FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1905.

Time now to call attention
to stock offered for fall and
winter trade.
An advertisement in the
News will spread such in
formation all over DeSoto
county and bring business to
its natural point-Arcadia.
Lots of persons buy by
mail or trade in Tampa and
other places, but when they
do it is because they have
been urged by live advertis-
ers who see how the local
merchants fail to take adVant-
age of the opportunity of adj
vertising in The News.
The circulation of The
News covers DeSoto county.
Can you afford to be unrep-
resented in its columns?

HE will tell you that l am all
right" said the State printer in
part ng with the salesman.
That individual returned from
his interview with the governor in
the best of spirits.
at is all right" he declared.
"Gov. Jennings explained things
to me and it is much bigger than l
thought.
True, finances are a little tight
just now, but there will be plenty
of money in little while, and the
governor told me not to fear for my
account, as my house would be
paid every cent by the State print
err"
The executives explanation was
so soothing that the line of credit
was extended.
OF course, this was a kindly act
on the part of Jennings. 1t could
not be otherwise, for who would
connect a statesman and executive
of great State with the paltry
graft dribbling from the State print
ingi
Hilson had toted Santa Rosa
county to the State convention for
Jennings, and pacification of
the salesman was appreciation of
that favor. Only that and moth
ing more-would be the construc-
ion by friends of Florida's "best"
governor.

OFFICIAL REPRESENTATION.

The State Auditor has "discov.
ered," after an expert accountant
revealed the fact, that l. ]. Nc.
Call, formerly clerk of Hamilton
county, was "short" in his &C
counts, this shortage covering a
period of two years, no investi-
cation having been made of the
books beyond that time. AT this
stage it is pertinent to ask: "Why
did not the State Auditor find this
irregularity and at an earlier datei"
This is a matter concerning the
people, and they are entitled to
know why this official neglect &C.
Cured.
The Hamilton county incident
clearly reveals official laxity or stu
pidity that renders such an office
a farce in the course of its conduct.
1t is indeed poor protection that
fails to discover peculation or short
age, until long after accomplish
ment of such acts.
And, by the way, in every case,
whether accounts are found correct
or discrepancies exist, the whole
report should be given the public.
Such is necessary because cases
occur where defalcation is found
and friends of the defaulter make
good the theft on condition that
silence be maintained and the en-
bezzling official kept from "dis-
grace"

POLITICAL FRIENDSHIP.

The light the True Democrat is
throwing upon the State printing
should cause the people to sit up
and take notice of the corruption
that has hourished about this work
for years.
1t would be interesting if the
Democrat would show if some of
the bills were as carefully audited as
those for other kinds of printing
the delinquent tax list for instance.
As showing the strength of the
Clique missed up in this business the
following incident is of import
aRee: a salesman for wholesale
paper house becoming worried over
the credit he had extended to the
State printer, came to Tallahassee
