OLYMPIA, March f3-SpsciaL-John r.
Rogers has been governor OF Washington
TWO months today. Waile this period may
be considered TOO brief in which 20 expect

tive policy by which the governor Is 10 be
judged. yet in the time named. he has
written and said enough 10 give one a pref
~ fair insight into his official character.
OF course, one of the critical tests viii be
presented when he acts on the bills that
were passed by the late, but unlamensed.
legislature.
But Gov. Rogers has afforded a number
OF Incidents which make possible an snaly-
sis Of his executive character and particu-
larry with reference 10 the political hor-
scope or course. every one knows that
the governor is looking forward TO future
advancement at the hands OF his party
with view OF relinqaishing his present
place for a scat In the United States SEN
ate. During the late senatorial campaign
many OF his own party discredited the de-
mails made by the governors friends tnat
he was an active sympathizer In the cam
paign OF George Turner. now senator from
Washington and solely for the purpose OF
forming a political alliance with the Tur-
ner wing Of the fusion party, by which 10

Ii IS however. in the later methods
which the governor has taken 10 bring this
result about and IN the entanglements In
to which he has been led that make a re-
view Of the matter interesting az this
time Since the governor was inducted
into his present office. he has. to use
striking though common expression. car
ried around = chunk OF ice in each pocket.
which he has regularly exhibited 10 the
members of his official family. II Is no.
forious that a strange GOODNESS exists be-
tween the governor and nearly every other
member OF the administration. To such
a degree has this been carried that few OF
the state officers are ever seen in the ex-
ecutive chamber. and some Of them have
never been in the inner sanctuary since the
beginning Of the administration.
or course this condition OF affairs is be-
yond all precedent, and the knowledge OF
