aid would say that the situation was
as it should be. 1t is, however, bold
ly asserted that in the most import
ant award made, that of the readers,
the superior books offered by Kansas
publishers were rejected in favor OF
Appleton's out of date readers, manu-
factured by the American Book Com
pany, and that improper methods
were used to secure this adoption.
sThe Herald does not make any
charges. 1t simply points out the fact
that they are made by others and that
circumstances seem to give them more
or less weight. Ii it can be shown
that the readers adopted are back
numbers, as charged, there is still
one way to prevent the preparation
of such an outrage on the people OF
the state. This contract can not be
with the American Book
Company until the Charter Board has
passed upon it's right to do business
in Kansas under the Bush law. The
board should never grant this right
until an investigation of the charge
proves it to be untrue.
The later papers say State Super
intendent Nelson fought the American
Book Company on the Appleton
readers, together with Senator Shell
don and Edwin Taylor. Also that
the commission finally agreed to ap-
point committee consisting of Mel
son, Bear and Carney to revise the
readers in some weak spots.

Announcement.
Official Corruption.


Notwithstanding the near approach
of several state conventions the one
subject of interest among the politl-
clans is the recent report of the county
commissi oners of Miami county after
examining the county clerks records
of 7. Il. Kelly, who now holds the re-
sponsible position of assistant treas
urer of this state. Ten year ago
Kelly was county clerk and when he
turned his office over to his successor
his accounts were supposed to be all
right During the last few years
rumors have been circulating to the
effect that an examination Of his
books would show that he had de-
frauded the county. Kelly is can
didate to succeed Grimes as state
treasurer and it was necessary to dis
pose of these rumors in order that his
nomina att on might be possible, so he
posted $1,000 with the county commits
sioners to cover any shortage and
demanded that full investigation be
made. The commissioners took ten
days to the work and then reported
that Kelly had raised vouchers and
duplicated accounts SO that he had
taken from the county funds more
than 81, 300 which did not belong to
him by law. In order to let Kelly
down easy they say that the trouble
arose from his ineXperience and lack
of ability. This looks little queer
when the findings are that vouchers
were raised and that accounts were
paid in duplicate. If the findings OF
the commissioners are correct Kelly
should be in the penitentiary today
instead of holding the most respon-
sible place under the state admins
tration. Kelly says he is being per-
secuted by political enemies in his
own party and that he proposes to
fight it out and still be a candid ate
for state treasurer. He just thinks he
will. His party will not allow his
nomination with this stigma hanging
over him. Grimes comes out with a
statement of confidence, but that will
hardly satisfy Kelly's bondsmen, who.
knowing that he has the handling OF
millions of money, will naturally be-
gin to get uneasy. The people of this
state will be likely to give the presen,
administration vote of lack of con-
fidence if this thing keeps on 81, ,2OC
stolen from the funds of the peniten.
tiary and no one prosecuted, the
assistant state treasurer short IS
county clerk and no prosecuti on,
Grimes vote Of confidence in his
assistant. Where is this to end:
Have the people confidence in Mr..
Grimes? 1t is not forgotten that two
years ago Mr.. Grimes was himself on
the rack charged with farming out the
state funds and was hauled into court
where the prosecution failed to make
case although it was generally be-
lieved that the charge was true. Mr.
Kelly's record and Mr.. Grimes con
fidence. in him lead to natura
inquiry regarding the state funds ane
the people begin to wonder if the stat,
is being worked on the same plan a.
was Miami county. Mems confidence
is never so rudely or quickly shaker
as when their pocketbooks are il
danger.

Alliance Cemetery Case

CITIZENS BACK URIC
In His Fight Against the Trus'

Case of Revenue
Only.

The case of the Alliance Cemetery
association against Joseph A. Urig was
on trial in court room No. Monday
afternoon. 1t Is case that Is attract
ing a geat deal of interest in the east
end city, as hundred or more citl
zens are directly interested.
Urg Is florist and claims that he
has been hired by a hundred or more
people who have relatives buried In
the Alliance cemetery to care for the
graves. His duties are to furnish
flowers. cut the grass and shape up the
mounds, and do all that Is done by
the relatives themselves.
The cemetery association attempted
to compel him to discontinue such
work, but he persisted. 1t Is claim
ed by the association that according
to its rules, no one but the sexton had
any right to place flowers or work
about the graves. A temporary injunc-
tion was granted to stop Urig, and the
case was argued upon its merits Mon
day afternoon.
The citizens claim that they cannot
place flowers upon the grave of a
relative without the consent of the
trustees, and that they cannot even
send hired man or agent to do any
work for them. They allege that IL
is all question of revenue with the
trustees, and these citizens who have
employed Urig are back of him in the
case.
