POLITICAL FRIEND REWARDED

The homely adage, THAT one good
turn deserves another like turn may
be true, but in carrying out the princi-
pie it does not follow that it is al
ways without expense to the people.
Early in March last the Byrne state ma
chine discovered that it g%rieveously
short Of winning some three thousand
votes. In the hour of distress the
machine manipulators went to the dark
recesses of the State-the Homestake
m ne managers-and there they sought
the assistance of J.. G. Stanley, attor-
ney for that great corporation, and
laid before him their distressed position
lack of votes. The required number
of voters were there and in the employ
of the Homestake operators. After
promising much to the Homestake PEG.
Pile, in the way Of future benefits to
the Homestake and throwing in a big
bundle of trimmings, Mr.. Stanley prom
ised to deliver to the Byrne machine
the required number of votes to con-
tinue the machine in power, and he full
filled his promise. The manner in which
voters were escorted, By bosses, to the
polls would flush the cheek of sin, and
can be likened to the manner in which
one would buy or sell a Christmas
turkey. The machine won the state by
a narrow margin.
The general election is but four
months away, before which time the
Byrne machine is certain to again be
distressed, and plums have began to
drop to Mr.. Stanley. On May 16, 1914,
that gentleman drew from the state
treasury 500 for delivering a lecture
on mining to Students" This lecture
was given at Vermillion.
Jim Stanley is a great lawyer, a
shrewd fellow; and in the matter of de-
livering voters, at wholesale, when the
Homestake is to be rewarded by spec
ial privileges, low takes, and the like,
he has few equals, and no superior.
Upon a question of law, or corrupt pol
itics, or religion, Mr.. Stanley is abund-
antly qualified to speak; but mining is
a subject that's entirely foreign to him.
1t was the opportunity of the Byrne
machine to pass 500 from the crippled
state treasury to him as part payment
for political services rendered, or to be
rendered.

South Dakota is about 1,50O miles
from Washington. A senator or a
representative returning to the state
ct the close or a session and going
back to Washington at the opening of
the next session is entitled to 5000 in
mileage money, while the round trip
costs him no moro than 500. 1t was
this arrangement that Senator Ken

effort was defeated by a large major

ed the following Tuesday:
The cases of C. M. Gray and S.
A. Lee, charged with perjury,
which came up in the Knox coun-
ty criminal court Tuesday, were
continued by consent. The con-
tinuance was granted owing to
the fact that two of the states
material witnesses were absent
from the state. Gray and Lee
were indicted by the Knox county
grand jury through the repre-
sensations of Attorney General
R. A. Mynatt owing to their testi-
mony in the case of Paul Mckee,
charged with the murder of Elsie
Osborne, which case was tried
in the Knox county criminal court.
Gray and Lee are Cooke county
citizens, Lee being a farmer and
Gray a deputy sheriff. The men
testified that they were searching
for fugitive in the eastern sec
ton of the city. While engaged in
the search, they said, they heard
a commotion in saloon on Jack.
son avenue. They claimed they
saw part of the difficulty. The
men were arrested by a deputy
sheriff inGocke county, brought
to Knoxville and subsequently
placed in jail. The were later re-
leased on bond.
A delegation of prominent New
port and other Cooke County citi-
zens came to Knoxville at the time
to assist in their release.

be corrected.
You have requested me to put
certain items in the bills of costs

little as | think you know, believe
you know they are not right, and

your request, then you howl be-
