Marcus a. Hanna made a speech re.
Gently at Burton. Ohio, in which the
prodiglous egotiem and ignorance of the
man is thus shoy w up by the Omaha
World Herald:
Mr.. Hanna's speech contains just
l,539 words. The personal pronoun is
used just 1O7 times, or an average OF
once every fourteen words. II, Me, My,
Myself" is the burden of the Honna re-
marks. II, in my own heart, vowed to
give myself to the cause of my friend,
Mckinley" said Mr.. Hanna. Il saw the
opportunity, | saw the man, | thought l
saw what was in the hearts of the Amer
lean people," declared Mr.. Hanna. "To
nay country's cause" shouted Mr.. Han.
na,' gave my time and nearly my life
Brave. elf-sacriticing man! II in my
own heart, vowed to give myself to the
cause of my friend Mckinley" No
wonder the pers nal pronoun shrieked
like freedom did when Kosciusko fell.
The poor thing had never been assaulted
like that before. It was enough to
STARE IT into conuiption fits. 1t was war
7anted in calling loudly for help in the
hour OF its greatest tribulat,on. The
average nan speaks at the rate OF about
l5O words u minute. At this rate Mr..
Hanna's speech occupied ten minutes in
delivery. lu that ten minute talk Mr..
Hanna referred 20 himself 107 times, Or
an average Of eleven times II minute
once every five seconds. AS a sample OF
sublime egotlsm, that speech deserves
to be treasured 10 the archives of the
nation, the best place being the Smith.

But while the people are laughing at
the speech they should ponder on the
possibilities of danger arising from re.
warding such egotism by ~elevating it to
high office. It the personal pronouns
were removed from that Burton speech
it would resemble a sieve-more holes
than material.

auditors-Mayhew and Hipple-and
found them in a deplorable condition,
confirming all the charges and allega.
tons of the Sioux Falls Press during
the past four months in regard to these
officers, and Anderson, their c ERIK. Mr.
Tonlinson is particularly severe in bis
denunciations of their methods of doing
business and gives many instances OF
crlminality from the records to prove
his accusations. His general summing
up OF the situation is as follows:
The inevitable conclusion reached by
the Argus Leader is that the insurance
department Of the state auditors office
has been run with an utter disregard Of
law.
The books are in SO mixed up a condi-
ton that nothing can be told absolutely
without tracing the original vouchers.
Both auditors have Deer taking the
public money, and have returned it only
when detected.
The books of account have been al
tered with a view to covering up failure
to account for funds.
Certificates have been issued to insur.
ance companies without record of the
fees required by law.
Insurance companies have been re-
leased from required publications as a
matter OF illicit favor.
Insurance companies have been al
lowed to enter the state on paying fees
to Mr.. Anderson, but without paying
those due the state.
The present auditor has held up the
public funds m his own possession
against the law and without excuse.
With the full knowledge of both au-
ditors, Anderson has been extorting
illegal fees from insurance companies
and duplicating his expense accounts.
Who are the guilty? There is no
getting away from the fact that both
Mayhem aud Nipple are guilty Of N. l.
feasance in Office, OF embezzlement from
the state.

Water Five Cents q Quart.

OsCEoLA, Ark, Oct. Sowing to the
long continued drought in this vicinity
wells and springs have gone entirely
dry and the people now are compelled
to buy water for drinking purposes.
Water sells readily at 5 cents per quart,
and the demand greatly exceeds the
supply.

that statute-even though the doubt is
raised by the decision in Robert Robertson

bill introduced into the Senate or House re-
pealng the statute, and that bill should be
referred to the Judiciary committee and not
10 the committee commerce.
