Mr. Daley's paper has a right to support Mr. Daley's measure, but it ought to re member that the members of the legisla ture have been reading the printed re port of the sUte board, and that wlien it attempts to belittle the labor of the com missioners by omitting to state plainly and candidly what has been done, it ia only making itself ridiculous. Because Mr. Daley may not like the president of the state board, is no reason why his paper should be used to defeat a good work for the people of the state. That president is not a candidate for re-appointment. The Itemixer is hard op for material when it quotes a Mud Creek correspondent of the East Oregonian, and credits it to Mr. Wager himself.
