Mr.. Breen in 1921, he made the race
for one Of the Judges OF the Circuit

vene the Legislature on extraordinary
occasions. AT extraordinary sessions
no subject shall be acted upon except
such as the Governor may recommend
for consideration (See Article A.
Section 4, New York State Constitu-
tion.) Certainly, Gov. Sulzer did not
recommend his impeachment, and
when the impeachment court over
ruled the law and this provision Of
the Constitution, in order to oust Gov.
Sulzer from Office, it was apparent to
All unpreiudiced lawyers and citizens
that the court was acting in violation
Of the Constitution and in disregard
of the precedents of the English
speaking world.
If the Sulzer precedent is followed
in Oklahoma the Assembly Of that
State can convene at any time, in any
place, and by a majority vote impeach
the Governor for any old thing, and
the Governor at once is suspended
and out Of Office until he is tried.
When the Sulzer case was appealed
to the Court of Appeals, that court
rendered the following decision. ]

In dispos;ng of this appeal it ap-
pears from the record that the appel
lant has accepted and exercised the
duties Of an incompatible Office, to
wit. the Office Of Member Of Assem-

vember. 1913, and to which he quail
fed on Jan. 7, 1914 since which time
he has continued to act as such. The

Regarding the situation in Okla

your readers to its analogy to the
case Of Gov. Sulzer The law OF both
New York and Oklahoma says that
the Governor can be impeached only
for wilful and corrupt misconduct in
Office. What charges the Legislature
Of Oklahoma will prefer against Gov
Walton we do not know. The Assem-
bly, in New York did not charge Gov.
Sulzer with wiIful and corrupt mis-
conduct in Office, but with something
they alleged he failed to do before he
became Governor.

Sometimes we feel that it is far be-
yond the understanding Of any human
being outside of the mad house to ar
i've at the conclusion why the So
called decent and respectable colored
people in this city and in other sec
tons Of the country will continue to
tamely permit Bishop Archibald ALI
hog James Carey to lord over them
the way that he does all the time. HIS
Vaulting amb ton is to look upon the
vast majority Of the colored people
at his seville or willing slaves and
by compelling them to look up to him
as their lord and master places him in
better position to lift plenty Of easy
money right out of their pockets.
Without saying a thing about his
past immoral conduct at the time he
lost his wet holy ghost hat while at
lending the A. M. z. Sunday School
Tsunioa at Milwaukee, Wis, he still
has the nerve to pose as the new
moses Of the colored race in America.

chine or special training OF the avi-
ator Is responsible for soaring" as
we understand it--that both are sec
ondary to the topography and the
weather.
Any comparison of the soaring
qualities Of gilders must hence
forward rest upon their demonstrated
capabilities in winds moving at We
locities that are adequate to keep
birds in the air, that is. in something
OF the nature of good breeze rather
than a near gale. A mere repetition
of the feat of soaring in the condi-
tions under which it has thus far
been done is to no purpose. and OF
value only as sport We want not
merely duration records, but dis
lance records. To convince US that
they can soar in the more general
acceptance of that term, aviators
must do more than merely stay sus-
pended In the air over a ridge: they
will have to sally out into the open,
so to speak, and fly over fixed routes
to given detectives. They must go
over comparatively level country in
a fairly moderate wind. just like a
condor or an albatross And it
would appear that a very long road
must yet be travelled by inventors
before this has been brought to &C
complishment.

appear quite possible that an aviator
could succeed in edging crabwise
the length Of long ridge and in that
way covering a good distance. But
though that feat may be we'll within
| the range of possibility, it would
probably entail such attention and
skill on the part Of the pilot as TO
make 1t impracticable except as 2
matter of establishing a record.
Perhaps also an aviator on an
ordinary plane rraveraing an air
lane that lay parallel and closely
adjacent to a long chain of noun
tains like the Sierras or the Andes
might find it possible at certain
sectors Of his route to coast along
for considerable stretches without
the use Of his motor. Yet it is doubt
full if the saving of fuel thus gained
would compensate for the loss of
time entailcd by a longer route and
a lower average rate of travel.

feathers became the gold currency of
the kingdom, a tribe of hardy adj
venturers developed, to whom the
lure Of wealth was strong enough to
subdue their natural antipathy to the
hardships of the search for the elu-

Furthermore, as a result of the fire.

kept their Golfers full of the desirable
feathers, and the wives OF their
mobiles fully occupied in the construc-
