Four delegates at large and two delegates from each con gressional district are to be selected. It is therefore something of a surprise to find in the list of 15 republican candidates for dele gates at large, only two candidates whose ballot slogans express friendliness to the league and to find the same number out-spok enly opposing it, with eleven non-committal, and to find that not a single one among the five candidates for delegate from the first congressional district, is committed by slogans on this paramount issue. ' - , - It is therefore necessary to study the individual' platforms of the candidates as filed at the state house but not of record on member op associated rress j the ballot, to find further expression of opinion regarding the .nmied-TST.1 uV JorpubTicauon of'league. No mention of the league is.made, except by those whose an news dispatches credited to it or! slogans read to the same effect, except in one instance of a district Md .KcTi 'pubLeAK candidate. Otherwise the slogans are the customary political uuiiK oi iuo per cent Americanism, itepuDiicanism , support ing Peoples Choke," "Economy," Efficiency," "National Ideal", etc., etc., empty phrases that mean nothing concerning the is. sues of reconstruction. The two candidates for delegate at large who favor the treaty are Charles H. Carey of Multnomah county, who favors the "early adoption of the Peace Treaty, including the League of Nations provisions, with such safeguards as will safeguard American interests," and Edward A. McLean of Clackamas who holds that "the Republican party cannot better live up to the noble spirit of its beginning than by putting the United States into leadership in the League of Nations." Among the first district candidates only Walter L. Tooze, Jr., expresses, among many glittering generalities, what might be construed as a left-handed endorsement of the league, as follows : "cooperation among nations for maintenance of peace consistent With absolute protection American sovereignty", which doesn't mean anything, for Mr. Tooze further on declares that he will take, time to campaign for the republican party, whatever its nominee or platform. Among the four candidates for delegate in the second con gressional district only one, M. Z. Donnell, of Wasco, is on record as favoring a "League of Nations with American reservations," whatever that may be, while of the six candidates in the third congressional district, only one, Mrs. F. 0. Northrup of Portland favors peace and the league. Both districts, however, have avow ed league opponents as candidates. It is apparent that if every believer in the League of Nations among the candidates with courage enough to assert his convic tions, was elected, that the best that can be expected is a split delegation on the paramount issue, and that the Oregon delega tion will be without weight in forcing a forward party platform and meekly accept as a substitute for principles the sounding brass and tinkling cymbals of bankrupt partisanship, as they have in presenting their own platforms. Just why these candidates are afraid to take a stand upon a question their constituents favor is a mystery only exceeded by that of a republican senate in rejecting a peace acceptable to all the world and favored by a majority of their own members. It shows how the blighting effects of partisanship have paralyzed initiative and sincerity not only of office-holders but office-seekers,, aud makes us question in advance the vision and foresight of a Convention made up of men afraid oi their shadows. ,-, , f: '' -- i: f; Ripplmg Rhymes , , ' V .'

Groan, and there'll be a chorus, smile, and you make no hit; for we've grown long hair and we preach despair, and show you a daily fit. Spend, and the gang will cheer you, save and you have no friend; for we throw our bucks to the birds and ducks, and borrow from all who'll lend. Knock nn? vnn'll be a winner, boost, and you'll be a frost ; for the old sane ways of me pre-war uays, are now irom.the program lost. Strike, and the world strikes vfith you, work, and you work alone; for we'd rather yell and keep raising Hannibal, Mo., than strive for an honest bone. Rant, and you are a leader, toil, and you are a nut 'twas a bitter day when we pulled away from the old time work day rut. Wait, and there'll be a blow-up, watch, and you'll see a slump; and the fads and crimes of these crazy times will go to the nation's dump. tiibllshment of a government at Chnm org, men and women went to that pent of government on foot, and on horse bark, or In cnrts drawn by ox team. Nineteen years ano Oregon's governor, T. T. Ceer, so slated in his address Saturday, rode from Salem to Champoeg on n bicycle to attend the anniversary occuhIdh. Today people are conveyed from ull parts of the Dtnte In motor vehicles, it is well that these conveyances have been provid ed, for tho attendance would have been smull this year if people had to go on horse back or behind ox teams or even on bicycles. Is Interest dis paraging? Have we lout sittlit of the Importance of this great event?

The event we celebrate on May 2 Iff, nil things considered, of the greatest Importance ot anything In Oregon history, Kdlth Toiler Wentherred. one of the most eminent speakers ot the day, expressed the sentiment of the entire nudlenca-when she said: "Pro visional government ought to be In our text books, and teachers should be come fituilllnr with It." In her opin ion, knowledge of the provisional gov-, eminent should be one of the require ments In securing a certificate to teach school.

"lie has usked me to send him the key to my safety deposit box so he that he can get the pin he gave me and have the stone reset, although h knows I sold It to you. He says that he has noticed that I have not been wearing It nnd that he suspects that I do not like the setting." Alice laughed so hard that she be came almost hysterical but when she could get her breath she said: "Well. 1 Always knew John 'was stupid but I really did not think he wu as dense as that." , "John doesn't know that I over heard you tell' g him Hint hn.i ni. ready sold you the pin and he probably THS TOMB "OF ISQ3SW A y I r XJJ LTO Y ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY iil BOr W VXTI D! It seemed to take Rusty Wren"s wife long time to recover from the fright that Jasper Jay had given her. He had amused himself by dropping cherries upon the roof of her house. But the trick had bos amused the Wren family In the least.' " ' , Even after Johnnie Green had driv en the blue-coated rascal away from the dooryard Mrs. Rusty Wren was all aflutter. She .lumped at the slightest So that l how Rusty Wren came to hung a sign outside his door. noise. And she was so nervous that' Rusty soon saw that it was a great ef fort for her to go abroad for food for their hungry family. "You must stay right hereat home and rest," he urged her. "I ll find enough for the children to eat and for you too." he said manfully. And really there was nothing else for her to do; for her nerves were in a frightful state. Bo Rusty Wren took up his task cheerfully. He found It no easy one, either. Feeding six growing youngsters had kept both their parents working .every minute all day long, because the children were always clamoring for more food. And now they seemed half starved, for they had had nothing to ea,t all the time that Jasper Jay had kept Rusty and his wife hiding In their house. .i . Rusty Wren, however, was not one to complain, no matter what happened and every day from dawn, till dark he hurried out of the house te find some toothsome insect and bring it home to drop it into somebodj'"s yawning; mouth. ' " ." ' Indeed, he was so busy feeding his family that he scarcely hada chance to eat anything himself. Se he. grew quite thin. And though he still sang as merrily as ever, his wife noticed' the change (hat had come over him. Naturally, that made her worry, and since worrying was bad for her nerves. she began to grow worse instead of better. "I don't know what Is going to be come of us," she said at last. "As the children grow bigger they need more to eat. And I san see plainly that you 're never going to be able to provide enough for them." "Oh. they'll soon be old enough to leave home and catch their own in-' sects," Rusty told her hopefully. "And until that time comes I'll manage somehow, even if I have to work after dark." Hut that plan did not suit his wife at all. . "I shouldn't care to stay alone In the house at night with six small children, that will never do," she said. "I have itl" Rusty cried suddenly. "I'll get somebody to help me." Well, his wife didn't think much of that plan either. "1 don't like the idea of any strange bird coming into my house," she ob jected. "And you know yourself that you've always felt the same way about strangers." "I know " he replied "but this is different. I'll find a brisk young fellow somewhere.. And utter a day or two you won't mind him being here. He'll seem like Just one of the family." It took a great'deal of urging before Mrs. Rusty consented. But at last she said she was willing to give the plan a trial, though she felt sure It was bound to cause' trouble, somehow. So that is how Rusty Wren came to hang a sign outside his door, which said: BOY WANTED! fore them.

"He Is evidently playing fast with me now," I said, indicating the roses, "but 1 wonder if these flowers would have come if ha had gone back with my power of attorney in his pocket In stead of knowing that all this money that has been left to me Is still under my own control' - - "Well, I thinkVou have done right" said Alice reluctantly as she rose to to. I started to my feet as she said, "Then you will not come to see Ruth with me?" ...-.., "No, I am going to write my letter to Jdhn and say good-by " and every thing grew black, and, as if from a far distance, 1 heard Alice's excited excla mation. .. (To He Continued) Roads to Trieste Closeely Guarded; Wanderer Is Prey Trieste. The road to Flume is set with "traps" to catch the wandering adventurer. Nine posts of carabineers are placed along the way of 48 miles irom Trieste and passports and other documents are examined with the clos est scrutiny at each. An automobile cannot, pass the post unless the man on watch has consented and raises a wooden gate similar to-those at an American railroad crossing. ' Seven of the "traps" are on the Ital ian regular' command's side of the route and two on D'Annunzio's side. There are three within five miles of Trieste and the remaining four are scattered at about equal distances apart for the rest of the way until the poet's frontier is. reached. At the poet's frontier, the regular carabineer seeks the vise of the local zone guarding the armistice line and if the traveler has not got it, he is sent to the headquar ters of the nearest carabineer com mand, which Is located at Abbazla, two miles away.

They need manufacture only what they can sell at their price. Cotton, wool, wheat, lumber, iron, steel, and other non-perishables, can be held either by their producers or their users until needed.
