TILE PETTY CAESAR.

MANY special pleas have been Fled
for county and city treasurers, setting
forth that because OF the efficiency OF
certain ones holding such Offices, INC
proposed amendments to the Consul
tuition of Virginia giving them IN
definite tenure should become law.
Many good people have denied that
there is an office holders' trust, Many
people have scorned the idea that
county officers are trying to cstanilsh
a ring or machine which Will per-
petuate them In power and authority
Many attempts have been made TO
paint the county treasurer as clad in
Immaculate robes Of political inno-
cence.
Establishment must come sooner or
later. It was only yesterday that a
very prominent citizen Of one of tho
Tidewater counties was heard to say
that the treasurer of his county is
attempting to dictate to the voters In
that county as to what men should
be chosen for the county officers at
the next election. He has his own
"slate" arranged. This man Is said to
be building up his own vaccine. defy
ing many Of the present officc-holders.
and lntimidating others. His every ef-
fort at the next election Will be bent
toward carrying out his intention to
build up strong and successful per-
sonal machine. He is using his otliIe
to that end
This Is a single instance, out OF
many. tending to show the temper of
the office holders in Virginia. They
have smacked the cocktail of power
and they are longing to become in
toxtcated with authority. Petty tyrants
already, they would seek the imperial
influence of local Caesars. Reduced TO
plain words, the county traasurers
wish to WELD the power of local
bosses and defeat the practical oper,
alton of the Democratic principle OF
rotation In Office.
Such ambitions as these ought to be
nipped in the bud. The voters will
see to it in November that county treas
urers are not clothed with such power
as will enable them to continue them
| selves indefinitely in office. The peo-
pie will do much toward busting" the
| office holders trust If they kill the
proposed amendments to the Consti-
| tuition.
