In these days and times many are the
unsupported people who are falling vic
tins TO patriotism. For instance, as the
man who delights to argue says, there is
Toney Stemsdorf, an old acquaintance or
the Richmond police, and so much OF his
time out with the city and in with Ser
eeant Epps at the city JAIL. has volunteer
ed to fight for that city, and pour out ms
last drop Of blood on the altar OF his
country. Mirabile dictu, Toney was out
of iail when the Governor called for
troops. and he could go. But his dear
friend, Charlie Rosser, was not and Is
not. So yesterday morning Toney, ar
rayed In his noble suit OF blue cailea On
Justice Crutchfeld. and, making an elo-
ouent and patriotic address, declared that
Charlie wanted TO die for his country.
TOO: that Charlie and he had dreamed all
their lives of this. In the lines or the
poet "Dulce est pro patria mort and
would not his Honor let Charlie out OF
TAIL TOO TO 90?

HIDING THEIR hooks.
Franklin County Officers Called ON to
Explain Extravaganza.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LAUREL, Ind, March 14.-Flora & Brod-
dus, a Connersvill law firm, has been en-
ployed to bring mandate proceedings at
once against Auditor King and Treasurer
Brokman, Of this county, compelling them
to surrender their books for inspection by
experts. Some very serious charges have
been made, week after week, lin the Laurel
Review, against Thomas Brown, commits
sioner, and other officials. These charges
were based en- entries in the county records
and on the published reports Of allowances.
The failure to deny these charges other
than by personal abuse OF the editor made it
possible to raise large fund with which
to employ experts. About one-third of this
fund has been subscribed by Democrats.
Now that the officials refuse to let the books
be seen, the feeling is intense, and almost
general, that something must be wrong.
For fully fifty years the Democrats have
had undiSputed sway in this county, and
though number of county treasurers have
defaulted, there has, never been an investi
CATION of the records. The average taxation
is $1.54 on each $100-8 cents higher than the
State average, though the county does not
owe dollar, and has not been in debt for
years. There is but little done in the way
of Improvement. All but a few of the roads
are in a wretched condition during bad
weather The prices paid for bridges are
extremely high as compared with some
other counties and favoritism is openly
shown in letting contracts In this Oaurep
township there is a lucent poor tax and
but six months, school. More than % per
cent. of the school fund interest was al
lowed to lapse last year, and the deficit,
amounting to $1,756 was taken from the
general fund. The commissioners have
been, according to their published reports,
drawing two days pay each month for
auditing trustee warrants, when the late
law plainly says they are entitled to but
one days pay. But this is only one item
in many that look queer.
