THREE KINDS OF LABOR.
VIII Be Experimental With in the
Canal Work.

Washington, July 10.-In order to
test the capacity for work of Italians,
Chinese and japanese, and also the
contract method of securing and hand
ling laborers, the Panama canal com
mission has decided to import 1000
men of each nationality for a five hun
dred day contract, subject to renewal.
Proposals for furnishing the Iaborers
soon will be issued. 1t is the object
of the commission to reduce the
amount of this sort of labor as much
as possible by the use of modern ma
chinery, but it will be necessary to Sc
cure several thousand additional work.
men.
The number of 1000 was chosen be-
cause of being the approximate ca
pacity of one ship at one time. The
laborers will be furnished by contrac-
tors and will have to be delivered be-
fore the first day of December next
The government will furnish free
hospital and medical attention, unfur-
nished quarters, fuel for cooking and
water. Under recent decision of the
attorney general laborers will work
eight hours a day.
This class of laborers going to the
Isthmus will not be entitled to enter
the United States because of an act
of the last congress which made the
immigration laws of the United States
applicable to persons coming from the
canal to the United States.

You may not have forgotten that that
was really the object of Kelly's election.
Somehow, the Republican politicians
and editors got it into their heads that,
although Kelly was not fit for the job,
the way to get rid of him was not to
defeat him at the polls, but to put him
in office again and then remove him.
This struck the general public as
sort of a curious way of getting at the
thing, but you know Kansas is nothing
if not eccentric. But, for some reason,
the programme Jagged and the plan
didn't seem to give much promise of
working until the Devlin bank failure
made it necessary for the state govern
ment to get busy.

This was money that had no legal

Recent exposures show that there is

Hoch Should Strike Louder.

lFrom the EmpOrla GaZette.l
The governor has given Tom Kelly
two weeks in which to repair his bond.
This reminds one of the girl who said
she would give the fellow an hour and a
half to take his arm away from there.
Far be it from the Gazette to sug-
geSt what should be done in the Kelly
matter, but it would seem as though
the case demanded quick and decisive
action. 1t would seem as if the state
should not go two weeks without a
bond, with a million dollars scattered
around in various banks contrary to
law, and with a half million tottering
over the rim of nothing. Ed Hoch is
doing his best and it should not be for
one who has so little sense as the Ga
zette to shoot the pianist, when he is
doing his best. But there are times
when the Gazette wishes some one
would wind the governor up so that
he would strike louder-not that he
doesn't strike right, but he should strike
louder.

Hoch Is at Fault.

IFrom the Kingman Leader-Courier.
The expected has happened at To-
peka and the state treasury is involved
in a scandal beside which the defalca-
tons of Sam Lappin pale into insig-
nificance. On Monday morning the
First National bank of that city closed
its doors and the announcement is
authoritatively made that the state of
Kansas is its creditor to the amount of
$4,000, with not only that amount
but with almost as much more loaned
to one man, C. J. Devlin. and corpora
tons in which he is interested. Dew
lin has been the political and financial
hacker, apologist and bondsman of
the state treasurer. His total in
debtedneSS will aggregate over four
million dollars. His. assets consist of
a lot of mixed properties. much of
which is stock in various coal COM
panies and equities in real estate, prac-
tically all of doubtful and questiona BILE
value. Other banks and creditors hold
the best of the Devlin collateral and
the failed First National which has so
large an amount of the state money,
is left to hold the emptied bag.
But the people of Kansas can scarce
complain. They were warned a good
and plenty, and, despite the warning,
the pretended reform movement of
last year, headed by w. r. Stubs and
Governor Hoch, forced the re-nomina-
ton and reelection of the present
state treasurer. In the face of an in
vestigation commenced by Governor
Bailey, which disclosed thefts in the
state treasury aggregating thousands
of dollars, Governor Hoch disregarded
all the information before him and
daIlied five months of his term away
before giving any attention whatever
to the state treasury situation. During
June he had an accountant in the
treasurer's office at twenty-five dollars
per day, but in that time he seems to
have failed to find that the treasurer
had on June oath, in different banks
over the state without shadow or sem
blance of law, the following amount
of the states money: $1,000, 6O5.04.
Think of it, $1,030.605 of the state
funds without warrant or semblance of
law. in these banksI It has been the
greatest con game ever perpetrated in
the west. For over six years the state
ereasury has been ruthlessly robbed
ana defrauded and the thieves have not
only been shielded but have actually
been commended by newspapers evil
IDENTIFY having an interest in the spoils
The public for three years has been led
to believe that the state treasurer has
been secured, when all the while he has
been growing rich of the interest or
state deposits, filing his pockets from
populations in the school fund and pre-
pairing for his final denouement just al
the time when the state funds are to
be finally taken from his control by the
depository law passed last winter.

LFrom the Ottawa Herald

lFrOn the OIIaWd dSrdIu.
Two things in connection with the
Topeka bank failure are surrounded
with great mystery. One is how a
government investigation could be
made regularly and not disclose the
fact that Devlin had borrowed three
fourths of the banks deposits. The
other is how Governor Hoch and the
executive council could be commanded
by the law to examine the state treas
ury monthly, and not discover the con-
dition of the state funds.
