written two weeks after Sheriff Jones
told the commissioners he had been
paying those bills monthly and that
those particular bills were already
paid by him and that 1t would be
wronging him not to repay him what
he had advanced for the county.
The Republican holds the view
that the council we're careless about
these things; that they took sides
more or less personally against the
"tax articles" being published by The
Republican; that they ridiculed them
before they realized that there was
some startling truth in them; that
when it seemed advisable to give
attention to the matter they found
that they had got in wrong in the
matter and to admit 1t was to dis
credi their friends and admit their
own mistake, and rather than do that
they chose to let the city lose little
money and discredit one man rather
than many. The farther they let 1t
go the more embarrassing ii would
be to back up, and the more wrongs
| it inflicted to keep on covering up
the mistakes. Some Of them did not
give it their personal attention and
simply voted for what the committee
proposed as the easiest way out of it
for them.
The present council is made up
of good men, but they have shown
that they will do things as council
that they would not do in their per-
sonal affairs For example, year ago
they were saying they might as well
not have city attorney as to have
what they had, and that if they could
not get the service from him it would
be better to dismiss him and appoint
someone else. Soon after that they
all signed statement saying that his
services had been highly satisfactory
and they would recommend him to
the consideration of all the voters
of the county for a responsible posi-
tion. 1t was in direct contradiction
to the truth about his work, and they
had no object in signing except that
they had not the courage to refuse
when asked. In the case of the find
ing on the prison board bills they
had an object in recording false
hood-it seemed to place them in the
light of men who had made no mis-
take in handling the peoples money,
and it protected greater number of
their friends than it discredited. If
they would do the one thing that was

do the other thing-adopt false

of the falsehood by requiring cor
ERECTION. =.
If The Optimist account of it was
true it would indicate that the coun-
Gil had made no mistake and that
The Republican had been wrong all
the time and had been libeling every
body connected with the bills, includ-
ing the council. If The Republican
account was true it would indicate
that there had been the double
charge, the overcharge, the defense
of the unjust charges by the sheriff,
and that the council had made mis-
take and were coming to see how it
had been taken advantage of.
At the next meeting the finance
committee offered report saying
| they had found nothing wrong with
the sheriff's bill and they recommend
ed that the whole matter be dropped.
1t was adopted by unanimous vote,
and when asked what they would do
about the restaurant bill which they
had acknowledged at the previous
meeting must be wrong if the
sheriff's bill was right, they seemed
puzzled and one of them suggested
that bill of the same restaurant
which they had just approved for
payment be held up until they got
the sheriff's quarterly bill ''for fear
we get stung again" This was com
mended by others as a smart thing
to do, and the bill was held up In
the next issue of the Republican we
twitted them about this acknowledge
ment made in contradiction to their
own remarks and their report, and
at the next meeting the restaurant
bill was passed for payment without
comment. When the sheriff's quarter
ly bill was received it was passed for
payment with slight examination and
without comment.
If this paper has been wrong in
one link of the matter covering about
a year it has been wrong in the whole
contention, and has libeled many of
those concerned, including the mayor
and council and the then sheriff. The
sheriff in order to induce the commits
sioners to allow the countys portion
of the bill, said he paid monthly for
the meals, and was already "out"
the money. In his talk to convince
the finance committee that he was
all right he exhibited certain check
which showed for itself that it was
for three months meals furnished
by the restaurant, the check being

THAT PRISON BOARD BILL
Continued from page one

Continued from page one
May the restaurant presented a cor
rect bill for the meals furnished the
prisoners in the restaurant, and 1t
was paid without objection. At the
end of the quarter the sheriff pre-
isented a bill to the city and charge
for many meals for these men prior
| to the time they were taken into GUS
/ ody and the dates showed 1t; ne
also charged the city for meals cover
ing the whole period wheA the bunch
of prisoners were eating at the rest
aurant at city expense direct and for
which the city had paid. The coun-
ell were informed that If they PAID
This hill II would be a double pay
ment, and that the bill filed by the
restaurant which they could now re-
fer to, gave the corresponding dates,
and that the sheriff's docket of pris-
oners in custody Eat night and the
court docket giving the names and
dates of sentence and the length OF
sentence would be further proof that
the sheriff was asking payment Tor
meals that were never served. The
publication of the matter of arrests,
commitment, street labor and dis
charge of the men in The Republican
as the things happened would be ad-
ditional proof, and if it had not been
true when published it would have
been libelous, therefore it might be
depended on if they needed it for
proof. The city council made sup
CRITICAL investigation in August and
paid the bill, and having taken the
stand that it was right and that the
publisher was wrong, and having
found that it was made an, issue IN
the campaign to determine whether
the "prison graft" should be contin-
ued or whether to deny the exist
ence of such graft and re-elect the
men who at first denied its existence
and afterwards defended it as II II
existed and as if it was right, the
council got into a predicanent. The
men who had defended the existing
system were beaten at the primary
election, and the publisher called
public attention to further proofs
that there had been deliberate pay
ment Of one bill second time. The
council ignored the matter until NO
vember and then appointed the
finance committee, consisting OF
Peck, Younie and Van Bramer to in
vestigate. In making the report for
the committee, Mr.. Peck said it was
plain that they had paid the bill
twice, but he did not know which one
or to whom they should go to ask for
money back. That it had gone 50
long it was no difficult to get at the
proofs, and especially the matters
depending upon mems memory, and
one or two such connecting links
would be very significant IL they
could get them.
The committee was instructed to
investigate further, and both news
papers gave accounts of what was
said and done in the meeting that
night relating to this matter, but they

AS a well-known Catholic chaplain
said: Where there is chapel there
should be chaplain, too"-now be-
comes evident. At army posts, where
there is no place to hold divine SER
vice, or Catholic chaplain, the SOL

miles to the nearest place for con-

On last Saturday President Wilson
laid the corner stone of the marble
memorial structure in honor of the

handsome building is to be the perma-

After the laying of the corner stone
by the president, former President

rear this memorial, delivered the ora

MORE ARMY cHAPELs.

That there is urgent need for more
army chapels is shown by the direc-
tions Of the Secretary Of War to the
quartermaster general that the latter
shall hereafter include in his annual
estimate for funds for the erection Of
one or more chapels, which shall be
devoted exclusively to religious pur-
poses. There shall be one chapel for
each regimental post where chaplains
are regularly stationed, until all such
posts are provided with suitable
chapel.
Among these estimates shall be in
cluded the necessary equipment of such
chapels. including organs, and for
maintaining a recreation tent for each
regiment and for the necessary equip
ment of such tents with folding chairs,
folding tables and a folding organ;
also for the repair and maintenance of
motion picture machines and other
equipment furnished by the govern
ment for the recreation of enlisted
men.
For long time the Catholic church
has requested permission to erect
chapels on various military reserva.
tons, which request has not been
granted. Now, however, with chapel
at every regimental post and at other
posts where chaplains are regularly
stationed, the spiritual welfare of the
enlisted men of the army will be we'll
provided for, and the recreation tent
with motion picture machines win
