WHY THEY HOWL
T here a re ce rta in new spapers in
Oregon who would have you believe
th a t Governor Pierce is a failu re as
chief executive of th is state.
A good many of them th a t are
responsible for th e spreading of th is
so rt of propaganda have “axes to
g rin d ” and when th e political g rin d
stone w as denied them th ey set up
a howl and are now occupied in re
la tin g to th e people of Oregon w hat
a sad m istake th ey made in electing
Mr. Pierce as governor.
T here is a ce rta in paper located in
the capitol city of Salem th a t p er­
sists in criticisin g th e governor nnd
his ad m in istiatlo n w ith uncom pli

th a t someone associated w ith th e
paper w as d raw in g down a nice fat
salary in connection w ith a sta te
office. P erhaps he failed to receive
a re-appointm ent and for th is reason
he would have you and I believe th a t
the sta te is going to th e “ bow wows.’
T here never was a tim e in the liis
to ry of the state w hen th ere teas th<
num ber of “soreheads” as th ere a re
a t present. A good m any of Ihem
w as holding sta te jobs that, required
very little work. They drew a sal
ary th a t would m ake a S tan d ard oil

P ierce assured th e people th a t if

G overnor Pierce h as been called a
“ crepe h an g er." P erh ap 8 th e name
w as given him because he sounded
th e death knell of these public leech­
es, a t any rate we are Inclined to be
lleve the public never shed one sin
gle te a r as they gazed upon tholi
rem ains.
Thia is how th ey co n tracted the
disease commonly know n ns “ sore
headness,” th e sym ptom s of which
they a re now display in g — a bad casi
of how ling “I told you so.”
R ecently the governor made a tout
of inspection. D u rin g th e trip he
visited th e projects at Stiver Luke.
Sum m er Luke, T um alo, Powell B utte
an d others. M onday’s Oregonian
describes the v isit us follows: The
governor saw every phase of project!
th e raw desert th irs tin g for w ater,
th e p a rtly constructed dams nnd dis­
tr ib u tin g system s nnd completed new
projects and old and prosperous dis­
tricts. He saw w aterless land, c lu t­
tered w ith sage brush on one side of
of a road nnd w ith green fields under
Irrig atio n on the o th er. Ho saw the
abandoned homes w here lan d -h u n g ry
s e ttle rs had been starv ed out w aitin g
fo r w ater to come; he saw se ttlers
scarcely abfe to earn an existence nnd
unable to afford underw enr nnd
women who had to use new spapers
for p ettico ats.”
T here a re those who a re Inclined
to blam e th e governor for th e con­
ditions existing on these irrig atio n
projects. They claim
s ta te aid
should be pledged in ord er to p u t
w ater on these a rid lands.
These h alf-starv ed se ttlers were

present governor took the oath of
office. We nro un ab le to find any
record w here Mr. Olcott offered to
aid theso d e stitu te settlers. Did
