A LESSON UNLEARNED.

When will the people of Kansas
learn to handle its enormous financial
interests in a conservative, careful and
conscientious manner; indeed, in
plain, commonsense, business manner.
affecting the great educational, charir-
able and official institutions of the
state?
The State Journal has pointed out
again and again the carelessness.
laxity and the dishonesty shown in the
handling of the school fund, and other
moneys, belonging to Kansas. 1t has
shown that she has elected an en-
bezzler OF take charge of the funds.
There has been for many months of
fetal testimony of this in the hands
of the governor and attorney general
For nearly a year evidence of the
state treasurer's shortcomings and
shortages have been on file in the gov
ernor's office and yet nothing has been
done to recover the money or punish
the culprit-
The official report of a careful ac-
countant reposes, dust laden, in an
executive pigeonhole.
Months ago the State Journal pre-
sented undisputed testimony that
s123,000 of the states funds had been
used by State Treasurer Kelly to
finance the notorious Comanche
county bond deal.
Now it develops that the state
treasurer had s547,0O0, over a half
million dollars, on deposit in the
weakest bank in Topeka, contrary to
law, morals and common business
sense. The bank has collapsed and
over half of the cash of Kansas is
thus in suspense.
Think of the iniquity of it! The state
treaSurer's only bondsman outside of a
rather obscure surety company in Penn
sylvania, is c. J. Devlin, a bondsman
who qualified for $500, 900. Mr.. Kelly. in
stead of safeguarding this money in
the state treasury where it belonged.
and where the law said it should be
kept, loaned over half million dollars
to Mr.. Devlins bank and Mr.. Devlin
borrows every dollar of it for his own
commercial uses.
How much longer will Kansas be a
party to such frenzied finance as we
have seen in state affairs during the
past few years, eliminating with yester-
days collapse of a bank with most of
the states money?
The state treasurer impudently says
of the s547.O0O of the states money
in the COLLAPSED bank; ct was there
in the process of collection, simply in
the usual course of business
Great Scott does it take over three
months to collect the states drafts ?
Ordinary business men collect their
drafts and checks in ten days.
Few states would stand this sort of
business. The state treasurer of Kan
sas ought to be fired out of Office at
once and an honest man appointed.

sight of the reason why we celebrate,
but we do it just the same.

a, fuss about the noise and commotion
of the Fourth of July, but down deep
in our hearts we enjoy it notwithstand-

der nerves. It's the American way.
The real American must always feel
enthusiastic during the early days of
July, eliminating in an outburst of
patriotism and noise on the Fourth.
But to go back to the beginning:
This is a different country from what
it was one hundred and twenty-nine
years ago when the continental con-

really didn't amount to much at that
time as a people, but we were strong
enough to whip the mother country.
We had the strength of youth, COM
bined with that which comes from
right living and high ideals.
Today we are still young. But how
different we are from century ago.
Then we were only a handful of peo-
pie. scattered along the Atlantic sea-
board, with a broad. unconquered

the mightiest of earth's nations-a
