DOOLTTTLE.

Kansas has had many quaint charac-
tiers. and the past week has brought to
light another. Douglas county contrib
utes an individual who should be en-
shrined in the archives of literature. He
is Farmer DoOIitt1e. who is described "a
an old and respected citizen Of Doug
las county"
Farmer Doolittle's claim to fame rests
on the peculiar chara cteristfc exhibited
by his conscience. Mr.. Doolitt1e If
seems. was paid the sum of twenty-five
collars some time ago by some support
ers OF Henry Allen, who is a candidate
Tor congress in the Second district. The
Topeka Capital refers to this twenty
I'VE dollars as Doodle" and it is broad
~ intimated that the money was in
tended as a bride to buy Mr. Doolittle's
influence in behalf Of Allen. That is
evidently the impression which Mr.
Doohttle sought TO convey when he
made the matter public although II
since develops that the money was in
tended to pay DoolIttle for his labor in
taking a poll Of his township, and more
over that Mr.. Allen had nothing to do
with it
But after he had possessed this TWEEN
ty-five dollars for a season. it appears.
according to his statement that Mr.. Doc
Titles conscience began to hurt him.
Whether inducements were held out by
Mr. Aliens enemies to prompt Mr.. Doc
Titles conscience to get troublesome is
not known. Whether the great and good
Mr. Stubs, for instance, made some
small contribution to a Fund to Pro
mote the Activity of Consciences de-
ponent sayeth not
Certain it IS. however, that Mr.. Doc
Titles conscience began to hurt him.
He says so himself He heard that Mr..
Allen was not a proper man to represent
the Second district in congress. The
great and good Mr.. Stubs said SO. He
was told that Nj Allen had got half
OF the profits on the state printing two
years ago, and he feared that there
might be some faint about state print
ing money. and he became afraid that
he had been paid some Of II
Mr. Doolittie apparently was willing
to be bought, but he objected to being
bought with tainted money. He says he
is an honest man and he refuses to be
bribed with any but honest funds. At
least that is what one gathers from a
perusa1 Of Mr.. DoolittIe's statements.
And so he returned the money!

TROUBLE WITH THE Law

After waiting all these years the peo-
pie Of Kansas have at last been told
why Thomas Todd Kelly. state treas
urer. has violated so many laws during
his career
The trouble is with the law and not
with Kelly. We have the word Of some
unnamed friend of Mr.. Kelly for it.
In speaking Of Ke1ly's direct violation
of law in depositing over 100000 in the
Bank Of Topeka. when the state deposi-
tory law prohibits him from depositing
more than $4,000 in that bank. this I'M
named friend of Mr.. Kelly is quoted as
saying:
Mr.. Kelly has violated the state de-
pository law technically, but the trOu-
bic is with the law, not with Mr.. Kelly"
OF course, Why didn't we ever think
Of it before. Here we have been blam-
ing Kelly for violating laws when he
has not been to blame at all-the fault
has all been the laws.
It Is all very clear. The depository
law ought not to have limited the
amount Kelly could deposit in any one
bank-then he wouldn't have violated
it. How plain that is!
We can see now that the fault was
the laws when Kelly loaned A. A. God
ard 1923. 600 to finance the Comanche
county bond deal The law ought not
to have prohibited him from 1oaning the
state money to his friends. If it hadn't
he would not have violated it.
When Mr.. Kelly took that s.. 600 from
the treasury to pay for a bond that he
never paid for and bond that the state
never contemplated paying for any
way. the trouble was all with the law
IT ~ TO . o M
appropriation about with any special
provisions as to what the money was to
be used for. 1t ought to have been turned
over TO Mr.. Kelly to use as he pleased.
Had the law done so Mr.. Kelly would
not have violated it.
Thus it can be seen that in each
case where Kelly and the law have
conficted the trouble has always been
with the law Very likely when Kelly
raised vouchers and committed for
gerles when he was county clerk of
Miami county, in order to steal hun
dreds of dollars from the county the
fault was also with the law. There
ought to have been no law prohibit
ing his stealing from Miami county.
1t Is now all very plain. The state
Journal for the first time clearly I'M
derstands Mr.. Kelly's attitude and the
embarrassing situation in which he fire.
quently finds himself. Hereafter it Will
bear in mind that when Kelly violates
a law it will be evidence that there
should be no such law for him to vio-
late
incidentally, it Is stated that the rea-
son Mr.. Kelly deposited over $500. 900
in single bank-more than four times
The authorized amounts because he
received the states dividend from the
First National all IN a single check and
he had to deposit in a lump some
where
OF course the average business man
would make the deposit as Kelly did.
but he would then Immediately check
against that and mail these checks to
his other repositories. so that the ex-
cess deposit in a single bank would
not have remained there more than
twenty-four hours; but Mr.. Kelly does
not seem to have thought of that.

JOURNAL ENTRIES

As we understand it, Mr.. Doohttle of
Douglas county was willing to be
bribed, providing the money with
which he was bribed was legitimate.
but when he was told that it came out
OF the state printers profits his con-
science began to hurt him.
Bill Doolittle. whose doings are
sometimes mentioned in these columns
wishes it distinctly understood that he
IS no relative of Mr.. DOOlittle Of Doug
las county. He serves notice on all
candidates that when he accepts a
bribe he viii ask no questions as to
where the money came from and also
promises to stay bribed even if he
should afterwards discover that the
money was contributed by John D.
Rockefeller.
We wonder If Nick will go to the
probate judges Office to get the mar
rage license himself or send another
fellow in his place.
We also wonder if the Washington
boys are getting their horse hddles and
COW bells ready for the charivari Satur-
day night.
The Authors club will hold its an
nual banquet tonight. Several people
who really write for a living will be
among others who attend.
