Startling Statements.

Considering the claims that have been
made for the Massachusetts schools
here is something which should receJye
a very careful examination. Charges
of corruption were made some time ago
against several city officials in Fall
River. AT the investigation last week.
according TO the Associated Press dis
patch sent out, it appears that M.
Bobrick of the Bobrick Furniture Com
pany got into a controversy with tn,
committee and finally made an abso-
lutte statement that it is Impossible to
sell school furniture in almost every
city of the commonwealth of Massa-
chuse'tts without the use of money. He
furthermore said that If the Fall River
investigation would improve the con-
uftions in other cities he was willing to
spend money freely to reveal the true
state of affairs.
Perhaps charitable view of the mat
ter would be that Mr.. Bobrick was in
AZ 9blitNliti Hedteu ana exaggerated
frame of mind over the controversy
when ne made these statements. Il
must be admitted. however. that under
such excitement men sometimes speak
the truth as they would not under nor
NAL conditions. If he was party to the
corruption. of the Fall River officials, II
