Psalms 84:11. Peanut Politics In his letter of resignation from Uie state game commis sion, to the governor, It. W. Price alleges that former state prohibition commissioner George L. Cleaver, who was ousted by the legislature from office, but is still on the state pay roll as a "special agent" for Governor Pierce, solicited the assistance of three members of the game commission in an effort to "frame-up" on game Warden A. E. Burghduff, on a liimor charge so that the latter could be discharged from office. It is further alleged that Mr. Cleaver claimed he acted with the governor's approval, presenting a letter to this effect, as apparently this was the only way the, warden could be ousted without the executive's violating pledges given during the legislative session to secure senatorial sup port against the bill removing the game commission from his control. The incident is typical of the kind of politics Governor Pierce has played ever since his inauguration. Mr. Cleaver, with the assistance of one Weinberg and the approval of the governor, spent several thousands of state money in the effort to "frame" Oregon's United States senators and other federal officials, as well as to "get" the speaker of the house of representatives. That is evidently why the taxpayers continue to pay Mr. Cleaver's salary. Not very lofty politics perhaps and not very practical, because it defeats itself, but what else can be expected from mi administration that will force a million dollar shortage in state finances to punish the people for not voting the way Ihe governor desired? West Ineligible In denying stories of his candidacy for United States senator, former Governor Oswald West, in an interview in the Portland Oregonian, is quoted as saying: I haven't Ihn sllKhtost. .l.r.iro lu Ko In WashinKtmi.

I possess many other views which. If expressed, would make tne not only an unpopular candidate for senator, hill would sl Ii the pro fessional uplifter. who has hecome more of a pulilic nuisance than an earwltr. Mr. West is right his candidacy would Tie as hopeless as that of John W. Davis for president was. Only demagogues or hypocrites or time-servers need apply for high public office in Oregon. It is necessary to play the political prostitute to secure popularity. We are glad to notice that extended observation and experience and the wisdom that conies with years , have broadened the ex-executive's outlook, increased bis tolerance and soured him on J he uplift, of which he was one of the initiators. As one of the original bone dry advocates, it is loo much to hone that Mr. West may yet take a drink, and so become eligible for office with the Anti-Saloon League, but iwihntis eventually he will consent lo the other fellows i-eiriilntim his own personal habits instead of the League's doing it through slate coersioti.

"The winter is. really over, nnd I'm friu'httully disappointed in -you,' idle told me. -ue can i ;u- ford to apend nnother one here in town, and I'd counted on you to well " "To find a rich husband, nnd pret rid of Jim, and marry the oili er man," I supplied ;s she hesitat ed. We never had discussed tiling quite that frankly, though I had ill ways known what she wanted, and xhe had realized that I knew. "Yes. I've spent far too much 0:1 vour clothes, and this apartment. to set no'relurn for it. Your fath er made a cash settlement on me that's the money with which I bounht .stock on a niaiRin and now that's gono. What we're to do I don't know. Ii! you'd only used common sen.se you could have married Frank Hiirrlson thin Hp rin g." "Always providing that I sot a divorce from Jim," I reminded her "And I couldn't have married Frank, because he's crazy about you; you know that quite us well as I do." I hated the whole world in which I lived, that morning. It was Hueh a tawdry, empty life, in which women traded husband a.s children trade dolls. I wished that I could get away from it all. "Well, our money is so near Rone that we'll have to give up thlti apartment by the emi in nexu month," Virginia went on retuin.. 'And what we'll do then 1 uou i know." "We might, Ho to work. 1 sug gested . flippantly. "I'd make n good clerk or waiireuf. 1 m suit-, Uld you could be an olUelaJ cnap- enme. or sell hat., or do soinethlim like that." Virginia merely glared at me. 1 knew that she'd almost rather starve than go to work. rersonau. it had always seemed to me to be a great adventure, to go out ln " the world and get a J.ib and earn money, and run into all kinds of people. If only Yirr.ia would marry Frank Harrison and leave me free to do as I liked: I went to Nathalie Jordan' a. Huon as I could escape from the house. I found her surrounded by naniohlets (lom one of the big travel agencies. "f.nnk. N'ant-v." she erid. tossing one of them to me. "The tropics! iiiypt! China! How'd you like lo pick up and sail away from NVw York, down to the land where it') summer'" "Don't a.de me you might well ask how I'd like lo fly out of the window," I told her gloomily, "That's absurd. Hubby and I were talking this morning at break fast of how much we'd like to get away, and his yacht is in commit sion again now; we've been plan ning a little trip. Want to g along 7" "Oh. Nathalie, it's what I'd love better than anything else," I cried "When do we s'.art?" "The first of the week. I think. We've about decided on Nassau have you ever been thme?" "I've never been an where." answered. "I'd love to go. I've al ways been crazy to go to tho Ha hamas," "All right that's settled! But l-in afraid wo can t gei mucii mi u. party together on such tdiort no lice. We'll go to Miami by train, md the yacht will no umen uown nut meet us there. Now, lef seo about clothes want 10 go auuji- pingV" She was as nappy unu who's been promised a wonderful treat. Yet a week ago a trip to Nassau would have meant nothing her. I wondered if 1 a bo ho ra diantly happy 'f Jlni were to come back and tell me that he still lov ed me. It was useless for mo to go chop ping, for I hadn't any money, nnd Virginia and I already had huge bills at the shops. Hut Nathalie insisted on finding out what I lik ed, and when I got home that af ternoon my room was overflowing with huge boxes, full of hats and frocks an ', cunning sports cbdhes. "Oh, I can't let Nathalie give me all these," 1 told Virginia in dismay. "Why not? She has IojuIh of money, it's a pleasure to her to give you things," Virginia nnswer cd; she can always make herself believe that it's a pleasure to oth er people to give things to her or me. "Now. what's the meaning of all this? Where are you going?" I told her. She .sighed, and rum maged through my desk for ciga rettes. "Well. I hope you can land a rich man and that you'll have .sense enough to take him," sho re marked, "if you don't we'll go to the pool-house." Tomorrow A Tempest hi a Teapot. NEWS?
