LET IN THE LIGHT!
(Omaha World-Herald.)
At last Nebraska has found use for
a state sheriff.
It is to save a small portion of the
records of the state engineering de
partment from the scrutiny of so com
petent an authority as O. V. P. Stout,
former dean of the engineering col
lege of the University of Nebraska.
Apparently the department is within
its rights. The records, it is said,
were abstracted from the files by a
discharged employe and turned o' er to
State Auditor Marsh and State Sen
ator Epperson, who in turn entrusted
them to the keeping of the cxpe.-t.
If this is what happened th pro
ceedings were irregular.
Dut what has transpired since will
not dull the appetite of the public, for
a searching investigation of the whole
record, made in due and proper form
and under the authority and protection
of the courts.
If there is anything In the puMic
records of the state of Nebraska that
any official is concerned in 'overing;
up, then there is something that tho
taxpaying public equally conccinetl
in having uncoveied.
I.t the inve--tigat;on proceed, l.on
estlv and fearlessly.
Fi -h are coming out of a California
oil well, according to dispatches. Lots
of poor fish wish they could get cut
of wild-cat oil wells as well off us
thev went in. Houston Chronicle.
The war was the biggest crime wave
in the world's history, and the crime
waves which are troubling the world
to-day are merely the following rip
