Hawley did not have the ability he wrh not a leader among

might lead. The people ot the W lliameue vaney nave
seen Mr. Hawley denounced by Senator LaFollofte, one ol
the greatest of republicans, as a "me too" man; t iey liave
seen Former IWident Koosevelt bolt the republican parts
and rent it BHunder because of its apparent control by the
element whom Mr. Hawley has voted with for seven years;
they have seen President Wood row Wilson insisting upon
and demanding certain legislation in the interest of tin
common good with progressive republicans aiding him ami
the opposition coming in almost every instance from the
remnants of standpatism which iMr. Hawley has blindly
followed.
So the people of the Willamette valley are justified in
wishing a change. Vhil' a good majority ot them an
republicans and would rather have a man of their part,
to represent them, unfortunately Mr. Hawley received
their nomination- and rather than be further misrepresent
ed, they have turned to the democratic candidate, Fred S.
Hollister, who fortunately is a mar, of ability and influence;
not a blind partisan but a man who will act and thin it for
himself, always with the interests of the people of Oregon
at heart. Mr. Hawley's secretary has said that "Mr. Haw

in congress he cannot do much. While in yeiirH past both
republican and democratic members have been able to ac
complish a great deal though members of the minority, if
Mr. Hawley has not the ability being frank enough to
confess it, the people of this district are making no mistake
in taking him out and electing in his place a man who
politically is of the same faith as the administration.
Judging from Mr. Hawley's record for neven years and Mr.
Hollister' ability we would say that Mr. Hollister can ac
complish more in seven months than Mr. Hawley has m
eevmi years.

NO NEED TO WORRY
On the ground that he did not wish anything of a per
sonal nature in the voters' pamphlet, a cartoon submitted
by Robert E. flmith, showing Uren in a three shell game,
as a part of the argument against the 1 500 tax exempt
ion measure, was refused by Secretary of State Hon W.
Olcott. Mr. Olcott whs afraid that if a start were made in
the direction of personalities it would mean the gradual
degeneration of the voters' pamphlet into a joke. Nei
item in Salem Statesman.
Mr. Olcott need not worry. If he should issue the vot
ers' pamphlet in the shape of a dunce cup, printed it
motley colors, and with little tinkling bells suspended
from each corner, it could not be more of a joke than it i
now. He needn't lose eny s!e p over permitting a f v
cartoons to appear in it. He might sen.! it out as a comic
supplement, illustrated with drawings of the Katzenjam
mer Kids, the Newly Wt da and Happy Hooligan, and itf
dignity would not he materially lower d, for the voter.-'
pamphlet is the great Oregon joke
This pamphlet purports to be the official publication of
the state, and the uninitiated voter is therefore led to con
elude that tha statements ctntaiued in it have been sub
jected to o flic in I scrutiny and found to he true Tliis i
not the case, however. There is nothing oilieial about it
except the name and the fact that it is ismiwl b the .-tate

Mr. Olcott may set his mind at rest. The voters' pam
'phlet is alieady a huj:e joke, but it i not easy to laugh at
it because the cost of mailing it out takes away the humor.

A Mild Accusation.
I'm -le Henry Unities was one of the
mildest of men. No one had ever seen
hi in angry or Impatient, but when his
old time ueighbor and supposed friend,
John Hagland. deliberately cheated
him out of $1)00 even his kindly, pa
tient spirit was ruffled.
"Some time," he remarked to his wife,
I'm going to tell that man what I
think of him."
One day he came home highly dissat
isfied with himself. "1 saw John Rag
land today, and I told biiii straight out
what I thought of him," he said.
"What did you say?" asked his wife.
"1 told him I thought he was a very
unreasonable man." Youth's Compan

Buried Treasures In Morocoo.
In Morocco it Is customary for a
man to bury most of his riches tn a
place known only to himself. This cus

cannot trust their own family, who
would murder them dlrecUy If It were
known where the money was. At the
