Mr. Hawley's campaign committee in some

A Portland paper is asking its readers if Char
ley Chaplin is worth 8670,000.00 a year. While
there is a possibility that Charley is getting that
much money, his actual worth in our opinion
would be nearly accurate by putting the decimal
point between the six and seven.
We always supposed there was no such animal,
but recently we found an editor who quit the
banking business to become a newspaper man.
So it is not beyond the realm of possibility that
some day some editor will violate the rules of
nature and quit the newspaper business to become
a banker.
Any candidate gets the cheers and applause.
lhe hall is always filled with his political friends.
Most of the other fellows are not present. The
are down at the other hall cheering their own.
So the candidate always gets a whoop, regardless
ot what he sa)s. If he didn t, the surprise would
kill him on the spot.
Mr. Hawley's campaign committee, or that por
tion 01 it enougn interested in his success to
attend a meeting, makes reference to Mr.Hawley
staying in Washington and attendingto his duties
during the hot summer months. Evidently Mr.
Hawley's committee doesn't keep track of him
very closely. The Pacific Woodman for August,
page 14, contains the information that Mr. Haw
ley was present at a meeting of the head managers
of the W. 0. W. held in Denver on July 10, that
he was still present on July 17 and that the body.
of which he is a member did not adjourn until
July 26. So he was in Denver and not in Wash
ington most of the month of July. Mr. Hawley
has lor a number ot years been one of the head
managers of the W. O. W., receiving 875
month, and his campaign slogan ot "
to serve but the public interests"

77ie Tuxedo Hour
by Walt Mason
Tuxedo's bully all the rime; it makes the passing
hours sublime, and by its soft and gracious curves it
soothes the soul and rests the nerves, and fills my
bosom, once again, with peace on earth good will
to men. But best I like it when I've fed this face of
mine with jam and bread. When I have dined on Irish
stew and beans and boiled potatoes, too, and pie
and eggs and cheese and tripe, 'tis then I best enjoy
my pipe. When from the table I withdraw, I grip
my briar with my jaw, and fill ii with Tuxedo mild
the pure Tuxedo undefiled and smoke away in
perfect bliss ; 'no pleasure can cortnpare with this.
And in the curling smoke I see a world that seemeth
good to me. A world that's debonair and "gay, its
woes and worries done away. The plans that seemed
foredoomed to fail, the work that seemed of no avail,
now wear the rosy glow of hope, and I endorse all
sunshine dope. Ti3 thus in my Tuxedo hour ; the
world that seemed eo dark and dour, is blooming like
a rose of spring, and I'm in mood to laugh and sing.

AN attorney, angered becauM of sn sJverse ruling by
the juJjje, left the courtroom, remarking to another
lawyer that "the judge was an ass snd shouldn't be on the
bench."
refore the case ended th judge heafd of the remark
and called tt attorney before him.
"1 hear," said the irate judg, "that you called me an
ass and aid 1 ousrht not to be on the bench."
"Sure!" replied the quick witted attorney. "Anybody
with your profound knowledge of law is an ass to be on
the bench. You oii!ht to be pructioin before the bar,
where vour talents could be cashed
d intii big money."
COOK BY WIRE. IT'S ASNAP!
Cook by wire! Nix on the fire! Fire went out of date, my dear,
when Billy Sunday discovered water. What year do you think thU ia
1900? How ailly! Don't you know this i the age when a taxi is born
very minute, thipa at sea have argume- ts while three thousand milci
apart and musical ahows only carry three or four wardrobe trunks!
Fancy!
We're not cooking any longer with wood, ashes, dirty kitchens,
coal, gusoline, Roman candles, matches, wood, smoke nor range which
nsaka you a hot ss Helene, the Russian queen of 411 C. O. L).
Wood is now being used for cafe tables, coal is sold exclusively to
Central Stations, gaa has all it aan do to take cars of political speeches
and gasoline is so expensive that only kings and waiters can afford to
cook with it. Smoke, fumea, sooty pots and the other old fashioned
things have been laid on the shelf with bicycles, suspenders and Teddy
Roosevelt "why. woman, this is lttlti! Today electric range and
aeroplane factories work three shiftsl Yesterday 90,000 hamlets were
'killed" in a movie war! Real sharks are pulling the resorters' legs at
Atlantic City this year! This It 1916!
The electric range is fascinating, chummy, homev, Utopian and
every ether fancy adjective you can thii.k of! it is guaranted to re
move work, wony and widowhood ar.d make Monday morrirg seem like
Saturday afternoon with birdies singii-g in the tree tops.
Electric cooking is dellcioua, fatterirg, eugenic, god-like, ferocious,
and ten times better than mother used to make. In fact, sorr.e won.en
are so crazy about it that the sale of canntd sardines drorted from
sis to 18 cents in one town in one week. Name on request? Lykelle!
Order your electric range now! It will put jour favorite dream of
heaven in the piker elasa! Don't worry about the price! Tapa will
settle if you know how to work it! The scheme-not the rarge! As
VVoodrow Wilson says, "Write today!"
