Why did 1\11' . Hays seek to put
a club in the hands of 1\11' . Ruth ?
The conversation above referred -
.
ed to was overheard and can be
verified by witness.
'When 1\11' . Hays relil1qmshQd
the oi ce of chief oil inspector
he was short in his accounts. .
At my instigation m } ' chief clerk
overhauled the accounts of his
oflice and found that Hays was
short to the amount of $124.80.
Further than that , he ( Hays )
had taken away from the office
every receipt from the state
treasurer taken by him during
his administration. 'Vhen approached -
preached on the subject he professed -
fessed ignorance and could give
no good reason for taking the receipts - !
ceipts away from the office but
was compelled to admit the sh9rt-
age. 'l'he money in question
dropped out of sight , so far as
the exchequer of the state is concerned -
cerned , between July 31st and
September 30th , 1902. 'Vhen
Mr. Hays saw that he was u'p
against it he settled his shortage ,
, and was very glad to get ou t of
it so easily , by giving to the
State 'l'reasurer his personal
, , check for $124.80 , as is evidenced
. by a receipt now on file in the
l" office of the chief oil1l1spector , of
which the following is a copy :
Lincoln , Nebr. , May 25 , 1903.
No. 30409.
Received of James E. Hays ,
Ex-Oil Inspector , one hundred
twenty-four and 80-100 dollars.
Peter Mortensen ,
Sta te 'l'reasurer.
'fo say the least , the State of
Nebraska was benefitted by a
change of chief oil inspector to
the extent of $124.80 , which
money was illegally retained by
1\11' . Hays.
'l'he foundation of all the statements -
;
ments made in this article is my
\ own personal observation , the records -
. - cords of the state ofiices involved
and the evidence of witnesses
, \ knowing to the facts. In conclu-
I slOnl assert that the inferences
, and conclusions drawn in 1\11' .
Hays' "Coal Oil Scandal" circulat
, - .
are false and misleading in every
particular. '
I was not in a "conspiracy tc
protect the Standard Oil monopo'
ly. "
I did not permit the "Standa1' ( '
Oil Company to name the in ,
specters , " neither did that com'
pany or any other oil com pan )
ever show a disposition to wan
to name them.
The "oil " is
inspection" not <
" . "
"shameful farce.
I invite scrutiny of my ever
ofiicial act in connection witl
thi's matter and with all othe
matters pertaining to my admin

istration and am wilting to abide
by the judgment of the people
when they have had opportunity
to weigh the facts.
In this connection it should be
borne in mind that our oil inspection -
tion law provides a test for im-
flammability only. and not for
quality. In other words , our law
proVides for perfectly safe oil but
does not necessarily provide for
oil free from solids and such other
imperfections as would detract
from its illuminating qualities.
Poor burning oil does not necessarily -
sarily mean unsafe oil. It is not
my fault that the law provides
for a test of inflammability only
and not for quality as well. I do
not make the laws. It is simply
my duty to execute them as I find
theln. 'fhe Hays circular seeks
to hold me responsible for omissions -
ions of the law in the matter of a
quality test.

To make the "local option"
plan more optional , the Nebraska
Anti-Saloon leag-ue , has drafted
a bill which it will have introduced -
duced at the session of the legislature -
lature this winter. This will
apply to those counties where
the villages have been fighting
with the liquor problem. Under
the theory that the residents of
the entire county are effected by
the existence of the saloon in the
village as much as those inside
the corporate Hunts , the advocate
has drawn up the bill to give
such county residents the powers
of the ballot on the vote for or
against licensed liquor selling.
Said Mr. Darnall :
"The new law will not interfere -
fere in the l'ast with the operation -
tion of the Slocumb law , nor docs
it affect the local optiol\ law fur-
thh than to supplement it. I
have the bill drawn up and it
will be introduced at the uext
session of the legislature. 'Vhen
the question is once referred to
the people , the law also stipulates
that another submission to popular -
lar vote sl1a11 not be made inside
of four years. This stipulation
is made so that the liquor element -
ment will uot be nagging the
temperance people all the time ,
after once being turned down.
Petitions signed by one-tenth of
the residents of the county must
be secured before the question
can be submitted , under the proposed -
posed law. " \
Mr. Darnall has just retuned
from a trip to the western part
of the state in the interest of the
league. .
'fhe Nebraska Farmer has the
following to say of Dr. Brenizer's
cattle at the state fair :
Dr. J. G. Brenizer , Broken Bow ,
Neb. , got 3rd premium on his 2-
year-old heifer , Orange Blossom
of Hebron , in a strong class at
Ule State Fair last week. This
heifer had not been specially fitted -
ed for the show , but was shown
in her every day dress ; otherwise
she would have gone higher.
However , she is a splendid young
cow and is a credit to any herd ,
and next year you may expect to
see her out again , as well as some
other good ones that are coming
on up at the reni er Shorthorn
ranch.
