J. II. SCHIVELY
IS ACQUITTED
THE SOLID FOURTEEN SAVES
Acquitted on Each of Twelve
Counts Regardless of Open
Confessions of Grating and
Unfitness for Public Office.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 26.-Through
failure to receive a two-thirds ma
jority in support of the charges
against Insurance Commissioner J.
II tSchively the senate, sitting as
a court of impeachment. acquitted
the respondent tonight. The vote
on article % of the impeachment
charges stood 20 for conviction and
IA for acquittal Under the con-
stitution, two-thirds of the mem-
bers of the senate are necessary tor
a conviction, which means that %
senators must vote to support the
charges. The charge of perjury
was dropped by unanimous vote.
The special session of the legis-
lature of the state of Washington,
which convened for the purpose of
trying to impeach John H. Schive-
ly, state insurance commissioners,
on humber of counts, has adj
journed and failed to accomplish
anything further than to put the
state deeper in debt and adding to
the burdens of the taxpayers of the
state. 1t will be a long time be-
fore the people of the state will
believe that both they and SChively
got a square deal-that they have
not been protected and John H.
Schively punished, but it seems
that II senators thought other
wise, and voted for the acquittal
The vote on article "a which
charged Schively with simultan-
eously enjoying salary as deputy
insurance commissioner and presi
dent of the Pacific Livestock Asso-
citation, stood 10 for mpeachment
and IA for acquittal.
The roll call on article "a which
acquitted J. H. Schively, under
trial for impeachment, resulted as
follows:
Guilty-Allen, Anderson. Ar
rasmith, Bassett, Blair, Booth,
Brown, Bryan, Cameron. Cotterill,
Cox, Davis, FalConer, Fishback,
Fatland, Hutchinson, MCGregor,
Metcalf, Myers, Paulhamus, Pol
son, Rosenhaupt, Rydstrom Smith
son, Stevenson, Stewart-26
Not Guilty-Eastham, Hulk
table, Kline, Knickerbocker, Nc
Gowan, Minkler, Piper, Potts,
Presby, Roberts, Smith, Whitney,
Williams, Ruth-14.
Those fourteen senator's who
voted not guilty are all republi-
cans, represent strong republican
districts, but we feel safe in saying
that we hardly believe the people
of their respective districts are very
proud of them, indeed we presume
they are ashamed, if not totally
Disguised with them and if the
people of their respective districts
do them justice, and themselves
justice also, they will bury the last
mother S son of them (politically)
face downward; then the harder
they scratch the sooner they will
get home. They are no credit to
the great commonwealth of the
state as we view it, and we believe
the great mass of people of the
state take the same view of the
matter.
Schively was a self confessed
criminal and CRATER, yet fourteen
republican senators stood up and
said not So To say that the
whole affair was disgusting, dis
graceful and humiliating, hardly
expresses it, and individually, we
confess that the english language
does not furnish words to express
our disgust. But with it all, be it
said to the credit of Kittitas and
Chelan counties that their senator,
John H. Smithson of Ellensburg,
voted right and by that vote truly
represented his district.
"Can be depended upon" is an ex-
preston we all like to hear, and when
it is used in connection with Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy it means that It never fails to
cure diarrhoea, dysentery or bowel
complaints 1t is pleasant to take and
equally valuable for children and
adults. Sold by Owl Drug Store.
