A MATTER OF MONEY. David Leahy, now editor of the Eldorado Republican, has the fol lowing editorial in his paper of September 24th relative to the fees in the state treasurer's office now being retained by Treasurer Akers: "Peter Laughlin, Democratic candidate for state treasurer, says that if he is elected -he will turn the fiscal agency fees collected by liim into the state treasury every three months according to the in tent of the law. We have heard Larl Akers say .the self same thing before he whs elected to that office. He hasn't done it. "Peter Laughlin . says further that he will sign a public contract "With the people to that effect. We know him to be a high-minded libnest man and we believe he will lo. what he says without being bound by a contract to that effect, but since he says he is willing to bind himself to turn these fees into the treasury every three months we are for that kind of a "Contract with the people. -"Mr. Livermore, of Olathe, is al lot of poly foxing in the state treas urer's office. "When the late Mark Tully was state treasurer a law was passed making that officer the fiscal agent of the state. At that time it amounted to practically nothing. but as the era of public improve ment set in which called for bonds the business increased so enor mously that the legislature set about providing another plan for handling the fiscal agency work. It created the office of special as sistant state treasurer at a salary of $1,800 a year. It is in section 4 of the session laws of 1911, page 16, and it says, The treasurer of state is hereby authorized to ap point as assistant treasurer, who, in addition to his other duties, shall have charge of the fiscal agency work of the state treasur er's office at an annual salary of $1,800.' "A Kansas farmer may wear a hickory shirt, but he knows that that law meant that when it was made the state treasurer was re lieved of the work of transacting the fiscal agency business of the state, and he knows that relieving the treasurer of the work implied that the fees should be turned in- In this state canmaien the is sue is not whether Hodges, Cap- was one of the real Dioneer set per or Allen shall be governor, tiers of this community, hut he but whether or not this state is is as active and SDrv and can do to permit money to be the most as much work as many men of iinporiani iacior in deciding eiec- half his age. ium a m muui pui imo ouice a Milton.Bosse was a business man wnose newspaper intiuencejvisitor from Ellinwood Monday uiamo liim a puaunc menace.

In the Kansas language there is such a word as polvfoxina. . It is not a dictionary word, but we all have a good idea as to what it means. There has been a whole that because of the omission of a comma or something, or perhaps mistake in the title of the bill, that part of it which gave fees to the treasurer was not repealed, al though it clearly created another Extra Low Prices DURING Fair Week ; ' IN Millinery Mj.'D;RI!5y officer for the work. - "We understand that these fees amount to approximately $8J during the two years Mr. Akers has been in office. They are in ' the state treasury, and not in his ! own charge. Under the interpre tation of John Dawson, or his of fice, Mr. Akers can legally put that $8,000 in his pocket; under j the moral law as interpreted by an honest conscience he is not enti tled to a cent of it. We do no know whether he is going to gov ern himself by John Dawson' law or Almighty God's law in this 'matter, but if he intends to put that money in the general fund of the state where we think it ought to be put, the people of Kan sas should demand that he do it NOW. We have been associated close ly with Mr. Akers in the gover nor's office, but if he were our brother we wouldn't vote for him if he kept that money which be longs to the people of the state of Kansas. "He is running for re-election, If he is beaten he can put that money m his pocket. We don't want to think he would do it, but we know the temptation is great The election will be here in five or six weeks . It is due the peo ple of Kansas to know before thai; Gov. Hodges has given this state a business administration. He has given to the state more of value for every dollar expended than have his predecessors. He is but one of several departments of state government, and he has done more than his share to keep every promise made to the people. It matters little whether there is a Democrat, a Republican or a Pro gressive in Kansas, for, after all, there is no party way of adminis tering the business of the state, but when we have found one man who has been tried and measures up to the best standard, and op posed to him is one whose influ ence on politics is sinister and ous, then there can be but little doubt . as to what the verdict should be or will be.
