Nothing Is more wearing or a more
fruitful source of unhappiness In the
long run than to be self-centered. If
our thoughts and plans, our hopes and
fears. our ideals and ambitions all
center in our own personal comfort
and happiness, there must come many
a day of infinite WEAKNESS and self
disgust when life does not seem worth
living. Poverty or riches have very
little to do with 1t. You will find Just
as many weh-to-do people as poor. for
whom life has lost Its spice and en-

TRAPP BECOMES
OKLAHOMA CHEF
Governor Walton Removed From
Office BY State Senate
Court
SIX ARTICLES ARE DISMISSED
Voted Guilty Of II of is Charges Pre-
sented; Court, BY Standing Vote
Denies New Trial.

Oklahoma City,. c. Walton, fifth
governor of Oklahoma, was removed
from office by unanimous vote of the
state senate court Of impeachment

ton in office, neglect of duty. moral
:urpitude and general incompetence

the executive had been found guilty
OF II of the 16 charges presented. Tha
vote was Al to 0.
Six Of the original charges consti-
tuting the impeachment bill were dis.
missed by order of the court.
The court, by standing vote, de-
MED motion for a new trial which
Governor Waltons counsel filed imme-
diately after the verdict was an.
nounced.
The governors removal although
not formally ordered until after a
verdict had been returned on each
court found him guilty of abusing his
pardon and parole authority, the first
charge to be voted upon.
Forty-one senators, lacking only
one of the total membership of the
body, voted for conviction. Senator
Jack Barker, who has consistently
voted in the governors favor through
out the 16 days of the trial, was alb
sent.
The articles of impeachment were
filed by the lower house of the state
legislature, which less than two
months ago the executive had dis
persed by military force.

Lieutenant Governor NJ E. Trapp be-
came governor. Trapp has been lieu
tenant governor during two four-year
administrations and has been acting
governor since October 23, wnen the
senate suspended Governor Walton
after the filing of the impeachment
charges.
