was much rivalry for the honor of in

GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA
REMOVED FROM OFFICE.
President Makes Frank Statement OF His
Reasons, Charging Abuse of Trust.

President Makes Frank statement Of His
Reasons. Charging Abuse of Trust.
The president has appointed Thomas
H. Ferguson governor of Oklahoma,
vice William NJ. Jenkins. removed.
In taking this action the president at
tached to the papers the following
memorandum:
Governor Jenkins of Oklahoma is
hereby removed because of his inn
proper connection with contract be-
tween the territory and the Oklahoma
Sanitarium company. The decision is
based wholly upon his own written
statements and his oral explanations
of them at the hearing.
Zone of the duties of the territorial
governor is TO enter into a contract
with some person or corporation for
the keeping of the insane of the Terri
tory. Governor Jenkins made such
contract with the Oklahoma Sanitari-
UNI company, corporation, the pro-
moters of which reserved $40. 900 of its
stock for the governor and subject to
his orders.
I'm the governors explanation of
the affairs he says he told the promot-
ers at the time they desired him to
sanction the contract that it was an
important contract; that | had some
friends who | would like to have in
terested in the company to which l
owed some obligations which | would
not be able to pay by an appointment
or anything of that kind The stock
was delivered to a banker subject to
the governors order and was turned
over to those friends whose political
services the governor had thus sought
to reward.
THE extent of the favor to the gov
ernor and his friends is suggested by
the fact that the only known sale of
the stock since the contract was given
out was at double the price paid for
it,
'As performance of the contract was
to be the sole business of the corpora
ton, it is obvious either the territory
was obliged to pay far more than the
service was worth, or that it's helpless
wards were to have the enormous
profits contemplated taken out of their
keep.
1.-THE governors cor fessed relations
to the matter displays such lack of
appreciation of the high fduciary
nature of the duties of his office as to
unfit him for their further discharge
"A sound rule of public policy and
morals forbids a particular servant
from seeking or accepting any personal
benefit in transaction wherein he has
public duty to perform.
"a chancellor would not for the mo-
ment retain trustee who, in dealings
for the trust, reserved an advantage to
himself. The thought is not to be toll
Grated that the president can be less
vigilant and exacting in the public
interest. THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
