Examiner Ikcin.

The newspaper bosses are just now engaged
in abusing the civil service commissioners
because of their selection of Mr.. Keim as chief
examiner. The REPUBLICAN doesn't care
for Mr.. Keim, but the public was led to be-
lieve by the journalistic bosses that when the
civil service was taken out Of the hands OF
corrupt, cabinet officers, collectors, and post
masters, and given into tho keeping Of
the commission, headed by Mr.. Eatonj all
would go we'll. Can it be possible that the
journalistic bosses are going to insist on boss
ing tho commission Why not give
Eaton, Gregory, Thoman, and Keim
a chance? Suppose Examiner Keim was
machine" man once upon time, are not
the newspaper bosses willing to welcome re-
cruits to tho reform ranks2 Thoman is not
life long reformer, and it may bo that
Keim, recent though his conversion may be,
is quite as sincere as Mr. Thoman, or as Mr..
Pendloton, who discovered Mr.. Thoman. The
REPUBLICAN hardly expected to be called
upon so soon to defend the commission against
the assaults of the bosses. Mr.. Koim may
not bo able to show college diploma, and ho
may not wear dress coat to breakfast, and
he may not do his hands up in tapioca pud-
ding when he sleeps, but bci is the first Off
spring of n commission which was horalded by
these sclf-samo journals as the one thing
needed to throw the millennium light on this
wicked old world. Why shatter all these
fond hopes Give Keim a chance. He is a
reformer. He says he is.

M1cHIeAEs eccentric governor, tho man
with name like swearword, gives evil
dences of being human in that, his strength
has limits. For several weeks this inde-
pendent executive has permitted himself ia
be overworked by the friends of gentlemen
who have boon so unfortunate as to become
immured in the state penitentiary. He
appears to have worn himself out in the labor
Of signing pardons; and tho word has gone
forth that he will grant no moro of them

Precautionary Measures.

Saturday of the new escapes which
Mr., Rounds has caused TO be put up
The office sis none too safe, and
even the utmost that can be done

public printer to insure the country against
the risk Of heavy loss there. But at leas

False Then, False Now.

Some months ago, when the Pendleton
civil service bill was under discussion and
the self-styled reform journals were charging
that cabinet officers, senators, and members
Of congress were corrupt, The REPUBLICAN
intimated that with so much dishonesty
and stupidity in tho country, it might be
that a commission might not be above the
things charged upon cabinet officers, sena-
tors, and members. Already the self-styled
professional reformers are abusing the COM
missioners, some charging its members with
stupidity, while others charge that the few
places filed by the commissioners were used
in trade and dicker. The REPUBLICAN did
not believe the charges of the newspaper
bosses then against the cabinet officers mem
bers, and senators, and it does not believe
their charges now against the commissioners,

In these II cases the District At
torney charges 1925 for services which
he never rendered.
Probably as many more cases are on
Justice Lemons docket in which
the District Attorney did not put in
any appearance; but for these no
charge was made. Why District At
torney Bruner should charge for some
cases in which he did not appear, and
not charge for others, is a mystery.
If he is entitled topay in any of these
cases, he is entitled to pay in all of
them. At any rate, this matter should
be investigated, in order to ascertain
IN how many cases this has been done,
and the TINES will do its utmost to
have it sifted to the bottom.
The investigation made by the
ZINES reporter occupied few hours
of several days, as lie loun! time to

The editor OF the TINES has been
told that, if he made publication of
these charges, he would be called to
account; but the time is past when an
independent newspaper, working for

muzzled or inundated. We expressly
disclaim and deny any other motive in
making publication of this matter than
the duty Of pointing out a public
wrong, with the hope of correcting it.

lie Got $2,717.5O from the County
Treasury for the Quarter Ending
October 1-Charging for Services
which he Never Rendered. "Leak''
that Must be Stopped at Once.
AT the last meeting Of the Board of
County Commissioners, District At
torney Bruner presented land was al
lcwedD a bill of s2,717.5O for his SER
vices as District Attorney during the
preceding three months. In addition
to the above, at least S245 was allowed
other attorneys for services as Deputy
District Attorneys for the same PEI
riod-making total of nearly $4,000
for the quarter.
This heavy bill naturally caused
much comment on the outside. The
TIMES reporter heard of this, and
began an investigation. Obtaining
the bill he started out with the
intention OF comparing it With the
court dockets. At the Probate Court.
Judge Parsons handed out his docket,
but said he knew the District ATTORNEY
had no case on his bill from his docket
to which he was not entitled AS he
(Parsons) had read the titles of the
cases out to him, and the District At
torney had charged for none but those.
If he had made any unlawful charge,
the Probate Judge was as much to
blame as the District Attorney, as he
had recommended the payment Of the
hill.
Justice Lennon was also visited.
He handed over his docket, and the
reporter then compared the bill with
it. The reporter found that in the fol-
lowing cases, in which the District
Attorney had made the charges stated,

to the ends on Main street. They ex-

afternoon, aud tapped at thu corner Of
Bullion and Main streets. A stream
was thrown to h:ghth of about Is
feet, or sufficient to reach over the
highest building in town. The full
pressure was not on the pipes, either,
as the reservoir was not one quarter
full. In about a week, when the air
shall have been expelled from the
pipes, the pressure will probably be
sufficient to throw a stream GO feet.

Many others have announced their in.
