THE RUSSELL INVESTIGATION

In the opinion or Tho world thorough in
vcstigution OF tho charges made against the
governor by Campbell Russell should be made
The authority of tho investigating committee
should bo broad that II will permit the In
vcstigatlon not only of the governor but also
OF Russell.
Tho member of tho corporation commission
has been for months circulating a publication
filled with charges against the highest officer
of the state government one OF two things is
manifestly true; Either the governor Is guilty
of the gravcst derehctions or the author of those
charges is not only unfit to hold a public Of
fcc, but Ls n menace to the state.
The boldness OF Russell In making the chargcs
and the apparent willingness OF the governor
TO have his every act impartially investigated Z
leaves the average citizen nonplussed. 1t is
almost unbelievable that any man would he so
lost to all OF responsibility AZ to make
such charges Russell has made unless he
was amply prepared to prove them. on the

dignant denial of the governor begs explana-

consequence.
Anything lees will he tarce No rules of
evidence or law OF precedent should be invok ed
TO cloud the issue in the slightest. what the
entire citizenship OF the state wants to know is
whether or not the Russell charges are at ali
justified. II so. then the governor stands in

offcnse he has committed,
The public is not concerned over any politi-

TnE GIsEATEK PART

Copyright, 1920, by Edgar A Guest
The rain comes pelting down, and then
The sun begins to shine again,
one day misfortune comes along,
The next we sing cheerful song.
But when it an is understood,
The greater part OF life is good
what If today we're deep in woe
Tomorrow an our cares may go.
To-day as failures We come in
Tomorrow We may fight and win,
And when the sum 81 life we add
The good Wen find exceeds the bad.
There's more OF sunshine than OF rain.
There's more Of pleasure than Of pain,
Throughout each mortgl's span OF years
There's more OF laughter than OF tears,
Aud seldom God sends down a care
That is too much for man To bear.
40 let's be brave in grief or pain
And wait tin skies grow blue again,
Let's live our hours of darkness through
Iutl the sun shall shine anew,
