A fine and unusual tribute was paid to Sen. Dean H.
Walker by the republican, county central committee of Benton
county this week when it adopted resolutions endorsing him
for reelection and urging him to become a candidate and
waiving Benton county's "claim" for the senatorship this
term.
The significance of the resolutions as a personal tribute
may be appreciated better if one knows that the major legis
lative interest in Benton county is always the welfare of the
state college, that Sen. Walker is a University of Oregon
graduate and ex-faculty member. Also it has been an unwrit
ten rule that the joint senatorship should alternate between
Polk and Benton counties and Walker, a Polk county man, has
served one term.

"In all the great valley of the

"Whereas, for many years there has existed an understand
ing between the Republicans of Polk county and Benton county
to the effect that because they are in a joint senatorial district,
they will therefore alternate in bringing out candidates to run on
the Republican ticket for state senator, and
"Whereas, this understanding among the Republican voters
of the two counties has been generally adhered to unless one
county or the other gave way for some good and sufficient reason,
and
"Whereas a good and sufficient reason exists at this time
due to the fact that the incumbent senator. Dean Walker, has
proved to be a man of exceptional value to both counties as well
as to the stata, and
"Whereas the prestige he has will make him still more valu
able In the coming session, and,
"Whereas he has the confidence and esteem of his fellow
senators which makes it possible for him to perform services to
his constituents that a new man would be unable to perform even
with the tact, understanding and accomplishments of Mr. Walker,
therefore
"Be It Resolved, by the Benton county Republican central
committee that the Republicans of Benton county should waive
their claims to put forth a candidate this year and urge upon the
voters at both the primary and the general election that they
would serve their own best interests by nominating and electing
Dean Walker to a second term providing he can be induced to run
again which we hereby urge him to do."

do they figure social security on

The Story of a Loan
I reckon I have broken as many
promises, little and big, mostly
little, as the average person. I like
to believe, looking back over the
record, that none of those prom
ises were made with deliberate in
tent to deceive. They were mis
takes in judgment. Bad judgment,
but honest. My judgment im
proved with age. It is nothing to
boast about yet. But I have
learned to be more certain of my
ground, to be as certain as Is hu
manly possible of keeping a prom
ise after I have made it. I once
owed a certain man $25. He
claimed that I had deliberately
and maliciously and a number of
other words misrepresented cer
tain prospects, which when real
ized were to provide means for
paying off the 525 note, which
had become rather badly overdue.
He said, being a gentleman ot the
horse and buggy age, that I had j
lied like a horse thief. It was his I
firm conviction, he further said,
that a liar is bad, but a being who
combines within himself the qual
ities of a liar and a horse thief
is beyond words to properly class
ify in the hrjman scale. I felt
somewhat grieved when .he thus
addressed me, the more so for the
reason that an audience was pres
ent, whose interest in the matter
was purely social. Had I been the
possessor of a, career, I felt that
it would be pretty badly damaged
within the next few days, prob
ably not later than the following
Monday if the weather was good
on Sunday so that folks could get
out to church. It was the solemn
truth that I bad not lied to the
gentleman. My ship, to use a fig
ure of speech, came in presently
and I paid off the $25 note. The
ship was somewhat overdue, and
I was guilty only of passing on
the date of the landing, which bad
been, passed on to me, to the
gentleman who had so pleasantly
addressed me. There is a little
sequel to the story. Several
months later I sat in a courtroom
and listened to th x-ldence In the
trial of that gentleman on a
charge of lying, stealing from
widows and orphans, misapprop
riating fustds, criminally altering
his records with a view to cover
ing his speculations, and well,
that'll all that comes to mind
after all these years. And I saw
htm after he had been adjudged
guilty, and I cannot refrain from
saying that I have seen horse
thieves who presented a better
appearance that he presented. I
felt sorry for him. I reckon he
had addressed me as he had, and
probably others, because he was
almost distracted by his troubles,
and was forced to pick subjects
that were safe upon which to give
relief to his feelings.

mother, and that was ever afur

Galllpolis (pronounced Gall-po-leese,
with the stress upon the
final syllable) rose with that of
Mclntyre. V'ith his death it win
largely disappear from the public
prints. As to the quality of his
work, there is little need to com

American columnist, in point of
readers, at least, and the fact teiu

The name Galllpolis has ever
intrigued my interest. One wishes
he knew how it happened' and
listens to note the pronunciation
of the name the next casual read
er will give it. There is a general
disposition to give it a Minner
spoils swing, but this effort fre
quently results In a twisted tongue
and the name is somewhat
mangled when it Is "finally deliv
ered. A visitor from Cincinnati
assures me that Gall-po-leese is
the pronunciation given it by the
Gallipolesians themselves, who
should know, and by the neighbor
ing Ohioans as well. My old un

such matters, broke down com

However, any name sounds all
right when that of which it is the
name is proven all right and on
has become accustomed to its use.
Take the name Percy for example.
I have known schools in which the
name Percy was hailed derisively
as being sissified, but in one
school there chanced-to be a Percy
who could wallop any other two
boys in the school at one and the
same session, and do it with one
hand, too. The pupils of that
school, after they left school and
went out into the world, made
few jokes about the name. Its as
sociations have a heap to do with
the way a name sounds to us.

The foregoing is not my story.
It is a story told by one stranger
to another in a local cafe Sunday
afternoon. They had parked their
car (Illinois license) and were
eating eastern oysters. I merely
overheard it and am retelling it
in my own way.
The papers of Monday, Febru
ary 14, carried under headlines
news of the death at 2 o clock
that morning of O. O. Mclntyre,
the New York columnist. It is
probable that the headlines ruled
larger in the great open space be
tween New York and Hollywood,
rhtch Eddie Cantor says is
America, because it has long been
apparent that Mclntyre is nearer
the hearts of the people ot the
great open spaces than to those of
Broadway and Sunset boulevard.
Had he lived four days more he
would have rounded out his 64 th

but in early boyhood went to
Galllpolis, Ohio, a town now of
