Andrews May be in Honolulu.

creditors in Carson Valley are seek

in possession of evidence that bore
out most strongly this belief. The
police say that before he left on the
evening Of the 22d that Andrews told
several women with whom he had
been associated that he was going

to accompany him tC Honolulu. This

A sERIOUs CHARGE.

The following editorial with the above
heading, appeared in the Ottawa Herald
last night before it's editor had seen
the testimony printed in last nights
State Journal, proving the fact of the
embezzlement:
"A new and sensational feature in
connection with the agitation of the
sprung by the Topeka State Journal
last night in the charge that State
Treasurer Kelly furnished the money
out of the state treasury to buy the
original bonds from the eastern owners,
before they were refunded and sold to
the state school fund. The State Jour-
nal does not make this charge by in
ference or by mere suggestion. 1t states
ed in the manner specified, by State
Treasurer Kelly.
Republicans, regardless of what may
have been their previous views with
reference to the state treasurer, will be
slow to believe this charge, until the
proof is submitted, and will confidently
expect that Mr.. Kelly will vindicate
himself from the accusation. The
kind that any placing of state moneys
in private hands is made to constitute
embezzlement, while to invest state
funds in the manner charged by the
state Journal would be the most flag
rant violation not only of the law but
of public trust.
1T may be hoped that the State
Journals charges in this case are not
true, but if they are not true the pub
Usher of the State Journal should be
made to answer for libel at once. The
charges in connection with the school
fund case were bad enough before;
they are made doubly bad by this di-
rect and positive accusation of crime
against the state treasurer.
1T is not enough to say that the
State Journal is fighting the ticket, or
that fractional prejudice or personal
malice are showing up in the cam
paign. A man is either an embezzler
or he is not. When a state officer and
a party candidate is publicly branded
as an embezzler by a newspaper which
is responsible for any judgment obtain
ed against it, there can be but one
course open. If the charges are not
true the newspaper should be made to
eat its words and pay dearly for what
it has said. The party will expect
nothing less in this case

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION

At the meeting of the city council
Monday night that body will doubtless
instruct the city attorney to appeal to
the United States court for an order
on the receiver of the Topeka Water
company to give better water service
for fire protection in Topeka.
The water company will undoubtedly
claim that it is now, and has for a long
time past, been giving adequate pres
sure for fire fighting. The next thing
will be for the court to appoint some
expert to investigate and find out wheth-
er the service is what the contract be-
tween the water company and the city
calls for. This is a good move. The
city is entitled to what it's contract
specifies.
This talk about refusing to buy the
plant for 100000 because it is not in as
good condition as it was when the city
agreed to purchase, is a pretty thin
proposition. Aside from the one fact
that short piece of the main is now
on low trestle instead of in the ground
is about the only thing that is apparent
ly different from the time when the peo-
pie voted to buy the plant The water
company can prove without much trou-
BILE that it is giving as high pressure for
ton took place. 1t would be hard for
the city to go into court and snow
that the plant is defective as a result of
the food.
Very likely IT is true that the plant
is not big enough for Topeka, but that
is something which was Just as we'll
known at the time of the election
as it is now. The city bought it with
the full knowledge that 1t would have
to be extended and improved. The
water company itself would be very
glad to make these necessary extern
sions and improvements in exchange
for renewal of its franchise. The
fact that the plant is not big enough
can not now be used as a reason for
not carrying out the will of the ma
jority of the people of Topeka.
On paper it can be shown that the
city would save a great deal of money
by repudiating it's deal with the water
company, and building a new plant of
it's own. But when it comes right
down to the practical side of the case,
it would probably cost the city great
deal more to get rid of the old water
company by fight than by purchase |
1t would be very difficult for the city
to even sell any bonds to build plant |
of its own so long as the present COM
pany is doing business here.
The city is paying a big price for
the water plant when it pays $780,
900, but after all, it is about the only |
way left for the city to acquire pos
session of the plant, and the deal |
should be carried through in spite of |
the efforts of a few croakers in the |
council to sidetrack it and start a |
stampede in the other direction.

told that a cut of Mr.. Douglass eager
and benevolent visage was once pasted
on an envelope to test the information

reached Brockton as fast as an ex-

Mr.. Douglas believes in advertising.
Douglas, born in 1854, was left an
orphan at the age of 5, and at was
bound out to his uncle, a shoemaker.
For several years he had to stand on
a box to reach his bench. and he
worked more than eight hours a day.
He was 81 before he got his real start
in life. As a workman and afterward
foreman in a shoe shop, he had saved
1915, and began to manufacture
shoes himself in one room, where he
employed five men. His product for
some time was forty-five pairs a day.
Mr.. Douglas continued to work more
than eight hours. never less than ten,
and often fifteen. So he prospered
and became Independent and finally
