February is, 1904 - Czar Nicholas' little joke: "Down on your knees, you Japanese!" ' . i When it comes to artistic mendacity it's a stand-off between the war .correspondent and the ca:npaigu . (political) liar. This is the year \or nation&i. state and county elections, and every voter should keep posted on current events bv reading his county paper. Almost everyone seems to side w* h Japan in the war bet ween that conn-1 try and Russia. The natural sympathy, we suppose, for the little man in the light. f?

The State House Scandal. For many months there have been r;inzor9 of a very persistent nature ^ I charging rottenness aud corruption i in the way the contract forrepaiting and coroplteing the Suite Capitol 4 .1 ! was carried out. ?o strong was the j % % I I suspicion of fraud and johbeiy that ( | upon the assembling of the Legislature a Committee vas appoint-d to t investigate the inuch-ialked-of mat- , ter and try to find out if there had j j b?.en any wrong doing; and. it possible, to place the blauie where it liubtlv belongs. After making a c rtiui ,1 tioti, with the a^Mance of a Coveminent architect from Washington, the committee submitted its report last week; anu, t-> put it niildlv, its " r findings have placed the building , commission n a most unenviable light. The committee showed that the work of completing the Capitol , bad Ixrn (lone in a careless ami I slovenly manner, entirely out of keeping with the original pians of i v the unfinished structure. Two mas- j five fluted columns that were in-1 eluded in the contract were left o'T I I ' entiieh, the excuse beiwr given that , ( one uf thein was broKi-flfcn-U'aiispor- J ( ration, 'i his cost in- .v late ^3,000 | and tiie building commission gen- \ ;croush excused the contractors with i a nominal of sbOO. The iron i ceiling in the old building, whi>'h is 1 . * said to have cost the St ite .*10,000, ' was taken out ami replaced by a ' cheap stamped inetal substitute, costing not over ^-lUO. The roof of ithe building came in for its <h:ir" of . * I* ;cnt)ei?m, and in fact the whole structure was condemned 1? >th <i< to the quality of the workmanship and i the material u sul. Under the terms of tiie contract T the contractors were a'lowed to an- '1 ! propria!e to themselves all of the J i old material, and it i> charged that rj i.? ~ i*_? i.i Ai.i I tne *H?,uuv ceiling was? som as urn , ! junk and converted into bridges to I ^ span the streams crossing the high- I wavs of Richland and other counties, j * ; To make the matter worse than j . # I ever the architect's bond for -7;.")t>.(>0() was returned to him by the commission and Ins work pronounced satisfactory, when altogether it seems that the *f>0.000 bond would scarcely cover the actual loss that the Stale has suffered. Naturally the report of the investigating committee has created j jj quite a sensation.
