GIVES GOVERNOR POWER
TO REMOVE OFFICIALS

With the amendment that sherlffs,
prosecuting attorneys and constables
may have day in court before being
ousted by the governor for not proper
ly attending to their official duties, the
McColloch bill, giving the governor
greater power over such officials will
be reported for passage, The bill is
In the hands Of q subcommittee ap-
pointed to revise the bill and will be
reported into the judicial committee.
1t is believed Thompson, one Of the
subcommittee Members, will object
even to the revised text. Butler and
McColloch will approve.
Under the provisions Of the bill the
governor may start proceedings
against any officer whom he considers
is not doing his duty, the action to be
taken before the circuit Judge of the
district or Of an adjoining district.
II the allegations are found to be
true the officer may be ousted from
his office, or have another officer sub
stltuted in his place, for a period of 80
days While there was strong objec-
ton to weakening the bill by providing
for court hearings, It is considered
that this provision will have the effect
OF causing officials to take greater
care in attending to their duties to
avoid any possibility Of being hailed
into public court

Olympia, Wash, Feb. 6.-Progres-
siyes are today enjoying their first real
victory in the house In spite of its
decidedly antagonistic attitude less
two weeks ago, when Representative
Houser, Progressive, made his sensa-

is substantia'ing his contention that
the state should attempt to recover
property now valued at about $780,
100000, which Houser charged had
been stolen from the state.
The Sumner "hush' committee, ap-
pointed by Taylor to sQuelch the Hou-

The bill provides for an appropria-
tlon Of S50,0O0 for the first two years.
After that period the funds created by
the commission are expected to be suf-
ficiently large to care for the de-
mands for compensation by injured
workmen. Three commissioners will
be appointed by the governor for four
years each at salaries of $360O will
have charge of the fund and its oper-
ations.
The bill provides that employers
who do not wish to take advantage of
the law shall so state in writing to
the commission by June 10, following
the taking effect OF the law, and they
shall then be personally liable for ac-
cidonts to their employees apd for
their deaths.
A faction Of organized labor is OPP
posed to the bill in It's present form,
and It was this faction that Upton and
Murnane represented in casting their
votes against the bills passage

THE FINANCIAL GENIUS.

nT is a common answer to the crit
icism of the wealthy to say,
"You and everybody else had the
same opportunity" This means that
every man in the United States had
the same opportunity to absorb wealth
as Rockefeller, Carnegie and every
other rich man. This same argument
is used as an excuse for the laws per-
mitting the accumulation of these
tremendous fortunes. Theoretically
the statement is true, but practically
1t Is about as far from the truth as 1t
well could be. The trouble in dealing
with the question of money making Is
that we fail to classify the money
maker, the financier as a genius. The
money-making faculty is as much "a
gift Of the Gods" as the ability to
write verse, or yoke together in di-
vine harmony the infinite spirits Of
sound. 1t Is as much a gift, trait, as
that which gilds the tongue Of the or
ator, inspires the brush of the ar
tist, or stirs the wonderful brain of
the inventor. The money-making gift
like those is of the realms of genius.
General Sherman was a military gen.
ius; that is the reason he won victor
- ~
had the same opportunities, but
they did not have the same genius.
Rockefeller "had the same opportuni-
ty" as John G. SAKE to write the inim-
able verse, and SAKE chad the same
opportunity as Rockefeller to corral
coal oil" yet SAKE wrote verse, while
Rockefeller wrote checks, each fol-
lowing the bent of his genius. To say
they had the same opportunity is RI
diculous, for neither had the genius or
the gift by which he could do what
the other did. Every American, every
Democratic American, "had the same
opportunity to be elected president
OF the United States that Woodrow
Wilson had, yet they were not elected,
and most Of them could not have been
under any circumstances. Nor, for that
matter, could Wilson himself, had It
not been for the combination of cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll, that made him available as a can
didate.
Shakespeare's contemporaries "had
the same opportunity" to write his
magnificent tragedies, but none OF
them did It unless It was Bacon. SO
had the contemporaries of Michael
Angelo and Leonardo da Vinci the
same opportunity to create pictures
that they had. Croesus had as much
genius as the famed men mentioned,
but his was a financial, not a poetic
or artistic genius, It is so today and
the fact that Rockefeller, Morgan and
that class of men are gifted with won
derful financial or money-maling
genius, is no excuse for permitting
them to do so at the expense Of the
balance OF the people of America who
"haye the same opportunities" It will
be seen, even from this slight exam
inotion into the matter, that It is not
n question of opportunity, but OF
genius, Plenty Of men who have but
little education and are not bright, in
broad way are natural money-mak-
ers, and hundreds, artists, poets, his
torians, generals, statesmen, profound
ly wise in many ways are absolutely
devoid OF the money-mating genius.
The making Of money does not indi-
cate brlllancy Of intellect, II shows
only the genius along that line, only
with which the money-maker is gifted.

Murphy is a better card than ever.
and he won't be a 10 to shot the
next time the match is on, if it ever is
made. Although Ritchie's excuse
looks like a plausible one. still the
majority of the sports are inclined to
the belief that he was attacked with
frozen extremities at the eleventh
hour and deliberately passed I'D his
meeting with the boy from Harlem.
The champion is still under treat

says that he Will not be able to do any
work for at least two weeks If he is
IN position to so at the grind then,
1t looks as though Coffroth ought to
be able to stage the battle some time
during the latter part of next month.
He is still willing to take a chance
against the weather.
Murphy and Buckley say that they
have gone the whole route and that
they will call everything off If the
champion does not come to terms this
afternoon. Murphy wants to get back
TO his family in New York, while

is billed to battle with Arthur Pelkey
