He Called L" Cats"

There was an old lady who rented q
furnished villa for the summer, and
with the villa large dog also went. In
the sitting room of the villa there was
q very comfortable arm chair. The
old lady liked this chair better than
any other in the house. She always
made for it the first thing.
But, alas! she nearly always found
the chair occupied by the large dog.
Being afraid of the dog. she never
dared bid il harshly to get out of the
chair, as she feared that it might bite
her; but Instead she would 60 to the
window aud call "Catsp
Then the dog would rush to the
window and bark, aud the old lady
would slip into the vacant chair quiet
ly.
One day the dog entered the room
and found the old lady in possession of
the chair. He strolled over to the
window, and, looking out, appeared
very much excited, and set up q tre-
mendous barking.
The old lady rose and hastened to
the window to see what was the matter
and the dog quietly climbed into the
chair.

| it is a mistake in our machinery of
| government to hold an executive re-
| sponsible for the efficiency and honesty
| of officials and at the same time de-
prive him of the power of removal, or
| force him to share this with body
which is not constantly in a position
to act, and ordinarily is in existence
only once in every two years. True,
experience shows the necessity for a
check on both the power of appoint
ment and removal. But our form of
government permits the machinery of
appointment to move between sessions
of the senate, but not that of removal.
This condition places your executive
in an awkward position and no salts
factory solution has yet been found.
The sober second thought of this COM
munity viii, believe, justify and sus-
tain an executive who assumes the
power of removal between sessions of
the Senate, just so long as that power
is not abused, for you can not have
high standard of official service with
out it.

NEW OFFICIALS GET
BUSY At ONCE

Governor Frear and Secretary Mott
Smith took possession of their new of
fetal quarters in the Capitol yesterday
afternoon, the Governor moving his phi
vate belongings into the Robin IS Egg
Blue Chamber and the Secretary being
instructed in the use of the various
push buttons on the top of the desk
so long used by Secretary Atkinson in
the outer chamber. Nothing much in
the way of official business was trans
acted, both officials moving around and
getting into touch with the labor-sav-
ing devices installed. During the after
noon the Governor visited the Judici-
airy building and babe farewell to the
various court clerks and the others
about the halls of Justice.
The first official business of the Gov
ernor was to appoint Charles r. He
menway as Attorney General. He next
directed that letters be addressed to
the other heads of departments, inform
ing them officially that their jobs were
safe for the time being The resigna-
tlons of the various heads have been
coming in to him for the past few
weeks, the first one received being that
of L. E. Pinkham, bearing date of June
p, last. The others were dated as
follows: w. E. Wall. June 20; j. H.
Fisher and H. G. Meyers, July g; A. j.
Campbell, August 19, and c. S. Hollo-
way, VIM. Henry and Jas. w. Pratt,
August 10, yesterday.
The Secretary's first work toward
earning his three hundred a month was
to issue the By Authority notices pub
lished yesterday, one announcing that
Walter f. Frear was Governor and
the other that new Attorney Gen
eral had been chosen and had qualified.
During the afternoon but one caller
came to pay his respects to the new
Governor, that being Sheriff Curtis
Iaukea.
Shortly after four o'clock a cabled
announcement of the formal taking of
office of Governor Frear was despatch
ed to the Secretary of the Interior, at
Washington.
