State Funds For Campaigns,

Colorado has new statute regulating
campaign expenses and methods of rails
ing funds, which is approved by Cover
nor Shafroth as a means of purifying
elections by shutting off contributions
from corporations and restricting the
amount available for expenditure. The
plan is to appropriate from the State
treasury a sum based upon Is cents for
each voter, and to add an assessment
upon each candidate of 40 per cent of
the first years salary of each Office.
Under this plan, the contribution of the
State next year will be SOS, $50, divided
between the parties in proportion to the
vote cast by each. Half of this sum
goes to the managers of the State cam
paign, and half to the county commit
tees. Thus each party receives State
fund of about $S2, 900, aside from the
Of candidates. In Nebras-
ka the total funds available to the two
State committees do not exceed $40, 900
each Yet Nebraska, without the wo-
man suffrage Of Colorado, polled 5000
more votes In 1903 than did the latter
State.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

There is disposition among the Dem
ocratic papers of the State to make
light Of the platform adopted by the
Republicans at Newport News. They
regard 1t as a weak and platitudiuous
presentation of the issues that are to be
raI ed in the gubernatorial campaign.
Being without any platform themselves,
of course the Democrats will try to de-
tract from the merit of that presented
by the Republicans. The Richmond
Tin.es-D ispatch says:
"A cursory glance at the first sum-
maT1es suggests nothing in the least i'm
pre- 'sive. 1t rather looks as if the Re-
pub licana had lacked holiness to make
the most of their opportunities.
The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot speaks of
the platform as being las vague and
spir eless as it could well be to say any,
thirg at all"
A@AC Nv uOI u0QSrLdke
wri;e platform that would be accept
able to either the Democratic press or
leadership of the State. However, in
stes of lacking holiness, they have de-
fan 1iy charged the Democratic party,
both national and state, with incapac-
ity, insincerity and mismanagement of
the States public affairs. In support
of these charges they have specifically
mer toned some particular instances;
and the fact that others were not men,
ton ID was because of the great space
and length of time it would have re-
quir ID to mention them all.
In the matter Of economical admins
frat on of the State government, it
wou have been wasted effort to have
writ zen the many delinquencies of the
Democratic party in the platform.
These dslinqusncies are well known 70

Our Marines.

raul Theilman in New York American.
Owing to the unfortunate case Of
Lieut.. Sutton, there may be unmerited
oiseredlt cast on that most distinguished
body of our military, the United States
Marine Corps.
1t Is our Oldest military arm. 1t has
served on land and sea since the earliest
days, and it has never turned its back
to foe.
In the Barbary-in Mexico-in China
in the Philippines China again
the Marine Corps never failed.
1t stormed Chapultepec. Allover the
world-in Asia, in Africa, in Central
America, in Mexico, in the Philippines
the United States Infantry has been
IN the foreline with record of invince-
IDLE valor that makes it the most distin-
guished troop in the world.
1t is wrong to attach to this noble
corps the stigma of a drunken brawl
among some of its young officers. The
episode has nothing to do with the rank
and file of the corps.
Today it is composed of slim bows. IN
stead Of grizzled veterans. But it is
sure that the boys of today would not
fail to make as good as the heroes that
carried the heights of Chapultepec and
stormed the Korean forts.
Guantanamo must be remembered.
All night long the Marines fought the
Spanish army. And these Marines were
right in saying: First, the Marines;
next, the negro troops; then, the regu-
lars, and at last, the volunteers.
The Marines first-slwsys the Ma
rines firstl
So merely wish to declare the milf
tary honor of the United States Marine
Corps-a body of soldiery never defeat
ed-and upon whose banners are en-
blazoned many of the most glorious vic
tories of the republic.

Decrepit Spain.
Washington Herald.

Spain, apparently, is in the throes of
nor eless discomfort. 1t is old, haggard
worn out, Poverty stalks rampant
from one end of the nation to the other.
want cries abroad in the land. There is
no love for the royal house; there is no
price IN the feats of Spanish arms. The
country seems we'll past the ultimate
hour of its probable regeneration.
No wonder, in all these melancholy
circumstances, the people bitterly re-
sent war abroad. The crushed and
hungry peasantry care naught for Span
ish ambition in Morocco. They paid and
paid for years for Spanish misgovern-
ment in Cuba and the Philippines; and
nothing save humiliation, sorrow. and
defeat came in the end. Send their
sons to the front now, and to die-for
what! Better, in Spanish philosophy of
this day and time, riots and revolution
at home.
Inc government may be, theoretical
~, ever so right in meeting the crisis
now upon the fatherland, of course. But
WHEN there is nothing but bitterness in
the subjects hearts, when patriotism,
of the kind the government invokes. is
dead past all resurrection, what shall it
profit the powers that be in Spain? The
people are worse than sullen; they are
openly and aggressively against the
government. The very throne itself
totters, and may fall at any moment.
Poor old Spain! 1t is more to be pitied
than scorned, perhaps. Once it was the
worlds mightiest nation; once it held
the destinies of all the earth in the hol-
low OF its hand. 1t has given to HISTORY
many of its greatest men-scholars. ex-
plorers, statesmen, students, philoso-
pliers, and authors. Now it is an i'm
potent, unmanageable thing; a nation
without honor and without repute.
The civilized nations, we think. have
an abundance of sympathy for young
King Alfonso, and wish him mighty
well. All of them would be overioyed
to see him lead his nation out of the
gloom OF despair now apparently sur
rounding it. But it seems almost I'M
reasonable to expect it.

planned to them during the progress of
the campaign by speakers and through
the Republican newspapers of the State.
The Republican platform very plainly
and boldly announces the position of the
party on the important issues of the
day. The questions of taxation, of
election of State, county, city and dis
trict officers, are treated in a frank and
bold manner. So with the fee system.
the liquor question, popular education.
honest elections, Improvement of public
roads, bank examiners, fire insurance
trusts, convict labor and pure food leg

These embrace about all the impor-

popular attention in Virginia. And no
one who is not blind can fail to see
where the Republicans stand on these
matters.

1t will be gratifying to the Tazewell
friends of Hon. A. p. Gillespie to learn
that the sentiment with Republicans
throughout the State was almost solidly
for his nomination for governor. In
the cities and in all the rural sections
thousands of Democrats were declaring
their intention to vote for him, no mat
ter whom the Democrats chose as their
candidate. 1t is unfortunate for the
party and for the State that Mr.. Giles

universal demand for his candidacy.
