within the constitutional prOhlD1tl0n,
but that officers in cities, appointive or
elective, under laws of the state which
impose duties in relation to state af
fairs, may be said to hold office under
the state.
The language of the state constitu
ton on this subject is as follows: mo
member of congress nor any person
holding office under the United States
or this state, shall execute the office Of
governor"
The court says: I'VE do not recall
case or a reason that has been given
that will satisfactorily explain why a
mayor of city can hold the executive
Office of governor, when an incumbent
Of the lowest township Office is prohib-
tied therefrom."
On the question of incompatibility
the supreme court says: 1T is a uni
versal rule that when incompatibility
exists in the latter office it vacates the
first office. For violation of some of the
duties of mayor that officer might be
removed by the governor. We have
been unable to find any decision to the
effect that one person may hold two
Offices in one of which he is clothed
with power to remove the person hold
ing the other"
Upon the contention which was urged
that the approval Of the people (Which
is law was evident in the tremendous
majority which Pngree received as
governor, the court says: I'm law the
effect OF the election Of Mr.. Pngree,
and his acceptance of the Office of gov
ernor operated to vacote the office Of
mayor, a court that would weigh ma
joritles which expressed the will OF peo-
pie before SO declaring would deserve
impeachment and contumely."

THAT MINING INCIDENT,
o the Editor Of The Post.

To the Editor Of The Post.
No more deplorable tragedy ever oc-
CURED In the United States than the re-
cent shooting Of miners by deputy sheriffs
in Pennsylvania.
Statements are OF course conflicting. but
the weight of evidence seems to be that
the miners were not trespassing on for
hidden grounds, nor in any way violating
the law. The sheriff alleges that they
made threatening demonstrations and fred
the first shot. Admitting for the sake of
argument that this is true, there arises
a question Of law aud personal right.
which, while important. should not be
difficult Of solution. II the miners were
violating the law or disobeying any proper
order OF the court. or resisting Lawful,
authority, 1t was the duty OF the sheriff
TO use all lawful means to enforce obedi-
ence to the law. and II In a proper manner
