Sressional committee in obtaining in

guilty OF most reprehensible conduct.
Mr.. Glass charged Mr.. Swanson did
this very thing. Mr. Swanson denies
the charge and says that Congress
was not In session when he engaged
in these speculatioRs. As a matter OF
fact. the stocks were bought upon the
advice OF a Richmond man who is q
bitter enemy of the Tobacco Trust
but who saw that the stock would
appreciate in value and advised his
friends to purchase.
1t has been intimated that Mr.
Swanson made this purchase about
the time that the Ways and Means
Committee was considering the bill
repeating the Spanish war revenue
tax upon tobacco. The effect of the
repeal OF this tax hardly would have
been expected to AFFECT the price of
the stock OF the company, since the
company did not pay the tax. but
simply added 1t to the price of the
tobacco.
The charge against Swanson Is not
so serious that IL shows that he IS un-
fit for the position Of United States
Senator. We cannot help inclining to
believe that the individual or the
newspaper giving this as a reason for
declining TO support Mr.. Swanson was
pretty strongly inclined that way be-
fore Mr.. Glass brought the charge.
The charge was a good excuse. A
citizen who wants to vote for Mr.
Swanson or Mr.. Glass has a perfect
right to do so. He owes il to him
self, however, to give an honest rea-
son for his courSe.-Petersburg In

RIG MON ID VA Special
The investigation of rural typhoid
carried on by the State Board OF
Health is considered OF such value
that the Department announced today
that the study would be continued
until the entire State has been COW
cred.
This announcement follows the in
formal report on conditions on the
Eastern Shore. made by DR.. l.. l..
LUmsden, of the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service.
and DR.. A W. Freeman, Assistant
Commissioner OF Health.
DIR. Freeman and DR.. Lumsden were
recently sent TO the Eastern Shore to
investigate conditions in certain To-
calities where typhoid fever had been
prevalent in a small way for a number
OF years Careful investigation there
convinced the Department that a like
study in other parts OF the State
would be of value in the prevention
OF the disease.
Much of our typhoid" said Health
Commissioner Williams today, occurs
I'm the country and in the villages
While the various factors which tend
to spread fever in such localities are
generally familiar, a study of the
methods which led to the spread of
fever in particular instances Is, always
valuable. Methods of prevention can
then be recommended with assurance
and success"

In the heal of a political campaign.

In the heat of a political campaign,
when partisanry runs so high, it is
easy for man to lose his powers of
clear discernment and sound judg-
ment This has been illustrated on
both sides during the pending senate
rial campaign. Several times the In
dex-Appeal has called the attention
of supporters of Senator Martin to
the fact that they were going too far
in certain particulars. Several times,
too, we have observed that those
newspapers opposing Senator Martin
were making mountains out of mole
hills.
Representative Glass, in charging
Senator Swanson with specializing in
the stock of the American Tobacco
Company, charged that 1t was i'm
proper for him to engage in this spec
ulation while q member Of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means of the
House Of Representatives. It is
strange that both the defenders of
Senator Swanson and his opponents
appear to have lost sight entirely the
eravamen OF the charge against him.

n correspondent of one Of the Rich
mond newspapers says that il the
state abolishes the fee system as a
method of paying officeholders. IL
should then take steps to reduce the
fees in many instances.
That is another question TO be reclx
oned with. These charges. in many
cases, are eXOrbitant and are unjusti-
liable imposition on the victims 1t is
strange TO us that the public has not
risen up in protest long ago. We have
IN mind case where a refined wo-
man was Inundated by having her
furniture attached. 1t was an unne-
,essary proceeding. and as soon as the
papers were served a friend stepped
ia, paid the claim and stopped the
proceedings. But numberless papers
mad been served and the total cost
was more than 10 per cent. of the
entire claim.
The fee system is outrageously high
ana is kept high for the benefit of
those who collect the fees. There
should be reduction in any event.
But II the State puts all her office
holders on a salary basis and takes
reduced fees for her part, that will
make the change so much the more
uncertain in its effect. The first thing
to be done is to ascertain how much
money is now collected in fees by the
oftlceholders. Then the Legislature
viii know what TO count on Then
the Legislature can make a pretty fair
estimate as to whether or not the
proposed change could be made with
out embarrassing the State treasury.
