Busy Electing a Democratic Governor.

Busy Electing q Democratic Governor.
There seems to be complaint
throughout the State that Public Ex-
aminer johnson did not investigate
and make some report Of the State
Insurance Commissioners depart
ment. It now developes that Commits
sioner Dearth has been receiving
S25, 900 or more year in fees from
the office. While Mr.. Dearth had a
perfect right under the existing order
of things to all fees he received. the
Interests of the State ought to have
prompted Examiner johnson to have
acquainted himself with the situation
some years ago and laid the facts be-
fore the legislature for action. The
facts are, however, that Mr.. johnson
was so busy trying to help elect a
Democratic governor that he had no
time to look after the welfare of the
State.-Long Prairie Leader.

of the law firm, which is one of the strongest and most influential in the Indian Teritory, came to Washington and somehow convinced the President and attorney-generals that they were being unjustly treated. Still later an order went from Washington to United States Attorney Johnson, by whose eff forts the indictments had been pro- cured, that steps be taken to have them auashed This order Johnson refused to obey, standing on his rights as a legal officer of the Government, who had taken an oath to see that the law was enforced in his district. The mat ter came to a crisis a few days ago, when it was found that Johnson ad- hered stubbornly to his determination not to attempt to have the indictments quashed.
 -viH Not He Reappointed.
 Then the Presid mt ordered his sum- mary removal from office. This order was made public last night, but was better to get rid of Johnson by allow ing him to serve to the end of his term on January If, and then refuse him a reaopointmenE
 The case has attracted much atten- tion among Southwestern Senators and members. It is probable there will be discussion of it in the Senate sooner or later. Some Senators regard it as one of the most striking cases of attempted executive interference with a co-ordi nate brsnch yet developed.

Honesty as Taught in Business.

The COmHlOHeF.
 Fifteen or twenty years ago Bill Smith was well known character In Missouri town whose name need not be mentioned here. Bill was colored boy, who roamed the streets at will. One day he found a pocketbook con taining $40, and the owners name was stamped on the book.
 But Bill burned the pocketbook and spent the $40 in riotous living. Of course, 1t was found out and Bill was arrested, tried and found guilty, and sent to the penitentiary for two years. He served his time and when he emerg- ed he knew something about making shoes. The day he returned to his home town an old acquaintance met him and asked:
 Well, and what did they put you at in the prison, Bill?"
 "Dey started in to make an honest boy outn me. sah.'"
 ''Thats good, Bill, ana I hope they succeeded"
 "Dey did, sah."
 And how did they teach you to be honest, Bill?"

FEARED THE SENATE.
Recalls the Order Encroaching on Co.,
 ordinate Branch.

Washington Special.
 Behind the brief announcement from the White House today that William B. Johnson would not be removed from the office of United States attorney for the Southern district of Indian Terri tory, but would not be reappointed, turks a remarkable story of alleged presidential interference with a legal officer of the Government. Today s announcement about the matter, there is good reason to believe, was a sober second thought, due to an appreciation of the fact that if the original intention to remove Johnson was adhered to by the administration. it would find a speedy echo in the Senate in the form of another in the series of debates on executive encroachment on coordinate branches of the Government.
 As a fact, Johnsons removal was or dered yesterday, and this was duly chronicled in the. press dispatches, but later a request came from high sources that the announcement be cancelled.
 Refused to Obey Order.
 It is said Johnson's offense consisted in refusing to obey an order from Washirgto to have quashed certain indi >tments found by he Federal grand jury in the Southern district of Indian Territory. These indictments were against the law firm of Mansfield, McReynolds & Cornish on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the Chickasaw Indians in connection with school land warrants. The indictments were re- turned last summer. Later, members

PRECOCIoUs INDIANA.
Voted for President Before She Was
 Admitted Into the Union.


 Hartford Courant.
 Monday was the eighty-nlnth anni- versary of Indiana's admission to the Union, and the occasion recalls the fact that Indiana has the unique distinction of having voted for President before It became 8 member of the family or states. In June, 1916, Indiana adopted A state Constitution, but was not ad- mitted to the Union until December II. In the meantime, on November 4, the first Legislature met at Corydon. Indi- anians have been precocious from the first. and the members of this Legisla- ture had no thought of letting little matter like the fact that what they called the State was not really State interfere with their voting for James Monroe and Daniel D. Tompkins for President and Vice-President respect iveIy, As The Indianapolis News, which tells the story, puts it, Indiana poilti- clans wanted to get in on the ground floor.
 On November II, exactly month be- fore Indiana was admitted to the union the Legislature adopted joint resoiu- tfon. '"That 1t is expedient to provide at this time for the election of three electors to vote for President and Vice. president of the United States of Amer lea at the ensuing Presidential cleo tion This was approved by the Gov ernor and two days later Jesse s. Hol- man, Gen. Joseph Bartholomew and Thomas H. Blake were chosen electors by the Legislature. this being the method in all the States at that time. While these electors were chosen be- Fore the State was admitted, their vote was not cast until few days after the admission. Indiana's right to vote was disputed when the National House and Senate met to open and count the votes, hut the new State finally won the de- cision.

DowIE NEAR DEATH.
Reifnqufshes Power at Zion City To Seek Health,
Washington Star.

Washington Star.
 John Alexander Dowie has abdicated. He has placed the government of Zion City and the spiritual and tenn poral welfare of his followers the world over in the hands of Overseer J. G. Speicher, Deacon Alexander Gran ger and Judge V. V. Barnes Though he asserts that he has healed thous- ands, Dowie Is having all he can do to cling to life. He is suffering from paralysis and bronchitis.
 Dowie's condition is no more help less than that of Zion City. While industrial prosperity is seen in all the surrounding towns, the industries of Zion City have languished. The lace factory is closed and the other fac- tories are running with few orders. Zion City's population has dropped now. Dowie win leave tomorrow for long trip to the Bahamas in the hope of regaining health.
 The notice of the transfer of power was, made yesterday in Shiloh Temple in Zion City, after communication was read from Dowie Tn which he said: This is perhaps Gods judgment on me for too much contralization In Zion"
 Overseer Speicher announced the ap- pointment of the triumvirs. The prop erty interests which must be con- served amounts to about $15,000, 900, in all parts of the world. Of this Zion City represents $10,000.000. which has depreciated and is mortgaged for al- most It's present market value. His followers are anxious and excited.
 In an editorial in The Leaves of Healing Dowie says:
 Great discomfort has come to me this week through the swelling of my limbs and impeded circulation of my blood. All the hemorrhages have apparently passed away from my bronchial tubes, but the inconvenience and pressure upon the heart and lungs have been such that sleep has been denied me except for a fsw fitful hours.
