But even, a slush fund judiciously administered, secures only the hearty support of the politicians. It never popularizes a can didate in tne true sense. .Proctor's money will be as impotent in popularizing Wood as Ryan's was in popularizing: Parker." Ortran- i.ied wealth could not elect Taft or Hughes and it could not defeat Wilson. Even in Oregon, comparatively poor men have been honored with office. There was no power of wealth back of Chamberlain, West, Lane, Withycombe or McNary and some of them were opjKised by millionaires. The slush fund expose will strengthen IHram Johnson with the people the one republican candidate who has aroused popular enthusiasm at the primaries and who with out organization has developed a popularity that all the slush funds have been unable to purchase for his opponents.

Meaning Of Word Willamette Still Held In Doubt That meanings of Indian words are elusive things has been the discovery made by Professor J. D. Hentfro uf Willamette university, who has been itlemptlng to discover the meaning lt the name "Willamette," Since the Inquiry made In the pages of the Journal several days ago, a iiiimlwr of peoplo have' communicated with the professor on the subject, but al though some of them thought thy had the answer,, nothing uuihoritntive was found. Lewis and Clark wore very probab ly the first white men to set eye on the Willamette river, nnd Willamette was the name It bore at that time. The name Is supposed to luie been the name of a tribe, There Is a tra flltloii that the older Indians tlnee time immemorial have kept silent about the meaning of the word,, but that one old man who held the secret once was Induced to divulge tho mean lug, which was "green water." Pop ular belief seems to be that the name means "river of peace," but so far no verification of this meaning has been ndvaneed. He He Census Figures 6.

Out (of a corner of his eye Brownie Beaver watched Timothy Turtle close ly. Brownie., had not forgotten how Timothy seized his mother by the tail. night long. And in spite of all their efforts they saw that even then a few leaks would have to go unmended. But they did not get snappish nor lose their tempers. They were riot like Timothv Turtle. Though he slept a great part of the night, and waked up to watch the workers early in the morning, his temper was worse than ever. He was paddling through the ware, close to the dam when Brownie Bea ver called to him. "Yon-see that stick?" said Brownie, pointing to a stout piece of box elder that stuck out of the dam. . -i m not blind." Timothy Turtle snarled back at him. "Well, please don't bite it, any how!" Brownie Beaver begged him. That was enough for Timothy Tur tle. The mere fact that he thought somebody didn't want him to do a cer tain thing was sure to make him do it. So without faying another word he seized that stick in his powerful jaws. And bracing his feet against the inner side of the dam, half In the water and half out, he pulled with all his strength. Now and then he turned his beady eyes toward Brownie Beaver una frowned at him, as if to say, "Don'T. before marriage was John camouflag ed with the beautiful colors of a man in love. . .

' Grant had Just returned from a tri umphal tour around the world and stood upon a pinnacle. The fact that an early Pennsylvania state convention declared against third terms ,and that the House of Representatives made similar proclamation by a vote of 234 to 18, did not stop the Grant campaign. He went into the convention with S04 votes. Sharp practices were used In seating some contested delegates ana in seeking to break the inhibition against the "unit rule," and in a sen sational attempt by Conkling to force a pledge that every delegate would be hound by Its decision and would sup- nomlneo. hese things aside, the fidelity Grant forces was : marel6us. hey never broke.

This was the first convention in which serious effort was made to base apportionment of convention delegates on republican votes, instead of gross population an effort to subordinate Southern influence an effort still con summated. The platform of the convention, drafted by a committee of which Mc Kinley was chairman, made tariff pro tection the paramount issue, sounded s new note for railway regulation, de clared for the 8-hour day, and spoke against any "entangling alliances" with France. Ninth Convention. When the ninth quadrennial repub lican party conclave met In Chicago, June 9, 1888, James G. Blaine was still the towering giant among all republi cans. Particularly after Cleveland Is sued his famous tariff message and the Mills bill was introduced, circum stances and necessities seemed to call "the plumed knight" once more to leadership. But 111 health made such activity for him impossible. Blaine re fusal to allow' the consideration of his name although some delegates insist ed upon voting for him to the end. vvThe only other candidate of pre vious convention prominence was John Sherman of Ohio, who had twice pre viously sought the palm.

Blaine's strongest opposition came from Arthur, who had succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Gar field and who .contrary to precedent, had been very acceptable in meeting his graduated responsibilities. Arthur was from New York. Yet It was New York which ultimately gave Blaine the nomination, only to defeat him later at the polls by giving Cleveland a scant majority of 1149 in the great Empire state small enough in a single county, yet big enough in thU instance to over run the country.
