If I can use my Imagination to help these gentlemen out. 4 am going to do it, but so far I can not see that my imagination is needed. It fs a very good exhibition! they have made for themselves in tak ing a clump of rocks and imagin ing it is a pyramid. The trouble will be to get everybody else to believe the same thing, but I guess we can do it If we agree; it is a pyramid. The discoverers of this see a very perfect pyramid. They see liuKe tunnels and runwayg. Hma not see them, but I Jcnow they are there, because these! men said so; just the same as I knew those ape men were there because one of the men came running past my house. He was running so fast that he couldn't stop. I don't know whatever did become of him He was still going the last I heard or him. increasing- speed as he went down hill. I have an!

Very re spectfully, : BILL SINCALLER " s.sion After flouriilering around for six months, blaming tire tariff, , Republican policies, the Republican administration, inefficient mill management, etc., the New , York Journal of Commerce : finally settles down to the following reason for the depres in the eotton textile industry : f j i f ; "vnen an is saia ana jaone. however,, u remains . true thai the : major item is labor expense.

The Journal would, as an advocate of free trade, adjust (the situation in There Is objection because dem agogues are always presuming to rpeak for the people. Who shall speak for the people? We submit that it i3 not fair to give the dem agogues a monopoly on this. It is not fair to have the special In terests get all the presentation and let the people be speechless. Tne trouble , with our politics selves. ; m no other way can we resist the blandishments "and sub- tlety of the smooth salesman. We must permit only legitimate stock propositions, to be offered, and the state .must be virtually Kick of theintegrity of everyone. i We 411 want to get rich, and get rich quick. Wo are tired of the slow drudgery of just getting by and wljien a smooth salesman ap peals to us on the proposition that 30 or 60 days will make us rich by expending $100, it is very natu ral forius to try to get that $100, and when we do get it we hand it orjito him. Furthermore, the violations of our blue sky laws mean that legitimate propositions must suf fer. A man who has been bitten by a fake will rtot be very apt to succumb a second time, but fakers live because a sucker , is born every rninute, and none ever die. The result, unfortunately, Is that many developing projects In the state of Oregon are made to suffer because they can not get capital with which to develop. It Is a serious; situation for legitimate promotion enterprises, and Gover nor Pierce has put his finger on one of the sore spots of the state.

It has been a continual fight to keep the party in line with its traditions,: and while this has been going on dem agogues have been sowing poison andthey have been able tq .reap a pretty fair crop. ; Thousands of the most honest men in the world have teen led astray because the demagogues have soft pedaled with them and presented fallacious things in a systematic and attrac tive: style. If the republican party is to continue to serve the people it must adhere to its traditions aim. De a peoples party, a -' con- fcnucuve pany; a party with a vision. It must not be governed oy special privilege; it must not be used as a vehicle of men for selfish purposes. It must be con secrated to the public welfare. ine republican party has met the'challenge of every hour for 60 years, it must meet the challenge of this hour by responding to the things, the people want. Senator McXary has been fighting for. the common people, fighting some times with his back to the wall. He got worsted in the last con gress but the things for which he fought will come up again and uregon needs him in the senate to continue this' fight for. the peo- plC. ' ' ;' . f .

It is a patriotic question, and In this year 124 it is highly important for Oregon to return McNary to the senate by a j tremendous -majority. .

If there is a string tied to; the repudiationlthere will be a tomorrow, and the men can be marked, later. This Is no time for using gloves.

Katie put her hand upon my arm and her lipa close to my ear. "Plees, I ..don't. like go in, she keel me eef she wake oop und find me snooping round her room." With an effort I repressed the inclination to inquire fiercely in return, what fate she thought awaited me were my august mother-in-law to waken, but I turned instead and tensely whispered: "Where ia it hidden?" I "You know dot pretty box mit roses und pictures ; of old-time ladies und mens on it?" "You mean her hat box?

Not another word." , She scuttled obediently and to her J credit noiselessly odown the stairs, and I waited beside the door for a long two minutes to see if my mother-in-law had jawak ened, . But the rasping sounds of what ! - he; euphoniously j terms heayy breathing.; but which j Dicky describes as the! "sincerest! snor ing on Long Island," went on without interruption. . . j So, with tense Inerves and quickly-beating ! pulees, I turned the knob with Infinite caution,; pushed the door ajar and slipped into the roonj. I had taken the precaution to turn out the hall light that she might'not be awakened by its sudden gleam, so I left the door ajar" that I might be able to escape quickly and noiselessly. "Oh I I Forget I held my breath as I made my way to the: clothes closet, deciding that; even jthe highly-colored life of a fiction burglar was notj worth while.'And while I was lifting the box jdown, recognizing It by1 touch rather than sight, and making my painful way back to the door,.

True, there lurked in the background. the ordeal o getting the banbbox back to Its place, but I did not have to con sider that for another half hour or so, and I was frankly trium phant as well as consumedly cur ious, when-1 rejoined Katie in the hall below, "Did you get eet?"'she whis pered excitedly. "Yes! Hush!" I returned as I hurried her into the library, lock ed the door behind me and put the box on the table. Then I looked around, enjoying my reac tion, the expressions of astonish ment upon the faces of the group before me. ' "Now, Katie, Bhow us where you hid j the paper," my father said, and I could' see that even his grave lips were periously near a broad smile. Katie, with a runny litte air of Importance, undid the fancy cords fastening the ornate box, lifted the lid and took out from Its tissue paper wrappings my mother-in-law's best fall hat. 8he had bought it late the previous sea- Ison, paying what was really quite u cAuruiuai price, i ana l knew she counted upon wearing it through the autumn.
