A PARALLEL.

Did you ever hear of the Kansas
county attorney who sued a thief's
friends for the return of stolen proper
ty. but who forgot to prosecute the
thief?
The thief, you remember, robbed the
county treasury. He was caught in the
act, but the money was gone. But he
was a friend of the county attorney.
and SO the county attorney couldn't
see any way to prosecute him.
There was a big fuss made about the
matter, though, and something had to
be done. Tt happened that the thief
had given a bond that he wouldn't
steal. Half of the bond had turned
out worthless, and there was consider
able question about the other half, but
the county attorney, with a great
flourish. sued the doubtful bondsman
to compel him to make good the loss.
In the petition against the Theirs
bondsman the county attorney set
forth all the circumstances of the rob-
berry, who the thief was, and just how
the robbery occurred. He alleged that
it was committed in violation of law,
and for that reason he asked that the
thief's bondsman pay up.
But the thief was his personal friend
with whom he was mixed up in politics
and in a questionable bond transaction,
so that whenever it was suggested that
he prosecute the thief he maintained
a silence SO oppressive that it could be
heard throughout the length and
breadth of the county; or, if pressed
too hard. he assumed an air of injured
innocence and vigorously asserted that
he was Eat all times ready to do his
duty But he never got any further
than being ready.
Didn't you ever hear that story?
Well, perhaps you haven't. On second
thought, perhaps it was an attorney
general instead of a county attorney
who was the official in the story. Come
to think of it, it was the state treasury
that was robbed. Two months after
the facts came to light the attorney
general brought suit to recover the
money, but for some reason or other
of course it was not because of any
personal friendship for the thief-he
could not find any way to prosecute the
thief, although the law is very explicit
on the subject

THAT FARCE.

Governor Hoch, at the instigation
of Auditor Wells, went through with
the farce of examining the state
treasury Wednesday afternoon, and it
is announced that the governor still
believes the examination a farce.
It is true that the examination does
not show whether the state treasurer
has accounted for all the money that
has been sent him from all sources, be-
cause there seems to be no way of tell
ing what has been sent to him, but it
compels him to account for all the
money that the state auditor has
charged against him. The examina-
ton also shows how much Treasurer
Kelly has on deposit in each of the To-
peka banks, and how much he has
deposited in banks outside of Topeka,
for which he has never had the slight
est warrant of law.
If such an examination had been
made two months ago it would have
shown that the First National bank
had more than half million dollars of
the states money-which it still has.
That would have been before the
banks failure. and if the governor had
been so inclined he could have taken
steps to reduce the states deposit.
Very likely the governor would not
have done it, however. and so the ex-
animation would have been useless
and farce.
This examination does not disclose
whether the state treasurer has re-
ceived funds in payment of interest
on school fund bonds which he has
not accounted for; this can only be
discovered by the state accountant in
checking up the fund by counties.
But it shows whether the treasurer
can produce the money that is
charged against him by the state
auditor, and that is its intention.

his business ability in the management
of the institution and especially the
state binding Irvine plant. but he has
also developed himself as a criminolog-
list. He has treated the criminals that
have come under his charge with a view
to their reformation rather than pun
ishment. although the latter is. of
course, incidental to the former. MT.
Jewett's theory, however, is that crimi-
mails are not sent to prison for purposes
of revenge but rather to reform them,
and he has worked along that line with
good success. If Warden Haskell equals
his predecessors record the state will
have no complaint to make.

THAT $4,000.

It has now been several weeks since
Governor Hoch announced in very
positive manner that State Treasurer
Kelly had Illegally taken $4,000 from
the state treasury to pay for his old
bond given last January. The COVER
nor told Kelly to pay the money back.
Kelly seemed inclined to do it at first,
but after he had bluffed Governor
Hoch in other matters, he changed his
mind and defied the governor.
What is Governor Hoch going to do
about it? Does he propose to let Kelly
keep the money and go unpublished?
There is no doubt that Kelly took the
money illegally. He has defied the
governor. The governor has done
nothing.
Why is Kelly immune7
