Tkat"Fake"IIScMMfail.
The World-Herald and other less
influential papers have beon trying to
make political capital out ot ex-Chief
Oil Inspector Hays' tales concerning
bis removal from office. Gov. Mickey
has answered these charges ful'y and
fairly, and we will call attention only
to tho point which concerns the Dublin.
The legislature passed a law, wheih be-
camo olfoctivo April 10. 1903. ralsli a
tho test on coal oil from 100 to 112 de
grees. Whon tho law went Into oifiet
four caw of oil wore iu transit for this
state, arriving 11 fow days thereafter,
which tested from 7 to 10 decrees
above (ho old standard, mul vn-
near tho now standard. Thoso
cars woro passed bocauso they had
been shipped boforo tho now law went
into effect and woro so near tho re
quired tost that no groat imposition
could result to anyone Sinco that
tim no ono has claimed that the law
has not boon strictly and impartially
enforced.
Governor Mlokoy romovod J. E. Havs
from oltlco for reasons which hethouul t
s.illlciont. aud was confirmed in the
wisdom of his action whon ho found
on investigation of Hays' accounts
after his removal that ho was short
fl'Jl 80 in his accounts and had re-
mined from tho olllco which ho had
bee 1 asked to vacate certain papeis
