That's the new offi cial presiding over state af fairs for the rest of this month. This congeniaK senate president arrived yesterday to "sub" for Governor Julius - L. Meier, who left Oregon early la the day to spend Christmas with relatives in San Francisco. And Marks brought along his smile. The sew governor will com mate from his home in Albany while noting as governor. The governor wm told he was ex pected to represent Meier nt the State Honse 8tag Friday night. That is naturally tbe most im portant function of tbe week for state officials, and since Meier can't be present, it will be one of Marks "duties." Unfortunately Marks will be unable to spend his executive sal ary for Christmas that Is, this Christmas. According to law a legislative appropriation is neces sary to pay him for his services. But Marks says he is a holdover senator, so at least such a meas ure will no doubt receive the ap proval of the upper house. The new executive yesterday presided at a banking board meeting. Today he will preside at a land board session and Wednesday he will be chairman of the Board of control session.

Just a greet ing to readers of this column who ride: New York subways and busses. Perhaps there is doobt that this column is read that far east, but proof la at hand. The column takes the li berty to quote a letter received yesterday from Beatrice Craw-ford-Newcomb. "Dear Editor: Oh, well, if it Is distance you are interested in von should get quite a wallop out Of the news that your column has been read on New York sub-way trains and the top of a Fifth Av enue bus. Your contribution Is alive and much appreciated by a former dome-belle . ' Thanks a lot Beatrice. State officials recall that the author of this letter was formerly em ployed in the state industrial accident department, and other departments several years ago. Mrs. Beatrice Crawford-New-comb is now associate home editor of the Dairymen's League News, New York City. So few things complimentary are said about this column and the ap preciation so keenly felt, that publication becomes almost im perative. The time is approaching for the big State House Stag Friday night. Those who have received Invitations and have not yet made reservations are urged to do so immediately. Thirty-five reserva tions have already been recorded. and more are coming in right along. Bo sure to be on hand Fri day night at 7 o'clock. The starter, ringmaster and finisher conferred last night, and guests were assured of a good time by the program lined out. In fact, missing this get acquainted affair will be almost equivalent to being defeated for office, so keen would be the dis appointment of the absentee. State house officials have all expressed themselves as heart ily in favor of this kind of event. More about this tomorrow. MEN! tHT MEN! MM win BUT ADVISED TO RESIGN State Education Board Says Acts not Quite Immoral But he Should Move Following last Friday's formal bearing the state hoard of educa tion Monday reversed the decision of Charles A. Howard, state super intendent 6f pablic instruction, who a few weeks ago revoked the teacher's certificate issued to Da vid Lee Byers, Sutherlln school principal. The order was signed by Gov ernor Meier and Hal E Hoss. sec retary of state. Byers was charged In a com plaint filed against him by Mrs. Edith Ackert, Douglas eonnty school superintendent, of being -too friendly" with some of his women teachers. Although two members of the board found that revocation of Byers' certificates to teach was too severe, they recommended that he forthwith resign his position as principal of th Sutherlln school. "The testimony has disclosed on the part of Byers undne familiar ity with women teachers." the or der of the state board of educa tion read. "Also that he has been guilty of certain acts of impropriety and indiscretion, and that his habits and characteristics havo been per sonally offensive to members of his teaching staff. "We do not find evidence, how ever, sufficient to substantiate the charge of immorality in Its ac cepted sense, and the penalty of revocation with its attendant im plications Is In our opinion too se vere. We therefore reverse the de clsion of the state -superintendent of public instruction. "It is the opinion of the board that Byers has by his aforesaid acts of impropriety and indiscre tion terminated his usefulness as a school leader In tho community where the charges originated, and we recommend that h resign his position." At the original hearing, held before Mr. Howard, four Sutherlln teachers testified against Byers. Two of these teachers declared that Byers had patted them on their knees. Byers testified that If he had patted the teachers' knees, the act was unintentional. Y. W. Board Meets The reg ular meeting of the 1 W. C.
