You Remember Correctly.

From the Holton Recorder (Rep)
If we remember correctly, when Mr..
T. T. Kelly's defalcation and forgeries
in the county clerks office in Miami
county were first discovered he was
just as confident that everything was
straight then as he is now that every
thing is all right in the state treas
urer's office. Then, as he is doing
now, he hired an expert who went
through his books an "exonerated" or
whitewashed him. Yet all the same,
when the three county commissioners
employed experts who did the job
without whitewash, Mr.. Kelly prompt
ly returned the $1,000 he had stolen.
He has already returned over two
thousand dollars to the state treasury,
which the state would never have re-
ceived If the investigation had not
been started. The Recorder hopes
that if Attorney General Coleman per-
sists in his refusal to do his plain duty
in prosecuting Kelly criminally and
suing him on his bond that Governor
Bailey will find authority to employ
counsel who will commence proceed

Renloves KelIn,s Name.

From the Solomon Tribune (Rep.).
When we took charge of the Tribune
last July and placed the Republican
ticket at the head of the editorial page
we included the name of 7. T. Kelly
as our candidate for state treasurer,
trusting he would be able to disprove
the charges that had been placed
against him. 1t is now less than one
week until election and instead. of ap-
pearing in a better light Mr.. Kelly is
getting deeper into the mire all the
time. If we had any prejudice in the
matter it was in Kelly's favor, but We
must admit that it now looks as if all
the charges of dishonesty, corruption,
skulduggery, embezzlement and theft
that have been made against him are
true. For this reason we have remov-
ed his name from our ticket and next
we shall vote against him just
as hard as we know how.

Ought 70 Be Prosecuted.

From the HOltOn RECORDER (Rep.)
The Scott county case ought to
have been sufficient to have prevented
the school fund commissioners invest
that kind of securities. Comanche
county is but little if any better than
Scott. Considering the population.
wealth and productions of the two
counties, Scott is much ADLER to pay
the interest on $4,000 than Comanche
is on $123,00O. In fact, we have an
idea that while Comanche may have
two or three hundred more population
than Scott, the latter is really the bet
ter county of the two. 1t is the judg-
ment of the Recorder that a board of
school fund commissioners that would
invest the school fund in the bonds of
either ought to be prosecuted for a
breach of trust.

Malignant Growths.

From the Holton Recorder (Rep).
The body polite in Kansas is suffer-
ing from two malignant growths, one
of them is Kelly and the other is Bur-
ton. They have been eating into and
sapping the moral as well as the ma
terial we'll being of the state. Doctor
Capper seems to have finally, but re-
luctantly, arrived at the conclusion
that it will be all right to remove the
excrescences, but that it would be not
only the NOSE inexcusable malpractice
but treason to interfere with the roots
of the disease or attempt to strike at
the cause. 1t may be from the Capitals
standpoint look consistent and all right
to beat Kelly, and elect the gang who
are responsible for both Kelly and Bur-
ton, some of whom are as deep in the
mud of official corruption as Kelly and
Burton are in the mire; but to people
in this county it looks altogethNr diff
ferent.

The only excuse Mr.. Dayton gives

he has nothing to do with the tax
