THE NAN BEHIND.

Now that the settlement of the
shortage of Ex-County Treasurer
Brickenstein has been made by
Fred Warshauer, his only respon-
sible bondsman, a few words in
commendation of the manly atti-
tude of this splendid man will be
welcomed by every honest person
in this great commonwealth. His
course since the first discovery of
the shortage has been one of un-
questioned sincerity and honor, his
only aim and desire being to re
pair to the fullest extent the great
wrong that had been committed
and to prove to the people that he
was entirely innocent of any knowl-
edge of the manner in which Treas
urer Brickenstein conducted his
office.
He has done both, and more.
BY voluntarily making good the
entire shortage, in view of the facts
that the best legal talent of the
state advised him that he could not
be legally held for "A dollar of it.
owing to gross irregularities of the
bond, and that the taxpayers as
sembled at Conejos last Saturday
passed "A resolution asking the
county commissioners to settle with
him for $4,000 less than he ulti-
mately paid, he has done all within
the power of man to repair that
wrong, n wrong to which he was in

Washington, Sept. 25.--Senator
smoot, OF Utah, is the latest cham
pion OF the army canteen, and says
he intends 10 Introduce bill at the
next congressional session providing
for the repeal OF the present law.
II have little reputation TO lose
among the women OF the country"
the senator said. $50 1t seems to me
that I may as well be the champion
OF what each and every representa-
tive in congress believes should be
done. think they all agree with
the officers OF the army that the anti
canteen law is unwise. but because
Of public sentiment they all are
afraid to come out and urge Its re-
peal"
Any well-dehned effort to secure
the repeal OF the anti-canteen law Ia
certain TO bring down upon Congress
an avalanche OF protest from the wo-
men Of the country. II was the wo-
men who compelled the abolition OF
the canteen. and II is woman's inHu-
ence that has deferred the congress-
men from doing anything in the d.
rection OF les restitution. as recon-
mended by army officers.
