“ ALL R IG H T '’ NIT!
Some time ago the Herald re
marked: “ Governor West is all
right in a good many ways.”
We
wish to modify this to make it lead
something like this: “ There was a
time when Oswald West was all
right iu a good many ways.”
Speaking from personal recollection,
it can be said that behind a wicket
in the Ladd & Bush bank at Salem,
fifteen or twenty years ago, he was
a pleasant and courteous teller and
popular with the patrons ol the
bank. What has come over the
spirit of hts dream since he was ele
vated to the gubernatorial chair is
hard to understand. He seems to
have made up his alleged mind that
the people ol Coos county have been
guilty of high crimes and misde
meanors and must be punished. As
the machinery ot the law doesn’ t
seem able to grind out any indict
ments or convictions, Oswald is
pawing the air, fuming , threaten
ing, and abusing officials and citi
zens of this county like a peevish
boy. He seems incapable of under
standing that when he attacks such
mtn as Sheriff Gage, Mayor Straw,
A . H. Powers and now County
Judge John F. Hall, he is jumping
onto some mighty good men, and
men for whom the people ol Coos
county have more respect in one
minute than they will ever have tor
Oswald West in the next thousand
years. It hardly seems possible
that even a desire for newspaper
notoriety would lead any man in his
right mind to make such a sorry
spectacle of himself, yet that seems
to be the only explanation of West’s
motive that can be considered, It
is possible that he has been fired by
the example of some of our national
figures who have made a bit hy
attacking abuses and fighting a
good fight to a victorious conclusion,
and tbiuks all he has to do is to
keep on makiug grand stand plays
in this commonwealth, and after
awhile he will be a national figure
himself. He sees that many great
men are at first called cranks, and
thinks that if he can convince peo
ple that he is a crank they will after
awhile accept him as a great man.
He has accomplished the first part
of such a plan, but he has evidently
forgotten that a man must have a
goodly array of common sense be
hind his crankiness, or the people
will get onto him for what he is,
and he will sink back into oblivion
in spite ol all bis splashing
He
will find this out in the next few
years
The recent correspondence be
tween the governor and Judge Hall,
which is published by the Marsh
field Record, is quite interest
ing and will be read with amuse
ment and approval by Herald read
ers John P. is uniformly such a
genial and courteous gentleman
that it is gratifying to see a little
display of lauguage “ with the bark
ou’’ in his communication to our
childish executive. West’s telegram
and Judge Hall’s letters are given
below:
Marshfield, Oet. 11, 1913.
Oswald West,
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
1 have received a telegram which
reads as follows;
Salem, Ore., Oct. 9, 1913.
County Judge,
Marshfield, Ore.
Kindly send me detailed state
ment showiug expenses caused your
county by reason of the recent
grand jury investigation of deport
ation cases. I wish to present bill
coveriug same to A. H. Powers,
Smitn Powers company for pay
ment in order taxpayers of your
county may be reimbursed.
OSWALD WEST
THK ItEi’LY
If you desire this information I
will furnish the same and send it to
you ns soon ns the district attorney
and the county clerk can get the
same ready.
Not believing tlmt you would be
fool enough to bebuve that you
could collect the same off of A. II.
Powers, or that you would attempt
to do such a thing and believing
the telegram is a forgery and that
someone is tryiDg to put up a job, I
concluded to wiice you before going
to tbe trouble of getting the inform
ation asked for
If it is true that you sent tbe tele
gram aud hare any intention of try
ing to collect the money from Mr.
Powers, I would advise that you con
sult an alienist before attempting to
collect the money
Yours very respectfully,

In your letter you say “Your of
fice was asked for information, not
for advice or instructions.” At the
time I received the telegram I did
not believe that you had sent it,
thought it was some pra tical joker,
trring to have some fun at our ex
pense, and expressed my opinion,
since receiving your tetter will say
that I do not intend to offer any ad
vice or instructions to your office,
but have not changed my opiuion.
I further note you say, “ No o n e
who took part in, or sympathizes
with mob violence, is iu position to
criticise this office.” Rcplyiung to
this will say that I have not taken
part or sympathized with any mob
or violence, was not present at, and
had d o knowledge o f tbe deportation
of your friends until after it had
bean done.
I do not believe iu mob law, nor
do I believe in prosecution of inno
cent persons, either criminally for
the purpose of creating a sensation
or obtaining newspaper notoriety.
Hoping that the statement will
be satisfactory, I am,
Respectfully vours,

A
New Scheme to
Skeels
Defeat
Editor Herald:-
We are informed theie is a
scheme on foot to spring the Kerri
gan tract in order to catch votes and
by this trick defeat Mr. C. T. Skeels
for director. We will not resort to
tricks and schemes, and we shall
certainly oppose their beiug indicted
upon us. More tb»n this, we feel
that in this malicious and personal
fight agaiust Mr. Firang and Mr.
Barrow, our rights are being ruth-
lesslv and maliciously trampled un
der foot; as womeu and wives we
are certainly entitled to some de
cent respect aud consideration in
these matters And we desire to re
spectfully offer a few objections to
the springing of the Kerrigan tract
at this time
1st. It is too near the present
school building
Besides, both
school buildings would then be on
the same side of town.
2nd. This would put both school
buildings at tbe extreme east side of
town. All tbe children would have
to pass entirely through town to
get to school. This would be un
fair to the children and to the peo
ple of the district.
3rd. It lies immediately adjoining
the Southern Oregon land, aud
most likely it will be years before
it is opened and platted.
4th It is a rougher,steeper piece of
laud than the Barrow and Strang
tract. There is no really level piece
of play ground on it,
5tb. It is a difficult place t(*
build roads and streets to and there
are no good roads or streets to it
now. While the Batrow and Strang
tract lies between two main roads,
and has a good street entirely
around it.
6tb. It is unfair, unjust, and mor
ally disbooest to try to spring the
Kerrigan tract now as a “ vote
catcher” against Skeels, and especi
ally so under all the existing circum
stances. Besides, the vote of tbe
people and the resolution of the
school board has settled the land
question, and the election of Skeels
is now a different and separate
matter.
7th. It is a shame and a dis
grace the way Mr. Barrow, Mr.
Strang, and Mr. Skeel”, and their
half block east of the school house
families have been dragged into|
