Street crowd and the
trust propaganda, want to see a Demo
ocrat elected who will be merely an
assistant Republican,
Whether the six and a half million
Democrats, who voted the straight ticket
in 1896 and 1900. will be led and driven
by this wicked combination. remains to
be seen.

When asked was he married there were
visible signs of emotion in his eyes, and
