Last night read for the first time the statement
of Mrs. w. II. Slnallw0od in the Troy tkas.l CAisE
Ii Is true aud therefore inexpressibly sad. We had
known Smallwo0d from boyhood. He had worked
for us ~ . printer twenty yeaB ago. Then We lost
sight Of him for long time, and did not meet him
again until be was Secretary of State in Kansas. In
that position knew him well. II the Of .
fool I'm Office Soft words had securcd his election,
but never was there greater ncapacify and weakness
in place demanding ability and strensth His sur
roundinsS were like hina-asscs or thieves
lie aspircd t0 . higher place, and his dishonesty
was proved. lie sold State books, took the money,
aid made report Of it lie employed - lad maa
for engineer, paying him for . whole year when he
was idle mine m0nths Of the time, Ills contracts for
coal and gas were such only rascal could make,
and cost the State thousands of dollars every
As member Of the State Boarl Of Equalization he
was fawning sycophant, ready upon the instant to
reduce railroad By the million for the sake of
pass secretly given.
Smallw0cd had no brains. lie could spend more
hours in talking about nothing than his successor,
Cavanaugh. Either one couid make thirty-nne out
Of a possible forty.
How much he stole from Kansas no body will ever
know. The committees who investigated him were
always looked upon disreputable persons-they
were investigating Republican, officer. So he was
whitewashed and escaped, and is now holding an
ohee the Pacific coast, from which he ought to be
kicked ont with the rapidity Of lightning. IL is not
surprising that he has deserted his wife, noble and
true woinan We knew her well. She quiet,
hardworkng. suffering in silence, while Smallwood
was gambling away income Of six thousand dollars
year. The State paid the gas bills Of his poker
room. Now SmailwoOd has deserted his wife and
child, secured divorce in Washington Territory,
and married woman. May the Lord have
mercy upon her.-Web. Wilder, st. Joseph Herald.
