with equal delicacy hid the truth
from him, not wishing to seemingly

AN ovERFED COMMISSION.

When Mr.. Carnegie established his
hero fund commission he assumed that
the supply of heroes would measure
up with the supply of dollars. If WI
burg his optimistic anticipations are
in danger of blight. There is more
money than there is heroism.
Perhaps a fairer statement would be
that the commission is so heavily en-
dowed that it cannot spends it's in
come in hero prizes and is obliged
to resort to a., sorts OF measures 20
prevent the income from piling up.
Thus the commission made a large do
nation to San Francisco at the time
Of the earthquake. 1t has created
pensions that do not seem to have no
basis in heroism. 1t has donated a
large sum to the Pittsburg technical
school, which has no right to look
for such a gift. And 1t has just NOV
ed into handsome new quarters at a
: considerable and unnecessary expense.
The fund. In fact, Is money scdden;
1t needs its Carlsbad. Overlooking Is
as bad as underfeeding. To be glut-
ted Is as undesirable as to be fanish-
ed.

rises to comfort and confuse the mil

WANTS THE TRUTH PUBLISHED.
Malcolm Aldrich.

The editor of the Pierre Dakotan
seems very much interested in the
election of a state treasurer. He is
so interested in fact, that he does not
hesitate to distort figures and mis-
take facts, in order to prejudice the
people. Will the Dakotan please pub
lish the following facts as a matter
of news:
First-When Geo. Johnson took
charge of the office Of state treasurer
there was a cash balance of $780,
S73.S9 of this amoun there was
$313,465.97 in the Irvine plant fund.
There was turned over to his $780,
000.0 90 in time certificates of deposit
on this fund and $50, 100000 demand
certificates of deposit on other funds.
all drawing interest.
Second-That the heavy demands
made ON this fund by the warden of
the ~penitentiary for the purpose Of
material, made it necessary to retain
Iuc DdidlCS u lhO VII Blult luLd,
over and above $3.50, 000.0 O. to meet
these demands as presented. This WAS
the action of the former treasurer
and was followed by Mr.. Johnson.
During the months of February and
March, 1909, $37, 10000 90 wa drawn out
of this fund for this purpose.
Third-The records of the treasur-
er's office show that for the first fif-
teen month of George Johnson's term
of office he collected and turned into
the treasury S15,931. SO, money receiv-
ed in interest on state funds, while
for the entire term of the former treas
urer he accounted for only $~2,313.25 in
terest on the Irvine plant fund. Will
the editor Of the Dakotan please pub
lish a statement, showing the amount
former treasurer and when it was
made to earn interest for the state?
Fourth-Will the editor Of the
Dakotan inform an interested public
that he is an officer in the bank of
which Mr.. Ewert the "astute politician
is president, and that the election of
Mr.. Ewert to the office Of state treas
urer, might be of pecuniary interest
to his associates.
Fifth-Will the editor of the Dako,
tan state if there is any other reaso
why Banker Ewert should desire to be
elected state treasurer, other than Sc
curing control Of the state funds?
Sixth-Will the Dakotan please in
form the public why the voters Of this
state should defeat Mr.. Johnson (whc
in the first IS months of his term turn
ed into the treasury $15,931.59 interest
on state funds, while his predecessor
Banker Cassill, in twenty-four months
turned in $2,313.25), and elect Banker
Ewert to the office.

The News believes the Brynjulson
act, comforting upon the governor
power to remove incompetent, dis
honest, negligent or drunken officials,
good and righteous law in the inter
est Of good government and better
and happier conditions. T he News
believes this act should have the
hearty approval of all citizens who
believe the laws were made to be en-
forced and not to flout. 1t is not a
novel proposition but essentially is
in effect in many states. Minnesota
has had approximately the same law
for twenty years. 1t has never been
abused there and never will be. A
governor who gets his authority from
the people and is responsible to them
is likely to be too ~lenient, rather
than to arbitrary in exercising the
power conferred upon him by this
act but when the really fragrant mis-
use or neglect of duty does appear
the act provides a method for prompt
remedy. We need such a law for
without it the governor is well nigh
helpless to enforce the laws he is
elected and sworn to execute. We
beg OF our readers to give this bill
careful consideration and If they do
we feel assured it will have their
support at the polls.-Canton News.
