In n circular sent out by the Rcpubli-
can Committee this astounding charge
is made: "rhc Democrats have promised
an honest administration and an honest
expenditure of the peoples money, and
vet We find extravaganza or graft In

ment. During the past twenty years Of
Democratic administration III Virginia,
the officers OF government have collected
and disbursed from Richmond about
$50, 900 900 of tho peoples money, yet in
all that time there was but one case
of delinquency in the Office of the auditor
of public accounts. the dcfacation
amounting to s379l4.13, and as soon as
it was discovered the defaulter was ar
rested, tried, convicted and sentenced
TO term in the penitcntiary. AS for
graft, the only thing approaching it vas
the case of a clerk in the Department
OF Education, who. had been receiving
commissions on school register hut
as soon as the discovery was made the
clerk was promptly dismissed from the

Inference is that in fhese States books
are furnished the pupil at the cost of the
state government. The fact is that only
one State in the list, to wit: the State
Of Maryland. pursues that course. In
other states free books are furnished by
the school districts, ench district paying
the cost Of the books to Its own pupils
The Democratic party Of Virginia does
not object to such an arrangement In this
state and under the present law any school
district may by local taxation raise the
money and purchase It's own books and
give them to the pupils free of charge.
But the Democratic party is opposed to
providing for free books out Of the
general school fund. It Is the policy OF
the Democratic party, and 1t is wise
policy. that the money appropriated by
tho state for school purposes shall go
exclusively to teachers,. except so much
of It as may be necessary to defray the
expenses of administration. The State
does not undertake to build school houses
and equip therl,3to supply desks or fuel.
or anything necessary to the operation
Of the schools. Each city and county, is.
required to pay these expenses Of opera
ton. and II any city or county or district
desires to add free books, 1t has full
authority of law to do so. In this way
there is cooperation between the general
government and the local government.
and 1t may be remarked Just here that no
one thing has done quite SO much to
stimulate interest in the public schools
as local taxation. Tho State supplies the
teacher and each and every community
nroyidcs the school houses tho desks, the
stoves, tho water pals, and everything
else necessary to carry on the school.
There is no more reason for the State to
supply free books for tho varlous schools
than to supply desks and other equip
ment.
No state, save Maryland;t has under;
taken to pay for books out Of the general
school fund, and We learn that in Mary
land the system has not proven success
full 1t is a shame that the Republicans
should deliberately mislead the voters on
this point. The Virginia Democracy is
not opposed to free books, but 1t believes
that each community should pay forsit
own books.

New Questions
For Candidates

Washington, June 15.-Discovery
has been made Of the sale Of some Of
the papers In the recent examination
Of thirty civilian candidates for com.
missions as second lieutenants in the
United States marine corps.
The examination was held last week
before q board consisting OF Majors
Ell S. Cole, John A. Lejeune and Al.
bert s. McLemore, with Douglas G..
McDougal as recorder. The questions
we're printed in the government print
Ing office because Of the great extent
Of subjects covered. When tho ex.
animation was nearly completed Major
Cole received an anonymous communi-
cation enclosing a list Of questions on
the subject Of geography upon which
the candidates were to have been ex.
amined the following day. The paper
was not q verbatim copy, but 1t cover
ed all the points concerning which the
candidates were to be questioned.
The letter also stated that certain
OF the candidates had been supplied
with certain Of the questions, gram.
mar, arithmetic and geometry, in
which they had previously been ex-
amined and in which they had made
exceptionally high marks. On other
subjects their marks were below the
sixty-five per cent required for quail
fication. They would not, therefore.
have qualified for their commissions,
even with the aid OF the purchased
questions.
Members OF the board at once pre-
pared a new set Of geography ques.
lions, which were submitted to the
candidates the following day. Orders
were then given for Reorganization of
all the candidates. Three OF the ram
didates were suspected Of having had
the questions before the examination.
In the second examination they fell
below upon the subjects In which they
had passed high in the first test.
They failed to qualify for commissions.
A rigid investigation to ascertain
the leak Is under way, but no clew
has yet been found. A certain candi-
date who failed to pass the physical
examination, which precedes the men,
tai examination, Is suspected of hay-
ing purchased the papers and Of hay-
ing sold them to other candidates, but
OF this there Is no proof at hand.
Officers of the marine corps have
heard reports that the unsuccessful
candidate declared that he had paid
500 for the examination papers and
that he offered them for sale with the
statement that It was necessary to get
back what they cost.
For any one to purchase from a
government employee any official doc
ument is an offense punishable by
law. hut thus far no discriminating EVIL
dence has been found against any one.
General Elliott. commander of the
marine corps, considers the affair end.
ed, but hereafter all examination pa.
pers VIII be written out by the board.
