FLIMSY POLITICS It is a wonder that political tactics in Oregon of the old blackmailing '.type should still prevail, and even have adherents sufficiently gullible to bo Imposed upon. They are still helping over tho old libel In regard to R. N. Stnnfiold holding his wool crop and making immenso sums of money at the expense of the govern ment, when it has been shown over and ovor ngain that Stanfield's wool was at the command of the govern ment nt any time and all the time. And if the owner of this alleged I great amount of wool would' hot ro- , ., .. ., ' . lease the same, It was subject, to o. commandcrcd tho snmc ns all other supiilios which tho government needs are taken whenever It is necessary for the benefit of the country now nt war. - ' All that can be hoped to be gained by continuous repetition of such lib clous matter is to create a prejudice against Mr. Stanfield because lie happens to be u man of energy' nnd industry and has made a business success. - s. ; ; If ho had made a failure of the sheep and stock business, ho would still be berated by this cIosb of poli ticians because he had not made a success. It doesn't make any differ ence to the class of political bush whackers who stop nt no means that will besmirch reputation for the fan- cicd success which such disreputable tactics will bring. ' The level-headed everyday Oregon inn knows better thnn to place any stock or confidence in such stuff, ami for this reason alone there is quite liable to be a reaction that will bring as it should stronger support than Mr. Stanfield would have Tocclved without having been mndc the obje.-t of this calumny. A DOUBLE OFFKNSIVK. According to German reports there iB to be an offensive against the Ital ian front nt the same time that the operations against the western front are renewed. It may be so. Hut it looks like von Hindenburg's forces will have enough to do to make head way through the French and IJrltish li'ies. It is n safe enough guess that if any severe inroads wcro to lie made on either of the objective lines, that movement would have been pulled, iff long ago.' In the meantime Urn nllio.l f.nee. 1 are apparently ready for anything that n. ay come up along tho battle front In either French or Belgian ter ritory. The failure to follow up the artillery storming of the past few days indicates that the German rock nu.c .r able to do is weakening. ' And this pmVen It look more nnd more like the proposed double offenslvo In for home consumption. RECEPTION FOR PIONEEItS. --. That is a good 'movement proposed by dnughtors of pioneer parents to perfect an organization with the pri- ! mary object of providing suitable en tertainment for the pioneers who will moot in annitul session at Riverside Park. It is not too much to assume that thoso who came to this valley ! among the first and v ero then in their prlmo are now mostly beyond tho age when they should be required to pro vide thinselvcs with what they muv need to enjoy on ocencioh of this kind. There are enough of th younger generation to look out for thoso who hove reached the patriar chal ago. There is enough of the rM neighborly feeling in and orour.J , .,. .u.

An instance In point happened when Jack Conway was directing Ella Hall In "The Chann or," the Bluebird to be exhibited at tho ' Star Theatre today and tomorrow. Miss Mull unud a trained monkey as tho pet of the. little orphan sho Interprets In the screen slory.. Tho monkey was "re- 1 noarsea in nis part ior u weeuo In Which the "monk" was in mischief. Covered with flour and ' dough from his rummagings in the kitchen, the monkey was supposed to be discovered at his pranks by the little orphan. Ho was trained to Jump down from a tabic, thence onto a chair nnd In ono lenp dls nppcan through .an open window, passing over a sink containing a paniui or tiisnes wig gin nau ueen reluctant to wash. Caniuras wero set to catch tho nionltoy In his kttchon gyninastlcs, and anolhur machine was placed In the yard, ,, th0 wlmlow, the two chines being charged with photo-.feats graphing the Utile chlnip on Ills; couipieieu voyage ironi niiscniei 10 tho open air.- When the moment came to begin actual operations the monkey mado the leap from "take-off," but In stead of jumping to the chair, he made a wild leap into tho pan of dlshos, and then proceeded through tho open window. Kntlrely un invited n cat ambled onto tho scene In tlio door-yard and when the monkey joyously vaulted through the window he landed squarely on tho cat. Tho camera . out-of-doors was grinding away and photo grnimcd a scone of unexpected anil unrclienrsed animation. Making dual leaps six feet in the air, cat and monkey "mixed It up" In rough and tumble scrimmage for half a moment and then the Itwinlrnv t.u-A Pit Mu f..ll Tno , whon UcveIop(,,, , the film, proved to bo ono of tho most spontaneous . "hits" liiiugiiiahle. Tho Incident could never have been prearranged, for animal training nnd cniiiera-woi k could never have been so deliberately blended. It's a real fight, for tho brief lapse or time necessary for the cat to con sume In making the monkey quit his fur-piillltiK and sleocdaddlo. ARC A DE I Hippodmuu Vaudeville Tomorrow.

"The gangplank was Just being rigged when the uhlp suddenly gave a lurch nd went over to an angle of 45 degrees," said a member of the naval gun crew.
