Pollock makes a great point of the
fact that he charged too much f or
printing the tax lists only before
the supreme court decided that If
was illegal, and that therefore he
was excusable because the law was
officially construed" in such a
manner as to allow the extra
charge. Did Pollock return the
money thus wrongfully collected?
Certainly the law was violated as
much before the decision" as after
ward, and offenders were as guilty.
The Herald in its charges has been
following the law all these later
years as Officially construed here
In Grant county, and was as ig-
norant of the supreme court deci-
sion as Pollock was originally of the
law.

Former Ambassador Joseph H.
Chote recently told story of an Eng
lishman and a Scotchman who were
swapping fish tales while drinking
with a number Of friends.
The Briton related tall story of a
fish he had landed whose alleged
measurements were such that every
one present smiled, though none ven
tured to express doubt as to the truth
of the account. The Scot in his turn
related a yarn. He had, he averred,
once caught a fish that he had been
unable to pull in alone, managing to
land it at last only with the aid of
two friends. ut was a skate, and four
or five feet long," declared the Scot,
in the solemnest of tones.
Silence followed this extraordinary
statement, during which the Briton,
offended, left the table. The host fol-
lowed. After returning, he said to the
Scotchman: "Sir, you have insulted
my friend. You must apologize"

take a few feet off his fish I will see

JUST WHAT BROOKS TESTIFIED
Thought Burton Might Be Useful, but
Didn't Employ Him.

DIDN'T Employ Him.
Brooks is ex-president of the COM
pany which was the predecessor of
the Rialto. He said that r. III. Kastor
introduced Burton, saying he was will
ing to represent the company. Brooks
at first said he did not see how the
senator could be Of any use, when
Kastor said: Here is the man [point-
ing to Burton1 who defeated your fight
against Major Dennis, president OF
the Rialto company, by preventing the
issue Of a fraud order by the postof-
flee department" said Brooks, 81 re
piled that in that case it might be well
to employ Senator Burton, as KastOr
assured me that all speculative compa.
mics in st. Louis were under investi-
Cation and that trouble might be made
for me-" However, no definite ar
rangement was made.
The first witness of the day was
Hector c. McRea, former comptroller
of the Rialto Grain and Securities COM
pany, who testified that he was intro
duced to Burton in the office Of Vice
President Mahaney, of the Rialto COM
pany, ON March 26, 1908, and was told
by Mahaney that the senator had ten
dered his resignation and severed his
connection with the company.
Witness said Mahaney told him Sen
ator Burton had been paid to date and
that in view Of the fact that there
had been nothing doing for some time
past and that everything had been
cleaned up in the postoffice department,
that the senator felt he was not earn
ing his fees. McRea also quoted the
following statement, which, he testi-
fed, Senator Burton made in his pres
enoe: Before leaving Washington, l
TSenatOr Burton] visited the depart
ment and there learned that there
were no complaints against the Rialto
company"
Following Judge Van Devanter's
opinion Postoffice Inspector Price and
Thomas B. Harlan were placed ON the
stand by the defense. AS objections
made by the prosecution were sus
tanned by the court to comparatively
all questions asked by Attorney Leh-
mann, the witnesses were excused
without much delay, and the court adj
iourned for the day.

about $50 last spring on the lot of

in regard to the material used and
it was turned out with neatness and

DRAWS SALARY JUST THE SAME.

1t was assumed by some that Gov
ernor LaFollette in view of his pro-
tracted absence, during which he
has been lecturing at 5000 per day,
would decline to draw his salary for
duties which he has turned over to
the lieutenant governor. 1t was re-
called that ore of the issues which
Mr.. LaFollette made against the
reelection of Gov. Scofeld was that
Paul Scofeld continued on the pay
roll. 1t was one of the most OBJ
jectionable things that the governor
ever did IN a long record of any
thing-to-win politics. It was per-
haps with that sorry memory that
the governor reasoned that it would
not do for he himself to be absent
indefinitely and yet continue to
draw his pay.
The laws OF the state provide for
absence. The lieutenant governor
is to get S. per day from the state
treasury while acting governor.
But that transparent provision does
not serve as a shield for an absentee
governor who is unwilling to forego
the salary. So the governor thoueht
of great idea. He VIII save tho
people of the state that $5 . day
The patient poor shall have shor
burden lifted &c chat extent aud
whiie tbey ars rejoicing Ia their
good fortune, th8 governor will get
away with the swag.
They 40 we'll who call this man
clever. He improves the occasion
to pose as an economist! What
hope have we poor Stalwarts against
a man so able.
1t was indeed a brilliant idee.
The governor would himself hire
the lieutenant governor to run the
state in his absence. He would Ipay
it from his own pocket. Who cares
for expense where the interests of
ones hard working fellow country
men are involved.
And this was done. Every time
the governor drew his monthly
check (one-twelfth of $4,000 he left
enough in the treasury to pay
Davidson at the. rate of SIS a day.
Thus Lit. Gov. Davidson becomes a
SORT of personal governor hired not
by the citizens but by Coy. La
Toilette.
If you tell LaFollette shouter
that laborers only are worthy of
their hire, he will tell you that the
governor paid for gubernatorial
service while he was absent, out
OF his own pocket. In the good
old days Of European corruption,
not only administrators but judges
and priests were supported by the
king in this same comfortable way.
Oh, Reform, what buncombe is
committed in thy name.

The editor Of the Herald does very
little stalking about the court
house." AT the time the Teller's bill
was being considered by the com
mittee on general claims we were not
IN the building. Believing that the
amount charged for judicial ballots
by the Teller was way above reason,
the committee sent for the Herald
editor to ascertain what the price
had previously been. They were
DESTROYS of seeing the Herald's bill
of 1908, two years previous, as the
judicial election that year was
Identical. With the assistance of
the clerk we found on file the
required document, presented it to
the committee and left the room
This bill noted a charge for 9, 900
judicial ballots at $3.50 per thous-
and, while Pollock charged $500
per thousand for 22,O0O The num-
Der he printed should have been
obtained for about $3.50 per thou
sand, as any who has purchased
printing material we'll knows. The

by anyone who wishes to sub
stant1ate this state nent. The cleo
ton ballots in spring of 1904 were

st. Louis, Nov. 24.-In a long opin-

Deyanter Overruled a motion to dismiss
all the counts in the Indictment against
United States Senator Burton, charged
with having agreed to accept, and hav-
ing accepted, compensation to act as

Contamination of the Agreement.
He held that the agreement was not
consummated until the representative
of the Rialto company, who had con-
Quoted the negotiations with Burton on
the train en- route from st. Louis to
Chicago, had returned to st. Louis and
Burton's proposition had been accept
ed by the Rialto company. Attorney
Lehman had held that the mere agree
ing by Burton to accept compensation
was all, that he fhe defendant was
accountable for, and that that had Oc-
CURED in Illinois. Judge an Devanter
then denied the motion and allowed an
exception to the decision.
Important Witness Produced.
One of the most important witnesses
brought forward by the government
was placed Oh the stand yesterday and
the testimony adduced was regarded az
very damaging to Burton. The wit
ness, Charles III. Brooks, did not az
pear at the former trial. His testi-
mony was to the effect that Burton
had been introduced to him on the rec
ommendation that he employ the sena-
tor, who would, it was stated, be a
valuable man for him in the light Of
pending investigation by the post
Office department, of an investment
