t'KE GAZETTE. <br />I IiVINO TODD * SON. <br />SATURDAY APRIL 11, 1908. <br />The Difference. <br />When the public examiner found <br />an actual shortage of $6,199.75 in <br />the accounts of J. A. McDermott, <br />late democratic state oil inspector, <br />that official was not only given every <br />opportunity to explain, but the report <br />was held up ninety days to enable <br />him to raise the money and his suc- <br />cessor to cover $2,700 of the amount <br />back into the treasury under the <br />guise of current collections. It was <br />nearly five months before the scandal <br />became public property. <br />When, in retaliation, the public <br />examiner was directed to investigate <br />the accounts of F. G. Warner, the <br />last -republican incumbent of that <br />office, he found an alleged shortage <br />of $12,010 in three weeks, and the <br />report was promptly filed with the <br />governor and the claim turned over <br />to the attorney general. for prosecu- <br />tion. No explanations were asked of <br />Mr. Warner, his only knowledge of <br />the procedure being from the news- <br />papers. There is likely to be a <br />material shrinkage in figures it the <br />matter gets into the courts. <br />It is to be hoped that the next <br />legislature will abolish the useless <br />inspeetinn. It costs the state $28,000 <br />annually to collect the $30,000 in <br />fees, which becomes merely a cor- <br />ruption fund for rewarding political <br />services. rr <br />The prompthless with which a vel <br />large proportion of our subscribe <br />have complied with the recent reg <br />lation of the postoffice department is <br />extremely gratifying to the publish- <br />ers, who desire to heartily thank <br />them for their loyalty to the paper <br />and their manifest desire to assist in <br />establishing the cash in advance <br />system. A number of names were <br />dropped from the lists last week, <br />being more than a year in arrears, <br />and others will follow unless remit- <br />tances are received at once. Look <br />to the yellow labels. <br />T Young, attorney general, has <br />written a spicy letter to The Duluth <br />Herald denying the rumor that he has <br />withdrawn from the race for governor <br />and challenging the interests to do <br />their worst. As they appear to be <br />already supporting J. F. Jacobson, it <br />is difficult toconceive what additional <br />harm they are able to do the republi <br />can party at this particular juncture. <br />Minneapolis finally concedes that <br />J. 0. Armour will not build any <br />packing houses in that town this year. <br />Neither' will he next year or the year <br />after. The extensive land purchase <br />and concessions were only a great big <br />bluff, and when they. have served his <br />purpose the unloading process will <br />quietly begin. <br />The railroad commissioners have <br />issued an order granting the Milwau- <br />kee Road permission to change their <br />tracks between Hastings and Red <br />Wing, providing suitable depots are <br />built on the new line and highways <br />maintained to the old stations of <br />Etter and Eggleston, which are to be <br />abandoned. <br />The populist convention at St. <br />Louis last week nominated T. E. <br />Watson, of Georgia, for president <br />and Samuel Williams, of Indiana, <br />for vice president. The Nebraska <br />delegates withdrew atter a vigorous <br />fight, accompanied by T. J. Meighan, <br />the only delegate from Minnesota. <br />Gov. Johnson and staff left for <br />Shiloh on Tuesday to attend the <br />unveiling of the monument to the <br />Minnesota soldiers participating <br />in the battle, and at which he delivers <br />the address. The return will be via <br />Louisville and Chicago. The trip <br />is purely a political one. <br />The Twin City Excursion League, <br />Minneapolis, is planning a trip to the <br />democratic national convention at <br />Denver, at very reasonable rates, and <br />propose getting together a represent- <br />ative Minnesota crowd to boom the <br />state.
