I could not help but note the very
strong feeding out in the Valley
against selling this liquor to sol- ’
leadership in dier boys and war workers. If some
indicated by regulation is not forth-coming the
public'is very apt to rise up in their
wrath und throw out all liquor sales
Particularly is thia true of the
Honorable Merle Chessman of As-
toria who served so well in the sen­
ate.
Senator Chessman Is a man of
strong character and yet With an in­
stinct for diplomacy that has pulled
him through many a tight place in
public life. He is politically fear­
less and has no patience with in­
trigue and underhanded dealing. His
habit of getting to the root of the
mutter straightly, regardless of whose
toes are stepped on eh route, should
serve him in good stead on the com­
mission. The 'governor chose wise­
ly in his case and the Coast High­
way gets u friend on the board.
The appointment of our own Judge
Peterson as Director of Agriculture
comes as no great surprise to those
who are,close to state politics. Many
of us have long known we had the
outstanding county judge of the state
at thia writing. Not only does Judge
Peterson have unusual qualifications
tor tne job in the way of college
training but he also possesses a
keenly analytical mind and a reser­
voir of nervous energy that--has «rr-
ried him Into recognized leadership
among those of his profession.
His job is to be one of the hot
spots of the administration.
