is surely a hard blow on the state
of Washington that such state
of affairs should be possible. but
as it is a fact there should be no

Demands More Investigation

The charges of graft made
against Ex-Governor Mead and
Auditor Clausen in the erection
of the executive mansion by sub
stitution of inferior and cheaper
material than that provided for
in the contract should be inves-
tigate thoroughly. These offices
are still posing before the people
as competent, honest and amti-
tious candidates for places of
honor, power and public trust,
and if they have been guilty of
grating or neglect of duty on so
important a contract they should
be punished and properly tagged
for future public consideration.
Auditor Clausen has been very
particular on many minor bills
that were of little concern to peo-
pie generally. 1t will be inter-
esting to persons having had
small bills cut down to learn
whether the Auditor hos been as
particular with larger accounts.
1t makes very little difference
whether the state loses its money
through neglect of duty or
through deliberate thievery.
The result is the same to the
victim. The Hamilton vouchers
and the executive mansion con-
tract should prove the fitness or
unftness Of both Mead and Clau-.
sen to continue in public life.

that Larry Kelly is keeping his
