'My opinion Is," continued the I ' knighted by the late Kin? Edward

make Rood as an individual In Ore

pered in late years, be Is not the mun
to represent Oregon in the senate."
Had Mr. Lane stopped to consider
the prosperity of Milton people, had

would have changed his scream ot

He began life as a clerk in the Pure
Literature society, and was Induced to
assist in the evening In a local rag

the KsItion of assistant secretary to
the Haggid School union. This he
did, succeeding In 18C7 to his present

Harry Lane of Portland has the
democratic nomination for I'nlted
States senator, as everyone knows.
That nomination was secured, accord
ing to apparently well founded state
ments from leading democrats by
Lane double crossing Walter M.
Pierce, for the thorough and com
plete understanding - In . democratic
circles was that Lane would not con
test Pierce for the nomination. .
N;w that he is the nominee let us
turn for a thorough inspection of the
man who asks support from the peo
ple. At Milton a few days ago he deliv
ered a speech in which he pleaded for
election because as he put it, "I am
Indpendenetly poor and superlatively
mean.'
He told In the beginning of that
speech what a great state Is Oregon.
He dwelt at length upon the opportu
nities offered here for any man, and
Immediately followed with the state
ment that he was very, very poor.
In attitude and nose that resembled
Jerry Simpson or bloody Bridle
Walte when Populism was In flower.
Lane dwelt upon his poverty.
How was it received by Milton
people?

The scientists now set th end of
the world 300,000 years hence. This
In good news, for It will allow the
completion of many projects now un
der way. '' There has been a fear that
the world might end arter Champ
Clark had carried Illinois and It Is
comforting to know that there is go
ing to be a little leeway.
The world bhould be able to accom
plish much in 300.000 years. 'I.iobo
who are paying for encyclopedias on
the Installment plan may, through
their heirs, be able to liquidate be
fore the final day. In 300,000 yearn
there may be a phonograph that will
not fcqneak, wooden legs that will
fit, haircuts that will not grow n'H
ged around the edges, barbers who
will not talk baseball, celluloid col
lars that will not catch fire, sewing
circles that will not gossip and elas
tic suspenders that will not break in
the middle of a two-step.
In 300,000 years It may be possible
to shoo Lorimer and Uncle Ike Steph
enson out of the senate and to have
a Lew secretary of agriculture in the
place of Uncle Jim Wilson. Reall;'
theie ls'no telling what may happen
In so great a stretch of time. Con
gress may be sending out garden

Concessional Record may get to

tnauked for allowing us so much ex
tra time.

New York City Is to have a thea

edly grows out of the tremendous
patronage of the moving picture
