Now Comes The Lashing
The "failhful fourteen' senators
who blocked and defeated the gasoline
tax for tho Portland .show uro now
receiving llieif lashing from the Port
land 'Evening Telegram.
That newspaper !s picking out the
fair advocates in v . ferent towns of
the state, printing what they say in
an endeavor to discredit the fourteen
senators in their stand.
If tho Telegram will send a repre
sentative to learn tho sentiment of
Union and Wallowa counties at fintj
lhand we will board him and furnish
him cigars while ho is covering thj
field, provided, of course, the Tele
grafff will print the story as tho rep
resentative gets it from the people.
Wo! make that as an open challenge
to the Portland newspaper .1
It is up to the Telegram to be fair
and "end along Its man nnd failing to
do Bo, the people of this section will
know there is no desire on the pai-t
of the Portlnnd paper to give the sen
timent as. it actually exists. ,

iplo who looked up tho 'seating cu
pacity of thu local theaters ami

only 60,000 altogether,11 tor 12 per

purrent notion that nobody does

Another ' thing It doesn't soeni
to havo 'occurred to this Inquiring
citron to consider the saloon and
the effect of ILs abolition ,on gre-

the saloon rapacity In his city used
to bo G to 10 per cent of tho popu

IMG I IT ALONG
Three FliiRcred J?ick was with us
Not so very Jony ao,
Ho surely had us koIiik,
And we weren't goiiiR slow;
Ho told us that our gambling
And drinking we must stop,
We could no longer roll the bones
Or piu the PT top; - v
The pool halls were all dens of sin,
To take our hard-earned pay,
But,wo still went jazzing right along
In thu good old-fashioned way.
Ho razzed the city management,
Ho gavo tho cops a lis,
The KUttcrs Wcro ull filled with
' . drunks. :- . ,i
While hone slept In tho brig, i
We said good-bye Jaiz dances, . i
Our parties will bo gone,
There'll be no more wild jamborees:
With women, rwine nnd song.
Ho had us all scared bluo and pink
1'nttl ho had his say, i
But now we're jazzing Tight along,
Jn the same old-fashioned way.
Ho roared In all the pulpits.
And in our hearts struck fear, ,
Ho buttonholed the conBtlbule, I
. And bit Mm on the ear;
Ho said the moon should shine no
more, '
To cheer us up nt night.
For moonshine corrugates our pods
And makes us want to fight; i
And when ho said "now clap your
hamls,"
Wo knew 'twas h 1 to paj
TUil wP 'Btlir went Jazzing right along
In the good old-fashioned way.
Ho white-washed a1!! tho underworld
He nu out all the crooks,
Ho converted -till the criminals,
jAtld. lent thy ilt prayer books, j
Ho-tried to take our pipes away, j
- And bur deadly clgitrettes, ,
Ho pt a ban on chewing gum !
And gave1- us all the fretts.
Wo, wcro Jazzing straight toward
tlie'gravif
M'ith our fickle habits gny.
Hut we still are ja.zing .right uloiig, j
In our good old jaezy way. I
(h. Jack, coine back! some time
again.
We like to hear you talk.
Come raspberry our crooks again
And give the bums n shock.
We like to hear you fret and fume
And make the wicked gasp,
Oh m:ike .the old burg rattle .
With your throe-fingered grasp;
When yon emtio tiack to shake us up
And fur tin fit It'll pray, ;
Mill be jazzing; then as now. !
In our good old Jazzy way.
