In whose custody they rightfully belong. Governor West at the state land board meeting today predicted that -If the policy of permit ting the treasurer, the custody of the ecuritiesi continued indefinitely. It will surely lead to trouble and proba ble loams". The governor said that ,he did not feel that there was any danger under the ,presmt treasurer, but th.it th.. future Bhould be safeguarded.

Governor Weat charged that Craw ford wan delaying the trial of the auhool aor-uriuea case, no ma-i ac tion would "be taken this year by the -supreme court. The case has been in the courts since last November. Tim reaaon the case has been de layed Is because those, responsible tor the delay believe that, the supreme court will find that tlie land board la the custodian of the notea," asserted Governor West. "It was common talk on ' the street, evidently emanating from the attorney general's office, that any effort to get the case before the Supreme court before election would 'h fought. Had It not been for this ' fcybtematle delay, we could have had a grt legislation necessary to dlsposo of . the questions. When this case was Vtandlnar that it waa to be a test suit. gnd a speedy determination was ex pected." Kay contended today that the suit was brought as a result of personal Olcott expressed dissatisfaction with the way the 3uit had dragged into the courts.

" There may come a time whenf,th notes will not bo In as good 'hands as" at present," Olcott declared. : The discussion over the suit came up when the question as to whether ther? should be included in Liern. u. u , .

Although little Miss Traglio was rather late in entering The Journal's 15000 Trade and Circulation Contest, she is making up , by hard work what she lost . In time. Miss TragHo's photograph undoubt edly is familiar to many theatre-goers, for only three weeks ago she played a juvenile part with little Mayo Methot at the Baker. And In this connection it might be well to state that the Baker has Joined with The Journal in the contest and every admission ticket Is good for a fat bunch of votes.
