HAVE YOU REGISTERED?
From the appearance of the
registration books it Is appar
ent that the fact that every
man must register In order to
participate In the primaries Is
not generally known. Only a
very small number of voters
have registered thus far. The
registration closes for the pri
maries September H. and any
man whose name d's not ap
pear in the registration books
will not be allowed to vote
in the primary election Sep
tember 24. The law Is rigid
and does not permit au elector
to swear in his vote at the pri
maries, as is done at the gen
eral election. If you do not
register you cannot vote at the.
primaries. This is a privilege
that you should hardly pass by.
Register. Do not delay, but "
register todav.

COLONEL E. HOFER.
Ernest Hofer, of Salem, Is a candi
date for Governor. He Is trying io
wrest the nomination from Hon. Grant
B. Dimlck, of Clackamas County. His
tactics are chameleon-like. Only last
month the many-sided Colonel pub
lished the following editorial in his
paper, the Salem Journal:
"County Judge Dimlck of Oregon
City has come out for governor on the
direct primary and economy Issues.
He has filed with the secretary of
state Ms intention to become a candi
date for governor on the Republican
ticket, declaring that he places him
self before the direct primary for
nomination.
"In his declaration he says he Is
oposed to extravagant appropriations
as well as the creation of additional
berths for salaried officers, boards and
commissions. He states he is in fa
vor of a more uniform system of high
way building and that he will oppose
any attempt to destroy the direct pri
mary' or the initiative and referen
dum. "He declares he desires to have the
following written after his name on
the ballot: 'Republican who Indorse?
the primary law and strict economy
in public affairs."
"The people appreciate the stanc
that Judge Dimlck has taken for pro
gressive policies In our state affairs,
and he Is today before the people on
a clean and outspoken platform.
"He was born and raised In this
county and there is no reason why
he should not get a large vote in old
Marion.
"Judge Dlmlc' was mayor of Ore
gon City four terms and was presiden
tial elector once and is serving a
county judge now.
"He has had a great deal of train
ing and equipment for the office of
governor, and besides he ia a native
son of Oregon.
"The Capital Journal believes the
people could do worse than make
Judge Dimlck governor and It wishes
him success."
It is now announced that Senator
Aldrich contemplates making au ex
planation tour through several West
ern states during the coming fail He
proposes to tell the people how well
off they are under the working cf the
new tariff law. Unless he is 3 better
explainer than Speaker Cannon the
Republican Congressional commiti-'e
better advise him to put in his spare
time superintending the construction
of his new J300,0u home.
Victor L. Berger, the Socialist lead
er, claims that successful government
can only be through the triumph of
the Socialist party. He believes that
no benefit should come to one element
of society without equally benefitting
society collectively. In other words
the mniority party is entitled to a
mufh consideration as though they
had been victors at the polls.
L'pton Sinclair thinks some multi
millionaire philanthropist should en
dow young authors. Great scheme.
With a proper endowment coining in
the young author could burn midnight
oil with the happy assurance thai
there would be enough coming Inti
keen toe woil from Hie dour 'on if
the nnappreciatlve publisher failel 'o
discern merit In his productions.
Out Experience is Yotits
During the thirty years of this bank's
existence, we have acquired considerable
experience.
Our experience and knowledge of busi
ness is turned to the advantage of our
customers, and will be a real benefit in
the majority of instances.
We ask you to become a customer, of
this bank, and as such, want you to feel
free at all times to consult our officers
upon any matters of concern.

The commission appointed by the
Massachusetts legislature to maUe In
quiries regarding the Increased cost
tif living has Just completed Its report.
The report covers a period of nine
years and the figures show an Increase
In the cost of food of Srt per rent
clothing 20 per cent, fuel 15 per cent
and rent 12 per cent, while the In
crease In wages has been 20 per cent.
The increase In the cost of necessities
does not represent all the Increase in
the price of living, as every year the
household adds something to the lux
ury side of the question, and as this
phase of the situation cannot be rem
edied by legislation, the commission
are of the opinion thai much of th-
Increased expense of homes could be
remedied.
Florence Nightingale, who recently
died In Uuidon, was the first and fore-
I most of the noble army of women who
of suffering soldiers! She cvririeneed
filter career by organizing a corps of
nurses for service In the Crimea In
lSli-l. In the war of the rebellion a"d
in the Franco-Prussian war in 1ST0
she was often consulted by santary
authorities regarding the best memod
of treating the sick and wounded.
The astute politician should neve,
write letters. Senator Chamberlain's
assembly letter was a serious error.
A simple little letter defeated General
Scott for the presidency in 1S52. Ver
bal statements are easily denied, hut
the fatal letter requires too much ex
planation. Governor Folk doesn't want the
Democratic party to get Into any en
tanglement with the different factious
of the Republican party, but wants
! them to stay right home and vote the
straight ticket. The governor wants
to make tariff for revenue only th
paramount issue in 1912.
Senator Cummins says that the Re
publican party cannot exist half stand
pat and half progressive. The Inter
necine strife must cease or the party
Is doomed. Greater men than Cum
mins have said the same thing, and
still the g. o. p. is doing business.
King George Is said to be snubbing
the American snobs who are courting
royal recognition. If the young king!
continues that policy he will make
himself more popular in America than
his revolutionary namesake.
Democratic free trade and the
empty dinner pail go hand in hand.
If you want to see the Mills tariff law
re-enatced and the panic of "93 repeat
ed, vote the Democratic ticket and see
history repeat itself.
At last the muckraker has trl
umphed. Balllnger is to resign, Aid
rich Is to be sidetracked and Cunnon
Is to be Ignored. Great is the power
of the muckraker!
The Spanish pretender denies tte
report that he is to marry the daugh
ter of J. Pierpont Morgan. Probably
J. P. could not see a dividend in that
kind of a merger.
The more they investigate the Okla
homa Indian scandal the more It looks
to an Impartial observer that the price
was not high enough.
Benefits ot Music
"Do you ueiieve ttiai music prevents
crime?"
"To a certain extent." replied M'.
Slnnlck. "When a man keeps both
bands and bis breatb busy witb a cor
net you know he can't be picking pock
ets, attempting homicide or slandering
his neighbors." Washington star.
A Comparison.
In a school at WasblugtoD a boy was
asked to compare the word "sick."
The little fellow arose In tns place,
looked around bltu for a moment, hi

"Yes "
"He bas perbap wondered what be

dess of Merer whose fame I on everv
tongue, but wboe face has never been
looked ujii since Ihe earth dragon
shook down the temple a century ago?"
"Hy Jore. yc" The doctor leaned
forward eagerly.
"He ha perlup heard of ihe price
less Jewels hum upon the sacred form
offering from royal pilgrim of many
ages. He ha Heard of the great em
erald that a on of heaven took from
bis royal brow and placed In Ihe hand
of the Godde of Mercy? The great
foreign physician would like to see all
these splendors and perhaps choose
some for himself?"
"Your story sounds Incredible, and
yet can you take me to the ruins
now?"
"Yes. It Is but a few steps to the
walnut grove "
"Walt. then, while I make ready"
Still skeptical as to tbe truth of the
native's story. Ur Osmond equlpiied
himself with cap and stout oaken
sUck from the rack. In the breast
pocket of his white coat was another
weapon without which he never trav
eled In tbls country of doubtful
friends-small and benry and shining
and very deadly looking when one
faced Its muzzle.
The doctor lighted a paper lantern
for the Canton man. and this, augment
ed by the white triangular ray from
bis electric ocke! lamp, lighted their
way through the garden to a gate In
the south wall that gave into a tangled
field.
On the farther side of the field the
walnut grove loomed blackly.
Under the trees the dilor and his
guide plck'd their way among tbe
crumbling columns and scattered
stones of the fallen temple.
Suddenly the Chinese paused and
swung his lantern about with a swift
circular movement, lighting up heaps
of broken rct and columns, rough
and forbidding. Just as they had fallen
He beckoned to Osmond, and the Int
ter bent hi back und followed his
guide through nn opening among the
debris that grew larger as they nd-vnin-ed
The ground sloped suddenly,
and he felt several stone steps beneath
his feet. He paused while Ihe Chinese
lifted a slab of stone and then another
und motioned him forward.
"If the gn at lord will go on ahead.
Ms servant will arrange the opening
that we may have air."
Nothing loaih. Osmond moved down
three shallow steps and found hlmseir
In a small chamber choked with debris.
Before l.e could look around there was
the dull clung of falling stone, and he
rushed up the steps only to knock tils
head against the stone that covered
the entrance.
It did not need the derisive cries
of the ''anion man to reveal to Dr.
Osmond tln.t he had been the victim
of n very flimsy plot. Ills threats and
command only brought forth Insults
from the lips of the Chinese.

After a vnln endeavor to lift the

his way down tbe steps and turned Ihe
rays of his lamp about the chamber,
The Image of (ho lioddewt of Mercy,
filling two thirds of the space, was
propped slantingly against one wall,
revealing tarnlsli.il splendors of paiul
and gliding, the staring, supercilious
eyes wet of painted porcelain, bill
nowhere was there n trace of the
precious gems with which tradition
had loaded the Image
There was n movement on Ihe out
stretched hand of Ihe tloddesa of
Mercy, and Osmond started violently;
a small venomous snake Inched lis

rapidly here and Ihele, and then he
understood Ihe full sweetness of the
Canton man a revenge, while the akin
elxnit his temples seemed lo shrink
with terror
The rays of the lamp fell on count

The Hashing of Ihe llghl seemed to
rouse Ihe reptiles to greater anger;
they hissed loudly mull he snapped It

overcame this oilier fear, and he
turned It on again, Ihe lease lived on
