GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher
Hawley Has a R ival
Despite the fact that -Representative W. C. Hawley is
now serving his eighth term as congressman, and is a candi
date for his ninth term, no legislation bears his name and
he has been identified with none of the epoch making eventa
of his long tenure of office. He never makes a speech, or
'introduces a bill, and were it not for the free packages of
seeds he distributes under his frank at government expense
and his biennial visits home for reelection, 10 one would
know that the district had a representative in congress.
What has Mr. Hawley done for the district, for the state
or for the nation that entitles him to a life job? His acr
cornplishments are conspicious by their absence. He has
merely marked-time and drawn his salary and mileage.
When there yas a "pork-barrel," he stood in to secure a
slice. He was a faithful follower of Uncle Joe Cannon in
the days of the old regime and is still a staunch organisa
tion man of the "me-too" type. Seniority has given him
place on important committees, but it profiteth his con
stituency naught.
So it is small wonder that there U a popular revolt
throughout the length and breath of the district against
further continuation of Mr. Hawley'a soft snap and the organ
ization of a movement to replace him with a man of action,
which has culminated in the effort to nominate A. W. Norblad
of Astoria, for many years one of the leaders of the state
senate and one of the most energetic hustlers and live
wires of the coast country.
Fortune has been kind to Mr. Hawley. For many
years he. has drawn his comfortable salary without having
to face opposition in his own party or at the polls, which
has given rise to the myth that he is unbeatable. As a mat
ter of fact in the sixteen, years he has held office never
but once did he have a real competitor in his own party, and
that was many years ago. Since then he has been handed
the office on a silver platter.' But there is every indication
that the people want a change and intend to have it, and
that Mr. Hawley is about to receive the surprise of his
life at the coming primaries.
A Campaign Canard
Many of the reckless charges being made by disgruntled
radicals and professed reformers against state officials are
- without foundation of fact, but their constant repetition is
cunningly calculated to injure the reputation and besmirch
the fair fame of those attacked.
For instance in a recent communication to the Capital
Journal's "Open Forum," R..R. Ryan, "the well known
Socialist, made the erroneous assertion that Senator Louis
Lachmund wasr illegally receiving a salary of $1800 a year
as ,a member of the prison parole board. T
Mr. Lachmund has been too ill for the past month to
reply to the atack made upon him, and Mr. Ryan has not
made any effort to correct the injustice done. The facts
of the matter are that members of the parole board draw
no salary or other compensation, but unselfishly devote a
great deal of their time and energy to prison work, merely
for the sake of the service they can render society. Mr.
Lachmund, being a resident of Salem does not even draw
mileage.
It is an easy matter for, malcontents assailing officials
to secure the facts in such cases, but- agitators seldom
want facts. Their theory is that a lie well stuck to is
better than the truth, at least during a political campaign
hence they "lie by day, they lie by night, and they lie for
the mere lust of lying."

An Enlightened Theo
I looked at Theodore Stratton
In astonishment. Abhorant ,. as
was his suggestion that he divorce
his wife In order-to marry me, still
It seemed ast hough he was going
to be honest with himself a well
as with me.
At that moment I knew' that
never again would I have the un
reasoning, all-absorbing tnrlll-of
rapture that I had -experienced
when this man, whom had re
garded almost as a .Clod, had told
me that he loved me.
The hurt was not that he had
shown himself selfishly unworthy
but that I found myself Incapable
of any love emotion at his fervid
avowals.
Theodore Stratton, splendid
moving picture actor that he was,
bad learned by his own simula
tion of emotion to read the -souls
of all those about" him la their
facial expressions. I did not have
to tell hlm""that nothing he could
say would bring back that glor
ious first love that I had given
him. v
Manlike, however, he could not
help putting his all to the test.
Tell me, Vlrgle, have I entire
ly lost out? You know at least
I am sure that ypu have been
told that r have loved many wo
men, But I swear tJyou that all
thpse that have gone before are
like the unnumbered, unnoticed
leaves upon the trees which are
blown hither and thither by the
vagrant Wind.
"Oh, my dear, my dear! 1
know that, you, In your Innocence
and purity, are the embodiment of
the well-beloved. You are the one
have been seeking all my life
and never found.
"And, Virginia, we could do so
much make so much of our lives
together. If I can not appeal to
your love let me appeal to your
ambition.
"With your father as director
we could scoure the writing world
tor the Btorles that would suit ua.
You would' be starred as no wo
man ever was starred before. I
would subordinate my popularity,
my talent, my personality to has
ten your advance "
Stratton stopped abruptly with
the word as though an icy hand
had tightened around his heart.
It seemed almost a physical con
traction to me. I believe that at
that moment Theodore Stratton
saw a vision of himself as he
would be. when he was no louger
the most popular of screen actors
when be was no longer a great
rover when he was.no longer
young enough to simulate youth
to youth; when he was no longer
yonug enough to simulate youth.
I believe that the dynamic force
of that idea, striking Stratton for
the first, time, overwhelmed his
ego, and left him changed, weak
ened. I believe that at that mo
ment Theodore Stratton began
the rapid decay 'in looks and In
technique which caused him to
abondon the screen In less than
tvo short years.
"Won't you try to love me Just
a little, VlrgieT" he pleaded In
a choked voice after a little sil
ence. It was a changed Theo, a
subdued and chastened Theo who
spoke.
"I can't even try, Theo. Honest
ly I would like to do so even more
for my own sake than for yours.
You must know that something
very beautiful, has gone out of my
life, something I am almost sure
I will never have again." . v
He came toward me with Ms
eyes alight.
"Let me try to bring It back,
Virginia?"
"You can't do It, Theo, any
more than I. I gave Into your keep
ing the trusting soul of an ador
ing child and the steadfast heart
of a faithful, loving young Wo
man. Had you come to me at
that time and told me yourself
that you were married, I, in the
first flush of my love for you.
would have given my life into
your keeping, never counting the
sacrifice ot my reputation or the
moral code. In my mad passion
I fear I would have forgotten even
the prior rights ot your wife anu
child.
"When I came' to understand
that I was not big, overwhelm
ing factor In your life without
which you could not live; and
that deep down In your heart you
had known this when you told me
that I was your great love
whon, at last, I know, that you
had Intended to treat me Just as
you have perhaps treated many
other girls, I began ' to use my
reason.
"My pride came to my aid anu
helped to stifle my pain. And then
one morning I awakened to find
that I no longer loved you. At
that moment I knew that you
could never be anything In my
life again.
VI don't bate you, Theo, but
you cant hurt me any more. 1
don't even care what you ao u
whom you make love. ' I don't
even think ot you any more, or at
least I haven't thought ot you
now for many days when I have
been away from you.
"Do you remember, Theo, the
first day met you on the train
when I was a little 'country girl
bound tor Hollywood, and I ask
ed you when you were going to
pull off my wtngs?
"You seemed surprised and a
little hurt at my eueattoa then.
Theo. But since that faraway day'
you have pullet them off. You did
