"Give Light and the People 1111 Fä
Their 01811 Way"
ft ffe
This is written early Monday morn
log The Impeachment trial of Gov-
ernor Johnston Is to begin at 10
o'clock today Unless there sre de-
lays it will be under way before this
paper Is on the street How long
I he trial will last is problematic
The senate should 'mist upon rea-
sonably long sessions each day The
house managers should avoid Ir-
relevant questions which will con-
sume time The heart of the matter
" should be reached in the most direct
say with reasonable diligencc tteAl
the matter concluded There should
be no undue haste But dilatory
tactics by either side should be
ft owned upon
The air is full of rumors of "fram
lug" and "counter-framing' We
can find little basis of truth in most
of the rumors That some of the
enemies of the governor are moved
solely by malice or selfishness is no
doubt true That they are "fram-
ing" any evidence we doubt We
can with diligence learn nothing to
confirm any such suspicion If any-
one can supply us with any depen-
daole facts that any improper prac-
tices are being indulged we crave
the inform-aim We will coun-
tenance no buch methods
On the other hand we can learn
of only a couple of instances to con-
firm the suspicion that the highway
contracting favorites or administra-
tion beneficiaries are doing much
that Is improper One man who oc-
cupies an important position in the
defense scheme of things is showing
unusual prosperity But we must be
careful or we may start another sen-
ate investigation Everyone in the
senate is talking about it to his fel-
low senators but it would call for
Instant condemnation for us to
charge any impropriety We don't
Probably be "acttled some litigation
or collected a fee"
We are a little like the new re-
cruit in the army who had been
roughly manhandled by a lieutenant
He asked a fellow private "What
would they do to me if I call the
lieutenant a - -?" ''Put you in
the guardhouse for le days" was the
reply 'The new soldier thought a
moment and said "Can they do any-
thing to me for thinking that the
lieutenant Is a- -?" Being as-
sured that no one could punish him
for what he thought he lapsed into a
long silence "What are you doing?"
askcd his comrade "Thinking" was
the significant reply
a
One of the judges of the impeach-
ment court is making trips' to Judge
Armstrong's office Another is room-
ing with one of the governor's attor-
neys These things do not comport
with our ideas of the proprieties
But up to thIs time we see little
evidence of a general movement to
use money la large sums If we do
see any such evidences we are going
to say 80 whether or not we are la
position actually to prove it This
with clue apologies to the Oklahoma
'weakly" which thinks we ought to
mention only what we can prove
a a
Even If it proves possible to pre-
vent the general use ot improper
money on either side of this trial
It is doubtless true that patronage
and "pull" are playing some part on
both sides Apparently it cannot
be prevented Vie stakes for which
some Belf-centered people are playing
are 110 large to permit this trial to
go on without vigorous effort being
made to influence sorne of the
"jurors" We deplore this in vaim
We would stop it if we knew how
Obviously the real charge
the governor is incompetency No
one seriously charges him with cor-
ruption or grafting Such Illegal
acts as may be technically impeach-
able are due to his lack of ability to
discern They collaterally support
the charge of incompetency rather
than One of wilful dishonesty
a a a
But if It is shown that Governor
Johnston is co devoid of common
sense and ordinary judgment that he
has surrounded himself with crooks
and has steadfastly refused to aban-
don them when made aware of their

there was nothing he could do the
t younger Lovejoy testified Be toll
