THE GAYNOR.HE.ARS7 CONTROVERSY

Mayor Gaynor of New York and
William Randolph Hearst. editor, own
Ell and 1T of the New York American.
are going for each other, hammer and
tongs. 1t seems there is no love lost,
as there has never been much love
between them. The American was
not friendly to Mr.. Gaynor's candida
cy and had a few prophesies to make
concerning his administration; and re-
Gently at the publishers banquet in
New York, given by the Associated
Publishers Association, Mayor Gay
nor expressed his private opinion pub
licly of the New York editor and his
newspaper; and that has brought on
more talk.
1t seems that during the Mcclellan
administration one Coholan, a most
modest and unassuming limb of the
law, presented a bill of $4,000 for
services as special counsel to the at
torney-general" This interesting lit
tie billet deau was handed in at the
eleventh hour of the outgoing admin
istration, and, the story goes, its spon-
sors attempted to railroad it through.
At the very last moment, however,
some one put Mayor Mcclellan wise
and he instructed his chief clerk to
hold the bill and call the attention of
his successor to the same. En- transit |
from the old administration to the |
new, the foster fathers of the found |
ling bill generously and graciously
of their own free will and accord, |
free gratis for nothing, pro bono pub
leo, mopped five thousand dollars off |
its face, and 1t came up smiling from |
the leftover" accounts of the old adj
ministration for $4,000, and this time |
was successfully railroaded through; /
and now the New York American |
calls it deal for political consid-
Grafton"
Mayor Gaynor's law partner is
named Hyde; and the American face
tiously calls him the Mayors Thick
HYDE 1.-THE two" says the Ameri-
can, Constitute the DR.. Jekly and Mr.
Hyde of Law and Politics" With
these preliminary forewords by way
of explanation, we quote from the
American, that our readers may see
how interesting the controversy has
become; not intending thereby to
prejudice the minds of any as to the
real merits of the case, with which
we are not familiar. Perhaps as
much of scandal as Of fact; of that
we do not know. Howsoever, in a
signed article in the American, Mr.
Hearst says:
Il say that Mr. Caynor does not an
swer clearly.
And the really important thing is
for Mr.. Gaynor, Mayor Of New York.
guardian of the peoples property, to {
answer clearly and quickly. .
Say your partner paid the warrant. ,
If you please, Mr.. Gaynor; say your
law partners assistant paid Il, if you i
please; but at least explain why .
warrant which the former administra- !
ton held up as exhorbitant was paid
by your administration without ques-
ton and without investigation.

Travelling Into Danger.
e Lowell Contradiction

From the Lowell Courier Citizen.
There is some fear that the western and
southern farmers are geing into debt too
fast for automobiles and other modern
luxuries. They are encouraged 10 do this
by the generally high prices obtained for
their products. and they md the manu-
facturers perfectly willing to take their
notes for the machines. This Is pretty
dangerous business. however. as all hands
admit. II is pointed out that a single bad
cro.s ..ar would put many farmers In a
financial hcie. There are many signs
that credit Is beng unduly stretched all
ever the country.
