Burton Dictates the Appointment.

The bill creating the judicial place in southern
Ohio was passed by Senator Foraker's aid mem
ber of the judiciary committee of the senate, and
claimed to have the promise of President Roosevelt
that his man for the place. John j. Adams, would be
appointed But, after the bill passed, Mr.. Bur-
ton went the White House and told the president
that the appointment of Adams would be the carry
ing out of political "deal' made by Foraker and
Dick He explained that at the Dayton state repub
lican convention there was fight made by Senators
Dick and Foraker for as strong endorsement of
their senatorial careers there embodied in the
resolutions for the national administration Some
fine and bitter poitcs played. Representative
Burton and friends of Mr. Taft opposed the senator's
in their wish. Finally the Fifteenth congressional
district gave its strength to the Foraker Dick combi
nation, and the senators won. Mr. Burton told the
president that this delegation delivered by two
relatives of Mr.. Adams named Black, who did so
with the understanding that Adams would get the
federal judgeship when created. The president, it
ia said by the Foraker people, sought excuse for
turning their man down. Foraker wrote letter to
the president in which he said that the Burton story
had come to his attention. He denied that there
was the least foundation for it, He said he had not
talked with Adams for ten years about otIos

yited an impartial inquiry into the character and
qualifications of Adams. The that

Prosecuting State Printer johnson

Once again the indictment against J. W. johnson,
supervisor of public printing, Pattson appointee,
has been knocked out--ths time it is thought for
good While the prosecutor has appealed to the
Supreme Court, no lawyer familiar with the case,
anticipates reversal of the lower court
The charge against Johnson, that of writing let
ters to the circuit judges urging them not to restore
the Office of public printer to Slater, who was seek
ing restoration the ground that Governor Pattson
was mentally incapactated, positively absurd
No one believed Johnson guilty of writing the let
ters, but the contrary most persona inclined to
the opinion that the authorship rested with the band
of ,litica pirates who bounded and harassed Gov
ernor Pattson from the day of his election to the
of peace since his induction into office, and his
friends wondering what new form the persecu-
tion will now assume The suits have not only been
embarrassing and humiiating to Mr.. Johnson, but
expensive. Paying Columbus lawyers is not mini
mum charge They do not defend the accused high
officials for nothing. The quashing of the indict-
nent has been followed by shower of congratula-
tons from all parts of the state from Republicans
as we'll as Democrats. Every honest citizen wants
to Johnson Finley and Creamer out their
regular terms to which they were duly appointed
and duly confirmed The perseoutions heaped upon
Mr. Johnson by his pin head predecessor Slater, has
relegated the latter to the realms of unrecoverabe
obscurty.

40. Possibly the right weather
man was hot called to attend
April, 1881, for when five days
old it broke all records by getting
the register down to 10. The
"warm member" came in 1896,

Jack Frost usually makes his
farewell bow when April is in

announcements of his appearance,
but the 10th is about his average
though his adieu has been post
