THE GAZETTE'S STORY PUNUTURED,
John and Bill Discuss the Printing of the
Baliots,
John :
story relative to the printing of the
ballots for 1901? Is there any truth
in the statement ? The article appa-
rently is erooked,
Bill! The article apparently
crooked and the article is crooked,
John: You know the truth in the
matter; tell it J
Bill ;
ries of misstatements with a one-half
truth in it and a whole truth,
John : As bad as that ?
Bill : That is doing the Gazette jus- |
tice in the matter. The half truth inj
the matter is that the Reporter oftered
to do the work of printing the bal'ots
for $150 00, and the only whole truth
in the article is the statement that the
Gazette did do the work for $150.00 at
some loss.
John : I notice the Gazette said it
did the work at “ some loss!’
Bill: A judge, in remanding a
eriminal called him a scoundrel, The
prisoner replied, * Sir, I am not as big
a scoundrel as your honor’ —here the
culprit stopped, but finally added—
‘takes me to be.“ Put your words
closer together, said the judge. This
little anecdote serves to illustrate the
case at hand If you connect the Ga-
zette’s own language you will see that
it did the work at a loss.
John : You mean to say that the
Gazeite took the printing of the ballots
at $150.00 knowing that that figure
represented less than the actual cost of
the work, but did so in order that
Democratic offices would not get the
work.
Bill : Exaetly.
John: Ix the Gazette in the habit
of doing work for the county at less
than cost ?
Bilt : No indeed : the Gazette took
this particular work at less than its
actual cost for the sole objet of mak-
ing political capital of it, and then it
Was unable to put up a story without
falsely representing facts,
John: How about the Centre
porter agrevivg to furnisu the
for $150 00?
Bill : John, eall up the Centre Re-
porter oflice by telephone, and ark for
yourself,
John: Hello!
Central : Helio!
John: Call the
office,
Reporter : Hello!
John: Did you promise te
the ballots for 1901 for $150 00 2
Reporter: No!
John : Sure?
Reporter: Absolutely! The ecom-
missioners asked a bid for a ballot con-
siderably smaller thau the one re quired,
and for that size bsliot. snd wot the

{ PAYNE'S WARNING,
i Head of the Government Sets un Bad
Example.
Postmoster General Payne addressed
a circular to all employes of the post-
office department, including
masters. The circular, in part,
follows :
‘*As to political activity, a sharp
line is drawn between those in the
classified and those in the unclassified
service. Postmasters or others holding
unclassified positions are merely pro-
hibited from using their officers to
post
glecting their duties, or from causing
public scandal by political activity.
“A person in the classified service
has an entire right to vote as he
pleases, and to express privately his
opinions on all political subjects, but
he should take no active part in politi
cal management or in political cam-
paigns.”
masters peed this warning
asters, asa class are entirely too ac-
tively engaged in political affairs, if
not to the neglect of their duty to the
disgust of the citizens in general,
The thousands of post masters
through the country are little alarmed
over such an edict from their chief s»
ernment continues periodically
“swinging around the circle” with the
chief aim of infusing Republican doe-
trine. If it is becoming a postmaster,
and it truly is, to attend to his busi-
ness, it would surely be creditable to
the chief executive of a great nation to
quit the position as chief
of the Republican party,
