state Auditors.

The grand jury that found indictments
against the police justice of Newport News
made the recommendation that the books of
all officials handling city and State funds be
audited by competent auditor at least once
a year, and that certain practices. alleged to
be illegal, be stopped, among them the remit
ting OF fines imposed. +"
Time and time again the general assembly
has had before it bills for the creation of
system of State auditors, and as regularly has
the proposition received no favorable action.
The legislature in its wisdom did provide
for somebody to travel around and measure
the length of hotel bed sheets, but of not less
importance we should say was the examination
of the accounts OF officials who handle State
funds.
The theory has been advanced that il would
seemingly indicate suspicion of dishonesty
to have such examination made, but no sensf-
Bile person would subscribe to that, and in
fact the legislature names committees to ex-
anime the various State Offices Many of the
counties and cities employ and pay regular
accountants to examine the accounts of it's
officers, and nobody attaches any suspicion of
dishonesty to such proceeding. 1t is the SEN
sible and reasonable thing to do, otherw Sc
wel-conducted enterprises would not make it
a regular occurrence.
1t is exceedingly rare that national bank
examiners find deliberate fraud practiced
and banks do not regard the examinations as
reflections upon them. the contrary it is
doubtful if they would submit to their dis
continuance.
The suggestion of the Newport News grand
jury should be adopted by the State and
corps OF auditors be provided by law to ex-
anime the accounts of all officers handling
State funds-Norfolk Ledger Dispatch
A Magnificent Debate

Democracy Asserts Its Freedom.

The nomination of Congressman William
Sulzer Democracys candidate for the gov
ernorship of New York is happy omen both
for the party and for the cause of free govern
ment. Mr.. Suffers ability is known the nation
over and his record is one of answering fealty
to progressive principles. Most important of
all, perhaps, at the present time ia the fact
that he has proved himself singuarly indie
pendent of Tammany; in several instances, in
deed, he has been nominated to congress over
the stubborn protest of Charles F. Murphy.
and at the Syracuse convention he was prob
ably the last man whom Murphy himself would
have named
The one out-jutting moral Of this convention
is its freedom from boss control. 1t carried a
stride further the good work that was begun
at Baltimore and that continued in New
Jersey when James Smith, Jr., defeated
for the senatorial nomination The retreat of
Murphy in New York the direct conse
quence of that awakened public thought which
has found expression and leadership in Wood
row Wilson
When it was suggested week two ago
that the delegates to the Syracuse convention
would resist Tammany's dictation, the Old
Guard of politicians chuckled cynieally and
said 1t would be useless Even after Governor
Wilson issued his stimulating appeal for q
free minded convention there we're many stifed
filters. Was not Murphy boss, and had he not
decided that Governor Dix, his plant man,
should be renominated? But there were more
things in heaven and earth than were dreamed
of in that easygoing philosophy The same
progressive power that had overswept the boss
at Baltimore came laundering again about his
head He saw the inevitable and he surren-
dered. as bosses always do when true leaders
backed by the partys rank and file, appear.
Had he chosen to fight, the result would have
been the same, but not more significant.--A

GOOD LESSON FROM GERMANY

Form Of Despotlsm Over the
Owners OF Property.

A common exercise Of the individ-
ual fancy is to decide with wealth
OF detail what one would do II one
had, say, $4,000 900. declares the New
York Tribune. The movement for
"cties beautiful" which the public
hears Of every now and then resem-
bles this pastime. When Chicago.

It may be, considers becoming Chi
cago Beautiful or Pittsburgh Beauti-
full or Boston Beautiful 1t Ia making
up its mind what 1t would do II 1t
had 3lOO,000,000. There Is even
profession of telling cities what they
might do II they had 500. 100000, and
the experts are kept fairly busy about
1t. The Tribune hopes that Brooklyn.
the latest to consult one OF these ex-
perts. will have millions enough to
make her as beautiful as she wishes
to become. This consulting about
what might be done to make Ameri-
can cities more presentable Ia a good
sign In itself. The public Is not so
content as formerly to trust their de-
velopment to haphazard. Its result
has been had in respect Of beauty, OF
health and even of business economy.
But in determining their own future
development American cities are sad
ly behind those of Europe, where,
especially in Germany. municipalities
exercise a sort OF benevolent despot-
ism over the uses to which the indi-
vidual property owner may put his
property.
