<br />THE GAZETTE.
<br />LAVING TODD & SON.
<br />-iATURPAY MARCH 28. 1908.
<br />The 011 Inspection Muddle.
<br />Had it not been for the salutary
<br />law requiring the secretary of state
<br />to cause an examination of the oil
<br />inspector's accounts before approving
<br />the bond of his successor, J. A. Mc
<br />Dermott would have $6,199.75 in
<br />bank as perquisites which are clearly
<br />proven by the report of the public
<br />examiner to be nothing more or less
<br />than plain stealings.
<br />Had it not been for the puerile
<br />attempt of the administration to cover
<br />up the peculation by swelling the
<br />current collections $900 a month for
<br />three months, the late oil inspector
<br />would not be still $2,700 short ac-
<br />cording to the official showing, and
<br />for which his bondsmen should be
<br />held responsible. The three reports
<br />were verified by W. E. McEwen, the
<br />present incumbent, and were accepted
<br />by the state auditor and treasurer as
<br />correct.
<br />To avoid further scandal the oil
<br />inspection law should be repealed at
<br />the next session of the legislature.
<br />It provides for nothing but a flash
<br />test, and the $30,000 in annual fees
<br />are practically absorbed by a $2,400
<br />inspector and his numerous deputies
<br />as a reward for political services.
<br />The additional cost eventually conies
<br />out of the consumer, without adding
<br />a penny to the value of the commodi-
<br />ty. The matter of looking after
<br />the quality as well as safety of
<br />illutninating oils is properly within
<br />the province of the dairy and food
<br />commission, where it could be han-
<br />dled by the existing force at a great
<br />saving of expense. The subject is
<br />worthy of the careful consideration of
<br />every genuine believer in reform.
<br />The Tart Campaign.
<br />W. H. Taft is a big, brainy man,
<br />wholesouled, warm blooded, and ripe
<br />in governmental experience at home
<br />and abroad. He is unmistakably in
<br />the presidential class. Had he come
<br />before the people upoq his own
<br />merits, and not as a candidate of the
<br />administration for the succession,
<br />there would have been a vim and
<br />enthusiasm in the current campaign
<br />which all the present and prospective
<br />office holders can never arouse. Ile
<br />will'most likely be nominated, but a
<br />precedent will also be established
<br />more disastrous to the party than a
<br />third term.
<br />Then his canvas has been most
<br />wretchedly mismanaged. The cool
<br />ness with which Gov. Hughes has
<br />been treated in New ens
<br />York, and the
<br />unfortunate war of extermination
<br />waged against Senator Foraker in
<br />Ohio, places both of these states in
<br />the doubtful column. Thus far it
<br />has been merely a band wagon sortie
<br />after delegates, instead of a well
<br />directed effort to retain a majority of
<br />the electoral votes.
<br />The Board of Education.
<br />The special law organizing our
<br />independent school district provides
<br />that an inspector shall be elected
<br />annually in each ward for a term of
<br />two years, with the exception of the
<br />fourth, where the term is but one
<br />year. The iniquitous constitutional
<br />amendment prohibiting special legis-
<br />lation prevents any amendment, and
<br />the new city charter under which we
<br />are now supposed to be governed
<br />provides for biennial elections with-
<br />out any reference whatever to the
<br />board of education. The question
<br />naturally arises where the said board
<br />will be at on the first Monday of
<br />May, 1909, with four members whose
<br />terms have expired and only three
<br />holding over?
<br />This is the last copy of The Ga-
<br />zette which a number of our readers
<br />will receive, under the new postal
<br />regulations, unless immediate pay -
<br />merit is made of all delinquenciesdat-
<br />ingback a year or more. The yellow
<br />label shows when the time expired,
<br />and each suhscribercan readily ascer-
<br />tain how much should be remitted to
<br />settle the account. The unpaid bills
<br />will be turned over to a collection
<br />agency only as a final resort.
<br />It is reported that the Red Wing
<br />Sewer Pipe Company is contemplating
<br />a new plant in the vicinity of the
<br />twin cities, getting their clay from
<br />Iowa. This confirms the rumor of
<br />last year, that the supply of raw
<br />material in our neighboring city is
<br />about exhausted.
<br />The platform upon which J. P.
<br />Heatwole, of Northfield, professes to
<br />stand in his gubernatorial candidacy
<br />is given in full by The Albert Lea
<br />Times -Enterprise this week. It ie
<br />extremely lengthy, and only needs
<br />the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Com-
<br />mandments to cover any possible
<br />mergency.

<br />To the saying that virtue is its own
<br />reward might be added the exten-
<br />sion that bravery brings its
<br />own reward. At • least that is the
<br />way F. N. Truax, St. Paul Park,
<br />captain of the government steam
<br />dredge \l'arroad, stationed at Lake
<br />Warroad, Minn., thinks, and he has
<br />reason for thus thinking.
<br />Sevt4ral years ago Capt. Truax
<br />figured as a hero in a runaway tied -
<br />dent in St. Paul. Ile saved an elder-
<br />ly woman, a Mrs. Strait, from a
<br />frightful death beneath the heels of
<br />an infuriated team by dashing into
<br />tale street and dragging her to safety.
<br />After receiving the thanks of the
<br />woman he departed, and had com-
<br />pletely forgotten the incident until it
<br />few days ago, when he was notified
<br />that $1,500 had been left to him by
<br />the woman he had saved. The estate
<br />is now being settled, and Capt. Truax
<br />has been notified that he will receive
<br />his $1,500 as soon as matters are
<br />adjusted. "I had completely for-
<br />gotten the matter," said Capt. Truax,
<br />"and didn't even know the woman
<br />knew who I was. Of course I'm
<br />grateful to her. It's the first easy
<br />money I ever fell into." -St. Paul

<br />The St. Paul Pioneer Press pre-
<br />dicts a republican victory at their ap-
<br />proaching municipal election, because
<br />of an increase of five thousand over
<br />the republican vote of two years ago.
<br />To an outsider it would appear that,
<br />taking advantage of our absurd pri-
<br />mary law, several thousand democrats
<br />deliberately voted for Joseph McKib-
<br />ben as the easier man to beat. While
<br />hoping for his election, The Gazette
<br />is of the opinion that L. G. Hoffman
<br />would have been a stronger candidate
<br />before the people.
