His disregard forthe govern- er’s order is based on opinions* sud- mitted ,by his counsels to the effect that the governor has not. jurisdicti over the president in a comn form of government. The counsels contend that Frazier cannot remove , Shaw and further contend that the, business of the city commission such as the letting of contracts for civic improvements, passing on warrants, etc., should not be imperiled by | Shaw's absence from the beard. In the opinion of many local peo- ple Frazier has not abided by law in ordering Shaw suspended. The law, thev claim, does not.assume crime or fraud but assumes that an officer does his duty until it is alleged and proven that he does not. In this mat- sistant Attorney Dan V.

St. Luke xvii, 17.” “A noticeable tendency in human nature is to ignore its greatest bless. ings. We lavor and strive for a given thing, knowing its great value, and | when it has been attained it seems to lose much of its value. This fact is well illustrated in the political history of the present day. Thousands of the people of Europe have come to our shores to escape the intollerable con- ditions of a tyrannous government or the oppression of economic forces they could not remedy. They have besa welcomed with, open.arms. Their way, has been made easy and pleas- ant.
