attributed TO the desire for clean money, both on

Every subject that Is taken will be treated dis
passionately and from a commonsense point OF
view.
Every oficial-superior or subordinate-who prac-

title him to retention in office promotion, and
the public when it understands will finally so de-
mand. If, on the other hand, cumulative evidence
discloses his ineficiency or dishonesty, such dis
closures should bring about his dismissal. What

The tomb was found to be absolute

Every piece Of the bomb that could
be found was gathered up by the po-
lice and carefully examined. The bomb
evidently consisted of a large tin box
