kept silent during the campaign Kelly
could not have been elected. but they
promised a ''non-factional' investiga-
ton as soon as Hoch should become
governor, and the people had suffl-
cient confidence in Hoch to re-elect
Kelly, believing he would be imme
diately turned out and Republican
appointed to succeed him.
For these reasons Governor Hoch
is not now receiving as much SYM
pathy in his troubles as he would re-
ceive had he not been personally re-
sponsible for twice pulling Kelly
through. Since then has come his
delay in starting his ''non-factionar'
investigation and his neglect to make
the monthly examinations of the
treasury.
At the same time the State Journal,
and doubtless every other paper in the
state that believes in enforcing the
laws and Furnishing criminals, is
anxious to uphold Governor Hoch if
he will show a disposition to profit
by his past mistakes and will make
some move towards Furnishing Kelly,
Governor Hoch has gained the enmity'
of Kelly, Dayhoff and others of that
gang, but so far as actual results are
concerned he has not yet made
good" and the prospect does not seem
very fiattering that he will do so.

A DILEMMA.

The Herald is in trouble. If it could
find out which side of the present
treasury scandal is the least repre-
hensible it would like to stand by that
side. Some days when we think of
the weak and hesitating policy of
Governor Hoch in reference to the
subject we feel like standing by T. T.
Kelly. Then when We think of the
fact that Kelly has been keeping, con-
trary to law, over 100000 of the
states money in the First National
bank, and that the money was lost
our sympathies flop back to Governor
Hoch; then when we hear the gov
ernor saying that the law which
made it his duty to examine the treas
ury once a month to determine how
the money of the people is being safe
guarded, is d farce, We find ourselves
slipping over to the Kelly side again.
mongrels as Joel R. Burrow and I. L.
Dayhoff attacking Hoch and trying to
gain a little political capital for them
selves out of the misfortunes of the
state we're back again on Hoch'S side,
and then when we reflect that through
criminal cussedness on the one hand
and the criminal carelessness on the
other the state is in danger of losing
$547,0 900 we are inclined to come out
in the middle of the road and cry out
with mighty voice for Stubbs, the
reformer, who saved US once and who
gave US this Splendid business ad-
ministration,' to come and save us
again.-Ottawa Herald.
It is lamentable that Governor
Hoch did not have the backbone to
refuse to stand for Kelly during his
campaign for the nomination for gov
ernor instead of aiding Kelly's re-
nomination by going into Miami coun-
ty and helping Kelly's rump conven-
ton to put up delegation to the state
convention which was seated over the
regularly elected delegation.
Mr.. Hoch cannot plead ignorance
of the affair, because it was explained
to him by the writer of these lines a
few days prior to his visit to Miami
county. Mr.. Hoch pleaded that his
committee had billed him to go there
and he must do it.
"Then while you are in Paola will
you not take a half hours time and
go over to the court house and look
for yourself at the records Kelly left
as county clerk, on the strength of
which the county commissioners made
him pay back over $1,000 into the
county treasury?'' Mr.. Hoch was
asked.
ST am engaged in a great fight for
reform in politics. replied Mr.. Hoch,
and cannot and Will not be side
tracked by such side issues as this
Kelly matter
The great fight for reform in poll
tics,'' to which Mr.. Hoch referred was
to accomplish the defeat of Governor
Bailey. Tom Kelly was one of Hoch's
accomplices in accomplishing that
end. Yet it really looked to the State
Journal then, and it does now, as
though the election of an honest man
for state treasurer was quite as inn
portant as the great reform in
which Mr.. Hoch was then engaged.
/ Had it not been for the interven-
ton of Hoch and Stubbs, Kelly would
not have been renominated at wich-
ita. During the campaign had not

THAT Two THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The more one finds out about T. T.
Kelly the more one discovers viola
tions of the law. 1t was pointed out
in the State Journal a few days ago
that Kelly had drawn the two thou
sand dollars appropriated by the legis-
lature to pay for surety bond, if
such bond were given, under the
new depository law, to reimburse him
self for the bond he gave last Janu-
ary. Kelly has been saying that at
least portion of his new bond would
be a surety bond, and it was antici-
pated that he would contend that his
use of the two thousand dollars would
virtually apply on that, but he has
given no surety company bond.
The new depository law, under
which Kelly is now giving bond. pro-
vides that ga surety company author
lied to do business in this state may
be accepted as security on said bond;
said bond shall be subject to the ap-
proval of the executive council in
writing
The law further provides: "If a
surety company's bond is given by the
state treasurer, AS REQUIRED BY
THIS SECTION, the expense of such
bond or premium charged therefor
shall be paid by the state treasurer
out of the general revenue fund, and
there is hereby appropriated for this
purpose the sum of two thousand dol
lars, or SO much thereof as may be
necessary, for the term of the present
state treasurer"
This section provides three things to
make the use of that two thousand
dollars legal, all of which Kelly has
violated:
First, it must be "AS REQUIRED
BY THIS SECTION" The bond for
which Kelly drew the money and paid
it to himself was given under the old
law months before the depository law
was passed.
Second, the bond must be given by
surety company. Kelly's bond under
the new depository law is signed en-
tireIy by personal sureties and by no
bonding company at all. Kelly could
get no bonding company to sign it.
Third, the bonding company must
be authorized to do business in Kan.
sas. It is asserted that even the Title
Guaranty & Trust company, which
signed Kelly's old bond for half a mill
lion dollars is not authorized to do
business In Kansas: SO the appropria-
ton could not be made to apply to that
anyway.
However, Kelly is a law unto him
self. He uses the states funds in any
manner he sees fit, and nobody stops
him. When he can find no legal ex-
cuse to do SO. he does it illegally.
Kelly knows he has nothing to fear
from Attorney General Coleman. Cole
man has never done a solitary thing
to indicate that he will ever do a thing
to stop Kelly's embezzlements and
thefts On the contrary he is ex-
tremely fertile in excuses for not TAX
ing action against Kelly, and when he
can find no excuses he simply keeps
still and does noIning. 1t is not even
anticipated that he will do anything
to make Kelly pay this two thousand
dollars back into the state treasury
let alone prosecuting him criminaily
for breaking the law.

in gondola and defantly waving in
the air was an American flag which I
carried as proudly and as exuberantly
as 10-year-old boy would at a picnic

at the station and they waved and
cheered old glory We met all kinds

curious as Il lot of Americans would at

in the faces of the Italian policemen
and they seemed to enjoy it. Several
people tried to ind out from me what
| 1T all meant and in spite of the fact
that told them in good English that
this was the Fourth of July the an
niYersary of independence, they sh ook
their heads and did not 'comprehendo.'

embarrassing at times, and longed
vainly for q pack of firecra ckers or a

the train was greatly interested. We
talked in sign language and all the
Italian I knew and all the English he
knew, but to no effect. Finally I said
the word liberty and as the Italian
word is about the same, he caught on
and I could tell he was approving
'Vive I America I cried, and he took

treasury in April to reimburse himself
for a bond he gave in January before
the legislature met. The law specifical-

made to pay for a bond under the new
depository law. and it could only be
used if a surety company bond was
given. So far as is known Kelly did not
