THE cREcELIUs SCANDAL

Now comes the startling news that
Secretary of State Crecelius is charged
with some of the wrongful conduct going
on in the office of Secretary Of State. If
this is true, he should be drawn and
quartered. for not only is he thief and
unworthy of the Office which he has dis
graced, but he is perfectly willing to dis
credit another man and allow him TO be
dishonored and suffer the penalties Of
the law for a crime which it appears
that he had not committed. Such man
is a dangerous animal TO be at large.
Nor can we understand why the grand
jury of Franklin county could not find
discriminating evidence enough 70 return
an indictment against some one for the
defalcations in the automobile depart
ment. The shortage is there, which is
not denied. The conduct OF those in
charge of this department is apparently
discriminating. The mutilatiOns of the
record were bungling and had extended
over a considerable period Of time. Ger
tainly those in charge of the books and
papers of the office could see these mu-
citations and could and ought TO have
known what was going on. 1t was their
business to know. With such incrimi.
mating evidence, it ought not to be the
least difficult to find the parties guilty
of the crime, and they should be hunted
out and the full penalties Of the law Wis
tied upon them.
Democracy is on trial. 1t must clean
its skirts. There has been too much
dallying at Frankfort; too much toler-
ance of wrongful conduct and neglect of
official duties on the part Of those en-
trusted by the people with the business
of the people.
The last years of Governor McCreary's
term may be the best years of his SER
vice to the State. Governor, clean out
the gang that is taking the peoples money
and the multitudes will shout your
praises from the house-tops!
By the way, let's give three cheers for
Sherman Goodpaster, an inspector who

Mrs. John R. Pates was hostess of
quite pretty Rock Party on Monday
afternoon at half after two, and of a
Bridge Luncheon on Tuesday, both being
given in honor of her sister, Mrs. Joseph
L. Taylor of Kansas City.
A profusion of goldenrod, nasturtiums,
and dahlias were used in the hall and
parlor and in the archway, a japanese
basket filed with yellow nasturtiums
and asparagus was gracefully hung.
Five tables were used in the games,
following which delightful salad course
was served.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

The opening of the Democratic cam
erset was an suspicious one for the par
ty. Gov. McCreary, ex-Gov. Beckham,
Senator James and long list of faith
full Democrats addressed the multitude
there assem- bled and were listened to
with rapt attention. It was something
in the nature of Democratic love feast.
Since then, the Democratic campaign
orators have been busy IN various sec
tions of the State and everywhere they
have been met by a united party, de-
termined to win great victory at the
coming election.
Gov. Beckham, while young man, is
probably one of the best-known men in
the State and stands well with the party,
and his following is enthusiastic. Sem
ator Camden adds to the strength of the
campaign his own charming PERSONAL
ty. With these two men as the leaders,
the Democracy of Kentucky need have
no fear of defeat, unless, indeed, such
thing should be brought about by over
confidence.
1t is the duty of every Democrat to be
present at the polls on the day of the
election and cast his ballot for the sue
cess of the party. A party is sometimes
defeated by its stay-at-home vote. = A
thorough organization should be effect
ed in this county with view of bring
ing out every possible vote and let the
county of Madison give for the distin-

Rally Day at E. K. S. N.

The Teachers Institute has been in
session this week at the Normal School

given. Many notable speakers are in at
tendance and fine exhibits from schools
throughout the county were shown at

dent of the Southern Canning Club: She
stated that the young ladies had canned
1900 quarts of tomatoes this season and
showed how the work was done, using
the platform on the Campus as an i'm
provised canning factory.
Miss Noland's club won the first prize
at the State Fair in Louisville.
Another very excellent exhibit was the
Madison county boys poultry show;
Master John and James Farley showed
White Leghorns, Buff Cochins and a
pair of Black Orpingtons: Galen White

Cochin bantams; George DeJarnett had
Black Orpingtons, Minorcas and Pekin

majorities in It's history. We should be
especially anxious that this result be ac-
complished, for the reason that Gov.
McCreary, one of the defeated candi
dates in the primary, would be very
gratified to know that his home county
cast more than It's usual vote. 1t should
be done also because Democracy can be
kept triumphant only when its voters

KENYON At FORT DODGE.


Senator Addresses Methodists At Lay.
ina Of Cornerstone for Church.
Fort Dodge, June 26.-Conditions such
as have been shown to exist in Colorado
and West Virginia coal fields In the
realms Of high finance point the church
of today to a duty to society it must
perform. according to Senator w. 8.
Kenyon who spoke at the laying of the
cornerstone Of the new $4,000 Metho-
dist church last evening. His subject
was 1.-The Challenge of the World to the
Church"
THE challenge of the world today to
the church is this" said Senator Ken
yon, Socialism or church devoted to
the collective well being Of the human
race. Can the church meet this chal-
lenge? 1t has responsibility upon 1t
today that the church has never had in
all the worlds history. 1t must satisfy
the highest moral. industrial and eco
nomic ideals of the age. If thru fash
ion, ease. pride. snobbery. it forgets the
undersoul. if it wraps the cloak of self
righteousness about it and has not
thought for the man, woman or the girl
who is going down. if it contents itself
with the singing of hymns and reading
this challenge. if 1t can not accomplish
its work. it will atrophy."
The new church, of which the corner
stone was laid yesterday, was made
possible first by a contribution of s40-
600 from the Isaac Garmoe property.
His widow. Mrs. Isaac Garnoe, per-
formed the ceremony of laying the cor
nerstone last evening. Mrs. Garmoe
also was active in the building of the
church erected in 1874 on the site OF the
present larger structure.
The new edifice will have equipment
to aid it in carrying ON community
work In architecture 1t is of symmetri-
cal design. In its tower will be a $4,000
set of chimes presented by Mrs. j. p
Dolliver as a memorial to her husband,
the late Senator Dolliver Miss Mar
garet Gay Dolliver and Mrs. z. r. Ora

COUNTY ATTORNEYS MEET.
c. q. Hughes Elected President c
State Assocja$ion-Cosson Talks

Burlingto June 26.-The State AS
ISOLATION of County Attorneys held
their second day session and elected
c. B. Hughes. Of Fayette county. as
president for the ensuing year. George
E. Hill, of Burlington. was named as
vice president. and E. W. McManus, Of
Keokuk. was elected secretary.
The business Of the morning session
was conducted in an Informal man
ner and all those present feel that
they were greatly benefited by the
session. Attorney General Cosson, Of
Des Moines, was present and gave a
talk that was most comprehensive IN
its scope. He stated points Of law
and discussion that have been a source
of doubt for some time, and the clear.
concise manner of their delivery made
these points as clear as any other parts
of the code.
/. J. Henderson, the retiring presi-
dent Of the state association, made an
address on the work Of the county at
torney and stated in a most convinc-
ing manner the things that, in bis
opinion. should be given the most con
sideration by the holders OF the office
OF county prosecutor. Mr.. Henderson
is a thorough lawyer and his remarks
carried the necessary weight to carry
them home to the minds of his audi
ence,

the people for its validity as a law,
thus delegating power to the people.
Justice Woodward said: ~
I'VE will first consider the question
relating to the submission Of an act
subject, we entertain no doubts. The
general assembly cannot legally sub
NIT to the people the proposition
not and the people have no power. In
their primary or individual capacity, to
make laws. They do this by repre-
sentatives."
This seemed pretty plain, but the
court went on to say that the, consti-
tuition prescribes the manner in which
bills shall become laws, that certain
body or department is created for this
purpose" and no other has the smallest
authority in this respect" then the law
making procedure is given in detail,
and again:
The legislative department consists
of the senate and house of representa-
tives and the people do not constitute
a portion Of 1t, and the laws are en-
acted by the general assembly. This
Is the mode provided by the constitu-
ton for making laws. A bin becomes
law in the above manner or it never
becomes such. A vote Of the people
can not make it become a law nor can
1t prevent It becoming one. After bill
as such passed the two houses and
received the approval of the governor.
and thus becomes law by the consti-
tuition, how can the vote OF the people
affect it? AS we'll might this court
submit the decision Of these causes to
a vote of the people Of the state: or
of judicial district; or the governor
his pardoning powers. If there is any
efficiency in the vote Of the people in

Fort Dodge, June 26-Final decision
as to the future location of Benedict
Home has been made by the directors
and announced today The home is to
be taken back to Des Moines. it's or
iginal location, and temporary quarters
inmates will be moved the latter part
of the week. This action definitely re-
moves from the vicinity of Fort Dodge
a worthy and prosperous institution
that has been located at Willowedge
Farm, near this city, for the last seven
years.
Still another reason that contribu-
ed to the decision TO take the home
TO DeS MoineS was the fact that while
the home management lays great stress
on the secrecy which will surround
the identity of inmates it is much more
difficult to observe this rule in small
town. Because this has been found
true the usefulness of the home has
been impaired because girls have feared
publicity If they came here and have
therefore remained away.
Figuring also in the decision to go
back to Des Moines, is the fact that a
bequest Of $1,000 by the Callahan es-
tate at Des Moines. is made to The
Benedict Home of Des Mcines." With
out the necessity for a certain amount
of litigation this could not be pro-
cured while the home is not located at
Des Moines. The board does not de-
sire TO engage in litigation and there
fore this situation had influence in
bringing about the decision to go back
No suitable temporary quarters for
the home could be found in Fort Dodge
and very good location was procured
at once in Des Moines. This will be
occupied until permanent quarters can
be boug ht. All 81 the girls of the home
whom 1t was possible to dismiss. are
being sent to their homes. Friday or
Saturday the remainder will be taken
to the new temporary quarters
