II is probable that at least three MEM
bers of General Dawson's force will
participate in the trial of the case when
if is called for hearing. Attorney Cen
eral Dawson will himself participate in
the defense and will probably be as

An immediate trial will probably be
demanded by the defense. 1t is believed
that the issues in the case can be l-lade
up and the case brought to trial some
time in June, possibly earlier.
The charges against the governor are
based upon an alleged attack upon Mrs.
West when she visited the governors
private office April 8. accompanied by
Mrs BuckwaIter. The women had been
in Topeka several days. urging the
parole of Arthur Sullivan, sent to prison
from Sedgwick county for assaulting a
|16-year-old girl and subsequently at
lacking her with, knife. Members of
the Wichita w. c. T. U. had opposed
the granting of parole.
During to stay Of the women in To-
peka. they induced Sam Seaton, par
don and parole clerk, to give them
copies of certain letters and protests
on file in the office. The women went
before the governor with these d0cu-
ments. Governor Hodges refused to
permit the papers to be taken from
his office. 1t was then that Mrs West
seized the letters and the alleged as
sault by the governor is claimed to
| have occurred.
Governor Hodges denied the charges
! of the West woman. Adjutant General
! Charles /. Martin and e. G. Hopkins.
| state free employment agent, were in
| the office at the time. Both deny the
| charges of Mrs. West. They assert
/ that the governor did not seize Mira.

with Mrs West. tells about the same
story as her friend in regard to the
affair in the governors office.

Whether or not Alexander ]. Coop

matter between him and them. Mr..

utterly improbable that he could be
elected governor on the Progressive

that anybody who thinks the Pro

oreson's Storm of Noes.s

1t is not paradoxical to say that "di-
rect legislation" by means of the in
itiative and referendum has been
strengthened in Oregon by the over
whelming defeat at the recent eleo-
ton of nearly all of the 20 measures
submitted to the electorate. The bal
loting proved to be a terrific storm of
noes from one end of the state to the
other, with the result that a few
really rneritorious proposals were lost
along with the most freakish and OBJ
jectionable. The voters were in no
mood to vote for anything, apparently
except the prohibition Of the saloon.
Two normal school bills suffered the
same fate as the universal eight-hour
law and the constitutional amendment
abolishing the upper branch of the
Legislature.
The Oregon voters showed little dis
elimination or intelligence. it will be
said, in making such clean sweep OF
the 80 initiative and referendum
measures on the ballot. But the sig
nificance of their mood is that they
were obviously determined to rebuke
the pestilential tendency to overload
the ballot and overwork the voters.
The mo- sentiment was In the air.
says the Portland Oregonian, and
there can be no doubt that it was d.
rected chiefly against those expert
mentors, professional propagandists
and shallow minded busybodies who
though processing a profound admira-
ton for the principle Of direct legisla-
ton, have. done more to bring 1t into

We agree with our exchange that
wood alcohol should be labelled pol
son." We are going it one better by
demanding that ALL alcohol be label
led poison and bear the skull and
cross bones prominently. We believe
that anything containing alcohol
should be labelled poison, and the
percentage given. A famous medical
scientist declares that he is not aware
of any medical connection in which
alcohol is necessary, or any in which
ii could not with advantage be re-
placed by some less dangerous drug.
If then 1t is dangerous in the hands
of medical men, why should not every
drop of It carry solemn warning to
any who might use It? Yes, as our
Boston neighbor urges Of wood alco-
hol, we would have it driven from use
altogether.

Public UtiIities Interpretation.
portland Expressly

portland Expressly
Bangor has not decided whether the
Public Utilities act now In effect bars
policemen and firemen in uniform
from riding free on the street cars
The Bangor Railway & Electric Co
has as yet rendered no decision and
has issued no orders changing the
past ruling which permits officers and
members of the fire department the
privilege Of free transportation. An
official of the company says there is
a State law which conflicts with the
Public Utilities act, law which per-
mits policemen and firemen to ride
free and that his company is acting
under that law.
In this end of the State the street
railroad companies take a different
view. In Lewiston and in this city
the officials have cut off all free trans
portation except to employees not
because they would not favor a GER
tain few who might seem deserving
of free transportation, but because
under the new act, they have no al
tentative. The Public Utilities law, as
we interpret 1t, makes it criminal
offense for Main street railroad
company to grant passes to any per-
sons other than its employees. So II
seems that quite a few who have In
the past been riding free must here
after produce the customary nickel IN
return for transportation.

Buffalo. with population of AIS. 900

The proposition to make the change
was carried at the recent election by

The new system has been reported
as working we'll in Dayton, with u.s.
600 inhabitants, and in Galveston, with
$4,000 Inhabitants, but from Jersey
City. with 2S0,ooo inhabitants, come
complaints that 1t has failed in some
respects to meet expectations.

best way to transact the business of
American cities efficiently and eco
