Hawley of your estate has opposition for the Republican nomination for Con- i rWAoa HPrft si a ' rV lnnttf Vim Viaha 4-Viici aAAWia nlmnof itiAAm. ; lirehensible. Mr. Hawley has grown in power and influence) sance he has beeahere until he has reached the unquestioned t position of being one of the real leaders of Congress. jf His work is not of the spectacular kind that usually re I suits in much talk on the floor of, the House and little else. -The most important work in Congress is done in. committees. ( Mr. Hawhy, several years ago, reached membership on the greatest committee of Congress,' the Ways and Means Com ; j- mittee, -and-1 know, by actual observation, being myself a i member of that committee, that his work in the committee i room has been tireless and of a very high order. In my judg- ment it would be a misfortune to the country as a whole and especially so to the state of Oregon, for whose interests he , was always on the alert, if Mr. Hawley should not be ue i turned to Congress, . ! . . Very sincerely yours, . ' i April 26th, 1922 j JOHN Q. TILSON. and efficient man when he sees one and observes "him in action. It is important and to the point that the people of Ore gon's First Conaressional district are as a whole intelligent and reading and observing people, and they are well aware of the truth of all Congressman ilson says: and they-pro- pose to make it all but unanimous for Mr. Hawley. at the May primary and the November election polls. NOT QUITE SO BAD IN OREGON One of the agents of the State Board of Control who goes around checking up things for the administration has a spe cially built six-cylinder car with electrical equipment. It has an electric cigar-lighter, curling irons and chafing dish. There is also a fancy clock and a silver bouquet-noiaer. Now all the state employees want cars of this caliber. The pay-roll patriots chafe for autos equipped with chafing dishes. The state is paying for the upkeep of some 800 cars now on be half .of the administration and if they must all be equipped with electric toasters and .curling irons it will take something more than that S93,000,000 to run the machine. Presently we will have a demand for a manicure girl with every car. Los Angeles Times. It is not quite so bad up here in Oregon; California is larger, and the piling up of commissions has been going on longer down there v And we had a killing of commissions some years ago up here. We have altogether too many, however, and there must be' another killing, and it must be more complete The commission abuse must be dug up by the roots. There is only one way to make it complete, and that is with a cabinet form of government, the head of each depart ment being responsible to the Governor, and the Governor being responsible to the people Like the Illinois form; like the Washington form, under which there has been effected a reduction of 50 per cent of the general fund state tax levy. Promises will not do it. There must be a program, and there must be perform ance. . A great deal of state money is being wasted, in Oregon, and there is no way to stop a large part of the waste, under commissions that, have no adequate check or control under tne present system , v ...... . ;. The only way is to get the control : to centralize it This will give an economical and business conduct of the state's affairs. It is to be presupposed that the of f ice of Governor must.be in strong, new, clean hands,-directed by a clear head. The friends of George A. White think thev have picked the man for the job and he stands flatly for the proposed new deal; the proposed cabinet system. Already mere is an enrollment or nearly 16,000 names in White for Governor, Clubs, committed to the new deal; and the list is . . . . 4 a growing very last. and catalogue eyery - item ol equipment without any note or uremorandum. On one occasion. after making a full report of obi serrations to the extent ot a thousand items or more, he re peated the full text of a lecture he ihad heard the night before. This was In the presence of the lecturer himself and was pro nounced perfect. A great mem ory offers a capacity for great pleasure, hut a good forgetery is airo a handy thing to hare. The retentive mind may become em barrassing. Sun Foo, she son of Sun Tat Sen, Is the first mayor of the re volutionized city ot Canton. It sounds rather sunny, but there are problems ahead that may wreck the experiment. The first mayor is 32 years old and was educated in an American school the University of California. Sun, the sunny son of Dr. Sun, was trained right, any way. Chinese Invading army stopped at gates of Pekin. They cannot Peekin. . There is no need to worry. Mr. Hawley will be returned, t ! Mr. Tilson is one of the big men of Congress. He' was born in the South. He graduated from Yale in 1891 and from' the Yale Law School in 1893. He became one of the leading lawyers of New Haven. During the war .with Spain he served ! , as a second lieutenant in the Sixth United States Volunteer Infantry, r He responded to the call of the President on June 120, 1916, and served on the Mexican border. He went to I France and served .there as Colonel of a Connecticut regi- ' ment, which was a part of the famous Yankee Division of ''hard fighters;. When he returned home "with his reirimpnt -his people of . the .Third Connecticut .Congressional district; .Beninim uacK 10 ingress, ne served his state in the Legis lature from the New Haven district, and was Speaker of the h Connecticut House of Representatives during the session of ; ' 1907.:: - t , i '.:?: I , : . - - "In a whirlwind speaking cam paign that he is making of the state Norblad is assailing Haw ley's poor record, with the result that he has-been rallying a sup port of surpristng proportions to his . candidacy,' says a writer in the Portland Telegram. ; Toh! as an Englishman would say, or bOBh? and Mha, lllln.a aa ann.A So Mr. Tilson knows a good and industrious and patriotic ' Americans would shy. .' There is Joe Tumulty, it is understood. is at work on a new book entitled. "Woodrow Wilson as I Thought I Knew Him." One day France is to quit the Genoa conference and the next she. is going to stick. Odr money goes on the latter proposition. Exchange. nothing to it but cold air. It does not arise to the semblence even of hot air. Former Vice-President Marsh all sayi that no man or woman who cannot speak or write the English language should be at lowed to become an American cit lien.

He had led a feverish and adventuresome life and much of the lurid fiction of his stories was reflected from his own career. In his later days he tried hard to get away from Nick Carter, but neither his pub lishers nor his readers would per mit It. They wanted Nick Carter and he kept Nick Carterlng until ht could stand it no longer. He had made and spent a fortune in developing the character of his rugged hero and was aweary ot his work. It wasn't literature and yet it had Its place and a sustained demand. After all, Nick Carter had a lot of friends who never heard of Carlyle. OWNING THE LAND The soviet government con tinues to deny the right of pri vate ownership of land in Russia. We should worry. Who wants to own any land in Russia? No man clothed in his right mind would trade a lot in West Salem or Sublimity for the whole Nevsky Prospekt or whatever they call It. There will never be any real estate boom In Moscow while Le nin and Trottky are still clutter ing up the place. THE DEAD ONES The most retentive memory in America is said .to belong to a native Indian of the Yakima tribe. His braia xjells register every thing he sees or tears. During the war he served with the army In France and was of much value in- carrying long messages ob serving positions or checking sup plies. When he was in camp he could call off a regimental roster ."- a a aiMa aaMaMa. , :. ' - . I ' - It seems that the pursuit of the Plesiosaurus has been officially abandoned. The expedition gath ered some - legends concerning this prehistoric monster, but dis closed no actual footprints. rfThere was no proof that &e had passed that way for tnirty cen turies. Certainly there was no si en of nresent life. The' man who. thought he had seen the mam moth outlined in the dusk ad mitted that it might have been a dead tree. It looks" as if the Plesiosaurus would stay defunct. BEARING THE WORLD The Biggest little Taper la the World Edited by Joha IL Millar nv h. ..ij . i l aa can be, but It's a happy kind ot sleepiness. . ,"1 should think you, would be sleepy,- said her mother, ''having ' been out In the open air all after- noon. What all did you dot?-. f'lt was an Indian powwow, ' Peggy explained. . We wanted to have a . hike, but we wanted it to ' be! different from Just in'brdinary : hue, ao we wprked up the pow wow idea. Most of the girls be- long te the Campflre and had In dlan costumes, and those that did v not! borrowed some. We started .. from Retina's house, which is '. right on the edge of town, you know, and hiked out the Hlggins Road, which isn't very much trav elled. We aU had packs ot blan- ' kets and things to eat.' 'How many girls were there? ' Twelve of us. But I was go ing to tell yon. how we happened to have the powwow. ..Miss Ryer- ' son, who hss always been so dandy to ua, happened to be telling how she was-out-in Glacier Park last summer; and some other placss in western Canada and United States and has studied particularly In dlan music and dances. - She'd promised to teach ns some of tho dances she worked out, and we thought this bike would be a good So she went along with us. It was. fun hiking. We Just kept; a good, .steady , walk, and we sang some as we went along. We stop ped every once In a while to look at flowers, but we didn't gather any, on account of having' no place to put them before they'd wilt And we tried to name all the different birds we saw,' too. j We kept - on ' walking nntn lata afternoon, and then we found a nice place to camp on the edge of a woods. There w as an open space there where we could have our. powwow, too. We stacked up our packs, because it wasn't time to eat yet. rf 'a "Then Miss Ryerson got us all in a circle and showed us how to do a ceremonial dance, and a war dance, ; and some kind ot a sun dance. They were very queer dances, but fun to do. And beinr out there in the. country wc could yell all we wanted to whet we were doing war dances. ; "After that we scattered and gathered wood and made a fire Just like real Indians, to cook out supper... We hadnt brought alone regular picnic truck lettuce sandwiches, hardboiled eggs, and that sort of stuff. We had bacon ard wieners and rolls for maklns our sandwiches. We made coffee, too. And we tried eggs In with the bacon. We had brought along potato chips and pickles ' and olives.!,. '' .' '; "' " -"Of course . we ended up b? toasting gobs of marshmallows in the nice coals. We had fixed long pointed . sticks for roasting the wieners, and these we used for the marshmallows. . w i "We spread but our blanket close to the fire and sang a lot. A couple of the girls had brought along their 'ukes.v so we had music. 'We " sang some "Indian songs, too, that Miss ' Ryerson t-"7vt 3. r " - "Then we started back to town because we wanted to get back be fore it was really dark. We 'whoop-eed' like Indians all the way back. "We're going to have some other hikes with a purpose later on. On one' we'll " wear middies and bloomers and learn folk dances, and on -another we'll go with our English teacher who's going to coach us ia an outdoor play. Don't you like the idea?'! "Indeed I do," said her mother. Goodnight, Minnehaha." ONE REEL YARNS I A DUMB TRICK Erwin and ' Tred were going home on the street car together. Not that this was unusual. They went everywhere together. You hardly ever saw one without the. other. What .Erwin couldn't think of doing, Fred could, and the other way -around. The street car was crowded. They were too jlate to get a seat, ma naa to nang to tne same rtrap. Suddenly with his . free iand Erwin began to make funny motions. He twisted his fingers about quickly In the queerest way. Then Fred caught on. He began to make the same sort of ges tures, his face very sober.. People about them began to notice. . "There's a couple of boys from the deat and dumb school," Fred heard one lady . say. "Isn't It a .heme? Such; fine, bright boyi too. Erwin and Fred continued their supposed conversation witfc thetr fingers as though unaware of any one else. Even the conductor was inter ested. "Yeh." he said to a man near him, "it's ' surprising how those kids get around. Saturday afternoons like this they let them go down to the mesuems by them selves. Just, this afternoon there were three "other boys on this car. ' - - ' Ttj two'toj-s were tavlu trou- t?v?AitrG .S Dit Keeping irom laugnmg . as they listened to the comments on their appearance. Then 'some one touched them on the shoulder.' It was the conductor, and they real Ized that the car had stopped. "Here's where these kids get oft for the school," he was saying "but they don't seem, to know it." He made signs to the two boys; but they looked at him blankly. "They're green ones,", be said. "but I. can't carry them' past." He took', a firm hold on their elbows and marched them out of the car. There was nothing to do but. go. And so Erwin and Fred alighted '.n front of the deaf and . dumb jchool. , . .. Away went the car, and Erwin ind Fred looked after . It, They were only half way home. Their pockets were empty. So they put their hands In them and started gloomily down the street. TODAY'S PUZZLE Hidden in the following sen tences are the names- of two French rivers: "Mrs. Marar neatly Iced the other cake."
