THE CASE OF GOVERNOR WEST
"I am Koing out of office with less
money than I had when I went in and
I will not be a candiduto for re-election."
The above statement was recently
made by Governor West at a meeting
of the emergency board at the state
cupitol.
l'erhaps no governor in the history
of the stute has been more thoroughly
toasted over the fires of his poli
tical enemies thn Oswald West. An is

the Holy iiiblo was the Book of God,
some "Knight of the Press" would
very promptly question his sincerity.
If he walked to his apartments at the
state cupitol ho was pictured as play

Had he allied himself with the
friends, instead of the enemies of vice
he would have been just as severely
criticised by the opposition as he has
during his tenure of office. His car
dinal sin is that of being a Democrat
and a crime of this magnitude is never
forgiven or condoned by the old line
Republican organization.
Now the governor says that he haw
had enough. He has found the gover
nor's office both unprofitable, and in
many respects unpleasant. He has
given his time and ability to the ser
vice of the state and now proposes to
devote his energies to the work of
earning a competence for himself and
his family.
Thoc ase of Governor West is simi
lar to that of hundreds of other pub
lic men. Ingratitude of friends, hos

make some use of the boy-power in its
schools. H. W. Foght of the United
States bureau of education reports
that in the last six years high school
students from the manual training de
partment of the Michigan town had
been employed in the various school
buildings. In one summer Sd.UUU was
paid for student labor. The boys have
repaired roots, laid cement floors,
built brick walls and installed plumb
ing fixtures. A gymnasium to be
erected by the boys is from plans
drawn by seniors in the high school.
Even at this, it remains to be seen
whether the high school boys of Ore
gon City can not yet give the Ishpem
ir.g boys pointers as regards the use
of boy-power during school days;
