Sheriff Blue and the courteous treat
ment they received in Missouri"
Pennington Tim es: "That local
tempest in a teapot, the alleged graft
ing in the appointment of Postmaster
Smith, has about blown over, with a
conventional reprimand suggested by
the Post Office Department. When
all the facts are known and disposition
ately considered, one wonders what all
the fuss was about and why. Mr..
Smith, as everybody here knows, is a
cripple and could not get around as
actively as he would like, so he got J.
@. Watson to help him in securing
signatures to his petition, enlisting
others in his cause and having them
write letters favorable to his appoint
ment to the Post Office Department.
Mr.. Watson had befriended Mr..
Smith in other matters heretofore,
and it was perfectly natural that the
latter should feel under some obliga-
tons and a of gratitude, so he
told Mr.. Watson that if he got the ap-
pointment he would try and pay him
something for the trouble and ex-
pense he had taken in his behalf. AZ
ter Mr.. Smiths appointment it seems
that Congressman Hensley heard
about the matter and probably i'm
agining that it might reflect upon him
in some matter, as he Endorsed and
recommended the appointment, Sc
cured a statement from Mr.. Smith
and called the attention of the Post
Office Department to it. There was
really no grating in the transaction
between Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Watson
and nothing wrong in what either of
them did as we understand it.u
