tion of Mr. Jordon, who knows more people in California than any
ten men in the state, and knows whereof he speaks.
Johnson's administration would be "characterized by insin
cerity, ruthlessness, autocratic action, demagogic proceedings,
class legislation and disregard of constitutional direction," de
clares Mr. Jordan. "His inability to deal with great questions re
quiring broad-minded statesmanship and constructive ability
would result in confusion, turmoil and disaster".
Johnson's record as a republican is epitomized by Mr. Jordan
as follows: In 1910, he registered as a republican to run for gov
ernor. In 1912 he registered as a progressive, and prevented the
rpniiblirans of California from votine for Taft. In 1914 he reeis-
MThV3Afte1Sp?eMAtoEeiu'Sve1yitered as a progressive and defeated a republican for governor. In

by so-called non-partisan laws, which the people defeated by ref
erendums. In 1915 he amended the presidential primary act so
that any one calling for a republican ballot can vote for repub-
Jican delegates, regardless of the party he i3 registered in. In
1916 he registered as a progressive, filched the senatorship from
a republican, and failed to throw his support to Hughes, thus aid
ing in losing the presidency to the republican party. In 1918, he
registered as a republican, and in 1920 asks the republicans to
elect him president.
Johnson's "constructive" record as governor is assailed by
Mr. Jordan as follows: Johnson, When elected, found $2,000,000
Portland. Indictments oa four
counts, one of obtaining money by
fl?e pretensps and three charging lar
eeny by bailee, were returned against
August Junge, former niunaKer of an

JrrtoS. a n.! wt" "073,000 a year. When he went out of office, he left 42 commis
been traced by nhriff nuriburt afte'sions costing $2,500,000 a year. During his regime, the general
a precipitate flight from this city. 'aonroDriations bill increased from $13,000,000 a year to $27,000.-
000. In a period when population increased 35 per cent, assessed
valuation 00 per cent, state expenses increased 170 per cent.
As to breaking the railroad control, Jordan declares that the
railroads are better satisfied now than before Johnson started
grandstanding after them. In-no way did Johnson assist' the
women to secure votes, refusing to take a stand. California's
highway development was inaugurated by Johnson's predecessor,
who left a bond issue of $18,000,000 for Johnson to spend. His
.reform of the ballot consisted in preventing republicans from
placing the name of Taft on the ballot and permittng democrats
to vote in republican primaries.
' Mr. Jordan might have supplemented Johnson's California
jrecord by his record in the senate, where he was a left-handed
.'supporter of the war, an. obstructionist and a champion of the
Bolshevik", an opponent of the peawe treaty and an avowed enemy
of the League of Nations. He is the most shining example of the
unscrupulous, self-seeking demagogue in public life, appealing
under the specious plea of Americanism" to all the avowed and
latent enemies of the republic and rallying to his support the un-
American and foreign elements of class hatred, discontent and
anarchy.
i That such a candidate Is seriously considered as a republican
nominee for the presidency indicates the decadence of party pol
itics and bodes ill for the future of party and nation,

TO FIGHT II. C. L., TLANT A GARDEN.
While the individual may be powerless to lessen materially
the cost of many essentials that go to make the high cost of living
a burden, he can by economy, industry and thrift contribute ma
terially to its reduction and if enough individuals solve their
problems, they aid in solving those of the nation.
rotatocs and garden produce are sky-high yet it is within
the province of every individual to have his own garden and raise
his own potatoes and produce at a nominal cost. If he has not
land enough for a garden, there are hundreds of vacant lots that
can be had for the asking.
I During the war, nearly everyone had a "war garden", and
,tne gardens contributed materially to solving the household prob
lems of food and expenditures, as well as the national problem of
feeding-army and allies. Today these gardens are neglected
Comparatively few people are industrious enough or frugal
enough to have gardens and of course they pay the penalty al
ways paid lor curtailing production, to the profiteers.
I Workers of all classes today receive higher wages and labor
snorter hours than ever in history. They have more leisure for
garden work, but apparently less inclination to do it. It is easier
to cuss the government for high prices than to go to work to
cut down those prices by increasing production.
Salem needs peace gardens more than it needed war gardens
.Produce of all kinds brings prices prohibitive to the man of fam
ily with small income. With sugar at 25 cents and berries and
fruit in proportion, there will be little home-canning or preserv
ing, jo make up tne deficiency, the home garden must come to
,1he rescue, and the wise and prudent man will utilize his leisure
hours in reducing the high cost of living by planting a garden.
If he fails to do so, he has only himself to blame, when he finds
Jumsell in the conscienceless grip of the food profiteer.
The Portland Oregonian cooperated in the nation-wide effort
to economize on news print as usual with 110 page edition Sundav
wasting enough paper to supply all the country papers in Ore
gon lor a month.
When enough people in Salem can be found to pay a dollar
a minute in ten-minute clips for airship flights from dewy morn
to shadowy eve, it bespeaks the prosperity of the people, if it
does not indicate thrift and frugality.
Almost as many 5 by 4 supreme court decisions as there are
3 by 2 congressional verdicts on the management of the war.

Rippling Rhymes
t , SPRING CHESTNUTS
I fain would chant a song to spring, in soul-inspiring words;
but of that theme one cannot sing and not refer to birds. And
birds nre but a false alarm when all is said and done; if you have
lived u)on a farm, you know they eat up mon. They scratch up
seeds, and care no hoot that seedstuffs cost like sin; they spoil a
lot of priceless fruit by recking holes therein. I cannot spring a
vernal wheeze that with due passion throbs, but I must boost the
springtime breeze that fans the thingumbobs. That lovely breeze
along the street is smashing things today; it's spoiled a thousand
miles of wheat by blowing soil away. It whoops and blithers till
it's hoarse, and, while we stand and gaze, it may attain cyclonic
force, and kill a score of jays. I can't transcribe my blissful
dream of spring and all its joys, without some mention of the
stream that makes a babbling noise. Said stream has overflow
ed its banks and drowned a thousand sheep, and farmers stand,
in mournful ranks, and rear and swear and weep.
LOVE and MARRIED LIFE
By the Noted Author
IDAII McGLONE GIBSON
ever Rusty heard that second kind
of chirp he was always careful to
find some errand that took him away
from home.
You see, Rusty Wren was not so
orderly as his wife. Often he scatter
ed things about the house in a very
careless fashion. For Instance, if he
happened to notice a bit of moss or
a buri- clinging to his coat, Just as
likely as not he would brush it off
and let It fall upon the floor. And
when Mrs. Rusty found anything like
I that in her cottage, she always knew
how it came mere.
Rusty sometimes remarked that it
was a good thing he didn't smoke.
"How would you like it if I drop
ped bits of tobacco, or ashes, and
maybe burnt matches for you to
pick up?" he asked his wife.
"Tou couldn't come inside my
house if you used tobacco," she al-waj-s
replied. And she would get quite
excited at the mere thought of such
an untidy habit
And then Rusty would smile but
he always took good care not to let
his wife see him.
"Don't worry!" he would say, if
she became too stirred up. "I've never
smoked yet and I never expect to."
One can see that Rusty Wren was
somewhat of a tease. And as it usual
ly happens with people who amuse
themselves at the expense of others,
there came a time when Rusty's
teasin? landed him in trouble.
One day after he had come home
ffpm an excursion to the pasture (he
seldom strayed so far from home as
that!) Mrs. Rusty began sniffing Jhe
air. Her nose would have wrinkled
only it couldn't, because it was so
hard. And it seemed to her that he
had a guilty manner.
"I declare," she said, "I believe
you've been smoking." And she start
ed to scold so angrily that Rusty
Wren knew she must be in a temper.
Seeing signs of trouble, Rusty be
gan to fidget. And he moved about so
uneasily that his wife was all the sur
er of his guilt. She stopped right in
the middle of her scolding to say, "I
smell smoke!"
"Perhaps you do," Rusty admitted
"But it's certainly not tobacco
smoke."
"Ah!" she exclaimed. "Then you've
been smoking corn-silk, or hayseed
and that's almost as bad."
But Rusty said that it must be the
smoke of a pine stump that she no
ticed. "Farmer Green is burning- some
old stumps in the pasture," he ex
plained. "And I flew through a
cloud of it."
Just then he happened to notice a
bit of something or other clinging to
one of his tail feathers. And though
his wife was looking straight at him,
he flicked the tiny scrap upon the
floor, without thinking what he was
doing.
"There you go again!" Mrs. Rusty
When cried. "Here I've Just finish
ed cleaning the house and you're lit
tering it all up! You don't care how
much work you make for me." And
she pounced upon the brownish bit,
intending to pick it up and throw
out of the house.
Rusty had already decided that he
had better go. away from home for a
little while, until things were pleas
anter, when his wife suddenly faced
about and fixed him with her glitter
ing eyes.

- Liked Her Independence
"Do you realize, Charles, that by
no Possibility Would John flnrrlon
have fallen in love with me had I
been other tlian I am. He liked .my
Independence. Why, before we were
married he used to thnrono-htv oniov
discussions of almost any subject with
me ana i win say that he showed a
respect ror my mental powers that
made me feel that he
quite as his equal. We were com
rades, but immediately upon our mar
riage I became only a possession, and
he began to make me over Into some
thing that he would have despised af
ter he had finished the transforma
tion."
Chrales looked at me In great sur
prise. "Katherlne." he said. "rff ntk
women feel as you do?"
A majority of them do," I said.
"There are women, ltkn .tnhn1. DiofOH
of phlegmatic 'temperaments, who go
ii in tranquility, marking out new
avenues of interest for themselves and
keeping their own lives separate from
the life that they live with their hus
band. There are other women whose
sole comfort and hope Is in their
children. These women are like Ruth
Gaylord. I think Ruth Is happier
now that she is separated from Bob
ble than she was before. There is still
another class like Helen. A woman
of this class is so desperately in love
with her husband that she is willing
to become slave, or a plaything, Just
as he wishes. This type of a woman Is
never happy, so more so than I, al
though John satisfies all my prim
itive emotions, he outrages me fem
inine ego every moment I am with
him,
Itensnn for Unhapplncss.
"Either the woman of today has
grown too large a brain or man has
not yet learned that femininity is
something more than one of his ribs.
One or the other of these is the rea
son for many unhappy marriages."
"All of which," said Charles with
a smile, "gets us nowhere in par
ticular, I seem to recall that we start
ed for that oil gusher In Texas, at
least you had us on our way."
"I beg your pardon, Charles. I
wasn't thinking of starting for Texas
I was thinking only ot your going."
"Well, of course, I will go If you
send me," he said, "for when was the
time that I did not do your bidtllng
since you were old enough to audibly
bid."
I laughed. "Am I such a tyrant," I
asked. "Do you, too, Charles, think
that I want my own way to the ex
clusion of everything else? Am I one
of those exziant females who always
want to be It?"
"No," answered Charles slowly,
"but I think you want your full share
in the 'it' business. If I may criticize,
Katherlne, I will say that perhaps you
were not clever enough to keep this
fact from the sex whose members
imagine that they are the lords of
creation."
Sudden Light Breaks
"Oh," I said, a sudden light break
ing in on me, "then the trouble with
me Is that I am too frank, too sin
cere. Perhaps you are right, Charles.
The more I think of it, the more I
think you are, but alas I must be
frank with myself and sincere with
my husband." I said this with animat
ed quaking of my heart, because I
knew that what Charles had said was
true. If I could be insincere with
John, if I .could Just act as though I
believed everything he said and did
was right, I could do anything I wish
ed to do. If I allowed htm to think
that he was doing things his own
way, he would be perfectly content.
In other words, if I had treated him
as his mother did, when she arrang
ed with the shopkeepers to put over
charges on his bill and give her the
money; or as did Elizabeth Moreland
when she made him. think that he
was still the only man In her life
while she was carrying on two or
three other flirtations, I would prob
ably live a more peaceful, if not con
tented life.
As it was, I was fighting the eter
nal battle of the sexes In my own
way, and in my own way I could fight
until the end. What the end would be
i could not see.

Be Young In Body, Mind and
Looks Despite Your Years
How often you have
wished that you could
indulge in the strenu
ous exercise of out
door sports with the
vigor and enthusiasm
of youth! But the
end of the week finds
you all in you are
tired, listless and lack
the energy to go out for
a vigorous walk or a
round of the links or
any other exercise that re
quires much physical exer
tion. Many a man, even in
his middle forties, has a
vague feeling that he is
"getting old" and right
at a time when he should be
at his very best physically.
And he is growing old , not
in the sense that the years
are pressing heavily upon
him-but in the sense that
his vital forces are wasting
away faster than Nature re
places the worn out tissues.
Thousands ves millions of people find
themselves in this condition early in life. And
there is no excuse for it You can check that
tendency to grow old. You can carry your
youth with its joys and enthusiasm into your
70's and 80's. But you must give Nature all the
