plEW writers are so incisive in their styles as C. C. Chap
X man of the O r e g o n Voter. His characterizations are
sharply chiseled and his penetrating appraisals are, usually
quite accurate. Here is his recent summary of gubernatorial
jivsjrcvw iu me repuuuean line-up ior next year:
"That Governor Meier will be- a candidate for 're-election,
- health permitting, is generally predicted. He does not relish glv
; tng up anything, he enjoys the thrills of authority, and he has
natural desire for Tindication.
"Charles M. Thomas will have to wait four years more if
Governor Meier seeks re-election. Those will be four tough years
for the public utilities. If Thomas has to drag his show along
that length of time in order to keep himself lined up for the gov
ernorship and the U. S. senate.
"itofos C. Holman will not admit that he is to he a candl
date, but w cannot conceive of anything political that can stop
him from becoming one. ; By stepping aside unselfishly, he made
- It possible for Julius Meier to become governor. That Meier is a
disappointment to Holman is putting it mildly. He appointed
Hohnan state treasurer only under moral compulsion, finding no
satisfaction In the act. Holman formerly had considerable re
t apect far Meier's business ability; now is convinced that Meier
lacks ability and .principle, and apologizes for having sponsored
X him. Meier also apologizes for having appointed Holman. The
; Influence of each fn killing off the other is difficult to forecast.
Meier will have a large part of the press with him,, not merely
because he represents such a tremendous advertising patronage,
bat because he has a publicity knack and also has lieutenants
who are skillful In lining up highly favorable newspaper pub
licity. Holman will have practically all the newspapers bitterly,
against him, for he honestly believes they are subsidized by ad
vertising patronage of big stores, big corporations, big utilities,
and openly denounces them. Holman is upright and courageous;
his bitter narrowness and prejudice fit the mood of the people;
the masses of the people are fairly well convinced that adver
tising has so' much to do with its indirect influencing of news
paper policy that the newspapers are untrustworthy in political
decisions where large advertising interests are affected; so Hol
man may be the man of the hour. But the battle with Meier will
be a severe one, with much, spilling of ink, breath and bad blood.
"Ray Gill is a governorship possibility. Gill is called a bone
head by these who see only obstinacy in him. Those who dismiss
him with that contemptuous name under-rate his real capacity.
He actually has made a success In business, by thrift' and hard
work. He sincerely favors public ownership, and he as sincerely
Is opposed to any taxation that tends to add to the burden of the
farmer either as a producer or a consumer. His opposition to the
sales tax was entirely consistent. Provable immediate advantage
to the farmer in the war of property tax relief meant nothing to
Gill. He regarded it merely as the proffer of a bribe, and turned
It down with scorn and denunciation. Gill is a true Granger, in
that he feels all the traditional prejudice of the exploited farmer
against the city, the railroad and the corporation. He is not a
, ' professional politician who exploits the Grange. He has char
acter; he also has a tremendous political asset in the way of de
termination that cannot be swerved by argument or considera
tions of expediency. In our opinion he would make a good gov
- eraor although we dread what might happen under his belief in
publl ownership".
British Columbia interests have purchased a gold mine near
Baker, Oregon. There is a great amount of interest in mining in
Canada, both in eastern Canada

low commodity prices makes gold mining more profitable. Oregon's

I AM OFTEN asked, "What Is a
good toothbrush T The wise choice
of a toothbrush Is essential to the
proper care of the teeth.
Brushes vary in size and snaps.
Some prefer a
soft brush, but
probably It Is
better to use one
having stiff bris

well made brush
that is not too
large. A cheap

its bristles, and
those that don't

most dentists ad
vise the use of a

nidi urn - sized
brash, with fairly stiff bristles. See
that the bristles are tufted and have
spaces between them. For children,
of course, a small-sized brush Is rec
ommended. The size of the tooth
brush should be suited to the size
of the mouth.
A very good plan, as X Tiew it. Is
proposed by some of the dental pro
fession; this Is to employ two tooth
brushes. One Is-used In the morn
ing and the other la the evening.
Tou win get the most out of the
toothbrush -if you follow this plan.
But above all also, discard a tooth
brush when the- bristles begin to

BITS for BREAKFAST
By R. J. HGNDRICES-
Genesis of the '
Champoeg meeting: j
Continuing from yesterday:)
The first American government
on the Pacific coast was author
ized by the people of the Wil
lamette valley at Champoeg, May
1843. When the vote was
taken, the speaker was unable
to - determine on which side was
the minority. A motion prevailed ,
for a division and those in favor
of organization were to file on
one side; while the opposing party
took the left. Colonel Joseph
Meek shouted as he stepped to
the right, "Who's for the divide?
All in favor of the report and of
an organization, to 1 1 o w me,"
much or toe voting in pioneer
times being done In this manner.
Those who followed him were In
the majority. By this act the pa
triots proclaimed their faith In
themselves; because they were
industrious and honest they were
Belf-sufflclent they were self-
dependent: hence they believed
that Oregon could and would fly
with her own wings.
The theory was on probation
six years, and when Oregon be
came a territory .March 3, 1849.
'Alls volat propriis." or "She
flies with her own wings," was
adopted as the territorial motto,
and no fitter motto . was ever
known. Do you know that if more
people would fly with their, own
wings, there would be less de
pression now?
Thus the provisional govern
ment of Oregon began, although
it was Incomplete until July.
1845, when, an organ le law
framed; by the legislative com
mittee was approved by the vote
of the settlers.
The convention at Champoeg
adopted the first organic laws
of Oregon, July S, 143; and it
was made known that the colon
ists were loral to the ."Stars and
Stripes" by the following state
ments in the preamble: "We, the
people of Oregon, . . . agree to
adopt the following laws and reg
ulations until such time as the
U. 8. A. shall extend their juris
diction over us." Tho 18 articles
of the compact in the outset,
provided, "that Oregon territory
should be divided Into not less
than three and no more than
five districts." Since that time
tho territory has been divided
into as many states. After a
declaration of protection and en
couragement of people in their
worship and education, good
faith, toward the Indians, and a
disapproval of slavery, a -state
ment of rights and duties of vot
ers and officers was briefly
given. Tho laws of Iowa terri
tory were designated as the laws
of. Oregon In military and crim
inal cases, eights and measures,
wills and administrators, and va
grants In all cases where no law
of Oregon . was enacted.- Sixty
pounds avoirdupois was agreed
upon as the weight of a bushel
of. wheat. Article 17 permitted
boys of 16 and girls of 14 to
marry, provided they had their
parents' consent. The legsl fee
for marriage was- $1 and the
fee for recording marriage cer
tificates was fixed at fifty, cents.
Thus It came about that, al
though New England, v with her
allies, had, by untold sacrifices
of property and life, gained free
dom from control under the Bri
tish flag, Oregon emerged from
the agreement of joint occupa
tion, won self-government, and
gained the distinction of being
the only possession under the
"Stars and Stripes" obtained by
discovery and : colonization,
achieved by neither purchase nor
bloodshed. Hot- was tho victory
of peaceful acquisition by tho
Oregon patriots and- loyal colon
ists any less- praiseworthy than
tho victory, won through war by
the patriots of New England. So,
-while- the fend, dream oL tha May-
flower survives, the monument at
Champoeg stands as a proud
memorial to tho glorious victory
of peace.
w
The address of Prof. Horner
was an able one. Something
should be added concerning the
"provisional judiciary established
in 1841." The first meeting was
a called one, held at the uoa
mission Feb. 7, 1841. Jason Lee
presided. It was "for the purpose
of consulting upon steps neces
sary to be taken for the forma
tion of laws and the election of
officers to execute them." The
second meeting was at tho grave
side of Ewing Young, whoso fun
eral sermon Jason Leo preached.
Lee presided. Gustavus HInes was
secretary. After considering or
ganization and election of offi
cers, the meeting adjourned un
til the next morning, Feb. 18,
1841, at the Lee mission. There
the first provisional " government
was authorized and set In mo
tion. Tho. record in part of Sid
ney Smith and Gustavus HInes,
secretaries, reads:
"I. L. Babcock was appointed
to fill tho office of supreme
judge, with probate powers.
"Geo. W. LeBreton was chosen
to fill tho office of clerk of
courts and public recorder,
"Wm. Johnson was chosen to
fill the-office of high sheriff.
"F. X. Ladtroot, Pierre Belll
que and Wm. McCarty were cho
sen constables. (Tho wife of an
employee in tho mechanical de
partment of The Statesman Is a
direct descendsnt of Pierre Belll
que.) "Resolved, that, until, a code
of laws be adopted by this com
munity. Dr. (I. L.) Babcock bo
Instructed to act according to- tho
laws of tho state of New York."
J
That was more than a 'pro
visional judiciary." It was I tho
first provisional government, and
it carried on until July S. 1843,
when the new officers chosen
May 2 of that year began their
services. Geo. W. LeBreton was
elected clerk of tho court and
recorder of that government on
its beginning day, Feb. 18, 1841,
and at the May 2, 1843, meet
ing was reelected and took office
the second time, with the rest,
July I, 1843. His record con
cerning the last named taking
of office reads: "Tho question
having arisen with regard to
what time tho newly-appointed
(elected) officers shall commence
their duties, , it was moved
and carriei that tho old officers
remain In office till tho new
laws , are made . and accepted."
This record was of the- May 2
meeting at Champoeg. Tho "new
laws", were- made- at the- Leo
mission, and the; were .accepted
July S at Champoeg. Thus Wm.
Johnson was high sheriff until
Joe Meek took his place on July
5; Dr. L L. Babcock was supreme
judge until W. E. Wilson suc
ceed ed . him on the latter date;
LeBreton until ho succeeded him
self, and so on with tho minor
places. It was tho same govern
ment, with "new laws."
w
Cha apoeg has a high place,
but tho Lee mission a higher;
the highest in this and kindred
particulars west of the Rockies.
The two meetings at Champoeg
were Incidental; those at the mis
sion were fundamental and pri
mary. ,

CHAPTER TWENTY -THREE
Very slowly and comfortably
Leni cam- back to wakefulness in
her bed. Oddly- enough she had slept
soundly until almost noon. For
while ah did not open her eyes bo
eaasa she wanted to prolong the
exquisite sensation of being in love.
Like many women who know'
much of life, Leni knew almost
iMrtW"g of love. No one would be

life as a school girl who has found

all of these were like black beasts
trying to tear her to pieces.
The sweet and rose colored glow
of her love dreams began to cool
eff.
The door of the bedroom opened
and her personal maid, Celeste,
came in bearing a silver tray with
hot coffee and a dish of cold sliced
peaches.
"Ifs time for madams to be
awake," said Celeste with a tinge
of authority. "The day is half gone
and we are being swamped with
telegrams of congratulations."
There was a stack of yellow en
velopes from people who had seen
the premiere of Leni's picture.
From now on she would live In

Life was no longer a golden

It was the nearest thing to earthly

Celeste gathered up the tele
grams with a hurt expression in
her dark eyes. "Bub the studio, ma-
dame I They have phoned four times
already this morning,"
Leni permitted herself a small
smile of satisfaction. The monu

power of command. The shoe now
was on the other foot.
"Ton may go now, Celeste."

"Yes, I'd like to see what they
say about the picture," said Leni,
almost indifferently.
The coffee brought a gracious and
stimulating warmth to LenL A de
lightful sense of freedom was play
ing around her heart.
The tearing anguish of the night
before had changed to meek aad
simple contentment. Tha gratifica
tion of her ambition had nothing
to do with it. Ambition, success had
melted away like the dross they
really were.
A new emotion, as clear and
beautiful as the ringing of a silver
bell, was sounding throughout her
whole being. She was no longer
slave. She had been wretched and
lonely and hard-driven all of her
life.
And now, rapturous beyond any
dream, was the glowing revelation
ef her tnedom.
She had passed into a new ex
istenc. She had found love. All
else was obliterated.
The beauty of. ft was that she
was under na conepulsien whatever.
She- could drop everything: fame,
studio, wealth aa easily as dis
carding a worn-out frock.
No one of course, wwahl under
stand. It waa ridiculous and in
credible that a star ia her position
should suddenly, by an act of free
local wartime tribunal; a band of
men moving at night smears yel
low paint oa buildings belonging
to a man they called a "slacker."
These were by-products of the
wartime mobilization of public
sentiment. Wo would rather for
get these things now. It la desir
able that they should bo remem
bered only that they may not. be
repeated in subsequent periods of
stress.
Such a period Is now at hand.

again mobilizing public sentiment
on a scale similar to that of the
world war period. It Is a danger

firmament. It had never happened
ia the whole history of the motion
picture industry.
Thousands of loves had bee a
wrecked for careers but not once
had career been wrecked for love.
Leal had no sens of sacrifice or
regret. She had found her success
and simultaneously something
greater. It would be impossible, her
heart told her, to held both. '
The absence- of Lacky gave Leni
no feeling of apprehension.
She had merely to think- of him
to feel his presence as close as
though she were actually in his
arms. ...
Leni sipped her coffee, put ft
down on the tray and looked up to
see the dark-eyed and excited face
of Celeste.
"Madame they have come!" said
Celeste, her voice trembling like
the leaves of a tree. "The studio
business manager and your direc
tor. Herman Gerste afield himself!'
The dreaminess left Leni's eyes
and they lit up like stars with, sur
prise. Herman Gerstenfield down
off his pedestal.
