Womans Foreign Missionary society

closed its twenty-first annual meeting
in the Washington Avenue Methodist
Episcopal church last evening with a
mass meeting for young people. About
500 young people attended. Next year
the annual meeting will be held in St.

Plans to aid missionaries in foreign
lands by means of Christmas and
birthday offerings were adopted yes

York spoke yesterday afternoon on
Educating Missionaries" She said
that many who were the most anxious
to become missionaries were found
after they had entered the school to be
lacking in some necessary qualifica-
tons. In this way the school was of
great benefit in preventing many who
would otherwise land on foreign shores
only to find they had made a mistake.
The morning session was devoted to
a discussion of the work of the Kings

SOME COMMEN
What the Papers Are Saying About
Kelly and Colemena.
Topeka Capital Threw KeIly.

Abilene Chronicle: Before Thomas
Kelly was elected state tre-%4rer he
was accused OF dishonesty in public al
fairs in his own county and he paid
back some money to his county. Ever
since he has been before the public he
has been charged with being crooked,
and his honesty as state treasurer is
now being seriously questioned. 1t APP
pears that through a bond deal the
state has lost over a thousand dollars
ana the indications are thS Mr.. Kelly
knows or at least should know where
this money is. The Republican party
and press has believed Kelly innocent
and has attempted to defend him to
the extent of seeing him treated fairly;
but to show that he is clean and hon.
est seems to be an impossible task.
When a paper like the Topeka Capital
gives up the task it certainly means
much. That the Capital is tired of the
defense is shown by this editorial from
a recent issue:
knowing that the investigation of
the treasury sprung in the midst of
a state campaign was designed and
timed to injure State Treasurer Kelly,
the Capital has been unwilling to see
him condemned without direct and I'M
mistake bic evidence. We have hoped
that the discrepancies might be ex-
planned in a way to relieve him of the
guilt that was freely charged upon him.
On the face of it. the charge that Kelly
stole 81 so. unaccounted for during
his administration, seemed I'M
reasonable because of cAe fact that the
coupons stolen were not stamped state
property and consequently were pre-
sumably off the bonds prior to the time
the bonds were delivered to the treas
ury from the auditors office Under
such circumstances il did not appear
how the treasurer could have taken
them
But the circumstances that seemed
to favor the innocence of the state
treasurer are entirely upset tW direct
proof now produced by Mr.. Rowctt
that it was Kelly who sent the cou-
pons on for collection and got the mon
ey. In the face of this plain evidence
nothing remains to be said. There is
but one possible escape for State
Treasurer Kelly, and that is to show
that he paid this money over to some
other person sending in the coupons
for collection, and to produce this other
person."

voters Regard 1t Seriously.

Atchison Globe: The investigation of
state affairs is becoming very serious.
In a signed statement purporting to
give history of the purchase of the
Garden City bonds by the state school
fund commission early in January, 1903,
the state treasurer, Thomas I. Kelly
GODDARD, George A. Clark and Frank
Nelson, who at that time composed the
commission.
Keny's statement sounds like a his
tory of the Comanche county deal. The
objections he urges against the Garden
City purchase are the objections urged
by the Topeka Journal against the Co
manche county bond deal.
This is very serious matter; voters
can no longer regard it as politics -
Kelly says he had nothing to do with
the Garden City deal. This isn't true.
When the state accountant discovered
that this money was missing from the
state treasury, Kelly stated that he
knew nothing about it, A few days
after the defalcation was called to his
attention. the missing money was cred
tied on the cash book. Being question
ed, Kelly stated that mysterious per-
son signing himself "A. R. Brown" had
sent the money in, for credit, after 1t
had been missing year. The state
accountant went to New YORK, ana
found that Kelly had personally re-
ceived the money, and personally re-
ceipted for it. There is no sort of
question that Kelly sent the money TO
himself, after the discovery of the
shortage was made by the state &C
countant- That Kelly is the fictitious
"A r. Brown" there is no doubt.
This Garden City shortage is only one
In two cases. the shortages We're made
good by Kelly. Unquestioned shortages
in the state treasury exist today. 1t Is
limited around Topeka and the source
seems to be excellent, that the short
ages in sight amount to $4,000. And
only twelve out of one hundred and five
counties have been examined.
kelly's assistant has resigned; Kelly
himself has resigned, "in escrow" which
means that he asks the people to re-
elect him. and afterwards let his friends
him. a proceeding similar to
a criminal refusing to accept the hnd-
ing of a grand jury until 1t has been
confirmed by his hackers, abondSmen
and supporters.
Kelly first attacked Governor Bailey,
known to be an honest and worthy
man. Now he has attacked three Off
Gals in a former state administration.
Kelly wants to be Investigated by E.
w. Hoch, after he (Hoch) is elected
governor. Hoch is responsible for
Kelly's denomination, in the face of the
protest of thousands of honest Republ1-
cans. Hoch not only demanded the re-
of Kelly, but the defeat of
Governor Bailey. If Kelly is guilty, the
not Hoch be entirely too lenient with
Kelly, in case he (Hoch) conducted the
investigation?
The state accountant is a state Off
GER regularly appointed and paid by
the state. No one questions his abil-
Ity or honesty. He is not latter"
Kelly; he is making an impartial in
vestigation of state finances. Kelly is
not the only official who has been
Is not the report of the
state accountant more worthy of Gre
1ence than an investigation conducted
by Kellys hackers, bondsmen and
friends?
