joyed the use of the states money
and how long the state had enjoyed
the use Of Mr.. Guilbert's cashiers
paper. Mr., Guilbert refused to pro
duce the same and the investigation
was stopped. Is II any wonder there
was no examination Of the treasury
as required by lawY
Good 10 Themselves.
This investigation disclosed the
fact that Mr. Guilbert is the president
of the Capitol Trust company, and
was a stockholder in the Union Ma
tional bank, and that the average
monthly balance of state funds carried
in the Capitol Trust company by Au'
ditor Guilbert before II was trans
ferred to the state treasury was $96,-
0Si.20 for 2s months. A similar
monthly balance Of s9I533t2 was
carried by him in the NJ. and NJ. and
The Union National bank for over
nine years.
What right had Mr.. Guilbert to use
the peoples money without paying
interest on It? The law directs that
he deposit such funds in the state
treasury. But the state treasury has
been used to further the private inter
ests OF Mr.. Guilbert and MIR. McKin
non. Can anything different be ex-
pected from their deputies, Fullins-
;on and Green. whose nominations
were forced upon the Republican par
ty through this great machine Of Gull
bert's? This deputy, Edward NJ. Full
ington, candidate for state auditor,
is a stakeholder and director in t1e
Capitol Trust company. and Charles
| c. Green is stockholder in the
Union National bank. Can It be pre-
sumed that these creatures will rise
above their creators? The people
never will know how their money has
been handled and how their finances
have been juggled until they are per.
mitted to look at the books by those
| who are interested in disclosing the
true facts of Mr. Guilberts admins

Why Keep Rooks7

When the committee through the
state senate Investigated the Office OF
tLe state treasurer, they found that
no books, ledgers or accounts were
kept by that officer showing transac.

were deposited millions Of the peo-
ple's money. The treasurer. McKln-
non. violated the depository law in
failing to flo a statement as required
by section lj7 Of the Revised Stat.
utes, and yet Auditor Guilbert, whose
duty It was to supervise this office,
never discovered This non made any
efforts TO have the treasurer comply
with the law. Mr.. Guilbert's banks
were the big favorites. Why keep
books?
AS auditor of state Mr., Guibert
collects annually about two million
dollars in taxes from corporations.
Instead Of turning tAis money into
the state treasury as the law directs,
he deposited 1t in his own banks. lie
then gave his individual check to the
cashier OF the hank and that cashier
in turn would give cashiers check
TO the state treasurer. This check
was deposited in the state treasury
Instead OF the cash, which was left
undisturbed in the bank. The state
treasurer would hold slip OF paper
while Mr.. Guilberts banks would
keep the coin and draw the pronts
thereon, The senate investigating
committee discovered these facts.

Mr. Shermaus remark is strangely
out OF place when one stops to re-
fleet that his own nomination and
the nomination Of MIR. Taft were
absolutely dictated by one man with
big stick and steam roller.
Nlr Sherman's remarks was all the

UNIQUE PARTY.
Miss Jennie Mabel Harris Guest
Of Honor AT A Library Party
In Minnesota.

The Library Party given at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. NJ tombstone
Monday evening in honor of Miss Har-
ris, of Cloverport, Kentucky, and Miss
Barber, of Minneapolis, was one of the
most pleasant of the seasons parties.
The house was brilliantly lighted for
the occasion, many colored electric
lights being strung on the spacious
porch, while Japanese lanterns blinked
from every corner.
At one end of the porch a Japanese
coy corner was arranged, which proved
quite popular throughout the evening.
After the guests had all arrived they
we're furnished with tablets and PEN
ellis and proceeded to make the rounds
of the rooms puzzling over what each
one was supposed to represent.
1t was very amusing to see, for in
stance, young man trying earnestly
to solve what was represented by the
very queer bracelet worn by his fair
NlS-d-Nlot WAAlNh was q
around the wrist with a smaller one
clinging to the end. The only help
given him was that the smaller one was
a lady and that she was related to the
larger one. The young man was at
last successful, putting down on his
list, THE Daughter of Magnate "
When the tablets we're all filled they
were signed and gathered up and the
most successful ones announced. Miss
Theresa Schultz and Miss June Lamb
each had the same number of correctly
guessed books, and cut having been
drawn, Miss Lamb was decided the
winner of the prize, which was dainti-
ly bound book.
After the guessing contest was over
dainty refreshments were served on the
porch at small tables decorated with
prettily shaded candelabra, after which
the guests retired to the house. where a
short musical program was enjoyed.
Among the guests and books repre-
sented were:
Mrs. Johnston, ben Hur' (been
