Not long ago the writer, .aeeompan-
led by his wife, in response to an in
vitation sent to the parents by the
teachers, attended a meeting at the
school house, called for the purpose of
rendering program to illustrate some
phases of the school work.
The entertainment which was an ex-

were doing some good work instilling
into youthful minds, lessons on pa.

jeets.

was a stranger to the writer, was then

His manner Of dealing with the mat

in his statements made as to the real
root eauses of this world eataelysm in
which we are now engulfed.
He told, very properly we think, of
the wicked works and schemes of the
enemy across the Atlantic and added:
That is the work of Germans in
those countries and that is the work
of Germans in our own land. "

Robert Crawford to take charge of the prison flax plant
at salary of 5000 month"; with the proviso that he
would receive bonus of $50 month if he made sue

Isdered making success" of it. Crawford so managed
the plant that at the end of about 16 months
round numbers $4,000 the good Governor Wihcombe
for some cause known only to himself removed Craw-
ford but refused to pay him the bonus claiming he had
not made good Suit brought against the governor
to compel him to allow the claim for $500 bonus but the
trial judge held that the suing Of the governor really
the suing of the state and sustained the demurrer
Then the governor brave asserted that Crawford should
not get cent of the bonus although he had offered to
pay him half of it before suit brought. This shows
the kind OF watchdog the governor of the state is He
stands for deliberate hold up Of the state for 81 400
year. and at the time gives the state cause to blush
at its own violation of a contract simply because the
person whom had selected to represent was
minded that he would make the state do injustice in
order to crafty petty gudge entertained by the petty
politician who now occupies the governors chair The
reason for the different degrees of watchdog activities
may be accounted for by the fact that the governor was
for good many years closely associated with Mr. Kerr
in the management of the O. A. c. and became imbibed
with many of that gentlemans pecuiartes.
