ROOFING THE RoTTENNEss OUT

The investigation which has just
been started by the grand jury of
the District of Columbia in the
cotton scandal is the first of a
series of Investigations into the
recent irregularities or crooked
ness in the departments. The ex-
animation in the cotton case is, of
course, under the direction of the
attorney generals office.
Apparently it is the purpose to
investigate all the divisions of the
department of agriculture, though
the statistical branch will come in
for the first and possibly the fullest
examination.
An error has been discovered, ac
cOrding to Secretary Wilson, in the
tobacco crop report for June, In
which an increase of 20 per cent
was reported, but it ought to have
been a 20 per cent decrease. 1t was
an error in arithmetic, however, as
the secretary says.
Speculative interests had moth
ing to do with the mistake in the
figuring. Since the Holmes irregu-
larities were brought to light there
has been distrust as to honesty OF
crop reports, and this error in the
tobacco acreage will tend to in
crease this feeling, although there
Iappears to have been no suspicion
of corrupt dealing.
Holmes, the assistant Stats
tician, was dismissed, and Hyde,
the chief statistician, has resigned
and is now on his way to England
1t is the intention of the depart
ment of justice to get those person
ages before the grand jury, il
possible.
Everybody else who has any.
thing of value to reveal, or who
thinks he has, will be brought be
fore the grand jury. The investi
cation will be thorough enough tx
reveal the working of the depart
ment of agriculture, particularly
in its bureau for the collection o
+ data on which it bases its est
t mates of acreage and crops.
: Attorney General Moody has
been directed by the President tx
use all the resources of the depart
; ment of justice to expose and pun
ish all the crookedness in connec
ton with the cotton and Othel
scandals which he can get at
UnquestiOnably the order will b,
obeyed. Wherever it exists gull
will be exposed.
No guilty person will be allowed
to escape punishment.

a Medical Monarchy
We never were in sympathy with
trusts and are especially antagonistic to
medical trust.
We are opposed to Mergers and es-
pecialy opposed to merger in which
the entire controlling stock would be
in the hands of one OF the merging
bodies,-in which the value Of that stock
would be materially increased by that
contributed by the other mergers, while
they would receive no profit and have
no future prospect but absorption and
annihilation.
In conclusion, We believe that the

which was opposed to the accid-

He explained the position OF

were in such close proximity that
she easily could have fallen there.

against him, and be discussed it

what of it," came from the
court "TEe injunctisn was i'm
properly issued. Whoever heard
of an injunction being issued
swithqut action2"
The feeling in Crandon was
summed up by Attorney John F.
Hooper who appeared for the
coroner and relatives of Mrs.
Walsh, as follows:
Eighteen women opt of
twenty ond twelve men out of
every twenty In Crandon. believe
chat Walsh either killed his wife
or drove her to suicide"
Mr.. Hooper was careful to
add "As for myself l don't know
What to believe It conld not
have been accidental. I don't
see how it could have been either
suicide or murder"
An analysis of the reasons Of
those who incline to the murder
theory follows. Walsh's opposi-
ton to the investigation; Mr..
AND Mrs. Walsh quarreled on the
night of the shooting; Walsh
locked himself in his bedroom
without taking supper; Mrs.
Walsh broke into room, split
sing the door; there were words
indicating quarrel overheard
by Miss. Mildred Ward, guest;
Mrs. Walsh was found unclad,
which her n1odesty would have
forbade had she intended to take
her life; there were no powder
marks on her body or the thin
undergarments she wore; she
was found lying on the bed with
her corsets open and no bullet
hole in them, and could not have
reached the bed in thatcondition;
the bullet would have gone
through the corsets if she had
worn them. A small caliber
target pistol that discharged the
fatal bullet was found lying
