GOVERNOR MEAD WILL APPLY
THE PRUNING KNIFE TO
STATE INSTITUTIONS
pif'7s to Save $4,000 Year in Help
Employed by the Common
wealth.

Governor Mead announced at Seattle
Monday that he is soon to apply the
pruning knife in an effort to reduce the
expenses of running the several state
institutions. Commencing with April
1 the institutions are to be operated
with greatly reduced force of en-
ployes. After a study of the manner
in which they are being operated at
the present time and a consultation
with the board Of control he announce
ed that it is possible to save $4,000 a
year by reducing the forces at the
two insane asylums, the penitentiary.
soldiers home and school for defective
youth.
Governor Mead also proposes to
make large reductions in the cost Of
public printing by cutting down the
reports of state officers before they
are submitted to the state printer. He
will personally examine the reports
of all the state officers and condense
the reports to the least possible num-
Der of words, without eliminating any
of the essential parts.
The details of the changes i'm the
different state institutions have not
been determined upon, but reports are
being prepared and by the time set
for the reduction the plans will have
been perfected and the heads of the
departments furnished with the lists
of the employees no longer required.

THE IMAGINARY MACHINE.

We regret very much that Clover
hor Montague has seen tit in thecon-
duet of his campaign for the Demo
cratic nomination to the |. ;. Senate
To undertake to influence the minds
of the unthinking and unlettcredw with
an idea that there is great political
machine in Virginia which is under
taking to deprivethem OF thcirrightS.
The Governor knows as we'll as any
one else. who is informed at all. that
no such machine exists, that 1t Is a
creature of his imagination, and ne
knows further that if he himself did
not have political aspirations he
could not detect it. That this call
of alarm on his part will fail in its
purpose. We have no doubt. largely
because the people to whom he ap-
peals have never felt the depressing
hand of machine politics, and they
know that no such creature exists III
Virginia. but We regret thai thls
method of campaigning. this effort
to array one class against another,
Tor personal purposes. has found a
place in Virginia politics. 1t has
been in vogue in other States and
sections for years and has done harm
wherever it has been introduced~ We
hope that it will not long survive in
Virginia. and we do not believe 1t
will. for it is generally the last resort
in a hopeless cause. and the election
on the 22nd of August ought. and
we believe will, register the disap-
prevail of the Virginia people OF such
methods.
