Any responsibility, that may exist
for the failure of the charter commits
sion to give needed relief to the several
city departments in the shape of
amendments to the st. Paul constitu-
ton must be shouldered by the COM
mission itself
AT the special meeting Of the two
council bodies called last night to con-
slider the situation the assembly was
dumb to the commissions entreaty for
help, while the board of aldermen half
heartily responded in the passage of a
resolution of coincidence and refusal to
call a special election because 1T was
not sanctioned by the legal depart
ment.
The meeting Of the board and assem-
bly, was called at the instance of the
charter commission, which said it de-
sired something tangible with which it
might go before the legislature and
seek relief in the shape of revision of
the enabling act. 1t also asked for a
decisive opinion from the legal depart
ment.
Assembly Is Apathetic.
When the two bodies met the opinion,
the work of Corporation Attorney
Markham, was on hand. 1t was in
substance the same as his former
opinion, yet more brief, and held that
the only possible time when amend
ments could be considered was at a
regular city election. AS for a special
election, he held that such would not
be valid for amendments, unless called
for the filing of a vacancy or other
matters recognized by the statutes
The assembly, which was the first to
meet, received the opinion in dignified
silence and after hearing from Presi-

dent Doran, Of the charter commission,
as to the situation, adjourned and or
dered it placed on file. When the
board of aldermen met e. c. Stringer,
of the charter commission, addressed
the members and on his plea a reSolu-
ton refusing to call special election
was given passage. He insisted that the
commission was not attempting to I'M
load any responsibility, but rather to
place itself on footing that would
permit it to seek the relief needed at
the next session Of the legislature.
The resolution will come before the
assembly at it's meeting next Thursday,
but there is some doubt of it's passage.
Some of the members seem to be under
the impression that the charter COM
mission desires to unload it's troubles
on the council and they say they will
not vote for it.
No Relief for Two Years.
AS matters now stand the city finds
itself in an embarrassing condition.
Should big fire result and the ciity's
fire apparatus be wiped out of exist
ence or any other calamity that the i'm
agination can conjure result the city's
hands would be tied. Not a cent of
specified by the present city charter
could be raised and that, as a rule, only
for maintenance. The next city cleo
ton is two years distant and no relief
can be had in the meantime.
A year ago an effort was made to
have the commission prepare amend
ments so as to be in readiness for the
late city election, but the commission
refused, desiring to wait until the fall
election in order that changes might
be made to the enabling act. These
changes were made, but they do not
seem adequate.

KELLY HANGS ON

The Republican state convention viii
be held at Wichita next Wednesday.
Up to this writing Thomas T. Kelly, a
candidate for state treasurer, is not
formally out of the race. It is under
stood he has made several agreements
to withdraw, but none of them has as
yet come to light
It is certainly very strange, in view
of the unanimous findings of the Miami
county board of commissioners, that
Mr.. Kelly has any support for the
Office. Only day or two ago a reso-
luton was put through the Johnson
county Republican convention endors-
ing him. It does not matter how
deeply a person may be involved in
questionable transactions, there are al
ways some people to stand by him.
This is one Of the beauties of friendship.
But why any set of Republicans
should wish to name a man for the
sacred Office of state treasurer who has
just been found guilty of a shortage of
s1,S24 in his accounts is beyond eompre-
hension.
It may be conceded that Mr.. Kelly
is a good fellow. a pleasant gentleman,
and all that; but does the state Of Kan
sas wish its funds handled by a man
against whom the beard of county COM
missioners Of Miami county has recent
" returned a formal Indictment for
gross shortage and financial offenses.
This is merely a plain statement of
facts. and the findings Of the board have
been published broadcast in many news
papers. There are some organs which
are now running biographical sketches
Of Mr.. Kelly without any reference
whatever to the recent exposure Of the
defaleation. Little matters of this kind
may not be important to the organs. but
inasmuch as the public is looking to the
newspapers, it will be found important
at the time of the convention or at the
polls in November.
The news comes today that even some
of Nj. Kelly's friends who were on tbs
Miami county delegation to support him
/ cannot stand under the commissioners
/ report and have accordingly resigned
I from the delegation. One of these is
none other than the present county
clerk. Mr.. L. Flanagan, who signed his
name as attest to the report Of the
board finding Mr.. Kelly guilty. Mr..
Kelly has taken Mr.. Flanagans place
on the delegation.
A number Of the friends of Mr.. Kelly
are so bold that they are even willing t6
admit that he was guilty of these sir
/ Irregularities" but they say he SHOULD
not be ''perseeuted'' now for what h'
/ did years ago. There are many PEG
/ pie suffering today for past errors wh'
| have reformed and would be glad to b.
| restored to offices of trust. There al
many voeatons open to all people whit
have reformed. But so far as the stat
treasurer's office is concerned, is it no
better to take man for that office wh
has a clean record? If the Republican
party is willing to nominate a man wit
an unfortunate record, the opposition
