The findings of the committee were
in part as follows:
That as Treasurer of the Board of
Agriculture, the Commissioner did not
obey tnelaw.
The Commissioner took the liberty
OF depositing the funds derived from
the sale of fertilizer tags in banks in
his own name as Commissioner until
such time as pleased him to CONVEX
them ihto the treasury, instead of de-
posting such funds immediately with
the State Treasurer, as directed bv
law.
That the Commissioner did not en-
force the law, but allowed manufact-
urers of fertilizer to go scot free.
That Mr.. Koiner rendered Incorrect
statements to the Auditor in order that
ne might retain certain collections for
USE in the Department. That funds of
the Department were expended without
proper vouchers, and much of it by Mr..
Koiner.
~ N@~@~- o-1AAChSo III the ONCE were
IN many cases Irregular, and, as will be
seen by the report of the expert &C
countants, many Of the payments were
made by warrant drawn in the name of
u W. kioner, unaccompanied by vouch-
ers showing for what purpose the money
was expended This practice cannot be
too highly condemned"
Instead of cOndemning Mr.. Koiner
for what was clearly false accounting.
for mingiing the public with his indi-
vidusl funds, and for the loosest pos
sible conduct of an important depart
ment of the State government, the
Democratic party reelected him Com
missioner of Agriculture, and the Rich
mond News Leader very earnestly help
ed to do it.
Our Richmond contemporary ought to
stop throwing rocks at Frank Cunning
ham, or else should confess its wrong in
supporting KOiner and call upon him to
resign.

NONE TO SPARE FROM TREASURY.
States Cash has Run Down Pretty Low and
The SOlOns Know Il.

Although reporters have thus far
been excluded from all meetings of the
Senate Finance Committee, which &C.
tuslly had to do with the present condi-
ton OF the State treasury, it is an open
secret that the Commonwealth money
has run pretty low, and that there will
be but little to spare for the next year
or so unless the Legislature greatly in
creases the public revenues
This state of affairs has been limited
at time and again within the last four
or I'VE months, and it is perfectly obvi-
Gus to those attending the meetings of
the Finance Committee that report is
not much awry. Little remarks drop
ped here and there by the solons are
full of significance.
But scant information can be CLEAN
cd by the uninitiated from the Auditors
and Treasures reports, as these pub
locations do not always vouchsafe such
explanations as a man unlearned in
statecraft would need to have in form
ing conclusions. While their figures
may show balances at the end of the
fiscal year, they do not show what heavy
expenses may come Immediately there
after.
Yes, it is undoubtedly true that Vir-
ginia's finances will have to be careful
ly husbanded for some time to come.
and the more astute of the Legislators
are perfectly aware of this fact. Rich
mond Journal.
From an obscure corner of the news
columns of the Richmond Journal we
get the above. Here is an admission
that the balances in the State treasury.
az shown by the reports of the Auditor
and Treasurer, are either forced or arti-
fetal. 1t Is also a confession that the
treasury has been mismanaged or looted
by Democratic administration. The
charge made by the Republicans in the
late gubernatorial campaign that the
finances of the State were wantonly
mismanaged were true. Why this par
tisan secret examination into the condi-
ton OF the State treas Try? Is it not
enough to convince all honest citizens
and taxpayers that &C Eruption and in
competence have been III control of Vir
ginia's affairs?

and illustration of dignified and orderly
conduct and strict obedience to the law
and the constituted authorities. F"
We would like TO be shown. On Whist
Information does the News-Leadersay
that West Virginia has acted badly? II
what particular has the course of the
authorities been disgrsceful?
The Richmond News-Leader, in an
atmosphere of spite 20 the new state.
where rumors most blatantly false are
pounced upon 70 .deride and condemn
West Virginia, can by publication like
the above create considerable sentiment
unfair TO West Virginia. Many of it's
readers believe that it reaches such u
conclusion on reliable information. No
newspaper that is honest will do it. 1t
may base such = statement on faulty in
formation, but it is as willing as it IS
honest to make itself right.
There is absolutely no occasion for
the criticism Of the News-Leader. When
the indictment was found Judge Will
liams telegraphed to the prosecuting
attorney to fix day and he would ap-
pear. The News-Leader knows he did
not come. Neither has he come since.
although there have been many oppor-
tunities for him to do so.
Were West Virginia officials to be
inactive when the processes of their
courts were treated with contempt?
Is there man in any State worthy to
hold an office who would allow the laws
of his State and the writs of his courts
to be set at naught,, without an effort?
What remedy had the prosecuting at
torney except the requisition?
Where is the disgraceful course?
What part of the proceedings have
been wrong in any particular?
The News-Leader apparently takes
the ground that because this man is the
Attorney-General elect he should be
granted immunity, for the authorities
of West Virgiaia have done nothing
hastily or Unreasonable.
The latter sentence in the quotation
is printed, hot that we desired to COM
ment on it, but that our readers might
see the hand, hear the voice and feel
the atmosphere of highly cultivated
specimen of the man who is quoted as
having said some two thousand wears
ago, Il thank God that am not as
other men," and it affords some relief
to say ''amenl"

Well, Christmas is at hand again. The
anniversary of the natal day of the Sa-
viour of the world is once more upon US.
Nearly two thousand years ago it was
u7aered in with shouts of approval by
angelic hosts and the proclamation:
Peace on earth, good will toward men. -

for nearly two thousand years have been
Il ing under this wonderful proclama-
t. m and been benefitting by the exalted
teachings of the purest man who ever
lived, the very Son of God, ceased to
engage in strife with each other? Is
the world growing better? These cues
II ms are often propounded from the
pulpit and through the press. And very
O. zen an emphatic yes" is given there
to Really, to us, who for three-score
years have been watching and expert
eucing and studying advancing civiliza-
TN, 1t seems that the world is growing
better There is still strife and conten-
IL n among men, even in the oldest
tristlan lands; there is still DISPOSE
t a on the part of men to profit by the
Z sfortunes of their fellowmen; but the
/ sc principle of the Christian religion.

several weeks Captain hardwood has
had an expert machinist working to per
feet his invention, and now comes the
information that it has actually stood
thorough test, having been operated
for three days, generating lights for the
building in which it is operated, and do

ton has attracted the attention Of men
OF wide information upon scientific sub

A NEEDED RESIGNATION.

frank Cunningham, city collector of

L, st deservedly popular men we have.
\ body here believes that he wonld do
70 ong Intentionally or take for himself
& ollar of city money. Yet he has been
' y imprudent and has violated all the
accepted rules of business Or fdence and
pr'priety. To o5lige his friends he has
taken chances which he had no right to
t'Se, has transgressed the law, and in
Ell ect has violated his cath of office. He
g 'uld resign. If he does not resign. he
sh aid be removed. 1t would be more
to his honor If he would write a frank.
SO are statement acknowledging his
fault and retiring from office.
His continuance in office would be a
had example to other public officials and
TO he hundreds of young men who hold
positions of trust. 1t would be a public
announcement that a man personally
lovable and attractive and blessed with
many friends may take liberties with
money belonging to other people and go
unpunished. Nothing could be more IN
fnEtEuQate or demoralizing than this. 1t
would bean open and public inducement

Richmond News Leader, Dec. Is. 'O9.
We wish very much that this virtuous
streak had hit our Richmond contempo-
rary previous to the late State election.
Perhaps it would not have then given its
influence and support to men for impor-
tant State offices, who were much more
gu lty of imprudence, yea of malfea-
SARGE, than Mr.. Cunningham has been
as city collector of Richmond. The
NJ VS. Leader supported Geo. w. Koiner
TO- Commissioner Of Agriculture, and to
NIKE its position consistent, it ought to
cali upon him to resign. The Legisla-
tuse of 1906 appointed joint committee
to xamine the books and accounts of
officers at the Seat of Government. The
committee engaged the services of ex-
pert accountants to help in the investi-
G. ion. and on the 18th Of August, 1907,
it ompleted its report, which was re-
turned to the Legislature that met in
ia usry, 1908. The report was unan-
imVus one and signed by each member
of the Committee. That report states:

WORK ON The

HAS STARTED
GRADING FOR THE SITE COM
MENCED YESTERDAY-WILL
BE RUSHED.

Yesterday the work of grading for
the foundation of the Tonopah Elk
tension mill, was started and before
many days the erecting of the struc-
ture will be under way. The final
surveys were complete Saturday and
now everything is clean sailing for
the building OF what will be the
third mill of the Tonopah district
This work will be under the SUI
pervision of Fred M. Fields, one OF
the foremost mining engineers in the
west. For long period Mr.. Fields
was employed at the Montana where
he devised the process with which to
treat the ores from that mine. Tails
process is now being used in the Mon.
tana mill and has proved more than
satisfactory, saving a greater per cent
of the values than any other method
The Extension mill will have prac-
tically the same devices as the Mon.
tana and will be of fifty STAMP
capacity, the construction to be sc
that additional stamps can be easily
installed as the occasion requires.
1t has not been definitely decided
upon as to what power will be USED
as this matter is now being discussed
A portion of the machinery has beer
ordered and should arrive any day
While the present force of men EN-
ployed is not large, they will b.
added to as fast as possible, as tn,
management intends to rush thu
work of construction.
