STATE AUDITOR CLAIMS THAT
AMOUNT CAN BE SAVED.
Would Overhaul the Various Depart

tigate All Expenses.

Topeka, Kan.-State Auditor James
NJ. Nation has given out statement

The bill as drawn provides for a
commission of three members, APP

to be paid $40 day and are to be
limited to 100 days in any fiscal year.
No employees except stenographic help
are permitted. The commission is In
structed to investigate the expenses
of all departments and determine
what departments should be abolish

can be cut down. 1t is also to investl-
gate all state boards and schools and
other Institutions and work out plans
whereby the expenses can be reduced
by the consultations of boards and re-
auctions in the expenses of running the
boards and institutions. The commls'
sion is to make a written report of its
findings and send a copy to each mem
Der of the legislature of 1913, and then

The city of Charleston is now

the whole State will await with
interest the advent of a new era
promised. Mayor Grace's inaug-
ural address is a splendid paper,
and has the ring of earnestness.
He is not promising any extreme
legislation, but the tone of his
address is for Improvement all
along the line; the new admins
tration will have many reforms
to put into operation which Will
be experimental, but we believe
If the promises are carried out
they will result in a progressive
awakening in the historic city
which is loved throughout the
State. Mavor Grace's address
will go down into history as one
of the best municipal deliveranc-
es ever presented in this State,
and Will equal any in any other
State. We congratulate him and
wish for him the best of success,
and we hope that every citizen of
the grand old city will join in to
help his administration make
Charleston what 1T deserves to
be-one Of the most progressive
cities in the American Union.

THE eoNzALEs-FELDER BUscoMsE.

T. B. Fielder, the Atlanta law
yer who was charged with crook
edness by Governor Blease. and
who threatened to publish a book
exposing Blease's connection
with dispensary transactions
while he was in the Senate, has
again broke into the limelight by
a rumor published in one of the
Gonzales string of newspapers,
TheSpartanburg Herald, that the
promised book Of exposures will
soon be forthcoming, and that it
is now in the hands Of the print
ers. Well let it come the public
will take very little interest IN
the publication, as.for that mat
ter, the public has lost interest in
everything connected with the
late dispensary. Mr.. Fielder
while employed to assist the At
torney General in bringing to
justice the dispensary corrup-
tionists had the opportunity then
to tell all he knew C. Blease's
connection with that institution,
but be.did not see tit to do so IN.
til after sBlease was elected Gov
emor,Sand not even then. until
the Governor gave him to under
stand that his services were no
longer needed. # while Fielder
was employed to ferrit out the
corruption he knew or had proof
against Senator Blease he was
recreant to his trust when he
withheld the information, and his
attitude after dismissal will be
taken with salt.
The readers Of The TINES, will
recall the attitude of the Colum-
bia State in the primary which
elected Governor Blease, that
newspaper was very severe in
it's denunciation, and cartooned
Blease in manner which was
not endorsed by those who favor
fair treatment of a candidate, the
Spartanburg Herald is owned or
controlled by the head Of the
State newspaper, and Mr.. Fielder
seems to have the ear of the Con
zales newspaper connection.
hence anything appearing in a
newspaper in which the Coma
les are interested against Blease,
is regarded by the public not
worthy Of consideration, because
it is soaked in a bitter personal
prejudice.
When Blease was a member of
the Senate he defended that in
stitution, while others tried to
destroy it, but Blease was not
alone in his friendliness for it,
nearly one half Of that body vot.
ed to continue the institution, our
recollection is the dispensary
was destroyed oy a very close
vote, the writer among those who
voted to abolish it. but all the
while Blease and many of his
colleagues were defending the
dispensary there was never a
hint Of his having any corrupt
knowledge of the institution;
after the dispensary was abolish
ed it was charged that senators
representing liquor houses were
using their official position to
thwart the Attorney General in
his effort to get an appropriation
to further prosecute his investi.
cations. but none charged Blease
with having represented the liq.
uor houses, and it was ne who
called the senate's attention to
the charge made in a newspaper.
It seems to us that then was the
time for Mr.. Fielder who was get
ting money for his services to
the State to speak out, but he did
not, on the other hand he seem
ed quite friendly with Senator
Blease.

-pR 1r1n1c1apy AND POLITICS.

The legislature will soon be IN
session, and already there's con
lecture what that body will do,
:of course, it is generally conced-
ed the best service it Can rem
der the State is to get clear OF
the elections, take up the ap-
preparation and supply bills, cut
down the supplies to a five cent
cotton basis, make the appropri
ations accordingly, and then
adjourn; but we do not expect
such wisdom as long as politics
can rise above the general
welfare, what do the politicians
and the treasury raiders care.
so long as they can get what
they are after. If the law was
so that a member of the general
assembly could not be a candi-
date before that body, in our
opinion, it would relieve mat
ters very much. because many
who are now members Of the leg
islature did not go there for the
general welfare, but to crafty a
personal ambition to get some
thing-a Judgeship for instance.
The judicial elections will
take up a good part Of the ses-
sion. it will be remembered that
last year the general assembly
failed to elect the fifth associate
justice, but conditions are differ
ent this year, the resignation of
Judge Jones has opened way for
some who were then aspirants for
a place on the supreme bench to
get together. and by combining
their forces elect two of the old
bunch. If Judge Gary is placed
at the head of the supreme court
and many think it is due, then
there will be two associate jus
tees to be selected, last year
Memminger, Watts and Fraser
were candidates for the only va
cant seat on that court, neither
being able to get a majority,
a stubborn deadlock resulted
and there was no election, but
this time there is nothing to
hinder two of the three candidates
from making a deal, that is, to
give their support to each other.
and elect both. and in this day
of political juggling it will not
surprise US If something Of this
nature is done, even with such a
sacred thing as supreme court
judgeship.
There will be several circuit
judges to be elected: the friends
OF the candidate will dicker with
the friends of the supreme court
aspirants, and there will be such
hob-nobbing and trading as will
put the little crossroad politician
with his quart of booze to blush,
and yet it is expected for the
courts and the law to be respect
ed when the judiciary is the
offspring of this kind Of politics.

st. Louis, April 14.-This city was
visited by the most destructive storm
that has passed this way since the
memorable cyclone of May, 1896.
The wind travelled at 30-mile
gait, according to the government
weather forecaster, who had forecast
ed only local thunderstorms, and
hail, generally of the largest size
ever seen here, destroyed consider
able property. Three persons were
instantly killed by the storm and
probably a million and a half dollars
worth of property was destroyed.
Eight of the upper stories Of the
Burlington railroad elevator were
blown into the Mississippi river and
100000 bushels of grain stored
there lost. The elevator loss is re-
ported to be 100000. Thousands of
windowlights in West, Southwest and
North st. Louis were broken.

per cent. The storm entered the city
