ADMITS IT WAS WRONG.
The Governor Says he Would not Have
Authorized the Junketting Trip.

We printed last Sunday a strong and
vigorous editorial criticizing the Governor
and the State Treasurer for paying out
$3.50 for junketting trip to the inaugur-
alton for the Adjutant General and
members of his staff The Citizen point
ed out that there was law authorizing
such an expenditure, and rlddled the
claim that the money expended at the
Worlds Fair was a precedent, by show
ing that the Governor was at Chicago
is pursuance to legislative act to make
an exhibit, while the Governor in 1897
was not even at the Inauguration and
therefore could have no need for a staff
there.
In yesterdays Citizen we find letter
which, while seeking to Justify the Gov
ernOrs course, is Il virtual admission
that the Citizens criticism was just. At
any rate it drew blood. The letter is
as follows:
Raleigh, n c., March 30, 1S9.
Editor The Citzen:-The Governor
directs me to say that he has carefully
noticed your criticisms upon the pay
ment of some three hundred and fifty
dollars for the expenses of his military
staff in attending the late Presidential
Inauguration.
1t seems that the staff were detailed
by the Adjutant General and assigned to
the duty of representing the State at the
Inauguration. and that the authority for
this was in the precedent established in
1899, when one thousand or eleven hun
dred dollars were paid out of the Treas
ury for the expenses of the Governors
staff in attending the Worlds Fair at
Chicago.
The attempt to distinguish that case
from this is far-fetched and exceedingly
attenuated. 1t is just as important that
the State should be represented at the
one ceremonial as the other; and there
was just as much authority in law for
paying the expenses of the staff at the
one as at the other. But the Governor
is disposed to admit that neither of them
ought to have been paid. If his atten-
ton had been called to it before the staff
subjected themselves to the expense he
would not have sanctioned its payment.
To this extent, he is disposed to admit
the force and justice of your criticism.
Major Hayes of the United States
army, has always contended that the
statute authorizes formal detail of
staff officers to represent the State on
occasions like these, and perhaps he is
right / have the honor to be, very res
pcctfully yours,
JOE f. ALEXANDER,
Private Secretary.
