F. E. Doremus, Leader In
Democratic Campaign.
Any man who goes across the water to fight should not
be allowed to come back.
"If in doubt vote No" but there is no reason in the world
why anybody should be in doubt.
Nobody can give a single .mod reason why there tdiouid
be a war in Europe at llio present time.
Political wiseheuds say that Bill Ilanley is making votes.
Judging from the primary returns, votes are Hill's greatest
need.
Several weeks ago we were told by the Oregonian how
European diplomats were ncoUing at the "watchful waiting"
polioy of Wilson and Bryan. Comment in unnecessary.
W hen republicans in convention assembled come to thai

A number of insignificant, know-nothing stand-pat

advising their readers to vote "no" on all initiative
and referendum measures found on the ballot at the
coming election. No one with a spoonful of brains or
the smallest atom of patriotism would advocate such a
mode of procedure. No doubt there will be measures

A Mild Accusation.
I'ncle Henry Knrues was one of the
mildest of men. No one bad ever seen
him angry or Impatient, but when his
old time neighbor and supposed friend,
John IitiKlnnd, deliberately cheated
him out of $1100 even bis kindly, pa
tlent spirit was ruffled.
"Some time," he remarked to bis wife,
"I in going to tell that man what I
think or him."
One day he came home highly dissat
Ixrled with himself. "1 saw John Rag-
land today, and I told him straight out
what I thought of him," be said.
"What did you say?" asked his wife.

unreasonable man." Youth's Compan

Buried Treasures In Morcoo.
In Morocco It is customary for a
man to bury most of bis riches In a
place known ouly to himself. This cus
tom Is practiced by all Moors, for they
cannot trust their owa family, who
would murder them directly If it were
known where the money was. At the
death of the head of a family in Mo
rocco digging operations commence at
once, but seldom is the money discov
ered. There must be many fortuues
buried awny hi odd corners of the
country. An instance catue under the
writer's notice at one of the coast
towns. iHirlng the demolition of a
bouse a considerable sum of money
was found built Into the wall. London
