The opinion ' reads: "As to the power of the courts to en force the performance of min isterial duties by the governor, there 1s a difference ot opinion. In this state it has been held that where the duty to be per formed Is purely ministerial and. not political and not otherwise obJectlonaL the courts, in a proper ease, may exercise their authority. The general rule, however. Is that the executive" of the state, fn the proper discharge of his duties tinder the constitu tion. It- as Independent of- the co art as he Is ot the. legisla ture. The authorities agree la holding that where the duty ought to ' be enforced 1s not ministerial, but one lnrolTing discretion. It cannot be enforced by writ." j Putnam's Propriety In Raisins; Bait Held Qwestioaable rtrt i miitur nr tu nronrie- alt, the court said. In part: "A suit by the state in Its sovereign capacity instituted by Its execu tlre law officer. ' the attorney general or district attorney, can protect or enforce the rights of a cltisen of the state who can not protect them by a suit Insti tuted by himself," continued the opinion. "In a suit of action by an in dividual, he Is required to ahow some special injury to himself and when the wrong complained of is public In its- character, af fecting no one citizen more than another, It Is Impossible for him to show such injury In common with the other members of the community.

PRIMARY FAVORED BY CHIEF Every county In Oregon will have at least one representative In each house of the legislature in case a recommendation of Governor Norblad Is adopted at the 1931 legislature and subse quently approved by the voters.

Oscar Wilde's cleverly sophisticated four act comedy drama, which .was gives by -the apeeen department of Willamette university. .Helen Pentbertoa was the director and as a student' deserves much cre dit as do the members of the cast for the genulsess of the work done. The play, to be done correctly. requires the work of artists of more than ordinary ability and so It is very commendable that the student actors could hold the attention of their audience and make It feel the slneerety and growth that each of them dem onstrated had come to them through their work In this play. It la difficult and unnecessary to make mention of Individual work. The east includes 17 mem bers and as the play was produ ced as ' the completion ot the class work for this semester it might be well to sum up the ap parent result as showing- A su perior amount of stage poise over any Willamette production seen within the past three rears: a decidedly betten voice control; and above all a sincerety and feeling in the work of each actor. Points of criticism might be the rigidity with which the char acters moved about the stage. This was done no doubt to se cure the cold austerity of the English the English may be cold but they are not stiff. For instance the praiseworthy ges tures with her hands were weak ened by the stiff movements of Miss Beecher as Lady Wlnde- mere, and Wesley Gordon's fire in his speech was cooled by his frozen actions. By and large though, the whole play was most commendable for a student pro duction. Miss Pemberton - Is to be con gratulated la my opinion for ob taining results In an amateur play not achieved within the Im mediate history of Willamette's past efforts.

Gile, president of the hospital board of directors, whose com mendation for the progress of the hospital under the supervis- orship of Miss Wahlstrom has been expressed. Misa Wahlstrom Is resigning now to take a much needed rest for an Indefinite length of time. She will go from here to Port land where she will be with friends. JL definite announcement has not been made but It la rumored that Miss Mildred Lenoir, gradu ate of Evanston, 111., hospital. and former superintendent of Pierce county hospital of Ta co ma will be , the next superinten dent.

HOMER IN '32 (Con tinned from pafa X) for the existing heads "of national dry oryanizations to furnish the 'united command' " needed, since there were several of the most prominent organizations "with large property and other interests which bar the way." Contending the strategy board would be all right as far as it went, but that It would be "inade quate." Stewart said his organi sation was setting out to estab lish local units favoring prohibi tion which would be tied together in towns, cities, counties, districts and states. "By the end of 1921," he said, we will have an organization no politician could afford to Ignore, while the board of strategy will hardly have gotten under way af ter the complicated procedure it must go through to complete its organization. "If every dry organization with the exception of the W. C. T. U. and the woman's national com mittee for law enforcement went out of commission, the dry cause would profit by their decrease," he asserted. 4 More Citizens Get Last Papers In Local Court Four more citizens were ad mitted by the naturalization route yesterday morning when Examiner Blackman of Portland naturalization offices sat on six cases here.
