The (riumphant acquittal of Mayor Bemis of the chavges of oficial malfens ance prefereed against him in the dis trict court will be hailed with satisfac who desire to up- hold a public officer who has honestly and fearlessly endeavored to discharge the duties devolving on him.

The verdict of the court car with it also a stinging rebuke to the conspirators who sought to depose the mayor because he stood in the way of plunderers, greedy contractors and corrupt combines that seek to flch ney from the treasury and increase burdens of the taxpayers. While Mayor Bemis jeeted to ind| ud ealumny he has passed the trying ordeal ereditably to himself and undeceived the gentlemen engaged in the anti-vice crusade his alleged complicity with the lawless classes, and lly the keepers of gambling houses. It is now clearly es- tablished that whatever his shorteom: ings may be George . Bemis is an up right official who secks to disc the duties devolving on him without fear or favor and ‘n all matiers that ccme under his supervision has kept his skirts clean from the stain of bribery. His course in dealing with the soeial evil has been consistent and in accord with his con- victions as to the most effective nieans for minimizing the worst effects of vice that cannot be eradicated.
