The second special venire in the

there must be another special venire

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

In reply to Il suggestion in The
Tlmes-Dispatch. that a legal limit be
put upon the amount of money which
candidates before a primary election
may spend, the Norfolk vlrginlan-Pilot
says:
1T is perfectly competent for the
Legislature to say what shall and shall
not be Legitimate objects of expenditure
by candidates. The English statute
governing parliamentary elections is
q model in that respect, and we believe
the intent of the Virginia statute which
applies to both regular and primary
elections, is to forbid any use Of money
which would improperly influence the
r,Ind OF the voters, whether in the
shape of direct or indirect inducement
to support a certain candidate. But we
doubt very much whether an enact
ment limiting the expenditure of n
candidate for purposes not specified
as illegal would be constitutional; and
If void, would be impossible of enforce
ment."
The pure elections law provides in
exact terms that no candidate for
office in a regular or primary election
shall eXpend, pay. promise, loan or
become .peeuniarily liable in any way for
any money or other valuable thing to
influence voters in his behalf or per
NIT the same 10 be so used, with his
knowledge. and consent by his friends
or adherents: provided, however that
no expenditure made by any candidate
or his adherents and friends for the
purpose of printing or advertising in
some newspapers at reasonable price
shall be deemed Illegal"
1t is very clear from this that the
law does limit the expenditure OF
.candidates-not in amount, to be sure.
but TO objects. They must expend no
money in conducting their campaigns
except for printing. advertising and
the hire of halls for public speaking
at reasonable price. II this be con-
stitutional we cannot sec why 1t would
be unconstitutional for the act to 20
step further and limit the amount
OF money to be expended by any can
didate for the objects above named.
This is merely the view of lavman
and is sqbjsct to review by the lawyers,
But be-, that asst may, there is way
to limit the expenditure by candidates
IN primary election. and it lies in the
party organization. The Democratic
party of Virginia has full authority
to make for itself a primary election
plan and prescribe the terms upon
which the candidates may enter. II
would be perfectly competent, there
fore, for the party to make a regulation
limiting the expenditure of candidates
and no candidate would dare disregard
it.
1t would be party policy and publ,
policy to make our primary elections
as free as possible, so that the poor
man may be on equal footing with til,
rich man.

! Salvation! 1t is a great word, not
always understood often narrowed
down and sometimes it's worry essence
overlooked. But it is Of vital concern
TO every one OF us. We all fell in
Adam; we have all sinned personally
VIC shall all perish unless we find sal

Salvation brings us forgiveness for
all the past. But it means more than
that, for It also includes deliverance
from the power of sin. Naturally we
are all fond Of evil and run after /,

he turns his back on it, puts the

SUNDAY BASEBALL.

The Timcs-pispatch is neither puri-
tanical nor prudish. but it is opposed
to professional" baseball on Sunday,
and we urge upon the civil authorities
everywhere In Virginia to prohibit It.
Experience is the best teacher, and
servancc is in the interest of good
health, good morals and the public
welfare. In Virginia 1t lis an honored
tradition. and we dare not throw it
day.
AS has been repeatedly pointed out
in these columns, the Sunday law is
rot religious observance. 1t Is not
an enactment of the Fourth Command
mont The law does not enjoin any
man to remember the Sabbath day to
keep 1t holy" Nor does the law pro-
hibit innocent amusement and recrea-
ton on Sunday. At tho same time it
does not allow any work to be carried
On except works of necessity or Of
charity, and in spirit at least, It pro-
hibits Gil persons from doing anything
that may disturb the peace and quiet
| of those who desire to rest. Especially
does 1t prohibit any conduct that may
disturb religious worship.
Let us stand by our traditions. Let
US protect our rest day from innova-
items. In SO doing we shall continue
to walk in our integrity; we shall pre-
serve our character as people, and
we shall promote good government and

A WELCOME ALLY.

WELCOME ALLY.
For several years this newspaper
has urged upon the Legislature the
doslrability of establishing a State
bonrd OF charities. On ono occasion
when distinguished citizen of another
state was invited to address com
mitteo of the Legislature on the SUD-
| ject we had hope that tho movement;
would succeed; but no action was
taken. Recently we again introduced
the subject, and Hon. X. y, Byrd be-
came it's champion The Norfolk Land
mark at first expressed doubt as to
the need of such n board, but we are
Ipleased to note. from q recent article
in It's columns that 1t is converted,
and very bright convert 1t is In
fact, the Landmark Is always bright.
after reading the report of the jan
visitation committee OF the Underwater
Ministerial Union. adopted by the union
last Monday. ut meeting in the First
Presbyterian Church of Norfolk" says
our contemporary, tile Landmark is
prepared to give hearty assent to the
movement for the establishment OF n
state board of charities in Virginia
The city jails and almshouscs are
ever undcr the wntchful eye of the
public and the reporters. and it is hard
for abuses to go on without prompt
detection. But i'll spite of all, there
is rarely an investigation without some
unpleasant revelation. and If this is
the case i'll the cities, what may we
.eNpect of the obscure sections of the
State. where it is nobody's business to
inspect?
We do not mean to reflect on the
county officials. but a citizen of one
of the most enlightened towns of the
Valley informed us some time ago that
he had recently had occasion to visit
the Jail, and found condition too
horrible and disgusting to describe He
went forthwith to the judge and had
the situation improved; but this was
by accident. There ought to be regu-
lar inspection by board of compe-
tent men of all the prisons, aims
houses and eleemosynary institutions
of the State. We ought to know that
there are no abuses. The expense of
it. as we have explained, would be
trining. and the benefit would be great
The members of the board would have
no power to do more than inspect and
make recommendations. But in most
cases that would be enough to bring
about needful reforms without report
the trouble is due to carelessness, ig-
norance or Indifference, and a word
! in season from the board would be suf-
ficient. If not. other steps could be
taken
The Landmark says, in concluding
its article, that "the creation of n
state board of charities would be an
entering wedge towards the desidera-
tum of getting able-bodied jailbirds
ia- work, tuberculous prisoners in the
loren air and insane prisoners in State
asylums."
No doubt of 1T; If not. 1t would be
guilty of gross neglect OF duty. The
Landmark also approves the recon-
mendation of the ministerial union that
the fee system as it applies to jails,
tc abolished. We have so often urged
this reform that it is not necessary
TO say we heartily concur. The entire
/ fee system should be abolished. But

these children suffer simply because
there are other children who ought to
attend and do not aud are not COM
polled to do so, And In many cases
their parents will not allow them to
attend when tho children themselves
want to-
That is n phase OF the subject to
which Major pooley. ct Richmond has
called attention. Major pooiey Ia a
large taxpayer but has no children
to send to school However. tho State
compcls him TO contribute towards tho
support OF the schools because public
education IS public eeneat. Major
Dooley and all other good citizens
take that view. but they insist that
1t is the states duty to give them
the greatest possible benefit. which is
to be gained by the largest possible
attendance. They contend that when
the State co1npels them to par taxes to
sustain the schools 1t assumes moral
obligation to compel the children to
attend. There is much reason IN this.
The Albemarlc cases are exception
ally strong arguments In favor of
compulsory attendance. 1t is hard. in
decd, that all the children of COM
munity should be denied school privi-
leges because some indifferent parents
Will not send their children to school.
And the reply of the opponents is:
IF you compel the whites to attend.
You must compel the niggers to at
tend also. and do you want to make
all the niggers go to school?"
