VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON FOUR Hmmnta concerning the employment of outside talent for the position of executive secretary of the state board of education nor of the state librarian employed from Wisconsin. Such things are done in every state. As for the pub licity man “from Omaha,” re ferring to Wendell Webb, we do know that with the exception of an absence from the state to at- tend the funeral of his mother and the time required to close up the estate, Mr. Webb has been a resident of Oregon for two years. He was local editor of this newspaper until summoned, later returning to Oregon. He married an Oregon girl and will continue to make his home in this state. His status as a resident of Ore gon cannot be questioned. If this policy of childish criticsm is to be pursued the “On to Ore gon” campaign might as well be scrapped. —From the Tele phone Register of August 25. With a sufficiently large force of state troopers it will be pos able to prevent and punish crime as well as make the highways ■afe for travelers by prompt curbing of reckless and drunken drivers.—Hillsboro Argus.
