Mr.. Grimes's Offer to the Attorney
General.

Editorial from the Topeka Daily Capital
August II, 1906.
Ex-State Treasurer Grimes in cor
respondence with the Attorney Cen
eral expresses an intention of making
good out of his own pocket every ac-
tual loss of money suffered by the
state during the time that he was
State Treasurer. In his correspond
ence he states that he did not benefit
by any shortage, that he knew of no
irregularlty when he left the office,
but that he holds himself responsible
to the state for any loss it may have
sustained through the negligence or
dishonesty of any person employed by
him as State Treasurer,
Men acquainted with Mr.. Grimes
believe him innocent of wrong doing
and give him credit for desiring to
save the state loss. for the sake of
keeping his name and record clean. 1t
is unfortunate for him that the fi1an-
cial loss falls upon his pocket as the
responsible head of the Treasury
There are likely to be individuals I'M
acquainted with him who will accept
Mr. Grimes's offer to pay money to
the state as an admission of wrong
doing on his part, but those who know
him will attribute it to the proper
motive, desire to fulfill his duty to
the state, protecting it against loss
from the spseulations of employees
or Others for whose conduct he was
morally responsible. This offer, there
fore, while open to possible miscon-
sstruction, is not to his discredit, but
to his credit. There are many of his
friends who have confidence in his
honesty and who are likely to prove
their faith in him by offering to assist
him to clear his administration.

David overmyer Wants Republicans
to Commit the Error.

Republicans should not fail to re-
member what David Overmyer has
stated as his opinion of the party
man who votes other than his party
ticket In his Kansas City speech
Overmyer said. THE democrat who
fails to vote the democratic ticket is
not a democrat but a traitor to his
party Still Overmyer bases his only
hope of election as attorney general
On the deluded idea that he can in
duce a great number of republicans
to become traitors to their party.

DISTINCTION IMPORTANT.
Results Obtained In Large Institution.

The importance of disinfection is shown
by the results obtained at the Brooklyn
Home for Consumptives, the finest institu-
ton OF the kind in New York. A letter
from the President is quoted:
"We have used Platt's Chlorides in the
Brooklyn Home for Consumptives for more
than ten years, and find it not only COM
fort but a necessity. Through its use we
defy the germs to make any inroads on
the nurses and employees who are in con-
slant attendance upon the sick. one hun
dred of whom are now in the institution.
One nurse has been there well ON to ten
years, asecond almost as long, and not one
person ever empl wed ir The Home has de-
yeloped lung trouble. Mrs s. v. White,
President, Kingston Ave-, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Platt's Chlo.iies is an odorless, colorless
liquid disinfectant which instantly removes
any foul odors and destroys disease-breed-
ing matter. A quart bottle will last an
average family month and 1t can be
obtained at all druggists.

old bucks and sqnaws suznced down In
the dust. the weird wild dances their
forefathefs had danced for centuries,
all the while keeping time TO the
tlreary dronlpg of the gourd instru-
sHtepts OF the native musicians. Not an
American fiddle. not a horn. not even
the famed bass VOL, was to be seen.
The few remaining Southern California
red men were determined to celebrate
their fete In their own way and they
succeeded.
The one thing besides whisky which
invaded the ramada with great sue
cess was an American wheel of for
tune, which is said to have coined
money for its fortunate owner. as did
also a racehorse game.
And besides the artificial racehorse
there was real racing and plenty of it
by Cahuila and Cocopah. and Yuma
braves mounted on fleet horses trained
to the saddle. on the leagues of desert
over which for twelvemonth their
owners had been ridinS them.
The big event of the horseracing
came off one Sunday. Antonio Helma.
a Cahuila Indian and owner of the win
ming horse, Bravo Cahuils. took away
with him more than $1,000 as the results
of purses and wagers- Besides this he
got number of ponies and dog or
two. Among the Indians who bet on
these races there are no odds. every
thing is even money, and they will back
their faith in a tribal horse no matter
how little chance he has of winning.

of a city of 100000 souls they rolled
amid burning Goals. sang the songs
their fathers sang a thousand years
ago. and came out of the flaming ordeal
unhurt.
Six old bucks, bareheaded, barefooted
and with little on save their breech
clouts came in waving. sindous line
from the shelter of the ramada Clear
up to the very rim of the huge. brightly
blazing campfire they danced. then
back, keeping time all the while to a

monotone for which there is no name
Seven times they glided from the
edge of the ramada to the fire-bright-
ened center of the court. hands on hfps.

ever keeping up the chanty of dead
race, a song whose meaning even the
singers did not know.
Gradually the song rose louder and
louder; more frenzied became the
