Secretary of War Dickinson, recent

Civil War history, was commenting
!he other day on the fact that during
the first year of the war, no less than
40 per cent. OF the Confederate com
manders were northern born men. 4.
Plain five cent soap has taken the
place Of a twenty-five cent pertumed
brand at the White House wash room
maintained for the use of the Presi'
dents visitors, since ex.Secretary Nor
toms efficiency and economy program
was Instituted.
Huntington Wilson, assistant Score
tary Of State. has the choicest brand
Of cigarettes OF any government Off
cial. He imports them himselg.
One might say that the day Of the
"Tennis Cabinet" had returned, but
for the fact that the sessions on the
tennis court back Of the executive
Offices lack the presence Of the occu-
pant Of the White House: Secretary
OF the Navy Meyer, assistant Secre-
tary Beekman Winthrop, and Ambas-
sador Juserand are the most regular
attendants.
More callers are received each day
by Major General Leonard Wood,
chief Of star, III, s. A. than by any
man in the government service with
the exception Of the President They
keep the General SO busy that he has
formed the habit OF doing without
lunch, and contents himself with an
apple or two eaten at his desk.

COUNTY CLERKS SALARY.

The annual report of Auditor Don
oboe is very important document,
calling for closer analysis and more
extended comment than we are yet
prepared to make. It discloses con-
ditions that show loose administra-
ton of public affairs in the past and
demand radical amendment for the
future. The Auditor is to be COM
mended for this frank exposition of
the financial status of the Common
wealth, and for unfolding to the tax
payers the defects and abuses In the.
system under which the public reven-
ues are expended Had like state
ment been earlier made the needed
remdies would have been applied be-
fore the leakages assumed alarming
proportions, but heretofore the state
ments issuing from the fiscal bur-
eaus in Virginia have been chiefly
remarkable for their failure to throw
any real light on the manner in which
the public business was conducted
and the public moneys disbursed.
Now instead of meaningless tabula-
tons of figures we have at last a
document which tells an ineligible
story and is reinforced by intelligent
suggestions of cure for what is wrong.
We shall refer to the report at an
early date. Meanwhile every voter
in Virginia should carefully study Its
Observation-Disclosures.

the mans punishment was too severe.
This letter was evidently written with
a hope of securing cle1nency for a
dying man, and he gets it with a ven
geance.
The punishment contained in the
conditions of pardon prescribed by
Governor Mann to man Of human
emotions is tenfold worse than the
fate of an ordinary convict.
Coldly estimated, the Governors
theory that men pardoned on account
of i'll health should be returned when
well to serve out their sentence may
be correct in principle, but it is IN
fortunate that it is put into practice
in the case of a man who, because
he has an infectious disease, cannot
be permitted to go home to die.
The State may rob a man of his
liberty and even his life as an atone
ment for his violation Of the law,
but there is no law so inhumane
as to crush his heart and wreck his
soul by the withdrawal Of all human
sympathy and the forbidding Of those
little devotions from loved ones that
make up the best of all human life.
Look at it as you will, the Cover
nor's theory Is harsh and crushing to
all human hopes.
The pardoning power is given to
the chief executive to pardon even
the guilty if his judgment and his
conscience agree, but it should not
be used to hasten the death of the
helpless.

A CRUEL PARDON.

Governor Mann yesterday granted
q pardon to J. T. Cardwell Of Pitt
sylvania county, who was serving a
15-year sentence for the killing of
L. D. Clark, which followed as a re-
suit of an alteration.
Clemency was allowed the prisoner
on account of his health, as he is i'll
with tuberculosis. Pursuant to a
policy announced some days ago,
however, the executive allowed the
pardon only on condition that Card
we'll leave the State and undergo
treatment for his disease at some in
stitution in Colorado. He will not
be permitted to return to his home
where he may endanger the health
Of others.
There is a refinement of cruelty
in the provisions of Gov. Mann's
pardon that would touch the sensi-
bilities of an Apache Indian, says the
Richmond Journal.
If the man was not all ready in
curably i'll the crushing of all human
hope and the exchange to condition
equal to the outcast leper of old
would finish the work commenced by
disease.
Human sympathy exists in scant de-
gree in the penitentiary, but it is a
loving fraternity Of the brotherhood
of man in comparison to the fate
which this man is offered by the
chief executive of Virginia.
The judge of the court, which con-
victed Cardwell, in a letter to Gov
Mann declared that the length OF

LABOR AND LIQUOR.

1.-THE laboring man is the hope OF
the country in the fight against the
rum traffic." declared John B. Len
non, treasurer Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, to the delegates at
the annual convention Of the Anti
Saloon League of America at the
First Presbyterian church in wash
ington yesterday. Lennon asserted
the battle would never be won nor
effective work accomplished until the
great army of laboring men was
taught what liquor does. He strong
" denounced "wet" and dry fights
The greatest opportunity in the
fight against the saloon, he declared,
was to be found in organized labor.
The liquor forces had boosted, he
said, that as long as organized labor
stood back Of them, they had no fear
OF the church. This combination can
be broken up, he said, just as soon
as Christian men and women begin
to interest themselves in organized
labor.
While the Gazette has always ia
ken the middle of the road on the
liquor question, never believing in
the utility of eliminating from the
world an ancient commodity because
a certain class refuses to handle it
with caution, the sentiment expressed
by the labor official referred to above
should be read slowly by all the
working men, The fact is apparent
to all who will stop to observe that
a large percentage Of the stimulants
consumed in the world is purchased
by men who can Ill afford the lux
ury. Those whose business carry
them to saloons generally find that
the majority Of the patrons are from
the ranks Of labor. Ignoring the
many heartaches and headaches that
result from tarrying too long with the
wine, to say nothing of the tragedies
and distress incident to the abuse of
liquor, the fact remains that If the
money spent yearly by the working
men of the world was turned into
other channels, many homes would
be frightened, while the working men
themselves would take the places in
the community to which they are just
ly entitled. In these days of public
libraries and the many institutions
destined for the uplift Of the human
race, means are afforded to all, no
matter how lowly their birth, to
rise superior to their conditions.
But men, unfortunately, imagine
Saturday would be blank in their
existence were they by some freak
of fate to go home in sober state.
The man who can resist the tempta-
tion to do so is naturally respected
by his friends and acquaintance,
while the unfortunate who Zigzags to
his anxious wife and children is an
object of commiseration by all who
know MIN.

STATE PRESS.

Congratulations are offered to the
city of Richmond that in two-weeks
campaign her people have subscribed
$4,000 for the building and con-
duct of a Young Woman's Christian
Association. When the full amount
had been subscribed Miss Helen Gould
who does the right thing at the right
time, added an additional $4,000.
Richmond had a Young Woman's
Christian Association, but it had be-
come inadequate to the fast growing
need of the city in that respect. The
enlargement of the institution will
be welcomed by the people of the sew
eral neighboring States. Richmond,
becoming more and more of center,
attracts increasing numbers of girls
from Virginia, North and South Car
DINA, Alabama, West Virginia and
Maryland. Nobody in this world is
in worse danger than young and in
experienced girl, from the country,
lonesome, homesick, craving amuse-
ment and companionship and unac-
quainted with the snares and wick
edness besetting her in large and
strange city. An institution to pro-
vide these girls with a home, to make
sure they are looked after prop
erly, to give them the right kind of
association and guidance until they
are established, must be source of
vast good and a prevention of vast
harm.-Roanoke News.
