FORMER UTAH TREASURER
SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS
Accused Official Admits Shortage Of
Over $4,000, Which 5ondsmen
viii Refund to State.

Salt Lake City-According to infor-
nation made public Thursday night,
James Christensen. former treasurer
of the state of Utah, who retired from
Office January 1 of the present year,
is short in his accounts to the amount
of $70,62S94
This shortage will be made good by
nothing.
The discovery of the defalcation
comes as the result of an investiga.
ton of the states accounts made by
the state board of examiners.
A pecunarity in the figures shown
upon the books of Auditor Jewkes
first aroused the suspicion of the Off
Gals. Salt Lake county was charged
with $16S,000, while the credit to the
state was only s1O6,000. The books Of
the treasurer on the other hand,
showed the credit of the full amount
so that when they were turned over
to the present treasurer there APP
peared no discrepancy in Christian
sens accounts.
For the $4,000 which had been paid
by the county to the state, Mr.. Chris
Hansen had issued a single receipt,
taken from the back of the receipt
book, but had destroyed the duplicate
and triplicate, which, by law, he Swas
required to preserve and enter.

it has at least not been marked by
any incident calculated to confirm the
prediction that the experiment of Gu
ban self-govenment was destined to a

the government OF General Gomez has

ability wisely and firmly to direct the
destinies of the island. Cubans Of all
parties seem for the time being de
termined to forget their political diff

At che close of the provisional gov
eminent, one of the most prominent
Americans expressed the fear that the
Gomez administration would collapse
within three months; but he added
that IL 1t survived it probably would
endure indefinitely.

Threatened Backward Step.

While journals by the hundred are
multiplying in Turkey and China to
influence the course of public senti-
ment, to direct the public policy, to
discern and foresee the logical con-
illusions of political doctrines and ten
denotes, and to instruct readers in the
art of self-government," shall the Uni
ted States encourage a theory of gov
ernment-regulated journalism, an Off
cially determined type of public opin-
ion, a virtual censorship of thought?
Not if the people, congress and the SUI
preme court know it. Some of the
finest tributes to present-day journal
ism, it's agency as a detector and pun
Usher of crime through publicity, have
come from contemporary as well as
past justices of the supreme court.
1t is Justice Harlan who says:
1.-THE standard of public virtue is
higher than it was rs years ago. A
vast deal of this is due to the fact that
the public press of this country, every
day and hour of it's existence, is turn
ing it's light into the dark places, is
ferreting out corruptions at their birth,
and bringing before the people that
which they ought to know; and there
fore / believe in the provision of the
Bill Of Rights, which says, Nor shall
congress make any laws ~abridging the
freedom Of the press!'"

Fair-Minded Men viii Auree,

Upon this point we conceive that
fair-minded men will not disagree. In
many respects the proceeding is I'M
fortunate. For M thing, it may be
suggested that the United States gov
eminent is not so unstable that it is
liable to be o%verthrown by what any
two or a dozen newspapers may say
about 1t. The public looks with we'll
grounded suspicion upon anything
whatever that a be interpreted as
an attack upon the freedom of the
press. All imaginable i'll consequences
from excessive license are as nothing
compared with the, evils of a press
which has been harried into subservi-
ence and a government which has
freed itself from the restraint of criti-
cism. This is the oatcome to which
Mr.. Roosevelt's libel suits tend, though
he may not know it or wish it. 1t
might interest him, to recall the pun
ishment which the country inflicted on
the old Federalist party for passing
the alien and sedition acts. Adams
provocation was greater than the
World gave Mr.. Roosevelt, but the
people wrecked the party which sought
to muzzle the press.-Portland Ore

WASTING THE PUBLIC MONEY.
Figures Show Gross Extravaganza Of
Roosevelt Administration.

During January there was an in
crease of almost SIT, 0 900 in the
public debt, which is due to a heavy
decrease in the cash held by the treas
ury. The receipts from all sources
we're ~s47,4SO.42S, and the disburse-
ments 500, 024, 26O, the deficit for the
month being $685. 42, and for the
year 79,S14.443. There was a slight
gain in customs over January, 1908,
and a loss of a little more than
$1,0OO,O 900 in internal revenue. The
total receipts fell off by $4,000, 900,
while there was an increase in ex-
penditures of $4,2O7, 900. All the
items show an increase except public
works, in which there was a slight
falling off. The most interesting fact
ID the growing expenditures, which
were $47,S27, 900 in January, 1907;
S5S.S17,O0 0 in January, 1908, and $685.
024,O00 last month. Comparing the
expenditures with those of the first
four months of this year we find that
they are larger than for any month
except July, when the bills are al
ways heavy. For the year ending
with last June the deficit was $685.
100000. 1t is already almost $S0,000,-
600 this year, with five months yet to
run. The available cash balance is a
shade under $500, O00, 900.
OF curse this is an extraordinarily
bad showing. 1t is the natural result
Of the gross extravaganza which has
characterized the Roosevelt admins
tration. There is nothing to be said
that has not been said many times
before. But we trust that the persist
ent exposition of the facts of the stu
alton may ultimately impress the
people, and through them their repre-
sentatives, with the need for economy.
There is no reason why we should ap-
propriate a billion dollars for admin
istering the government for one year.
That amount cannot be spent wisely.
The outlook at present is for an even
larger deficit next year.

Waste in Naval Expenditure.

The navy department is in for an
investigation, this time on the finan-
cial side. The recent charges as to
waste in naval expenditures are too
startling not to have some basis of
truth and Senator Hale's resolution
of inquiry is expected to uncover in
~teresting and valuable material. The
Washington Herald says:
Whatever may be the upshot of
Senator Hale's investigation it is evil
dent before it begins that congress
shares responsibility with the depart
ment for the expenditures alleged to
be ~eXtravagant. The political infiu-
ences which sustain navy yards in i'm
possible locations are all COMPRESSION
al; the various plans for making work
for government employees are strongly
supported at the capitol. So that any
inquiry directed exclusively to depart
mental methods will fall short of dis.
closing the whole truth, whatever else
1t may discover. And when the mat
ter Of naval expenditure is consider
ed in its broader aspect it will be seen
that an immense waste of public
money, not necessarily an improper
waste, is inseparable from the policy
of naval expansion to which all civil
lied nations are committed. The prog
ress of naval science yearly converts
costly war machinery into useless
junk; the life of guns and ships is
brief; and the mad ace of naval con-
structors to produce bigger and bigger
battleships necessarily reduces the
fighting value of lesser vessels"

Crowd Sees Daring Robbery.

the most daring, best planned and
well executed robbery in st. Joseph's
history occurred in sight of 1000 per-
sons when a man dressed in overall9
threw a brick through the window OF
M. c. Rosenfeld's jewelry store win
dow and seized $4,000 worth of dia-
monds. He escaped by running down
an alley. He was followed by the po-
lice, but had evidently planned the
robbery, as a rope stretched cross
the alley in a dark spot tripped the
pursuing officers and delayed them.
