Daily, by 'arrlfr, per month ROSEBURG, OREGON, ON PICKING THE GOVKUNOIl THE Oregon Voter thinks that those who poke fun at State Senator Kennett as a clown candidate for gover nor are due for a .surprise when the primary voles are count ed. "We regard him," says the Voter, "as by far the most formidable contender against Governor Patterson, with a fighting chance for him to win the nomination and the elec tion." ; The Voter reminds us all that a clown always attracts the curious. However, that term for Mr. Bennett seems to be a misnomer uny way, for according to the Voter he lacks a sence of humor. A clown is consciously funny. Maybe the Voter is right in its opinion thai it would not be so bad to have Mr. Bennett for governor after all. Things are a little drab in Oregon officialdom these days. It is a long time since we had u Pennoyer to tell a president of the United States to mind his own business or a West to Bend a pretty lady secretary on a Copperfield gambling raid or a Kitner to empty the penitentiary over night. It would be thrilling to have a governor again who would do the kii.d of things that make the front page all over the United States, as those incumbents did. So more power to the Vot er's Pennett boom. The Salem Statesman, it will be recalled has already on its own account renominated and re-elected Governor Pat terson. The Oregon City Enterprise the other day published a long analysis of the situation in which it placed the gover nor and State Treasurer Tom Kay equally in the foreground, each jockeying for advantage. So hero are three different editors each close to public affairs and each a student of practical politics, each getting a view of the situation differ ent from the other two. And that strengthens this writer's own view, previously stated, thai the game is not yet in the bag for any aspirant and nobody is going to have a walk over. o Belgians are spending many thousands of dollars in a nation-wide campaign throughout the United States of propaganda designed to perpetuate the inscription on the fa cade of the restored library of the University of Iuivnin: "Furore Teulonica Dirula; Dono Americano Bestituto," which, freely translated, means: "Destroyed by Gorman fury;; restored by American generosity." It is u mistaken crusade. The mistake is not lessened by the fact that the first part of the couplet approximates truth. War hatreds should be allowed to wane and die. The process will not only be hindered by perpetuating in living stone in so conspicuous a place a reproach so provocative. o The New York legislature has adjourned after enacting a law for a gasoline tax of two cents a gallon, willing out th ! direct tax entirely and lining exemptions under the income tax law to $2500 for single men and $1000 Tor married men. Out here we would think that a rather happy situation for any state but the N';v York World declares the legislature has muddled most of its work and Governor Roosevelt ex presses the opinion that the legislature has left a deficit of from $1,000,000 to $0,000,000 which will develop later. Every state in the union now has a gasoline lax except Illinois, where the proposal is involved in litigation. POEM FOR THE DAY : . By l.OUIS ALBKRT HANKS f HE PASS!

THE BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER The blue-gray gnat catcher has many interesting characteristics. He may be in itie vicinity of the home all summer and, if no one in the family takes a special inter est in birds, he may never be dis covered. He lives very largely in the upper branches, often of large trees. The note is weak and sug gests the distant call of the oat bird, so far away that you just can hear him. These birds ale quite plentiful south of forty-two de grees of latitude. Their greatest numbers are to be found in Geor gia. Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Ohio and southern Pennsylvania in summer months, though they sometimes breed in Illinois and Indiana and out hern Michigan. They are little fellows only tour and a half inches Jong, but are tremendous workers of gre t skill and the proverbial patience o. Job. They are most adventurous Utile birds. They have been seen to ou ter a Long, small water-pipe used as a hitching rack for horses and traverse -the entire distance, em erging -from the o'her .end. Jle has a black forehead; tall black with white edges and tips on the outer feathers. The nest of the -blue-gray -gnat-criteher is a marvel of architectural skill and patient hard work the greatest known among -birds. They like to build on a horizontal limb of a large tree from twenty to forty feet above the ground. The outside Is coated with lichens held together by cobwebs, yet they man age to fasten It solidly in place. On tiie inside it is lined with plant down, and the walls, though high, are so constructed that from the ground it looks like a natural knot on the tree. They have four or five greenish eggs daintily speckled with red. THE TINY CARPENTER 0 tiny carpenter, I hail! 1 would pursuo your happy trail. Your wondrous nest so interests me; I would your architecture see. I count your work the finest skill That e'er was shown by bird-like bill. No eagle ever has displayed Ah grand a house as you have made. How sweet your HtUe house of threads You plucked from moss in stony beds! How soft it's lined with fine spun wool Your patient bill had grace to pull! With cobwebs frail yau tied it fast. And bound it till your nest would last To keep your babies safe and warm. And shield them surely from all harm. I see yrti In that treetop scene, As flitting round amid the green You clean the air and make it pure You do your part its needs to cure. You fill your bidden shady place Willi quiet beautifying grace. I hope that I, in higher sphere. Shall measure to my belt as near. You blue-gray fenthered tiny mite. You fill my soul with tender light. I think of Him In Nazareth town, With hands all rough nnd sun burned brown In building houses down the street. And toiling on in cold or heat; He, too, was patient, just like you. And wrought the very best Ho knew. We buy wool and mohair. Whar ton Bros, OUT OUR WAY Jt-SS C-O.E.
