Sometime since the Oregon Voter announced that Editor Edgar
r tinAD r tV, prrionri Orporinian. was the "unofficial head 01
the Republican party" which, in-as-much as Oregon possessed a
national committeeman, a republican United wares sen-noi, uu
republican congressmen, a republican governor, a repuunuin
legislature and a republican in every state office, was regarded
as some promotion-but it is evident that the Voter understated
the case and underestimated the colonel's importance.
! ' Colonel Piper is not only "the Boss" who pulls the strings and
makes the politicians dance, but he is The Party the Grand Old
Party itself, that -is, everything except the votes. He has even
written the platform for the coming campaign at least he was
modest enough to admit it in his address to th'e'Women's League
as printed in his own paper. If he would only name the candi
date now, there wouldn't be any necessity for a convention. Per
haps he will before the convention meets, obviating the necessity
and saving the expenditures for slush money. - ;
And such a platform! Such a collection flf glittering general
ities as never before conscripted not even in the scintillating
array by General Leonard Wood. We have "Americanization,"
the "maintenance of our institutions," the "supremacy of the
law and punishment of malefactors," "democracy as opposed to
autocracy", "payment of debts," "opportunity to enjoy rewaras
of labor," "efficiency and economy," "regulation of public util
ities," "equal service and equal rights" for sexes, "liberal recog
nition of ex-service men," "moderate" protective tariff, "military
training" but not "military service, except in case of war."
The platform views with alarm a Democratic president and
of course fails to point with pride to the winning of the war,
but firmly demands everything already enacted into law, vigor
ously claims rights inherent under the constitution, and staunch
ly declares for liberties enjoyed since the Declaration of Inde-npiHlfiiice.
Truly a statesmanlike document silent upon the League of
- . . - , i ii i
Nations, upon the problems ot reconstruction, upon proniDiiion,
upon the great issues of the hour, ft would, with minor alter
ations, fit either of the parties and as it means nothing, and conn
takes the place of convictions, and above all offends no one, is
therefore eminently fitted for politicians bankrupt in principle.
I.n elucidating this sane and safe platform bunk, the author
voiced his uet theory that partisanship and patriotism are syn
onvmous. and independence a menace to the nation. "Independ
ents" he asserted, "contributed little to the advancement 01 poi-
fical thought." and after declaring that the republican party
was founded by Hamilton and the democratic party by Jefferson,
concluded with the assertion that "Jefferson was no democrat
he was a republican."
" There are those who fear that the ponderous weight of his
megalomanical responsibilities as The Republican Party and the
tremendous strain of preparing innocuous desuetudes for his plat
form, have seriously impaired Colonel Piper's sense of humor. On
the contrary, he is more amusing daily and promises to be a source
of continual joy throughout the campaign.

I've recovered from the flu, but I'm feeling worn and weak, and
my nose and lips are blue, and my hinges groan and creak.
Racked and broken down I am, and so long have I kerchooed that
my priceless diaphragm from its moorings is unscrewed ; and my
ribs are flapping loose, I have pains throughout my. trunk, and
I'm feeling like the deuce, if the deuce is feeling punk.'. Soon again
I may be strong, but no cheerful thoughts I think ; something else
will come along that will put me on the blink. And the learned
physician says, "You will soon be strong and hale;" but he's talk
ing through his fez, and he ought to be in jail; for he knows
diseases wait round the gorner, just ahead, and they'll get me,
soon or late, and they'll ride me till I'm dead. In this happy frame
of mind are the victims of the flu, when those convalescents find
that some years of life are due. They should dance around a heap,
for thev mourn a ghastly lot, as old Rachel used to weep for the
children who were not. I am lying on my couch, singing songs of
broken hearts, for 1 have the grisly grouch that the dad-blamed
flu imparts.

No power on earth can halt the flight of time, but in spite

The approach of "old age" simply means the gradual decay

I love John hut I do not like him: he
is my lover but not my friend; he is
my husband and still a stranger, .limt
to remember how he says, "girl, girl,"
thrills me to my finger tips, but my
whole being rises up In selfishness.
Between us there exists the eternal
discord which is the great tragedy,, ns
well as tho great attraction of the
sexes.
Pei'liana Ilie Host Part
Arnold Bennett said In nn essay on
women: "Who wants the sex discord
to he resolved? The sex discord may,
be the most exasperating thing lit ex
istence, but It Is also by general agree- ,
ment the most delightful and the most
interesting. Its development for the
devilish ndveiiturousnoss of mankind
is a part of the great search for truth
and perhaps the best part.
"If men and women were to wake
up one morning in perfect and mutual
comprehension, and In the nssurance
that no discord separated them on
that day, the sun where It had shone
would shine in vain. The globe
would have to put up Its shutters, the
sublime adventure would be over and
the great first cnuse would have to
think of something fresh by which!
to begullo men and women within itsj
snare."
There you have n man's opinion,
nnd I do not agree with him. Women I
do not want to live in discord even if
It makes "the great adventure."
We poor, mistaken mortals are al
ways longing for erfection, for un
alloyed happiness, but having ol-
wltli my father seemed one of perfect
bliss. Are there such perfectly hnppy
marriages, I wondered. I'm going to
ask my mother if she ever felt the
twang of discord among the strings of
her life. Was her life with my father
always '"one grand, sweet song."
So busy was I thinking over this'
that I did not finish Charles' letter.
When I read further I noted that they
were duo any minute. The letter had
been delayed In the mails. I still had
It in my hand when my telephone
rang and the srirl announced my
mother and Charles. I felt that I
was not ready to meet them. I had
not yet decided on what I should tell
or what I should not tell my mother.
And above nil else regretted having
Charles see that I was not happily
married. I was afraid that it would
bring about again a declaration from
him. ...
Mailing Outside tor Mo
All my ljfe I had realised that he
was waiting waiting just outside for
me.
I was shocked when I saw my
mother. She had failed visibly since
I was home at the time of father's
funeral. She looked so small and
while. I was more than ever sure
that Charles had made a mistake In
bringing her when I literally picked
her up in my arms and found my
burden so tiny, so light that I felt as
though I were holding a child.
