Ever since Gov. MarshalPs pie-counter

state making reports of short accounts
and defalcations. the Indignation of the
people has been aroused They came
into Lake County and reported short
ages by Wholesale casting aspersions
on city and township officials In
four years there hasn't been a single
prosecution. 1t is simply case of
democratic waste of public money to
make jobs for Marshall's pets
Yesterday at Knox Judge vurpillat
said: 1T is shame that these social
ed experts go around the state, dig
into the records and make false reports
to besmirch the character of honest
men. when he decided the case of the
state against N. L. Guernsey, former
Washington Township trustee, in favor
of the latter. Suit had been brought
against Guernsey to collect s1,z42 al
legged to have been unlawfully retained
by the former. The report was pub
lished that the official was defunct and
he was caused much distress of mind.
Declaring his innocence. he refused the
services of attorneys. conducting his
own defense. showing that every dollar
had been legitimately expended. You
have been shamefully treated. Mr.

HAMMOND CONVENTION RULE
NOT OBSERVED THIS YEAR

indianapolis, April 25.-Announce-

apolis committee expects to make the
convention the largest church gather

Reports of the various sub-commit-
tees were made at a meeting of the
general committee, composed of rep
resentatives from the 16 churches of
this denomination in indianapolis. Z.

declared that the effective work being
done by the committee bears out the

THE McNAB CHARGES.

TIE sensation caused by the resigna-
tion of u. s. Attorney John L. McNab
at San Francisco, is likely to shake
the teure Of Attorney General Mercy
nolds in his Office. There has, in fact,
been a rumor that Attorney General
McReynolds was about to retire from
the Cabinet, One reason given for
that was the failure Of his suggestion
to inject into the tariff bill a gradu-
ated tax upon manufacturers of to-
bacco. Attorney General McReynolds
had Senator Hitchcock propose this in
the Senate Committee as an admins
tration amendment. This appears, how
ever, 10 have been erroneous; it was
not measure proposed by President
Wilson, but only from the Attorney
General Upon this being explained
to the Senate, the proposition failed,
1t was fantastic proposition alto
gether, and one apparently originating
in the discomfort Of Attorney General
McReynolds with the alleged dissolution
Of the tobacco trust. The decree of the
Federal Courts seems to have been very
and he made some talk a while ago
about reopening the case; but this met
with no favor, and has apparently been
dropped,
And now comes the McNab case, IN
which the Attorney General figures very
much to his discredit. The explanation
is that Secretary Wilson, Of the De-
partmeut Of Labor, is the one who
asked for q postponement Of the case
because Of the inexperience OF A. Cami-
nettl, who has been appointed Com
missioner Of Immigration, and it was
| necessary for him 10 be in Washington
| to learn the duties Of his Office. But
he is the father of the Caminetti who
is under indictment in San Francisco
| for the infamy described by Mr., Nc
Nab. The elder Camnetti desired to
be present at the trial Of his SON.
Therefore, Secretary Wilson applied to
Attorney General McReynolds to have
| the case postponed so that Caminetti
could now remain in Washington and
learn his official duties. The showing
made by U. $. Attorney McNab, how.
ever, that postponement is likely to
defeat the success Of the prosecution
is Of overwhelmingly greater impor-
tance than any immediate learning of
his official duties by the elder Cami-
netti.
It appears that the public sentiment
in San Francisco. Federal Official as
well as general, is Overwhelmingly with
! Mr. McNab, and that representations
are to be made to President Wilson

TERM OF ARMY SERVICE.

The statement is made that the most
recent change in the tenure Of army

that the army is not being served

moters of it evidently hoped That
| legislation extended the term Of ser
vice under enGstmcnts to seven years
! four of which were TO be with the colors
and three in the reserve. 1t seems,
however, and it ought to have been
plain enough to any Que, that the seven
year term OF enlistment is very much
too long. In fact, it is length of
time entirely unnecessary for a fair
training of men in ordinary military
duty. If the term of enlistment were
three years altogether, only one year
of which need be with the colors aud
two years in the reserve, this would
be ample for all ordinary instruction,

In connection with this, there should

THE SUNDAY FATALITIES.

Newspaper men commonly dread the
coming of the Sunday night dispatches
because they are so likely to be chap
ters of horror and accidental death;
and surely this dread was we'll ac
counted for in the dispatches of yes
terday morning.
The most pathetic bit Of news in
this direction was the case Of the two
little boys who were swept over Nj
agara Falls. Pathetic little figures, yet
heroic, they were, standing up in their
drifting boat and calmly shaking hands
which was theirs. The boys were swept
over the falls and their bodies were
seen to be dashing about in the whirl-
pool below.
Then there was the case of nine mem
bers of party of fourteen u, S. en-
gineers and other government emloyees
drowned in the Mississippi, near New
Madrid.
From Kansas City came the news of
the drowning of four persons in the
Missouri river, they being thrown into
the water from the capsizing of a mo-
tor boat in which they were taking a
pleasure ride.
Then there was the case of a Brook

From Iowa we had the story of n
railroad accident, where seven men were
killed and another fatally hurt
Next we have the railroad accident
near Rochester. n. Y, where fifty per
sons were injured, some of them Sc
riously, by the derailing Of an excur-
sion train.
And so it goes, Sunday after Sun
day. There is variation in the details:
but none in the general Sunday ac-
counting Of horrors and deaths The
record is enough to make any one CON
templating pleasure trip of any kind
on Sunday, pause and put the mental
question whether. after all, the old
fashioned way Of resting quietly and
worshiping fervently on Sunday, is not,
ali q. und, the best.
