HOW JAMES VOTED.

We have a good many complaints
from readers who are kicking because
| Senator James did not vote with the
governor in the recent matter of hold
over appointments We are
quite convinced, however that Mr..
James did not vote against the Osborn
lappointees as a rebuke to the govern
or, but rather for personal political
reasons, entirely foreign to any set
plan of antagonism of Osborn.-Min-
ing Gazette.
The Gazette apparently believes that
Senator James voted against all Of the
Osborn appointments. As a matter Of
fact Senator James supported all Of
the governors nominations with one
exception-that Of Perry F. Powers
for state labor commissioner. he vot-
ing for Dick Fletcher for that Of
fee. The Gazette is right in assum-
ing that there is no antagonism Of the
governor on part Of Senator James.
In an interview with The News yes
terday the senator explained that the
rejection of the Osborn recess ap-
pointees was due 10 precedent and per-
sonal preference Of the senators and
not the result Of any intention of OPP
posing the reforms of the new ad-
ministration. The senator denied, in
the interview. that there is any or
ganized opposition in the senate to
the governor, as generally reported,
and stated that the honest motives Of
the senate will be made evident as the
session progresses. This being true,
the people Of the state may look for
ward to the enactment of much Of the
popular legislation urged by the gov
ernor I'm his message.

DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS.

David Graham Phillips. who sue
cumbed last night TO pistol wounds in
nicted by an assassin, was one OF the
best known of that Indiana group OF
story tellers composed OF Booth Tark-
ington. Meredith Nicholson, George
AIDE. Charles Major and others who
started life between Lake Michigan
and the Ohio river A few months
over forty-three years of age. he wrote
twenty novels and many magazine ar
ticles. Some of the novels ranked
among the best selling books of fc-
ton of their year and his work was
eagerly sought by magazine publishers
He had taken rather advanced
ground on social problems when he
began TO turn out novels and pieces
for the periodicals. Harrington. AIDE,
Nicholson, and the other Indianans
whose literary work brought fame 10
them. tackled no social problems i'm
their fiction, but Mr.. Phillips wrote in
most cases with a purpose. He was
q realist who hoped to reform politics
and manners by drawing a frank and
sometimes ugly picture OF conditions
as he saw them.
Five years ago, he wrote for a mag
azine a series of articles which he call
ed The Treason of the Senate" He
assumed that many senator's We're
merely tools of large corporations and
the articles created a furore. 1t was
said some time afterwards that Mr.
Phillips derived a great part of his in
formation from an enthusiast who took
for granted evils that did not exist.
and that Mr.. Phillips, accepting the in
formation as accurate, wrote with sim
cerity and earnestness. The Treason
of the Senate" had quite a good deal
to do with the decadance of the violent
type Of muck raling.
