en- is that it saved the state money"
by keeping these warrants from being
stamped not paid for want of funds.
The matter was kept secret until it
was brought out that felony had been
committed by keeping the money out of
the state treasury after last January.
Then the county treasurer of Lyon
county was compelled to acknowledge
that he had no receipts from State
Treasurer Kelly and to tell the reason
why. The Emporia Republican, a paper
which sympathizes with Mr.. Kelly s
faction. gives it as follows:
The Topeka State Journal and the
Emporia Gazette have been engaged in
an argument for the past week relative
to the Lyon county portion of the state
taxes. Neither of these two papers
have come anywhere near the truth of
the matter, and it is but justice to the
county commissioners, the state treas
urer, and to County Treasurer jeff Eas-
tin that the matter be laid before the
public in its true phase.
THE facts in the case are that State
tered into an agreement last Novem-
Der, whereby Lyon county's warrants as
we'll as the state warrants held by the
state normal We're taken care of by the
state taxes. This proved a means of
saving the state the loss of interest,
from stamping warrants not paid for
want of funds. as was done by the
state from early in the fall of 1903 to
January, 1904. The commissioners of
this county. State Treasurer Kelly and
County Treasurer Eastiq deserve great
credit for the manner in which this af
talr was handled. They have felt that
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-07-15


to the wrong county, but Mr.. Grimes
said it had been carried in the long"
account during those two years.
But the facts as now brought out
free Mr.. Kelly from the suspicion OF
having the Lyon county money in his
possession. The fact that suspicion
would naturally be directed towards
Mr.. Kelly in view of his past record
would naturally make him extremely
careful not to be caught in any such
manner. His only connection at pres
ent shown with the Lyon county mat
ter is his agreement" to leave the
money there. In view of the fact that
the alleged reason for SO doing is
easily exploded. what was the real
reason?
What explanation, also, can the
other six delinquent county treasurers
give for hanging on to state funds?
Did they too have agreements with
Mr.. Kelly? Perhaps the explanation
ito save the state money" will be
made in the cases of those counties
in which state institutions are located,
but how about Smith, Geary and
Bourbon counties, which have no
state institutions, and which would
have no state warrants TO cash? II
is noticeable that one of the delln-
Quent counties is Mr.. Kelly's own
county, Miami. and that another is the
home of his close friend, Secretary OF
State Burrow. The explanations 10 pc
made by these other county treasurers
will be eagerly awaited, and in the
meantime perhaps some add1tlonal
light be thrown on the way the Lyon
county agreement saved the state
money"
Under the heading, "a Few Plain
Words" Charles S. Finch makes some
very strong comments on the outconle
of the Second district. congressional
contest. After few remarks ex-
planatcry of the belief that news
paper should say what it believes edl-
torially Mr.. Finch says:
although given decision by the
supreme court, ]. D. Bowersock has
no more right or honest title TO the
nomination for congress given MN
than Grover Cleveland has Bower
sock knows this, Stubs knows it, and
Judge Barker knows it. He was
never nominated by the legal vote OF
any convention. 1t was an insult to
the manhood of the Republican vo-
tiers of the Second congressional dis
trict to place him on the ticket. This
is straight talk, but it is true talk. 1t
and almost every man admits. If Mr.
Bowersock has any regard for honor
or decency, he will refuse nom1na-
ton to which he has no right Mr..
Stubs and Judge Barker know that
his nomination was forced by the
party lash, and both know that the
proceedings were a disgrace to the
party and to the state. The chances
are that if he is forced upon the
ticket the methods and men who
brought about the condition of affairs
will be repudiated, and that Mr.. Bow
ersock will be beaten In fact, today
scarcely a man can be found who be-
lieves that Rowersock will be elected.
Nearly all of those who will vote for
him say they will do it under protest.
And even the men who have brought
about this outrage upon the ballot adj
nit that they have no equity in their
contention. You may search the brief
of Bowersock's attorneys from cover
to cover, and you will not find one
word in it in which it is claimed that

Just as State Treasurer Kelly had

that he was a party to an agreement

four years which he names averaged
$4s4,551.145, or $27,0OO,OO0 less per
year or S10S,000,000 less In the four
years than Parker talks about Why
don't he give It straight?
Immediately afterward Mr.. Parker
says in his letter that "the average
expenses OF the government during
the three subsequent years ending
June 30, 1904, were about $519, ,O0O, 900.
which is the largest sum hitherto
reached during like period since the
close Of the Civil war" This would
be mighty interesting, II true. The
trouble Is that the facts contradict It.
Even Parker admits that of the al.
legged expenses for the fiscal year Just
ended, $50,000,000 must be taken off
as Panama canal rayment and not
current expense at all. In the same
list he should have included $4,000 900

600 less each year, or 1920, 100000 less

statement. What ails him, anyway?
One other point may properly he
noted In this connection. That is that

increase In the governments expense

itary stated year of Cleveland 08S6)
which Parker singles out for praise,
Is on account of the enlarged pay
ments of pensions to the soldiers and
sailors Of the Union, their widows and
orphans. Maybe that is one reason
why Parker is so much opposed to the
Increase in expense. His long letter
OF acceptance has only one positive
promise, and that - that Parker says
that II he is elected he will revoke
Roosevelt's order for old age pensions
to the Union soldiers. Parker does
not say what he will do with the or.

| Roosevelt's precedent and justifica-
ton. To be consistent, he ought to
revoke all three OF them together.
Perhaps he would like to do away
with the pension laws and save all of
that money, since economy is greater
to him than honor or justice. or love
of country, or protection to the public
welfare.
