A Justification.

The position taken by the LEAD
BR that county officers are merely
the peoples servants to perform
certain duties are carefully laid
down by law, and further, that in
the performance of these duties the
ohcers have no legal nor moral
right to keep anything secret or in
the dark, and that it is the solemn
duty OF the press to keep the people
informed on these subjects, has just
received an ample justification
from Linn county.
G, F, Russell, the county school
superintendent of that county has
turned defaulter and fled to parts
unknown, leaving his bondsmen to
make up a 81 900 shortage. An
insight INTO rne way IN wIrIru rrx,
got hold of the money shows that a
deplorable state Of business affairs
have been in existence in Linn
county. To obtain a part of these
school funds which he embezzled
he had to forge the names of school
clerks to school orders, and report
new districts created where none
existed, and pretend to continue
some which had been discontinued
These were all palpable frauds and
most easily discoverable, had the
press done its duty to the people,
Had synopsis OF the business
transacted by the county treasurer
and the school superintendent been
published those clerks would have
known at once that the school or
ders with their pames attached
were forgeries, and the drawing OF
money for discontinued districts
have been easily detected. But
there was no pay in publishing
these things and so they were not
published,
Newspapers owes as much of a
duty to protect the community
which feeds them as they do to
stuff their own purses.

have discovered that he has been
guilty of systematic robbery of the
school fund and that he took with
him considerable county school
money.
1t has been customary for the
school superintendent to draw
money for school districts from the
treasurer and send it to the clerks
as an accommodation. In some cases
he forged the names of clerks OF
school districts and in others gave
ficticious names Of clerks of school
districts having no exietance.
The full amount of his embezzel-
ment Is not known. Over 81 ,ooo
is known to be stolen and perhaps
much more. When last heard of
Russell was in Omaha. He tele.
graphed his wife here asking If she
would come to him. She refused
and returned to her parents at
Shedds. Russell is aged about IS
and had heretofore been considered
honest.

News and Politics Mixed.

+. Fulsome, democratic treasures
of Umatilla county, has been found
short in his account In the sum of
$40, 700. The discovery was made
on the demand Of the county court
for a statement. Fulsome's bonds.
men are said to be able to make
the amount of the shortage good"
The funny part comes in when II
is learned that Fulsome was not a
democrat at all, but was strong
republican. These efforts to mix
news and politics get comical some
times,
