ards Of Fort Scott aud X E. WiIcoek-
son of Oahley-reached Washington
this morning. They are at the Nor
mandie, where the other Kansas poll
ticians are stopping.
Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Richards, who
were severely bruised and shaken up
in the wreck, are resting we'll, and are
profoundly thankful that they came
out alive.
Colonel Simpson was, perhaps, the
most fortunate o2e in the party. When
the passengers changed cars at Cincin-
natl, Colonel Simpson and General ].
S. Fullerton of st. Louis, who was
killed, found that they both had Pull
man tickets for lower in the rear
car.
General Fullerton was very much
annoyed at the mistake, and when the
Pullman conductor told him that he
could give one of them berth in the
forward car, General Fullerton quickly
said that he would take it, thus leav-
ing Colonel Simpson in the rear car.
In the wreck at the Youghiogheny
river General Fullerton's car turned a
double somersault and landed in the
bottom of the river, the general being
the only one killed.
1t will be several days before Mr..
Martin and Mr.. Richards recover from
their injuries. They said tonight that
they would have to rest for day or
two to recover from the shock. Mr..
Richards back was severely sprained,
and Mr.. Martins arm was cut in two
or three places.

of politics aud placed in the hands of
board OF control composed of farm
ers. bankers and business men of
ability, whose reputation for honesty
and integrity cannot be impugned.
The purchasing power, such tempta-
ton to some men, has been tak ken
from the hands of the commissioner
and given to this board. They have
exercised it judiciously and in man.
ner to command the respect of all par
ties. The duties of the commissioner
are now exercised by the chairman Of
the board and superintendent, and the
Office of commissioner could be abol-
ished by your body. If this power is
! ever again placed in the hands of one
man, he would at once become an OBJ
ject of vituperation, misrepresentation,
abuse and slander of all the enemies
of the dispensary and every penny a.
liner, without any moral or social re.
sponsibility. The experience of the
past year should be enough to con.
vince your body Of the truth of all
that I have said and predicted, and
while I am sure that you will be ad-
vised and importuned to change this
law and return to the old system, you
will find by investigation that such
propositions come from lean and hun
pry politicians with itching palms.
You will be told that the operations
of the present board are a failure.
Judge them by their acts and results
and not by hearsay. The subjoined
comparative statement of sales to
county dispensers has been furn1shde
me by the bookkeeper and is subject
to your examination and verifcation !:
The net profit that has accrued to
the State for the past year is in round
numbers $780, 900. The next amount
accrued to the towns and counties for
the same period $l22,000, making a
total accrued profit to the State, towns
and couuties 1922 900; addin : $57 ,652..
IS unearned profit on goods in the
hands OF local dispensers first of jan
uary, 1897, swells the total of earned
and unearned profits to the State and
towns and counties for the past year
to the amount of 1919, $685.. The
net profit accruing the past admins
tration for 1S months was $110, S48 80.
Net profits for 1895. $133 467.79. Net
profits for 1896, 100000, making a
total net accrued profit to the State to
date $443,816.57. Add tothis net &C.
crued profit the outstanding unearned
profit, $57, 652.6 IS, makes total earned
and unearned profit to date of
$5O1, ,469.22. If to this sum we
add the amount of the net &C.
crued profits to the towns and coun-
ties for the years 1895 and 1896 of
1928, 121 % we have a grand total OF
earned and unearned profits to State,

amounted to $151, ,295.51. Bookkeep'
ers of experience could not cipher this
out and claims were made that the
profits were fictitious. I determined to
change the business management and
adopt full and satisfactory system
of accounting. An expert bookkeep'
er was employed and it was ascertain
ed that the profits claimed had not &C.
crued, but that the accrued profit to
that date was forty.odd thousand dol
lars less than the amount. This was
simply mistake 10 bookkeeping and
in crediting to the profit account what
had not accrued, but what was expect.
ed to have accrued in the hands OF
county dispesers. After a thorough
dissection of the accounts it was ascer:
tanned that the profits had not reached
$4,000. The entire assets, including
cash, merchandise, teams and wagons
and personal accounts amounted in
round numbers to sl9S, 900. The liza
bilities amounted in round numbers
to $4,000 The total assets being sub
sequently affected to the amount OF
Sc, 900 in final checking and adjust
ments of accounts. The liabilities were
as follows: To State appropriation,
$50, 900; to sundry persons, for liquors
$3e, 900; total Indebtedness $S6, 900;
cash on hand $45, 54S. 40 or $40, 45l. 81
less than amount necessary to liqui
date the indebtedness. This is simply
rough statement of the status of the
dispsnsary when took charge of thu
business. / am happy to state that
turned it over to my successor healthy
and in good condition and as sount
financially as any business institution
of the country. It has been taken ou

properly conducted.
There have been several shortages
in the accounts of county dispensers
and they have been invariably the re-
suit of negligence on the part OF the
county boards of control. These de.
linquent dispensers have been prompt
ly reported by me to the attorney gem
eral with instructions to prosecute,
and he has performed his duty In
manner deemed best by him. It is no
argument against this law because
forsooth an officer occasionally errs
and becomes unworthy of his position.
We might as well argue thathe
ban Ting system should be destroyed
because cashier occasionally goes
astray. There are good and honest
men, and they can be had to I'LL all these
positions. It is your duty, not only
to the dispensary law, but to the Re
form movement and to those having
its interest at heart to investigate TINS
business from its organization to the
present time. If anything wrong is
discovered let it be ventilated and
punish the guilty parties and rebuke
the slanderers. This should be done
not only with the dispensary, but
with every department of the State
government where the slightest wrong
doing is suspected. In this way alone
can your government be kept honest
and perpetuated.
