Som people have been wondering for
quite . while how it was possible for
Governor Holcomb to 80 it in the line
Of his duty as chief executive to call
upon Oil Inspector Edmisten to turn
hack into the state treasury the amount
he hes received Tor railroad fare, when
he himself has been using railroad
mileage that cost him nothing in the
getting. But it seems that he eases his
own conscience by the thought that the
governors salary does not include mill
cage and expenses. II reminds Of DR..
Franklin's general principle laid down
after he changed his practice from an
eater OF fruit and vegetables, to include
that Of flesh also. His hankering for
meat had doubtless whet his power OF
logical reasoning, because when he saw
that big fish eat mp little ones, imme-
diately came the suggestion that this
was natures way and therefore seemed
right The principle hit upon came after
cool rejection, and = worded after this
fashion: "How conveuisat il u for man
