It’s a good thing there’s no obstacle to a third term for
spring hats.—Albany Democrat.
Yes, as Marjorie says, in exchange for the privilege
of voting the female of the species observes the traditions
of her mothers.
Concerning the Republican national convention soon
to be held in Chicago, Walter L. Tooze, Jr., thinks “ it
won’t do any harm to have one or two returned soldiers
back there from Oregon” and proposes to be one of them
himself. Walt, Jr., has the capacity for letting the sedate
Easterners know fifteen minutes after he arrives in town
that he has come from somewhere.
Announcement that Harvey (1. Starkweather will
contest with Chamberlain for the Democratic nomination
for U. S. senator indicates that the portion of Oregon
Democracy opposed to “ Our George” believes that'the
time is ripe to dethrone him. Mr. Starkweather is a very
genial man, of much ability, and a friend of the people.
Were he to represent the state of Oregon in the Senate
of the United States, he would always cling to the posi
tion that the interests of his people were paramount and
would register his vote accordingly.

THE RHYMING SUMMARIST
Our folks with black smeared face
Did nigger song and legging,
And Wee and W. B. cracked tneir jokes
Expecting—well, an egging;
They said unnt Moore stood Dehind the beds
That he’s been daily selling,
But if Clint does
It hardly was
A proper thing for telling.
There were little coons and big coons,
Mammy coons and others,
George Washington Thomas Jefferson Browns,
Yellow gals and brothers;
Being “ colored” is lots of fun,
No vein of humor’s bigger,
But it would be tough
And awful rough
To be born a nigger.
The humming birds have begun their hum
And bees their time are giving
To hunting sweets—they must do that
Or change their style of living;
Sadie says if the bees were wise
They’d keep her on the runny,
For when Ira falls
Her he calls,
“ His bunch of sugar honey.”
