The SPIRIT OF THE PAST

Those men who haves fought
who have braved all dangers even
at the risk of their own lives, to
give US liberty, are worthy of the
remembrance and respect of all.
George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln, two of the greatest
men that our country has ever. or
ever produce were both born in
the country where they developed
into youths of manly characters.
Neither lost courage in the
cause for which they struggled
They were stong, persevering
and patriotic. These qualities if
copied viii lead the youths of to-
day to be good citizens.
Through these men were differ
ent they were united in one
thought the defense and the pro
lection of the country were their
chief aims.
In studying the lives of these
heroes this month, spirit of the
past is brought into the school
room. To them we owe our pros
oerity in this great republic.

The writ of commitment was issued to the sheriff of Thurston County who inn mediately sent one of his deputies in search of Humes.
 The contempt proceedings grew out of the refusal of the highway engineer to deliver to the State Highway Committee some of it's records seized by the engineer last May when Governor Hartley, one of the members of the committee. split with State Auditor Clauses and State Treasurer Puts.
 Humes was appointed Highway Engineer by Governor Hartley.
 Hume's defense in the contempt proceedings was that the State Di- rector of Highways and Efficiency, also a gubernatorlal appointee. had taken over the records to make an audit. and that he was physically unable to deliver them.
