Allen. governor of Kansas when in
Now York welcoming the Kansas
troops, was asked what he thought
of the job of being governor.
q shouldn't advise a young man
to take it on as an attractive and
easy occupation" he said The job
has not regular hours and is not, as
manv believe, all indoor work.
Being governor is the only employ
ment | ever attempted which made
running a newspaper (The Wichita
Beacon) seem like an easy sort of
job. Yet at the conclusion of my
busiest days ] can't figure up where
the governor has earned his salary.
"The most eart-breaking things
about my job is that when man
goes into it he takes it rather seri-
ously. Then he discovers that all a
large per cent of the people expect
of him is to keep a smiling front
and go to picnics. And when one
committee calls to invite you tc
their picnic and finds you're at an
other, the story is started that the
governor is a gadabout, never in his
office

RAMEY WRITES LETTER
TO cHlCkAsHA PEOPLE

81 have completed my work for the
Chickasha schools and will soon &c
hence. / take this occasion to ex
press my high appreciation to many
friends and patrons Of the schools for
their many acts Of kindness, their
courtesies and loyal support shown
me during my labors in this city.
have given eleven of the best years
of my life in earnest, faithful service
to the building of your schools and
| am proud to leave them in the
present high state OF efficiency and
organization. When | took charge of
the schools they were not in the best
repute, today they are known all over
the state as equal to the best and
they are the greatest asset of your
city.
Il know that | am leaving host
of friends among the business men
Of the city, the patrons of the schools
and loyal friends OF the twenty-five
hundred boys and girls who were pu.
pills in the schools and whose best
interest l always endeavored to
serve.'
This change comes not because
Of any defect in the schools or of
their administration. The past year
proved to be the best in the history
of the schools. In my judgment no
improvement in conditions or in ad-
ministration will come about by tho
change. Time will tell the story
81 shall not soon forget the loyal
support given me by w. 7. Cloud and
B. b. Barefoot, members of the
board. after due consideration of
what the people wanted and not SO
much for me personally but more for
what they thought for the best inter
est of the schools. However, when
the decision of board of education
is made though by majority of only
one vote regardless of what the great
majority of the taxpayers want it
must prevail and | cheerfully concede
such decision
"Tursting that my life, my work
and my influence, among the young

their lives and make for better cit
