COMMON HONESTY.

Perhaps in these days Of political astigmatism, when men have difficult ty in seeing distinctly the line be- tween official perquisites and private honesty, that Kansas auditor who has just returned his mileage is to be commended for his clearnesS of vis- ion, thinks the Kansas City Journal. But there is hardly any reason 10 doubt that any official who collects twice for the same service would dis charge one of his employees in his pri- vate business who did the same.
 The state law very properly makes some provision for reimbursing public officials for expenses properly incur red in the discharge of their duties. It is no part of the recognized scheme of things that corporations should assume this duty of paying these ex- penses, but when they do so it is no less moral dishonesty to accept an other stipend from the state Free another form, and when expenses have 'oeen paid once, it is difficult to see the common honesty of doubling the expense account, and it is cer- tainly an inadequate answer to say that such is "the custom"
 system lies in regarding private busi- ness as one thing and public busi- ness as another thing. A travelling man who would turn in a double ex- pense account would not last very long after he was found out. A pri- vate citizen has no difficulty in seeing what is right and fair and what is neither It is when he becomes a public official that something gets the matter with his moral optics. Per- haps a board of competent moral ocu- lists would be good thing, their duty being to test the vision of those who accept office Any man who cannot tell the difference between a pass and voucher for his services and any man who presents receipt ed bill for payment should be barred.

ST0TALL IS BACK IN
The GAME AGAIN

CLEVELAND, Aug. 19.-George
Stoyall, a brother to Jesse Stovall,
the former colonel, is again a men,
Der in good standing of the Cleveland
Baseball club.
Down In Washington a few days
ago, Manager Lajoie declared that
Stovall could never again be a men,
Der of the Cleveland team, while
he was manager. 1t is not likely that
there has. come to Larry since that
declaration was made any change OF
heart. Stovalfs attack upon him
was not of a nature to prompt a
speedy pardon.
But Lajoie has put the welfare OF
the team before his personal feel
ings. No matter how strongly he
may feel that he has a moral as well
as a professional right to bar Sto-
vail from the Cleveland team. he
realizes that the Maps chances for
the pennant have a prior right. and
that he must do what is best for his
employers, his fellow-players and
the patrons of the game
