A LOOK At BOOKS.
Albaugh and White Suggest an
Accounting.
TFrom the Emporia Gazette.1

From the EnpOria Gazette.
Morton Albaugh, chairman of the
Republican state central committee be-
lieves that he should get under the
skin in this matter of corruption in
Kansas politics. In his Kingman Lead
er he very properly says:
There is a law on the statute books
providing for a state accountant and
an appropriation was made by the last
legislature for such official. His duties
are clearly outlined by law. The gov
ernor should name some competent,
reliable person for the place. Such ac-
countant should go through every office
in the state house, every institution in
the state, should check up the accounts
and the result would be the detection
of wrong-doing, if there is any, and
the fact that there was such an official
to look after such matters would lead
to the exercise of greater care in ev-
cry department of the state govern
ment.''
There is no doubt but that the people
/ of Kansas want to look at the books OF
the state administration 1t has gone on
for six years under the administration
of one party and there is no doubt but
that some office holders have got swell
ed up and think the Republican party
is going to. control for ever. Just as
soon as a coward gets an idea that he
won't be caught he becomes thief
The state house of Kansas is probably
cleaner now under Republican admin
lSIT3JlOn IMAM II Is usually II II 4AhCiS
that there are no more than three or
four thieves, but they are three too
many. The thing to do is to probe. If
1 any honest man with nerve had grand
jury and a good accountant he could
make business pick up for number of
gentlemen in Topeka, and they would
| be half machine men and half anti
machine men. There is no difference
between the factions in the matter of
personal honesty. The Burton men as
| a rule are good fellows, honest and
square. AS a rule the Long men are
decent chaps; honest and manly. But
there are thieves in both crowds and
they should be exposed. The state
house needs a general fumigation.
There is not an office in the building
that should be excepted. The account
ant should go through Albaugh' $
books Just as relentlessly as he would
go through Dayhoff's or Kelly's- The
game of 'favorites" should not beplayed.
The question is, win Governor Bailey
have the nerve to appoint the account
ant, give him full swing, no matter
where the crookedness appears and
stand by him till perdition freezes over:
Bailey can endear himself to the people
by following the example of Roosevelt

There are many familiar proverbs
whose character for truth and veracity
would not bear inspection, but which
are almost universally accepted as
self-evident truths. We do not know
how many decades or centuries the
world has thus accepted Honesty is
the best policy" and we have no idea
that our protest against it will impair
its standing. But all the same, it is
an untruthful and therefore. a disrep-
utable proverb.
Honesty is not any kind of policy,

the worst. The man who deals fairly
