SPACE AND EDITORIALS. >

Several days ago Secretary Bennett,
of the United States Senate made
public the reports OF Senators Martin
and swanson OF their campaign ex-
penses, as required by the publicity law
enacted at the recent session OF Con-
grcss. These reports. which were the
hrst 10 be made urier the law. were
fled ten days before the election held
yesterday. Application for the re-
ports was drst denied by Benefits Of
flee force on the ground that the
law required only that they should be
Med With tie secretary OF the Senate
or the clerk OF the House: but Score
tary Bennett determined that the in
tent of the law was to give the full
Is. publicity, and by hts instructions
these two reports were given to the
newspapers. at the time thoy were
made public. congressman Jones and
Glass had not filed their reports.
Not including the assessment of
$4,000, which every ono Of tho candi-
dates was required by the State Cen
trail Committee to put up to help de-
fray the expenses of the election, SEN
ator Martin reported that he had spent
f34S for space in and subscriptions to
various newspapers, and a considerable
sub, figures not given, OF which the
law does not require an accounting. for
travel. stationery. telegraph and tele-
phone expenses. Senator Swanson re-
ported that he had expended for news
paper space and subscriptions the sum
OF sS22. and S55 the week for head
quarters at a Richmond hotel Sena-
tor Martin reported that his expenses
on headquarters account would be
small. Each reported that he "ex-
pected TO incur n further expense of
several hundred dollars for space and
editorials" and this is one feature OF
their reports that 1t seems to us
should be Investigated by the Virginia
Press Association
Space in the newspapers and sub
scriptions TO the newspapers was
wholly legitimate business matter. the
advertising columns OF the papers be-
Ing open to all alike, at regular prices
Tor the use OF any and all candidates.
The statement however (and we have
taken the report in the Washington
Post as our authority. that any money
was paid the newspapers for "edito-
rials' should be investigated by the
ffess Association, not for the purpose
OF condemning the candidates who
spent their money for this purpose but
Tor the purpose OF exposing the news
papers which sold their opinions. We
have protested against the slnnderous
statements of Professor Dodd and 9TH
ers that the press OF Virginia IS "a
reptile press" purohasable press, and
the newspapers should insist mo,

Der accepted money for the use OF
their editorial columns from any Of

Spending years In throwing bottles

patton, but Captain Alexander Simp-

Society, says 1t is not. He has been
spending a lot of time casting bottles

ty-six years. Like bread cast upon tho
waters. his bottles arc coming back to
him. He is Interested in tho trend OF
ocean currents and Is proving many
interesting things about the way the
deep blue water flows. He declares
that some bottles tossed overheard
near Cape Horn were picked UP on
the Shetland Islands. Captain Simpson
has put 10000 bottles to work since
he took up this scientific pastime. and
