THE MICHIGAN STATE scandal.
STEPS TAKEN TO PREVENT SUPPRESSION OF
FACTS IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE
SECRETARY OF STATES OFFICE

Lansing Mich. Dec. 10 (SpeciaD-The Democratic
leaders of Michigan not to be permitted to suppress
the facts In the of Secretary Of State Soper As
the matter stood last night, the report Of the commit
tee appointed yesterday to examine into the affairs Of
the Secretary of States Office would become the per-
sonal property of a group of Democratic officials who
could make it public or smother It, as they might
think best To-day, however. Judge Rolln II. Person.
of this judicial circuit called the attention OF Prosecu
ing Attorney Prosser 10 the affair, and directed him
IN attend all meetings of the committee as repre-
sentative of the people and, II the charges OF NAL
feasance should be sustained, institute criminal pro-
ceedings at once against the deposed official. The
Prosecuting Attorney had expected Judge Persons
nroposed action and he will that the interests
Of the people are zealously guarded, and that no
damaging facts which may be brought out by the in
vestigation shall be concealed
The attitude OF Governor Winans and other State
officials I'm relation TO this affair is not an enviable
one. In an interview the Governor said that the
worst feature of the affair Sopers reckless pur
chase of supplies" including among other things
number OF foding-beds. Yet one Of these beds oc-
cnples a CONSPICUOUS place in the Governors private
office where il has stood since the reckless pur
chase was made. The Governor admitted that he
knew all about this and other cases Of malfeasance
several months ago. yet he took no action against the
offending official. An explanation is in order from
State Treasurer BREASTED and Land Commissioner
sbager fellow members with Soper OF the Board OF
Auditors for il was necessary that either one or both
NJ them should consent to the auditing OF bills for
everv "reckless purchase" SOper made. Governor

easily fooled into voting for the allowance O INC p''

One of our subscribers, says the Ma
cungie Progress, sends us particulars
of transaction with the "Paciflc Por-
trait House," Of Chicago, one Of the
many concerns which advertise in pap
ers to send a fine portrait free if pic
ture is sent them to copy it from. As
was the case in many other instances,
the firm wrote and said fine picture
was being made from the one sent
them but they would not send it unless
a suitable frame was purchased from
them to properly show its merits.
When the subscriber wrote them and
stated that he desired no frame but
wished the picture returned, they re-
fused to do so.
This is but one of many instances of
like nature, and often valuable pic
lures are thus sent away and forever
lost as the unscrupulous sharks do not
trouble themselves to return the pic
ture when no frame is purchased at g
fancy price We therefore warn oul
readers to beware of these frauds, anC
if they want pictures or anything else
let them go to a local dealer or artist
and they will invariably be treated
honestly.

The COURSE OF THE Mauch Chunk

wonders much at the Inconsistency of
shat paper now, avowing in one place
TO be out Of the candidate manufsctur-
ing business while elsewhere it let's
loose its deceitful utterance against a
candidate for Office. This is only like
the misnomer Oemocrat) since the
senior editor was defeated for the
legislative nomination, for the first
time several years ago and then again
last year. The people well remember
his efforts to become an independent
candidate for the Office for which he
was defeated, and failing in this how he
tried to defeat the ticket nominated.
With such a record, are there many
people who will have anything to do
with him9 We doubt it, and the only
surprise is that he has for associates
now such men as we're "agin" him last
