VERY SHORTSIGHTHD

Some editors whose papers come to
our desk seem to be very shortsighted
AS soon as governor Carroll demand
ed the resignation of two members OF
the pharmacy commission because they
were grating the state for per diem
they had not earned and expenses they
had not paid these editors commenced
an attack on the governor trying to
make 1t appear that he was demand
ing designations because these men
had been appointed by Governor Cum
Minis. And in an effort to alarm the
Cover nor about his nomination next
year they commenced to bring out can
didates against him. When Mr., Goss,
of Atlantic. was charged by the COVER
ernor with graft he resigned at once.
When Mr.. Keltz, Of Webster City, was
asked to resign for the same reason he
refused and the attorney-gene de-
cided there was no law under which he
could be removed by the governor,
But the Legislature promptly passed a
law by which the executive council
can remove any appointive officer for
cause. The executive council took up
this matter last week and after cutting
Keltz's bill$ll6 stood ready to remove
him by unanimous vote. When Kelt2
learned Of the situation he resigned
without delay. Those fellows who are
after Governor Carroll because he is
after certain grafters at the Capitol
will find themselves in mighty poor
company. b. F. Carroll will be re
nominated next year notwithstanding
he may have opposition from Kelt2
and his supporters. and no republican
of good judgment will be candidate
against him.
