Show Arkansas is to be invwtigatul.now. Its ring of Federal officials has long been suspected of tricks that were dark and deeds that were anything but vain, Bince they have availed to line the pockets of their promoters with perquisites without limit. Manufactured Man-ufactured claims,- bogus arrests of bogus persons, bogus witnesses, bogus fees, bogus warrants and bogus mileage mil-eage charges have each and all been worked in there to the greatest advantage ad-vantage to "do the most good," until at last the iniquity has become so great that, an '1 nves titration has been forced. This is a favorable sign. Let Utah's ring be put through the course after Arkansas has been properly ventilated; or before, for that matter, and there will be occasion to believe that corruption is fairly at a discount. |
