Discrepancy Discovered.

crepancy was discovered In 1906 when
the department negotiated for portrait
OF Secretary Hay, and that prior to the
Root regime It was customary TO include
eral expenses allotted to the department
to be expended at the secretarys dis
erection.
AS TO the result OF an investigation con-
Quoted by the department In 1905, which
MIR. Denby says was never known outside
OF the department, the former chief clerk
reported:
How far Ihe alleged Irregularities in
the use OF the particular fund IN ques-
ton were within the knowledge of Sec
retary Hay could not be ascertained, as
he died in 1905, In which year also Mr..
Michael went as consul 10 Calcutta. Such
practices were not continued under Sec
retary Root. but reports were brought ia
my knowledge, as chief clerk. that the
practice had existed previously.
Mo Official Action Taken.
I'm view Of the entire lack Of reliable
proof OF misappropriating of funds. the
Inevitable, unpleasant criticism of the adj
ministration Of an honored man. which
would result in public action, the incident
was passed over and no official action
was taken"
Mr.. Morrison explained further that OF
the day he paid the $2i50 in cash tc
former Chief Clerk Michael on June Is.
1908. he had ordered his clerk TO inser!
the words two thousand four hundred
and fifty dollars In the printed voucher
and that half an hour after he had paid
the money TO Michael he inquired what
the payment was for and was told in
portrait. Then he instructed the clerk
TO write on the voucher that 1t was for
the Day portrait. Notations on the back
which appeared later referring to emer-
Mr. Morrison said. were not on the
voucher that day.

rial discussion Of the well-managed
and independent newspaper
A very interesting bit OF testimony
in support Of this assertion is furnished
by correspondent writing from Fer
gus Falls to this mornings Pioneer
Press. In a defense Of William Jen-
nings Bryan he INDUCES In a somewhat
bitter denunciation OF newspa pers gen
orally and the Pioneer Press particu-
larry, yet he could not refrain from
giving expression to a conviction that
obviously came from his inner con-
sciousness:
People depend upon the public pres.
70 enlighten them. and your sense OF
Justice will doubtless induce you to
publish this"
There is the double admission that
carries the honora bic ambition Of every
honest and weli-regula:ed newspaper.
The people can depend upon 1t for en-
itghtennent and rely with confidence
upon its sense OF justice. In the midst
OF the Indignation this correspondent
felt over what he regarded as misrep-
resentation OF Bryan the fact stood out
clear and distinct in his mind that ne
could depend upon The sense Of jus
tice" Of the public press. When this
sense OF dependence is lost the news
paper IS IN bad case. But It is existent
even under false exterior, as the
Fergus Falls man illustrates.
