it was never intended that the state should pay for this automobile, but that this voucher was issued for it, pending their final decision to purchase. The car, however, was delivered in Novem- Der when the voucher was issued. The officials of the department informed us that voucher was issued with the un- derstanding that the Tedford Auto Company was not to present 1t to the treasurer for collection for several months, while they were making up their minds whether or not they would purchase the car. .o
 Pleasure Cars Are Expensive.
 Especially when the bills are footed by the other fellow.
 Dickinson s automobile was one of the expensive' kind. The Legisla- tive Investigating Committee, appoint ed to "nose' into his business, had this to say in their report:
 Funds Misused''
 'TOut of the Rock Crusher Funds, the sum of $640.31 was expended for "gasoline,' ' during the perloo from No vember, 1913, to January 31, 1915; and for automobile repairs, '' the sum of $675.75, was expended. We find a further sum of $9se.11 drawn from the highway fund, for automobile expenses, making a total of $2,303.07 for ."' auto mobile expenses, gasoline and for re- pairs to automobile, which we leave without further comment
  speak for themselves, and agree with them.
 This was some" gasoline, and some repair bill, and you paid for it. Couldn't Be Confirmed, but Gould Be
 Appointed.
 It will be remembered that this same M. F. Dickinson was candidate for appointment upon the newly created Board of Control for State Charitable Institutions near the close of the legis- lative session of 1915, but it soon be- came evident that certain senators would not vote to confirm the gov ernor $ appointment, and something else must be done. Something else was done. Auditor L. l.. Coffman was in duced to resign the office he had only shortly before been elected to, and was appointed on said Board of Control. You remember the whole sickening story of the appointment of Dickinson by Governor Hays to the vacancy in the auditors office; how the Senate refused to confirm Mir. Coffman and how through some sort of political hocus-pocus Auditor Coffman went through trap door into the basement below and how, when he turned back, he found M. F. Dickinson firmly and unyieldingiy planted in the office of auditor of state through an appointment from Governor Hays winch did not re- quire confirmation by the Senate. There is no use to speculate on the remarkable deal, but it IS worth while to point out the doings of Dickinson in that office.
 Wm. "Bill' Stoddard Rewarded.
 And "Billo Stoddard was made deputy auditor of state. "Bill's' job had burned up out at the rock crusher, although he continued some months thereafter to draw $150 per month.

Iest We Forget.

It is often pointed out that the pub lie is quick to forget. But surely you have not forgotten the legislative com mittee s investigation and report last year
 Some remarkable revelations they were. Surely, you have not forgotten the report of the State Highway De partment! Dr. M. F. Dickinson, pres ept auditor, my opponent, was charged in that report with irregular acts he did not explain satisfactorily to the committed
 Both as superintendent of the state rock crusher and later as secretary of the State Highway Department, he was investigated and charged with irregular conduct in office
 Later, after he was appointed auditor of state, he got in the limelight in g very questionable way.
 He has held three public positions in a brief year and half, has been inves tigated three times and reported on quite adversely each time. He is now seriously threatening to audit himself to find out what became of the miss ing poll tax receipts. He is bad actor.
 All of this I propose to describe to the people. I have right to go into 'Dr. Dickinson s official records. He has a right to go into mine if he wants to. I invite him to do so. The key will always be there for him.
 Appoinf ed Always-Not Elected.
 It should not be overlooked that M F. Dickinson was not elected by the people to the office of auditor of state although he consistently refers to his candidacy as for reelection" and as seeking a fsecond term.''
 As superintendent of the state rock crusher, and as secretary of the State Highway Commission, Dr. Dickinson served by appointment, but not through the votes of the people. It is well ] to remember this.
 $8ss to "Mr. Denny,o M. F. Dickinson
 and ITO Cash.''
 The Auditing Committee, Senators Futrell and Garrett and Representa-. tives Gentry, Smith and Swepston, in vestigated the State Highway Depart ment and found that checks ranging from $7.40 to $49.10, aggregating $6ss, had been drawn on the department $ account at private Little Rock bank, but no receipt for this money could be found by the investigators. Dr. Dick inson said it was to tconvicts for over time. ' These checks were drawn to MT. Denny" MT. F. Dickinson and to cash. y This considerable sum of the peoples money was paid out in violation of law-EVEN IF THE CON vICTS DID GET TT FOR COVER TTME.' This remarkable expense bill was created while Dr. Dickinson was superintendent of the state rock crush CT, at salary of $150 month, and which position he held but little over a year, for he was soon to earn promo ton.
 The rock crusher had lost the state only $11, ,1T6.s0 in one year under the doctors management and got burned down to boot, and so he was en- titled to promotion. Don't you think so7

Who Is McAmis?

Judge Jeptha H. Evans, circuit judge and man of splendid repute, in let. ter dated June l9, 1915, published in the Gazette of that date, said:
 T read the statement of MT. A. J McAmis in today's Gazette. I have known MT. McAmis for many years He is brotheri law of the late J M. Oathout. He is thoroughly reliable and an upright man. No man in our community stands better for truth honesty and courage than he does. This is his home.
 Same Old Stall.
 Following the quitting of McAmis Dickinson said he was incompetent anyway, and that he was already plan ming to fire him, that it was "poli- ties, etc. The confession of Thomas to the Auditing Committee was signifi. cant. On June Il, Thomas filed his report on the auditor s office with the

Made Friends With the Cruel
Accountant.


 In his new position Dickinson again went to "work He was inducted in- to his present office under appointment from Governor Hays, and not by vote of the people, on March 4, 1915. The Auditing Committee remained over aft CT adjournment of the General Assem- bly, and did not reach Dickinson s of flee with their auditing and investigat- ing until May 25. With but little more than two and half months tenure in the auditor s office it would certainly seem that Dickinson would have no ground for fear of an audit, but not so. He and Stoddard began making love to the expert accountant, l. F. Thomas.
 But this loving twain was destined to have more hard luck, for it was about this time that A. J. McAmis resigned his position in the office.
 McAmis Resigns and Makes Affidavit.
 Let MT. McAmis tell his own story of that resignation. Here is what he said in writing, under oath:
 State of Arkansas, county of Pu- laski.
 "I, A. J. McAmis, do hereby certify that I have been an employe in the of fee of the auditor of state during the entire incumbency of the present state auditor, M. F. Dickinson. On the 18th of May, 1915, Dr. Dickinson and Bill Stoddard were in Dr. Dickinson s pri- vate office for some time; when they came out of the office, Stoddard called Thomas, the committee accountant, back into Dr. Dickinson $ private of flee and they remained in there for 30 minutes or more. When Thomas and Stoddard came out of Dickinson s of fee, Stoddard came to me and said that i've have made proposition to Thomas that if he would make the kind of report that we wanted on the audi tors office during pr. Dickinson s in cumbency, we would get him the mon ey on his unpaid vouchers Stoddard remarked that when they made this proposition to Thomas he (Thomas) pulled the cork plum under. Stod- l dard said that .we are going to pay him hundred dollars today and the balance when he makes the report. He l said that Thomas wanted all the money

A TRAGEDY AND A CURE.

Elizabeth was one of the army OF
young girls who marry annually. She
loved Ebenezer, and both looked for
ward to happy married life.
But after three years she learned
more about Ebenezer than she had
ever suspected. He seemed to be d
worthless scamp, and one day was
missing, leaving the two children or
Elizabeth's hands to support.
Some months later Ebenezer was
caught and sent to Jail. But what
good did that do Elizabeth. 1t didn't
tighten her burden. She likewise
could obtain a divorce, which woul6
cost money, but would not tighten life
for the woman.
What should be done in case lik'
that of Ebenezer-and there are alto
gether too many cases like his in thu
lands to tie him to post ant
horsewhip him.
They do it in few states, wher'
wholesalers and wife-beaters are al
extreme rarity.
Sending worthless husbands to jai
doesn't harm them or scare them, bu
severely Furnishes innocent wives. An
punishment should be concentrated O.
the guilty party.

THAT LIST OF TEACHERS.

The list printed in yesterdays issue
of The Graphic as teachers chosen to
serve in the public schools of Pine
Bluff during the 1867 session was
not entirely accurate. This was as
certained by The Graphic yesterday
The Graphic obtained the list from an
official of the school board after the
meeting of that body Friday night.
Except that the official explained he
did not have his records with him and
spoke fsomfmemory,. The Graphic had
no reason to suspect there were in
accuracies. The Graphic yesterday
endeavored to secure from the proper
officials of the public school board an
official list of those selected to serve
in the schools during the next session,
but could not do so, being told that a
"revised" list of the teachers will be
issued by the school board in two or
three days. The Graphic makes this
statement to show that it is not en-
tirely at fault for such errors as may
have crept into the list, and The
Graphic does not feel it is more
culpable than officers of the school
board, to whom application was made
Friday night, and again yesterday and
last evening. The Graphic submits il
is as much, if not more, the duty OF
officials in the public employ to dis
seminate to the people through the
newspapers information concerning
the peoples business as it is the
business of the newspapers to seek
and print that information.
