The hearing of State Grain and
Warehouse Commissioner j. T. Brad
shaw was held in the Governors Of
flee in Jefferson City last Saturday,
and, strange as it may seem, the hear
ing resulted in a decision to dispos-
sess Bradshaw of the office for which
he holds a commission to April, 1923,
The Governor was kept quite busy in
the hearing (?) of this case, as he was
the prosecuting witness, trial judge
and jury. Had his duties not been so
multiplied, he could perhaps found a
verdict of hanging, or at least life i'm
prisonment for the accused. Brad
shaw was ousted from his office We'd
nesday with the aid Of the police. 1t
is a shame and a disgrace that Mis-
souri's Governor can be permitted to
pull such "rough stuff" as this in the
name of the law.

pie of the country will make no COM
plant but if they do not his accuse>s
should begforever damned.
1t seems to be common pastime
among some politicians to try and i'm
pune the motives Of big business men
who kidedAn the management of gov
efnmGntaE afairs incident to carrying
on the war.
Mr.. Baruch does not intend to stand
for throwing mud at his good name.
He defes his accusees without mincing
words. He says:
"If / am guilt" by having profted
by my government connection, l
should be shot. If they who accuse
me are liars, they deserve worse
fate for aspersing the name on one
who tried to do his duty with heart
full of devotion to the ideals of his
country"
1t is now up to the accusers of Ba-
ruch to shut up or put up. He is gull
ty or not guilty, Prove him so and
shoot him or else jump in lake. This
is the advice good citizens would give
those who would try to ruin the name
of Baruch.
Efforts of extreme partisan Repub-
licans to blacken the names Of all who
aided the Wilson administration in the
successful conduct Of the big prob
lens during that time show the meas
ures to which some politicians will go.
These men now have the question
souarely before them. Mr.. Baruch
has called their hand and all Ameri-
cans will be pleased sith the defiance
he has hurled at these scavingers who
would drag a mans good name to the
mire.
All fair minded people, regardless of
politics, will approve of Mr.. Baruch'c
answer. His critics must either put
up or shut up.
A similar attack was made on
Charles NJ. Schwab but failed. Polit-
ical snipers should be sniped. Shoot
ing is too good for persons who make
profession of wrecking people. Any
body can throw rock through win
dow but it takes a mechanic to make
the glass.
