The Oregon Journal devotes a col umn of Tenomous editorial Saturday to the legislative record of Vernon A. Forbes. Like' most Journal edi torials, it is plausible, well written and without special regard t6 facts. Suffice to add that the Journal is "after" Forbes, and there are few papers in the land more ruthless in harassing those whom they seek to destroy with their polBoned publicity. We entertain the sincere belief, based upon personal observation and the judgment of other first-hand ob servers, that Forbes made an ex cellent record in the legislature. He can afford to stand on just what the Official records show. The Journal emphasizes an alleged political partnership between Forbes and Lair Thompson, former senator from this district and president of the 1915 Senate. The Journal says that Thompson was defeated for re-election because lie fought the settlers of his country as representative of the cattle com pany. That probably is true. It adds, however, that Forbes betrayed these very settlers, who actually elected him, by killing off a bill which aimed to have the state co-operate with the irrigation company in its supreme court battle for the waters of the Chewancan river, against this same cattle company. Such is not the case. Forbes him self prepared and introduced the bill, which appropriated $2500 to assist the Paisley appeal. It originated with him and with Governor Withycombe. it was put to sleep under the guise of economy, and it is a. fair pre sumption that' t!)g influence of ex- fienator Thompson contributed to !s! demise, ior Thompson wf on the! ground and naturally, from bla ttand .. joint as cattle company attorney, was bitterly opposed to any such state aid for the opponents of his clients. .So much for mis-statement number ! one, . Leas serious, and amusing to those familiar with the facts, is the Jour nal's assertion that Forbes "worked hand in hand with Thompson at the legislative session of 1915." Perhaps their hands may have been together when the session opened, but they were far apart indeed be fore its close. Its end, in fact, marked an open rupture between the two. At the 1915 session Forbes put through the bill leasing Summer and Abert lakes. Thompson opposed It. He fought the bill openly and bit terly. He nearly killed it. He brought great influence to bear upon Forbes to abandon It and if he could, with impunity, he would himself nave killed it in the Senate. But it passed, and to Forbes was the credit. But thereafter Thompson was no friend of Forbes. That is legislative history. It was the reason, probably enough, why Thompson repudiated his agreement to withdraw in favor of Forbes from candidacy for the senatorship, and why he actually ran and was defeated. But that is another story. The meat of the matter is that the Jour nal's bold assertion that Forbes and Thompson were political bed-fellows In 1915 is fiction, just as Its state ment that Forbes betrayed the Che waucan settlers In 1917, In appar ent partnership, with Thompson, is worse fiction. One truth the Journal does utter, towit: "On his record, Thompson was repudiated by his constituents and Forbes was re-elelected." Ex- ucuy; uecauxe ineir records were. different. ' i. 1 ? C o O MomtCELLOt Home, of thomrs jgrpggiON s q ") A widespread aentlment favoring tha purchaae by th United 8tatM govern ment of Montlcello, homo of Thomaa Jef feraon, la being- engendered by tho re cent actlvltlra In thlo direction by tho Na tional Society of tho Daughter, of tho American Revolution. So much lntereat has been aroused by these effort, that a contreaalonal commit tee on publlo building and grounds re cently made a trip to Charlottesville, Vs., accompanied by many distinguished men, to Inspect tho home. The owner of Montlcello, Jefferson Levy of New York, recently consented to sell the home to the government with the un derstanding that It ho preserved rs a me morial to Thomas Jefferson. Many price less relics of Jefferson's time, some of his own manufacture, are Included In the pur chase price. It Is asserted thst Montlcello Is aupsrloi In beauty to Mount Vernon. Built on tho top of a mountain, classlo In design. It la said thst It could hardly be reproduced to day at any coat. The dome surmounting the house Is modeled after the ancient temple of Vesta. The house was built by expert workmen brought from Frsnco, the bricks used In the construction were made on the spot. Subterranean passages of heavy construction snd very extensive are features of the house. Jefferson was his own architect, but the same architects who remodeled tho White House, after making an exhaustive study of Montlcello, declined to undertake any additions to tho home, with tho declsra. tlon that no architect could add to It with out spoiling It. Restoring Montlcello after tho civil war cost the owner 1100,0 on tho building alone. In order to emphsalie the fact that they are urging the acquisition by tho United States purely from patrlollo motives the Daughters of the American Revolution have recently asked that the bill be amended to eliminate their request that tho government give their orianliatloo tha custody of the home.

We also hear much of the beauties of the Columbia Highway. I wonder how many people realize that we may build as fine a highway up our own river Deschutes, with its many rap ids and waterfalls, and views of cold but stately snow-capped peaks, Jef ferson, Washington and the Three Sisters? With this $6,000,000 road bond Issue just passed this legisla ture, can't we, too, get some of this money spent to tempt the tourist along our rivers, or on a highway along the summit of our mountains? With this built and some advertising such as the famous Kaiser photos give the Columbia Highway, we too many obtain our share in this tourist gold mine. CITIZEN. WILSON IS CALLED A STUMBLING BLOCK WOULD ATTRACT TOURISTS ' Bend, Or., Feb. 24, 1017. To the Editor: . Your editorial on advertis ing this Central Oregon country for tourists, makes me wonder how few people In this Bectlon know the many natural wonders we have here. We have as fine mountln scenery sb any where, many beautiful waterfalls, magnificent lakes and forests for the city tourists; we have our -warm caves, which are wonders of their kind;-we have several large glaciers on our mountains, and lava floeB, with green oases in their midst. . This brings up the main idea. Many of pur own people have been to see these various wonderlands, and have photos of them. Why not ask those who have such photos to take -them to the manager of the Commer- Suf fugists Declare He Is Only Ob stacle Left In Way of Their ' . Amendment. (By United Press to The Daily Bulletin.) WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 26. President Wilson, leading suffragists declared today, is the only obstacle now to the passage of the federal suffrage amendment. That Is why they are picketing the White House. That is why they will encircle it with a monster "Suffrage Rainbow" March 4. That is why ten thuoaand voting women began ar riving here from all over the country today for the big March 4 demonstra tion. The suffragists are concentrating on Wilson, and they think they can feel him slipping. "President Wilson," said Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the execu tive committee of the Congressional Union today, "is now the one great obstacle in our way. We are going to center our greatest efforts in gain ing his support. We believe he is more and more inclining to the fed eral suffrage amendment. . "We are going up to the White House and register our unwilling ness to wait longer for the ballot. It's going to be a demonstration of protest and an expression of confi dence."

SCRAPPLE BARRED AS POSSIBLE MUNITION (By United Press to The Dally Bulletin) PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26. Far famed Philadelphia scrapple, a con coction once eaten always remem bered, Is now barred from entering Britain because Its nnmo sounds liko ahrapnol. Henry W.

Tho friend never received the letter.
