Joseph swept Oregon Friday, winning the republican nomination for governor by a decisive plurality. Fighting lone-handed, making real issues where none had been before, the fiery Portland lawyer espousing the cause of the under-fellow, crashed through entrenched opposition of party regulars, newspaper opinion and aggressive competition to give the party and the state the greatest upset it has had in many a yearWith conservative opposition divided between Norblad and Corbett Joseph captured the "progressive" aide of the party, sucked up some democratic support through shifted registrations, and walked away with the coveted nomination. The contest in November promises to be keen if the die-hards refuse to support Joseph and throw their strength to Bailey, the democratic candidate. There will be many explanations of the landslide to Jos eph. Business depression, unemployment, falling prices for commodities, revelation of utility practices which provoked popular condemnation, the Portland tenncent car fare, these worked to Joseph's favor when he capitalized them as his is- sue. Then he had the tremendous advertising irom nis ais hormant trial wlna thp c-rfcssive advertising and speaking ls warn wivti v v a. m f e O " campaign which he put on in the past month. Joseph attack ed, attacked, attacked, on "land, sea ana air. ne employe modern methods: Newspapers, airships, radio, and in addi tion the old method of speechmaking and handshaking. Joseph was the gladiator with the power trust as the lion he was fighting. The crowd was in a mood for a Roman holiday, and Joseph was the swordsman battling in the arena. He caught the public eye, he -galvanized public support. Where others were pallid, he was aggressive. Where others labored he glowed. . . The popular feeling that the public service commission was rather an impotent body when it comes to control of utilities was an influence; and the revolt of the street-car riders' in Portland against the levy of a ten-cent fare worked mightily in Joseph's favor, for his single-handed victory against the utilities in their merger efforts of two years ago wis well remembered. Governor Norblad made a gallant race. Only a few in discretions of his own and the mistakes of his Portland strategy board defeated him. Corbett suffered from having inherited wealth. With the people in their present mood you can't; make a sow's ear out of a silk purse. Then Corbett lacked the "It" in personality to win and hold the anti-Nor-blad strength. On the straight race between him and Nor blad the latter would have proven victor by a wide margin. The formidable showing made by Joseph in the primaries makes him, we beKeve, an almost certain vktor in November. He will attract many democratic votes, though he will cer tainly lose many republican votes. A DANGEROUS HACK SEAT DRIVER jqcj -ft K4 tntattt Srli4cOnltlCtl warns A. Club President Speaks Out A T flip Rntarv convention in Spokane last week the retir- A. ing president told the Rotarians they had no worth while program. He urged them to get into pontics ana to take an interest in affairs, in this way living up to their designation of a service club. The speaker was right in point ing out the lack of objective in these modern luncheon clubs. They are great consumers of oratory but scant performers of service A few committees are active; most of the others do nothing but ehores to keep the organization functioning. Service clubs consist of good men who feel too old to go to Sunday school. They think they ought to have some liigh-sounding ethical ideal to talk about and to serve as a magnet to draw in new members. Perhaps some of the pre cepts do filter through as in a church or lodge ; but for the general run the men are decent enough before they are ad mitted and they aren't much changed atterwaras. The service clubs do perform this function. They pro mote sociability. They get men along in the crusty years to gether where they can loosen up a bit. It is a good thing for their livers if nothing else, even if the food is sometimes hard on the digestive apparatus. We keep about a hundred per cent attendance at rotary luncheons and get a lot out of the meetings, mostly the privilege of meeting and visiting with men. Whether this is going to prove enough of a motive power to hold luncheon clubs together for a long term of years is doubtful. "WIMEPESOM10ILY? V V iy CAROLYN WELLS "Stone? I hope to set him. I don't know for certain yet. I think now Iff case of kidnaping and I'm expecting the ransom let ter any hour." "It nay be," and Pennington looked thoughtful. "I hop the police wont harp any mora on the fact of the far and th dia monds being found beside Pony." "The will, though." Abel Col lins put In. "And sine that has been touched on, how do you ex plain It, Mr. Pennington?" "I'd rather not pursue the sub ject. Mr. Collins." "Why not?" asked Rodney. "Look here, Pennington, if you know anything, out with It. Ton are going away " "Well, that may be a good thing for yon all." I don't want a good thing for anybody. I want the truth." . The Beginning of the Fight? ffiHE public won the first round in the fight for acquisition of the local water company. The charter amendment car ried and the bond issue of $1,200,000 was authorized. Now will follow the period of negotiation with the company or ondemnation if the company refuses to negotiate on a reas onable basis. Hoquiam has just taken over its water plant from the same company. Its experience showed that the water com pany fought every inch of ground, contesting every move in the courts. The litigation is reputed to hare cost $250,000. Hoquiam's bond issue was $800,000 but the price fixed by the jury for the plant was $510,000, so with the city's share of the litigation it still stayed within its bond issue. We hope the water company win profit by its experience in Hoqaiam and will note the temper of the Salem people as reflected in the vote on the water measure. The litigation that ia mere obstruction is costly to the: company as well as the city. It is sincerely to be hoped that a deal may be made on the basis of a business-like negotiation. If it cannot, rath er than engage in costly litigation, the city would do well to consider the wisdom of constructing its own plant. it it Mrs. Lou Myers of Mehama who has some fine Leghorn hens of thelheavr Uylag strain obtained from the state college poultry farm brought in atz egfts yesterday which weighed 21 ounces. Two of the egga weighed tour ounces apiece. We held a conncil of war in this office to disensa the situation. Gas Hlzson circulation manager decided there was a cross-breeding with the ostrich family. W. C Connor veteran , editor of the Northwest Poultry Journal was called fn to? eonsultatioxsr He asked: "Were they laid by one hen?" The mere editor replied, "No it takes two hens to lay eggs like these' CHAPTER. XXJLI. "Take my advice, Mr. Sayre, and don't try too hard to getT at the truth," saU Pennington. "Now you've gone so far, go on." "Yon want me to?" "I sure do." . There's not much to it, but you know there was a bit of a fuse over those Atlantic City pictures." "For heaven's sake, what are those pictures? I've heard them hinted at until I'm sick of it. Tell me about them." "No. I think not," said Penning ton, after a moment's pause. "I've no right to. They were some pic tores my wife and Emily Dunne had taken down at Atlantic City. I'd rather not say anything about them, because I consider ft Miss Duane's secret. Were it only my wife I'd willingly tell you. But Miss Duane's personal affairs are not tor me to discuss, and I can't honorably say any more. I'm sure you see this." Rodney did see It, and should Emily return he had no wish to tell her he had let Jim Pennington tell him of matters, that she had not herself confided, so he urged H no more. "Well." he said, "you're doubt less right Emily would of course tell me about It, as your wife told yon. I can't think it's anything very dreadful, anyway, but I'll ask no more about it. When are you going?" "I think ITI start tomorrow morning and run down to New Tork la my car. Then, ftl stay there a few days looking after some business matters, and per haps motor to some nearby place where it is quiet for "a time, or possibly start off to Europe by some mid-week steamer. It's Queer hut I can't figure -head at nil while rm here." ? "Not queer at all," said Abel Collins, kindly, "it would be queer if yon could, with decisions to make about packing, and then, clearing out the house you have to leave it empty, dxm't you?" "Oh, yoa mean food and such things. Yes. Rosa, she's a capable piece, and Mrs. Branch that's the chauffeur's wife, they wUl attend to aU that. I told them to get everything out and tor Mrs. Branch to take any staples or edi bles of any sort. Rosa has a new place ia Tuxedo. She'll go there, tomorrow. Then all I'll have to do is to turn the key and walk off," "Mrs. Bell hope you'U come over to dinner with ue tomorrow, before yo leave," Rodney said, as they rose te go. "If I'm delayed until afternoon, I'U do that." waa the reply. "But if I can, I want to make a start in the morning, in that case X shan't see her again. Pleas give her my regards, she has always been a kind friend to Pauline and myself. Oh, I'm an emotional sort, you know," he brushed a hand across his eyes, "I can't hep it, I think I'd rather not go oyer to Knoll wood tomorrow and 1 say goodbye and all that. Tell them all good bye for me, and let ine go oft by myself." Pennington's voice shook and Rodney was sorry for him, so he told him not to come over unlets he wished to do so; and with a silent handshake the. men parted. Abel Collins held out a friendly hand, and as he grasped the oth er's shaking fingers; he whis pered: f "Brace up, Jim, brace up. We'll find Emily yet." "Oh, I hope so," said Penning ton fervently, the te$rs welling up in his eyes; "I do hope so. Good by." "Half demented," Sayre said af ter they, were out of earshot.

SOFT SOUTH WIXDS Aad irk em the sooth wind blew of t- ly . . . they weighed anchor and sailed." Acts XZVII:1S. Softly blow the south winds, so they are favored of mankind. The, soft sooth wind of spring ia the one that whispers of love to youth strolling ' in evening hears. It wafts the fragrance of spring flow ers on Its wings. The clouds that ride with It break into showers that stir earth seeds to life. It strokes the eheeks of ages as with a soft hand and caresses lovers at their trysilng place. When the south wind blows softly life mores forward. The north wind freezes, the east wind chills. In this northern hemisphere it is the south wind which soothes and satisfies. Sometimes the south wind blows up the sirocco or the storm, in other latitudes than our own; bnt here we think of the south wind with favor. So when the ship bearing Paul a prisoner to Rome desired to proceed to a Cretan port with good winter harbor, the captain ordered the ship to set sail "when the south wind blew softly." "Bnt aft er no long time there beat down . . a tempestuous wind" which drove the vessel before It wo til tfeW and passengers were ftnalty thrown shipwrecked npon Meiita. When the south wind blew softly," fair weather land safe voy aging seemed sure for them. Not in Bight were the signs of a change in the weather and the bearing down of the tempestuous fcnra qnilo. Why heed the warnings of the strange fellow la chains? Life is full of men who i see only the "south wind." No need of religion for them. They take the easy and apparently certain course. Skies are clear, breeze: Beema sure. hopes are high. it is wnen tne south wind fans and the tempests blow, when the soft breeies change to fierce gales that men come face to face with realities, that they realise the shallowness of trustly altogeth er on south winds blowing softly. Life rnst be ordered for all season and for all Weathers. The religion which inspires and sus tains it must be a religion that steels as well as stirs, that braces as well as sootha,t that inspires as well as comforts. Lacking such a faith, then when th. tempestu ous winds, the adversities, the strains and stresses;! life befall. one's soul U driven before the gale, stripped of sail or rudder. When in yonr Urine yon think the south winds ars blowing soft ly, beware. Days jbrtng strange an sadden reversals that eaiy the well-grounded saay withstand. "Not quite that." Abel smiled, "but In a fearfully nervous state. Indeed, It will be better for him to get away from the scenes and people about here." And so they went back to Knoll wood, to the home that was no home-, to the house whose atmos phere was even mere depressing than the Pennington house, for there was simply desolation, while here was a feverish excitement, a wfn-o'-the-wlsp of elusive hope and mocking despair that kept the nerves at highest tension with nothing to relieve them. Rodney found Everett Craven waiting for him and acceded to the lawyer's request for an inter view. "You see, Mr. Sayre," Craven said, coming straight to the point, "this Hindu, this theosophfcit, claims that Miss Dnane'a estate owes him a sum of money." -Indeed," said Sayre. "and on what does he base that claim?" "Wen. you know In her will " "But Miss Duane isn't dead, that we know of. Just how does' her will come into this?" "I know, but the Swam! as sumes that after a certain time, if Miss Duane does not return she will b considered dead, and " "I think that time la seven years or something like that Tell him to wait seven years and then eaU again." "But this Is his Idea. That he be paid a certain sum down, a smaller sum than that mentioned in the will " "Discount It. eh?" "Exactly. Or, rather adjust it, and give him the smaller sum now " "Ia the excellent Hindu gentle man about?" "Not that I know of," said Cra ven, a little scared at the fury in Rodney's eyes. "Lucky for him. Now. Craven, come clean. What's it aU about? You know as well as I do, this heathen Hindu Is out for money and nothing else. Now has he any hold on Emily, other than the will, which of course, doesn't count until she is proved dead?" "Well, he says she promised him some money, verbally." "Oh, she did? WelL that does n't count either, until she comes back and can verify his statement. Anything else?" Well " " "Craven, I know what you are hesitating about. It's those Atlan tic City pictures. Now, tell me, once for all, what are they, and why are they so important?" "I don't know Mr. Sayre. I know nothing of them except what the Swaml has told me." "All right, what has he teM yon?" "That Miss Duane would far rather have some monev raid to him than to have him tell about loose pictures." "He said that, did he?" "Yea" "In so many words?" "Practically yes." "Now look here. Craven, think carefully, are yon fn with him on this? Do yon get a rake-off any where?" "N no." (To be continued) Junior Team to Open Season on Diamond Today .

HENDRICKS An interesting; window: W In Bancroft Oregon history, yoa wm find oa page 4 il, first volume, the following: "The im migration by tree tor the year IS 43 amounted to II person. The bark, rtma. Captain Nye, from the Hawaiian Island, brought Franets W. Pettygrove, wife and ehHd. Philip Foster, wife and fenr children, Peter H. Hatch, wife and thUA. Nathan P. Mack, These all settled at or near Oregon City." Pettygrove was a native of Maine. He brought a stock of goods and competed with the mis sion people and the Hudson's Bay company. . He erected a wheat warehouse at Champoeg to pur chase the crops of the French Canadian settlers. Foster soon settled It mile op the eiacka mai river, and his place became a haven for the later covered wagon pioneers after their terrible jour neys over the Cascades by the Mount Hood and Barlow routes. History is fuU of mention of the relief found at and Irom "Fos ter's." Mack waa a carpenter. Was a leader in his line In early day Oregon history, and finally moved to Salem. a V Peter H. Hatch was a promin ent hons mover and a leader in many pioneer efforts at Oregon City. He came to Salem and was the only house mover here for many years, up to the late 801 or early 0's. He was always called "Deacon" Hatch during his long residence here. He wai born at Pearson, Maine, in 1810. There Is on display In The Specialty Shop of Mies Renska L. Swart, 214 North High street (in the Senator hotel building.) some relics of the Hatch family that ar6 attracting muoh attention, and are deserving of It. Item by item,. they are: A picture made from leaves and flowers gathered between 1856 and 1860 on the Hatch ranch, about two miles from Oregon City. W A Paisley coat made from a Paisley shawl by Mrs. John Far raf, daughter of Mrs. Peter Hatch, and mother Of John H. Fafrar, postmaster of Salem. The coat was purchased from the Hudson's Bay cbmpany during Dr. Mc Loughlln's time) st Oregon City, for $500, by Peter Hatch, father of Mrs. Farrar. A shfcwl like this is valued today at about 1000. S "a An old Bible used by Mrs. Ab bie H. (John) Farrar. A pair of old spectacles used by Peter Hatch and now by Mrs. Farrar. A table made In the first saw mlU (Dr. McLoughlin's mill) at Ore gon City, about 1846. A picture of Mrs. Abbie Farrars dressmaking shop. She was one of Salem's first busines women.

A picture of Peter Hatch, who purchased the shawl and who was the engineer that blasted out a part of the cliff for a road at Oregdn City, over which the Southern Pacitle raUroad line now passes. A picture of Mrs. Peter Hatch, mother or Mrs. Abble Farrar, who received the Paisley shawl as a wedding gift. Mrs. Hatch Was known as the "angel mother" of Salem, a wonderful woman. She wrote poems aad articles tor Harper's Magasine in the early days. She Would have been the unanimous choice of every old Salemite in an elec tion for sainthood. W S " Other articles in the window: A tray lining made from a piece of wool coverlet spnn and woven by Beulah Walter In 1876 in Dela ware, Pa.

(Dart U the abbreviated form of baronet, a dignity or degree of honor next below' a baron and next above a knight. The baronet is the lowest degree 6f honor that Is hereditary). Mrs. Peter Hatch who came with her husband from Hawaii in 1843 was his first wife. They were married in Honolulu. The Mrs. Peter Hatch who was the saintly pioneer mother of Salem was his second wife, the first having died. The seeond wedding was at Ore gon City, or "The Fairs," as that place was then known, at which the Paisley coat was given as the chief wedding present. The Mrs. Peter hatch known to pioneer Salemites was born In Indiana. She was educated at Galesburg, Illinois. She died in Salem in 1890. "a - Peter H. Hatch was In 1554 made a trustee of Pacific univer sity and Tualatin academy, and in 1856 was caosen as a trustee of the Oregon City seminary, He was in -his early life a Congregation alism but became a Methodist In his later years, and was prominent In that church in Salem, while, all the time, his wife was a Con gregationalism His sons followed their father in the house moving business, and one of them did some of the largest things in that line ever undertaken on this coast. S Perhaps the reader wUl con clude that there was lack of har mony In the Hatch home in Sa lem on account of. a difference of church affiliations. There was not. There Is another notable case, that Is interesting. John Stev en McGroarty, aathor of the California Mission Play, Is a Catholic. In his home is a Pres byterian and a Lutheran, tn the persons ot his wife gnd her mother. "a "a A good Catholic lady not long since told Mr. McGroarty that there must be a lot of arguments la his home on the subject of his religion and she trusted that he was trne to hU faith, and stood up for his own. He replied that there wdrt occasional differences of opinion in his home, that he calls "the little high house In the green Verdngo hills" but that never is there a word of argument about religion.

Skeezix was named when she was quite small end when she grew up her name was not suit able, but she kept it. Perhaps that accounted for her being queer. When she had kittens aha would leave them, and they would cry and cry, but she did not seem to worry. Mother cat would fuss and worry and finally she would take them and raise them. It she thoug-ht anything was going to happen to them she would hide them. If Skeezit had tried to take her kittens back after Mother cat had loved them, and bothered with them when they were tiny, be lieve me, we would have tended to Sieetix. I don't know Mrs. G. F. Schac fer or Miss Geraldine Watson, but what I hive read of Mrs. Sehaefer reminds me of our good old mother cat. Some say Mrs. Sehaefer1 has hot told the truth. Did you ever see a little bird tell a He by saying, "I have breken my wing andam crippled, follow me." Then when you were a safe dis tance from her young, she would fly away. One thing, Mrs. Sehaefer did do. She gave that baby love, care and a respectable home and I am sure she would not leave it in a public place and not know who would take It or what care it would receive. One who Likes Fair Play.
