THE DISMISSAL OF NEWTON.

The Winfield Courier takes up the de-
Tense of DR.. C. S. Newton, superintend-
ent of the school for the feeble minded
at Winfield, who will be dismissed by
the board of control of the charitable
institutions.
The principal charges against DR..
Newton are that he sold a horse and
buggy and a bookcase to the school,
when the statutes prohibit anyone con-
nected with a state institution from be-
ing interested in any purchase or con-
tract made by it; that he drew money
for q trip east on voucher purport-
ing to be for another purpose; that he
endorsed warrants made out to inmates
of the school for work performed by
them; and that he is addicted to drink
ing.
The Courier is a pronounced boss bus
ter paper and therefore is by no means
favorable to the old administration, but
it makes a defense of DR.. Newton that
is strong in some particulars. It asserts
that the $147.63 which he drew for his
eastern trip was to reimburse him for
the expense of visiting institutions in
other states where he went to inYesti-
gate methods of transferring inmates to
other institutions. There was no ap-
preparation to cover a trip of this kind,
and DR.. Newton drew his voucher for
expense incident to the transfer of in
mates to other jurisdictions"
This trip may have been perfectly
legitimate, yet the voucher seems to
have been deceptive. and 1t is doubtful
if 1t is in the interest of good govern
ment to countenance such an action.
The horse and buggy and bookcase
which were purchased from DR.. Newton
for the school, were, according to the
Courier. worth all that was paid for
them or more. There is no charge that
the state was defrauded in any of these
transactions, but the fact remains that
cordance with law.
The charge that he signed the names
of inmates in the school to state war
rants issued in payment for work done
by them looks like a serious matter,
although there is no intimation that
there was graft connected with it. The
Courier's defense is that the inmates
were not capable of caring for their
money in any considerable sum and
therefore the superintendent drew it and
gave it to them as they needed it. The
excuse given was that DR.. Newton did
not wish the warrants held up in the
auditors office. and therefore he signed
them with the inmates names in hand
different from his own. This does not
look exactly right 1t would open the
avenue for grating, even if Dr. New
lon did not do it himself.
One of the most serious charges is
that of drunkenness. The Courier does
not mention this. DR.. Newton admits
that he keeps LIQUOR and drinks it. but
denies that he is guilty of drunkenness
