THE GOVERNORS POSITION.

Those members OF the legislature who in their cha
grin over the attorney generals adverse opinion with
regard to the Henderson general investigation resou-
ton said great deal about the cracking of the adj
minstration whip and attacked the governor for his
supposed opposition to study OF the plan which the
State government rum now find themselves in an IN
comfortable position.
AS The Post remarked at the time there was moth
ing upon which to base the charge that Governor Say
was afraid of the light had reason to dread a
laying bare of the details of his administration The
only question with him initiative and pro.
cedure All he had in mind was the production of re-
suits.
That The Post was correct in it's view of the COVER
nor's position has been made plain That position Is
clearly stated in the message by which the Henderson
resolution is accompanied in it's return the legisa-
ture and it is unassaiabe The governor let's the leg
isators know that he is not opposed to an invesga
ton of the State departments institutions provid
ed it is undertaken in regular way and carried on
with definite purpose In quiet and convincing Ian.
guage he shows that he has given the matter more and
closer study than it has received from those who have
Rgated IT, and that he is better qualified than they are
TO direct its handling
Though the Henderson resolution has been vetoed
the way has not been closed thorough and effective
Bearch for improved methods running the States
business On the contrary the desirabiity of making
such search has been pointed and the question of
providing therefor has submitted for the consid
sraton of the legislature by the At the same
lime he has in his veto message made suggestions the
following of which will develop information of yae
and lead TO something tangible the beterment Of
the public service. The responsibility now rests with
he legislature, and It can IL it be sincere in its desire
~ hnd out what is going in government circles at
Z gee proceed to that end
AS Governor Sayers says, mo honest official can or
will object to the most thorough critical examna
lion, at any time into his administration provided
ouch examination be conducted in open manner and
hearing be accorded him when assailed and all the
bets elicited, well those in his favor as those
neinst him. be reported, that intelligent and i'm
paaial public may be able to just conclusion
as his guilt or innocence"
Barring that in mind, the Legislature can proceed to
md ot how public money is spent in the different de-
paTtmets and institutions to the end that the egsla
ture an the executive may be fully informed as to
where expenditures may be curtaied and efficiency
promoted The legislature discover where changes

COMPOSITE RESPONSIBILITY.

1t appears to The Post, as 1t must appear to the
general public that the responsibility for the ntoler-
able condition OF affairs with regard to yagrant crimi
nails existing in this city is composite.
1t will not help matters to attempt to locate the
blame upon this or that department for the prevalence
Of lawlessness in our midst.
There is nothing to be gained by arguing over
which particular official has been at fault or in split
ting hairs which clerk chief Of department has
neglected his duty to the extent that the law has lost
its terrors for evil doors.
1t is fact that the awess element is in the saddle,
and that Houston is acquiring an unenyiabe reputation
abroad and that's enough to know.
The city administration as a whole is accountable
for this and nothing short of radical change of policy
toward the bad characters with which the municipality
is oyerrun will relieve the aggregated powers that be
Of the charge Of Indifference to the safety Of its citizens
and visitors.
The mayor can not be ignorant of what is going on
here As the head Of the city government he must feel
the disgrace attendant upon the tolerance Of such
crime within its jurisdiction. As chief executive Of
