The Frankfort statesmen were dis
Greet enough not to remind Auditor
Coulter about those unpaid checks nm
til after election. IL is hardly possible
that the same alleged "gross irregular
tiles" exposed now were not. or could
not have been, discovered months ago.
1t would not have done, however, to
how the thing mp and antagonize the
Coulter forces until after the election.
There is a probability that the affair
is not yet ended however. A Frank
fort dispatch says: Coulter goes out
of Office January /, but it is said that
there is plenty of time between now
and then to get up some pretty warm
stuff about the conduct Of things at
Frankfort, in which the late adjutant
general may take hand and in which
campaign funds, and other interesting
things may be mentioned. The peo-
pie OF the state will doubtless say,
LET 'er come" Nothing will sur
prise them.

sLANDERING THE RICH.

This man, looked on as the most
successful in this country, is, in the
last analysis. a gambler or highway
robber He is not even a creator of
money, much less of manhood, but q
bandit who has held mp the public for
millions. -
This statement, was applied to John
d. Rockefellsr by Chicago minister.
Some people seem to take Mr.. John
ID. Rookefellsfs prosperity too hard.
They accuse him of robbery, and he is
no doubt guilty because he has devei-
oped the oil industry in this country
until it pays hin handsomely. 1t is
