MR, CARSON'S PROBE,
A thorough investigation of the
profligate expenditures on the new
Capitol eannot be avoided. The elec-
tion is over and the question is no
longer a campaign issue. But the
scandal lives snd burns and blisters,
and the pr be is all the more certain
because it is now free from any im-
mediate political complication.
There are interests which will object
to turning on the light and which will
seek to smother and defeat a real in-
quiry. Bat their effort will be vain.
Too many pledges are out. Too many
forces are in earnest. If the majority
in the new Legislature should be dis
posed to cover up, the minority is
strong enough to compel an investi-
gation. The Governor-elect has given
his word and his good name is com-
mitted. Without waiting for the new
administration or Legislature the
present responsible state authorities
owe it to themselves to push the
probe. The State Treasurer will press
it, publie opinion will demand it, and
evasion will be difficult.
The second letter of Attorney Gen-
eral Carson to Contractor Sanderson
does not look like trying to evade. It
is all that could be asked. It is a
searching and penetrating call which
pierces to the marrow of the deception
and fraud. The case admitted of
nothing less from a self-respecting

Instead of attending Institute, Prof.
public officer. The answer of Mr,
Sanderson to the first letter of the
Attorney General was trifling. It was
worse than evasive—it was truculent
and almost contemptuous. Not only
did it fail to give any real information,
but it plainly bad the spirit of not in-
tending to give auy.
For example, the Attorney General
had asked what was the basis of the
bid * per foot ”’ and how the contractor
measured furniture in that way. The
answer is that he made *“ surface
measurements,” But that tells
nothing. What surface? Linear or
cubic? Bubstance or air? Following
the sinuosities or squaring the object ?
The answer furnishes no enlighten-
wert and the only thing we know is
that on this bidding * per foot’ the
state paid for furniture four or five
times its real value.
This is only a sample of the trivial
ity and obscurity of the answers. It
was almost an affront to the Attorney
General and Mr. Carson shows in the
character of his second letter that he
resents it. In this rejoinder he frames
his questions with a particularity and
explicitness that will hardly admit of
evasion. They will put Mr, Sanderson
to the test, and the answers will so in-
volve those who gave the orders that
inquiry must lead up to them. The
search for the truth has begun and it
must go on to the end,

Berks county hunters who have taken
quarters at the Centre Hall hotel, and
drive to the mountains every day for a
bunt, Bo far their success has been
light, but they expect to capture bear
and deer sufficient to hold the lead of
hunting clubw in their native county,
The result of the late election is
heralded by the gang as a great
victory, and an endorsment of the
big Capitol Bteal. Thousands of
honest voters in the state were in-
fluenced to vote with them by their
shaliow promises of reform, and false
alarm to stand by the President. It is
certainly encouraging to kuow that
thousands of christian men discarded
party and voted for civic righteousness
and clean politics and while they did
not win, they are not dismayed, The
time is near when the party lash will
fail to drive the honest voter to en.
dorse their corrupt methods, and we
may see the day when they will with
their own hands remove the heads of
the gang of looters from off the
Capitol doors.

While it is to be deplored by all
good citizens that the fusion ticket did
not win, there is much to rejoice over,
Thousands upon thousands of good
christian men dropped partisanship
and voted for civic righteousness, and
thousands more would have done the
same had they not been fooled by false
alarms and whipped inio line by the
party lash. Btaond by the President
was one of their strong appeals. With
a falling off in two years of over four
hundred thousand msjority is not an
o, dorsement.

IN CONJUNCTION...
with the announcement of The House of
Kuppenheimer appearing in the leading
magazines, we desire to make known to
the public that our line of
KUPPENHEIMER CLOTHES
is complete and includes all the most ex-
clusive and select patterns for which the
House of Kuppenheimer is celebrated
and which are so much in demand with
good dressers.
Kuppenheiiner Clothes are unques-
tionabiy superior in quality of material,
workmanship and style. There are very
few clothing institutions anywhere in
the world that have the facilitie® for
producing the highest type of men’s
clothes, such as The House of Kuppen-
heimer has. Fewer still that adhere
closely to their high standard of pro-
duction.
There is that quality about Kuppen-
heimer Clothes, due to the expert worke
manship entering into their manufaet-
ure, which stamps the wearer “a well-
dressed man” from the day he puts the
garment on until he is ready to lay it
aside. OQuly the sixty-and-seventy-five-
dollar-custom-tailor can equal them.
