WEST TELLS EAST OE OREGON LAWS Cleveland Leader Introduces Him. as Man Who Inaugurated a Guard less, Barrlcadclcss State Penitentiary. Tho Cleveland Lender introduced Governor West to its readers recent ly ns follews: "Oawnld West, 'Oregen: Chief ex ecutive of ilio "best governed state in Amoricn,' militant and advanced pro gressive; enlliusinst for the initiative, referendum and recall, parts of the fundamental lnws of Oregon; practi cal criminologist, who innupnrnted a puardless, Imrricadclcss state pri-J-on, nnd made it tlio model of its kind; pure food crusader: foe of the Morgnuhcims, whoso methods he learned nt first linnd while a cold minor in Alaska." Then tho paper interviews Mr. West ns follews: ' Gov. Oswnld West of Oresron. the state which blnred tho trail for the initiative and referendum, is distiurt ly n product of direct legislation nnd tho independence it has bred in the voters of Oreeon. West, in Cleveland Friday with seven other western states governors is an enthusiastic direct legislation advocate. He's seen what tho initin tve and referendum, has done for Ore gon, nnd doesn't hesitate to declare direct legislation for the state. Tie savs his own election was due to the independence of the voters nnd their distmst of party bosses. Greatness J)no to the T-H. f "Tho initiative and the referendum has made Oregon one of the greatest states in the union," said West. "The state has grown and developed more under direct legislation than ever be fore. Nothing hns arisen to mnkc the people regret adopting the initiative nnd referendum. It's a blessing in every way." West, young nnd comparatively un known before his election, went on tho ticket ns a democrat in n strong republican state, after tho part bosses bad secured the nomination of the men thoy hnd picked in a pre election assembly. Tho voters dis trusted the machine leaders nnd dec ted West. "Direct legislation is the thine for Ohio, ns it has been for Oregon." said West. "Your constitutional conven tion bhouhl Mu that tho principles nrc incorporated into the constitution with peroontngo.-i low enough to make them easily workable. All this talk about the initiative and referendum opening the way for undesirable leg islation is boh. The people of Ore gon linvc proved their intelligence, and so will the people ijf Ohio." A VUf.Slxtlis Majority. Orncon likes the I. and K. so well that five-sixths of the voters would vote fur retaining the principles, West said. "Only the political bosses are agninst direct legislation," he con tinued. "It hns been shown in Ore gon tun! it will nuniuilntc the best lfinehiue m existence. The bosses didn't know this in Oregon, but they know it now. Thtit's one of the blessings of the I. nnd U. "Oregon hns not had too ninny elections since the adoption of the direct legislative system. We've had many questions decided in tho last few years, but thoy were nil questions the people wanted decided qnicklv There were some laws the people wanted ,nnd they got them. We've decided more questions in the Inst few years than we'll vpto on in tho next ten. Now Hint we've got what we want, there won't be so many questions voted upon." Will llcucfU Ohio. West was enthusiastic over Ohio's chances to get direct legislation. Nothing could benefit Ohio more than direct legislation, ho said. "Why, even the corjiornto interests nrc coining nround for direct legisla tion out our way," said West. "In dustries are making more money than ever before. Wo have built more miles of railroads since we got the I. mid R. than in ten years previous. It's a great thing. There's no ques tion about it with us. "One thing the I. nnd R. hns shown is that you can't fool the people. Some corporations tried it, but they couldn't put anything over on the voters. The people have shown they know whnt they nre voting on everv time. The man who snys the people don't know how to govern themselves nnd make laws shouldcome out to Oregon. They would change their minds. "The recall rankes us behave. We know the people will oust us if we don't do what's right. And ns a re sult we do what's right. The recall hns never been worked on state offi cials." Gov. John Bnrke of North Dakota looks for his state to have the initia tive and referendum soon. One branch of the legislature has already pro vided for the principles there.

One of the strnngost things about our existence is tho fact that the bud habit seems to como naturally nnd the good habit a matter of train ing. Tho ultm-fushionnble society woman cultivates only the habits of luxury nnd ease and very often only nwnkens when seeking entertainment. This type of woman is very much the samo in every country and since she is not considered n useful member of society, this nrticle is not written in reference to her. No woman can sink into n state cf mental laziness and be alert physi cally nor can sho be physically lazy nnd njert mentally. The two igo hand in hand nnd until they nrc actu ally put to the test will she be on the road of progress and know the full joy of living. Then will sho nlso know that a trained nnd well groom ed body is the outward expression of n keen, wholesome, nnd sympa thetic mind. Tho secret of grnce is complete control of the body nnd when a wo mnn hns onco cultivated tho habit of controlling her nerve force she has gained the first step towanl attract iveness, and throuch this control she hns Hindu possible the free expression of tho mind within. Woman in u reckless spendthrift of strength and so deeply is this hnhit imbedded that she doesn't rculiro tier condition till she is broken down by pain and weariness nnd her nerve force coin plotcly oxhuusted. Such habits as mannerisms of speech and movements trick of the voice nnd facial minks and grim ma'necs make junuv women absurd caricature of what thev might be. Tho fullness of lite with all its joys and pleasures is almost a seal ed hook to the woman who does not know how to correct homely habits nnd make herself interesting nnd at tractive. She is but half-living who docs not understand thi for through that channel we form friendships which an' the Vtaff of life tuid oppor tunities are given tw that are other wise passed by. Concerning the training of the girl I can do no better than take Raskin's werds: "The first of our duties to Iter no thnuhtfttl persons now doubt this is to secure for her such phy sical training nnd exercise as may pericet nor beauty, the highest re finement of that beauty being unat tainable without splendor of activity and of firm delicate strength. 'Only remember that all physical freedom cannot produce benutv without cor responding frcdom of heart." Hy freedom of heart is meant the courage given by right thinking nnd fredom from weariness. You cannot make the girl too happy nnd light of spirit for happiness is the only nat ural tonic wo can give the nerves. Thev respond so beautifully to it that tho wonder' is we haven't schools the wide world over for teaching the nrl of cultivating happiness. A hn mind can work out nhnost any diffi culty while a weary and despondent one mnkes the difficulty nppenr much worse than it reallv is. Concerning habit in matters physi cal, we como by nothing unturnllv. For example, tnko the musician. No matter how groat his talent he must train the muscles of his fingers to play as thoy should. Ad thus in ev erything else we nre creatures of training. That in which wc are re ligiously trained becomes hnhit and habit becomes second nature. Thoughts nnd emotions nre so closely connected with the physical that fear chills the blood; love and hope warm it. Fenr nnd worry contract the chest. compress the lungs nnd retnrd tho no tion of the heart bringing a thousand physicnl ills. Love, courngo nnd bono cxpnnd the chest, make the ac tion of the heart nnd lungs vigorous, nnd bring health. More often than not, worry is a cultivated habit, o why not cultivate happiness? It is n scientific law th:if nothing THESE MONKEYS LEARN TO TALK Scientist Trains Chimpanzees to Talk Small Words They Aro Also Ahle to Solvo Easy Problems (or Him. lMllt.Al)EWM!!A, Vn., Doc. 1(1.
