WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 192a ?AGE FOUR CaoitaNbJournal " - Selem, Oregon . An Independent Newapuper, Published every evening except Sunday Telephone 81; news 82 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher The Ting-a-ling Candidate It is becoming increasingly apparent that Senator Charles Hall of Marshfield is not only the Ku Klux Klan klandidate for governor but also the "Ting-a-ling" candi date, with "hello-central" working overtime for his elec tion. The telephone trust having secured a 100 percent increase in rates, which is probably considered equivalent to 100 percent Americanism, naturally wants a 100 percent governor, so when the proposed amendment passes for an appointive public service commission, phone interests will not suffer. .; : , Whatever the inspiration, The Coos and Curry Tele phone Co., of Marshfield, of which Mr. Hall is president, which is a subsidiary of thi trust, is sending out to all tele phone managers the following communication requesting that all employes be "lined-up" for the Telephone candidate as follows: - COOS AND CURRY TELEPHONE COMPANY Marshfield, Oregon April 20, 1922. Dear Mr. - The "Hall for Governor Club'' of Marshfield, has requested the writer to write you in behalf of the candidacy of Charles Hall for Governor. Mr. Hall, as you probably know. Is President of our nomnany. . In order to secure the telephone vole it was determined that if each telephone exchange would have letters written and signed by the employes addressed to the other various telephone companies, asklnK them to Dost them, also statins In this letter that It was their Intention to support Charles Hall for Governor, It would have a very desirable effect. Especially when each exchange had fifteen or twenty of these letters posted around the exchange It could not help but produce results. We do not believe such a communication to the exchangos would do any harm, but on the contrary feel that It would do considerable good. We therefore kindly ask that you have a letter addressed to all employes of telephone companies In Oregon, signed by all the employes of your company and mall them at the earliest possible date. Thanking you for giving this prompt action, as the time Is now ihort, I am, Very truly yours, . E. W. GATES, " . Superintendent. So telephone employes may expect to receive personal letters from their employers requesting their votes for Hall, the Ting-a-ling candidate, in the company's interest, and they may expect to be asked to sign letters advocating Hall for governor for influence on others, and so, help keep up Bell profits on public service. Twas Not Always Thus Will EC Purdy, sometimes facetiously dubbed by envious rivals as "Bath House Bill," who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination as governor in the May primaries, declares in the sad sweet story of his life depicting his rise from an itinerant evangelist to the exalted eminence of bath-house keeper, as a convincing clincher for his nom ination the fact that he is a "life-long Democrat." : But eight years ago, when Mr. Purdy ran independently for governor as a "Non-partisan" candidate, against the Democratic candidate, he was not so firm in his allegiance to the party, for all the woes of high taxation and high cost of livinsr he attributed to the two old political parties. He declared In his statement in the official pamphlet: 'The eloctors of the state of Oregon are grlevoviHly complaining at this time-of their high taxes, the high cost of living, and our corrupt courts, grafting attorneys and special privileged interests. Who la responsible tor these conditions other than the Republican and Democratio political parties and their leaders? They have been conducting the affairs of our state government, offering cancit dates for governor to our people and backing them for executive of flee for many years. This nieuns that taxes will still soar and high cost of living continue if these political parties cgntrol the state government." Mr. Purdy had not only lost faith in political parties but in the courts and in the bar. He was then a resident of Newberg and had just lost his celebrated lawsuit to re cover a $G5,000 property he claimed under a deed the su preme court had pronounced fradulent and probably ran for governor as a vindication, for his platform denounced the Btate bar association, "grafting attorneys" and "corrupt courts," as well as political parties. . "So it stands," he declared the people or Oregon in hand at this time td place in the executive office a man who is free and not bound by the elements that have been pre dominant and thriving during the soaring of our taxes and high cost of living." Yet the people refused to heed the plea for the demoli tion of the old parties and the reform of the courts, for Mr. Purdy received but 1515 votes of a quarter million cast. The purification of politics remains, like Pifrdy's election, an irridiscent dream. Not even the prospect of a Turkish bath allures the electorate to a plunge in the Purdy pool TARLIGHT ) By the Noted Author IDAH M'CLONE GIBSON The Eescue. 'After a time the others saw us bobbing about in the waves. A few minutes after Aunt Virginia and Mrs. Chester were minister ing to you on the dock. "You know the rest of , the story, dear." The news of the accident and the rescue spread over the city like wlld-flre. Some of the papers got out extras. There were flamboyant notices to the effect that "Eastern Foot ball Hero and Childhood Sweet heart of Virginia Winston, beau tiful Moving Picture Actress, Saves Her from Death," etc., etc, With the resilience of youth was all right the morning after the accident. In the afternoon Eddie arrived all smiles and bubbling lover with good health. . "Virginia," he said, "let's take a car drive back into tne nnia somewhere. I feel like a million dollars, but I don 't care for a look at the sea this morning." "Two minds with but a single thought," I quoted, dancing with Joy. Then a blush swept over me Eddie was looking at me with a strange, provocative look the look of the possessor. "Eddie," I protested, "don't look at me that way. Yon know what I meant." "What did you mean?'' he pur sued tantaltzlngly. I did not answer. 1 'I'm going for a ride with Eddie," I called to Aunt Virginia. She fluttered In. "That will be splendid, Virginia.

It is said sometimes by thought letts statesmen and by those who love to quote them, that the people are never better tban the officials they elect. We might as well say that no blunder is ever Innocently committed; or that to lack knowl edge of bad candidate's record is to be as criminal asMs the candi date.

" The sun was dipping lower and lower toward the hilltops as the motor purred Into the mountains restful feeling of peace and content settled over me. I leaned back and studied the splendid young figure sitting beside me In the motor. As my eyes roamed over his superb, supple body and lingered on his well chiseled pro file, I thought of a piece ot statu ary I had admired In the local art gallery. It was "The Discus Thrower." Lost In thought and unconscious of my scrutiny, Eddie was gazing straight ahead marvelled, as I contrasted this young god with the worn face and aging form of Theodore Stratton that I had ever been so blinded as to think the roue actor the Buper lor of the two. Finally we reached a little pic turesque spot, high up on the hills, where, on a small table land, stood characteristic California bunga low Inn of bark-covered logs. The chauffeur slowed down the car, saying: "vou can get supper here If you wish." "That will be splendid!" I ex claimed enthusiastically under the spell ot the beauty and the com panlonshtp ot Eddie. Eddie entered to arrange for dinner. There were apparently few gueBts at this hour. One other car was parked along the road side. "Let's take a walk, Vlrgie," proposed Eddie as he came back to where I was sitting ln the motor. 'It will be halt an hour before (hey can serve us." We strolled away toward the Bitting sun. The hills were a flame of azure gold and the verdure radiantly beautiful. We seemed loat In a virgin solitude.

The actress, while not an adept at handling the palette,' la thor oughly at home lu any art mu scum; Indeed she spends much ot her spare time In the Metropoli tan Museum in New York city. In "Find the Woman," Miss Rubens plays a part well suited to her outstanding talents. Shtf is seen as Sophie Carey, concert Dinger, who befriends a girl from country town who is In Ken- York to try to make her way on the stage.

'I'll i Frank Mayo adds credit to the name which his illustrious grand father first established on the American stage in "Davy Crock ett" and other legitimate successes in his Btarring performance in Tracked to Earth" at the Bligh theater today. It is a Saturday Evening Post story written by William Neidlg It was filmed at Universal City as a Universal Special Attraction un der th- direction of William vVorthington. Mayo has been a star with Uni versal too many years to do badly in anything. And the main figure in "Slippery Tongue" is that of an intriguing fascinating fellow who incidentally happens to be honest. The natural result of putting a good star and a good part together follows. The story has to do with a slick tongued man of the west who could talk himself out of any trou ble even horse-stealing when a typical western girl is his captor. Virginia Valll contributes a charming impersonation- to the general effect. Principal players who deserve commendation are Busk Conners, Duke Lee, Harold Goodwin, Arthur Millett, Percy Chalenger, Jack Walters and Lon Poff. Good photography of a hard subject the barren wastes of ireat stretches of sand hills in the jand hills country may be credit ed to Leland Lancaster, and the .liolce of excellent scenic spots for background to the director.
