Governor Baldwin Vetoes Highway
 Appropriation Bill
Continued from Page 1.)

nthis State a question as to the re- moval of a public officer will seldom be one as to which the part of req sonable and distinterested men exer- cising a dispassionate judgment there could be but one answer. But it will ultima tely be a matter of opinion to be formed after considering conflict ing views. The official removed will seldom be satisfied with the result and it would be strange if some of his friends did not view it in the same way
 If removal by a superior executive officer, the action be defended in the questions are generally discussed. A judge, on the contrary, after giving his decision, can not with propriety, take part in the discussion of it's mer- it's. He ought not to be placed in the position which would invite it.
 3-These sections have never been considered in committee but were in serted as rider in an appropria- ton bill avowedly for the purpose of protecting one particular executive of ficial from responsibility to the su- preme executive power. He is an of ficial whose term of office has ex- pired and he claims to hold over be- cause no successor has been appoint ed, two nominations of a successor having been sent in and rejected by the Senate. Why should he be shell tered with such ''Sacro sanct'' and privileged from all accountability when every other commissioner re- mains subject to the governors pow CT? Is this hot special legislation of the extremest type? Is the only state official who annually spends millions of the public moneys to be also the only one immune from the liability of removal attaching to such officials generally?
 Several complaints have come to me during my term of office charging the present highway commissioner have not, as yet, thought any of them were such as would require me to in augurate proceedings under the statute which this bill seeks in part to repeal. But if, hereafter, charges of this nature are made which should seem to me or to my successor in of flee to call for such proceedings ought the investigation of these charges be transferred to the judicial depart ment and the result of such judicial inquiry be made binding upon the executive department ? I ought not be satisfied that the fact ascertained and reported by judge of the su- periOr court in such a proceeding was such as to justify me in deeming 1t proper to order the removal of the commissioner. And yet this bill, if enacted, would in such case, require me to remove him, making me in this, the more passive agent of the judges discretionary will.
 For these reasons I return the bill for your further consideration. Simeon E. Baldwin, Governor.
 The veto was tabled in the House, this afternoon.

WEALTHY JUDGE CR0SSCUP WILL
 RESIGN OCT. l
Neither LaborO Organizations Nor Socialists Will Shed Any Tears Over His
 Retirement
He It Was Who Set Aside $29,OOO,OOO Fine Against Oil Trust and Imprisoned Debs.
fsnecial from IJnited press.,

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Chicago, Sept. 19-Peter s. Cross States Circuit Court of Appeals of the 7th district, announced, today, that he would resign about October 1, 1911 and resume the practice of law in Chicago. The announcement created great surprise in legal circles.
 Among Judge Grosscup's notable decisions are his opinion On the appli- cation to close up the worlds Colum- bian Exposition on Sundays and the injunction issued by, him in connec- tion with Judge Wood against Flu gene V. Debs and other officers of the American Railway Union and the sub- sequent proceedings, which included the imprisonment of Debs. Probably the most notable, however, tn which he acted, was the setting aside of the S29, 100000 fine imposed by Judge Lan- dis on the Standard OH Company, which decision was prepared and read by Judge ~Grosscup.
 Judge Grosscup said his resignation was based on the ground that after the first of the year the new law governing court procedure would be in effect and his work would be en- tirely changed, to an extent that he would take up a line of work that would necessarily be involved and keep him on the bench for years un- less he could see his way clear to turn over the urlcompleted work to his successor.
 Judge Grosscup is considered to be very wealthy, having large corpora tion connections and possesses inter- urban and street railway property He is the object of bitter attacks, espe- cially from the Socialistic and labor press.
 Judge Grosscup was born in Ash land, O., in 1852 and was appointed to the United States district bench in 1882 and elevated to the circuit bench in 1899.

 TRANSFER OF LICENSE

The county commissioners received word this morning that a remon- strance would be filed against the ap- plication of P. J. McGuire who wants to transfer a liquor license from 1911 Main street to AT Gregory street. At torneys Garfield, Judson & Pullman represent the remonstrants. Many attempts have been made to establish a saloon in this vicinity, but the com 1nissioners have turned down all ap- plications in recent years because of the strong opposition made by manu- lecturers in the neighborhood. It is probable that McGuire's application will be withdrawn.

Not the Answer He Expected.

Whitefeld, whose dramatic appeals
to his listeners were always a note
worthy part of his sermon, once preach
ed to a body of seamen in New York.
In the course of his sermon he intro
duced the following words:
well, my boys we have a clear sky
and are making fine headway over a
smooth sea before light breeze. and
we shall soon lose sight of land; but
what means this sudden lowering of the
heavens and that dark cloud rising from

see those Hastings of lightning? Where
is a storm gathering! Every man to
his duty! How the waves rise and dash
against the ship! The air is dark!
The tempest RACES! Our masts are
gone! The ship is on her beam ends
What next?"
The hands of every sailor were grip
ping the pews in front of them and a
wild excitement was in their eyes. And
when the preacher reached the climax
of his dramatic speech they sprang to
their feet in a body and should: "rake

There Were No More.

When a noted Irish orator was in
America few years ago, he appeared
at meeting in st. Louis and delivered
an address on the subjectof "Home Rule
for Ire1and.'' There were 5000 of his
countrymen in the audience. At the
close of his remarks the chairman asked
''Wou1d anyone like to ask the speak
er question:"
A man in the rear of the hall, who was
quite evidently under the influence of
liquor, arose and said: will the gent
1eman tell me if there is any reason why
the Irish should not be wiped off the face

Immediately pandemonium reigned

policemen and, torn and bleeding and
in an unconscious condition, was placed
in an ambulance which had been called.
Order was in a measure restored.
While the audience could still hear the
clatter of the ambulance and the sound
of its gong as it conveyed it's burden to
the hospital, the chairman stepped for
ward and asked: Would anybody
