But in this, as in everything else, the work is curried on by u few. These few do not ask of others a great deal in time, but they do ask of those who have loved ones sleep ing there that they keep up the small assessment that is required in order that the work may be con tinued. The work so nobly begun is about to fail for lack of interest upon the part of those who uro neglectful in paying the pittance that is asked for so noble an enterprise.

THE MOST DASTARDLY COWARD. POLITICAL FAKER UNCOM FORTABLE. The greatest aid the political de ceiver had in past years was the fact that there was no way to "heck up on whether he did what he promised. If he promised a 50 per cent tux reduction he was elect ed. At the next election he claimed that he hud made the reduction as promised. Hi» opponents denied the claim in toto but they had no fig ures to back their statements. The result was that we never knew being fiim- whether we were flammed. Oue office-seeker or calamity howler would come along and say that we wen* going to the demni- tion bow-wows because we were head over heels in debt uud an- other would say that we were going to the same place for the reason that we weren’t spending enough. We hud no figures to prove or dis prove such statements. Today we are in no such predica ment. The Oregon Voter gives the cold figures that give the lie to many who have made wild stale- meats or wild promises, Its uccu- nicy is remarkable and it is abso lutely fearless in giving actual con ditions. The Voter makes the way of the political faker decidedly uncomfort able.
