GEORGE FDTNAM, Editor and Publisher
Our Captain Jinx
In every great crisis in the world's affairs, providence
produces a great leader of humanity to guide its destinies.
In the present grave emergency, when the future of Oregon
hangs jn the balance, and gloom, like an Oregon mist en
velops the office-seekers, a benign providence has consider
ately raised-up the man of the hour, Colonel George A.
White as a military Moses to lead us out of the wilderness
into the promised land. ; . - .
Like another great American, also a George, Colonel
White is first in war, first in peace, and first in "creating
enthusiasm in the hearts of all loyal and patriotic voters."
We have his word for it and who would dispute such
unquestioned and impeccable authority?
Like his famed predecessor, Captain Jinks of the horse
marines "who feeds his horse on corn and beans," Colonel
White is a military hero. Just what great battles he won,
except those of the swivel chair, or in what engagements
he participated, except ,hose of the filing case, are not
vouchsafed, but the glittering war decorations across
his manly chest testify that he won the war, in whatever
capacity it was, a fact confirmed by a resolution he drafted,
passed by the Oregon legislature. What better authority
could there be? And in addition to his war crosses, is he
not entitled to wear the double-cross for attacking his com
mander-in-chief to whom he is indebted for his command?
Colonel White's peerless business qualifications speak
for themselves. Have we not his acheivement of doubling
his own salary and making his job a life one? And has
he not refused to resign to make his campaign unless the
people vote him a better job with more money?
Like all great Americans, Colonel White had humble
beginnings. Abraham Lincoln split rails; James A. Gar
field rode a canal mule; Andrew Jackson mended pants
and George A. White shoveled coal, at least we are so in
formed by our hero himself as follows:
"I learned about labor by doing It myself, uhovollng coal slack,
5,000 pounds (or SI. I was only a kid, and I used to go home so
dug-tired tbut I couldn't got up enough courage even to undress.
I
was anil amed to soil mother's clean beds with all that coal dust
.mil fi'lnifi, ho I tiRii!il!v pulled a blanket on to the floor and slept
there, dropping oft to sleep aluiost the Instant I hit the floor."
So it is plain that Colonel White is one of the common
people just how common deponent sayeth not, for he
might have taken a bath. His touching narrative as well
as other salient features of his campaign, vividly recall
that pictureque personality of the sea, the hero of Her
Majesty's Ship Pinafore, who summarized his career as
follows: '
When I was a lad, I served a terra
As office boy in a lawyer's firm;
I waahed the windows and I scrubbed the floor
And I polished up the handle of the big front door.'
Oh, I polluhcd It up so eare-ftil-lee
That now I am the ruler of the Queen's navee.
The difference, of cqurse being that the admiral paraded
at sea and our hero on land. ,
Small wonder then, that the Colonel is "sweeping the
state like a prairie fire." lie' says so, and he ought to
know. With the modesty of a shrinking violet, he declares
also that he is "the best man in the state who is free to
serve the people in this crisis a man size man, who has
.stalwatt ability, courage, tireless energy"
; "And still the wondr grows
. That one small head can carry all he knows."
' The Betrothal
Eddie' was ahead preparing to
help me over an old-fashioned
dtyle at the side of the house. Kn
raptured. I watched the stalwart
figure of the man I loved. And as
tgazed, love-Dound. a stanssa
from an old poem came to my
lips:
"Across the hills and far away,
Beyond their utmost purple
rim.
Across the nigh across the day,
She followed him."
PORTLAND PROTECTS
SHIPS IN LOB
Portland, Or., April it. The
city today took a hand In the
longtjlioi'titnen's strike here when
Mayor G. L. Maker announced,
after a conference betweeu city
and county officii! la members of
the Portland dock committee and
a representative of the water
front employers union, that oper
ators of vessels would be assured
-uf loading and unloading vessels
here. The local officers pledged
protection to all while labor en
gaged In longshoremen's work, ac
cording to the announcement.
The action was taken, It was said,
so that vessels need not be routed
elwhnr to avoid strike condi
tions here.
POISON FOUND IN
CHILDREN'S STOMACHS
Pocalello, Idaho, April 27.
Poison was found In each of the
stomachs of the two Taylor chil
dren who died Sunday near Firth,
SO miles uorth of Pocatello.
The mother, Mrs. Luella Taylor,
S3 years of age, wife of James I)
Taylor of Kimball, a Binall settle
ment south of Firth, declares she
placed the poison In cocoa and
gave it to her tour children Satur
day evening, acting under a hul
luelnatlon that she had been com
manded by God to sacrifice her
loved ones. As a result Edward.
8, and Leltoy, aged 18 months.
are doad and Arlio, S, Is expected
to recover. Keith, aged S years,
ts said to have noticed a peculiar
taste to the cocoa and rejected it.
Some folks enjoy being fooled more
than being satisfied.
Take a doctor's advice about what you
should eat, and you won't have to take hi
medicine.
Neighbors know more about you than you
know about yourself.
Real economy consists in knowing how

Ilez Heck Says:
"The way to git a secret 'out
of a woman is to tell her one vf
your oivn."
, I had not meant this for Eddie,
but with ears attuned to love's
song he heard. He turned slowly
toward me, his eyes aglow with
tender Paulson, his face alight
with love Ineffable.
Taking me tenderly in his arms
he seated me atop the style. With
his arms still about me we sat
thus in silence for several loag,
ecstatic moments. Then 'abruptly,
in the sudden gathering twilight,
he murmured: "Do yon mean It,
Virginia?1 Do you mean it? Oh,
I love you love you love you.
"Virginia, you are the only
sweetheart I have ever had. 1
learned the word .'sweetheart' as
though it were your name, and I
spelled it Virgie every time. Yes
terday, when I thought I had lost
you my Ood, may . I never have
such agony again! Tou are so
sweet, so wonderous.
Oh. Virgie. I have loved you
since we first kissed each other
as chidren when we could hard
ly stand' upon our tiny, wavering
feet. Do you remember?"
or answer my arms stole up
around his neck; my face upturn
ed to his. Seizing me Impetu
ously in a passionate embrace,
Eddie gazed long and steadily into
my eyes. Our lips met In an en
raptured kiss. It was a love such
as. I had never J.nown before
had never dreamed could be.
Slowly, In silence, we walked
along the graying path. Back n
the hills the sun was bidding us
good night. We paused for a mo
ment, as lovers will, under the
screen of , lace formed by the
branches of a marvelously beau
tiful pepper tree.
A voice broke into bur. dream
ing.
"Beth."
We turned quickly to confront
a strange man!
He was diHtingulshed looking,
tall, thin and pale. He was ex-
tromely agitated and stood gazing
Intently at me. it flashed across
my mind that this Intruder was
mad.
Eddie straightened up belliger
ently, but I gestured him to sll
enoe.
t ne stranger nau spoken my
mother's name.
I studied bin) as Intently as he
did me. Where, had I seen him!
I wracked my memory for the
haunting, illusory clew. A burst
of Intuition enlightened me.
This man was the original of the
aid diiguorrotype which Aunt Vir
ginia Jiad shown me that very
morning.
He was my father t-he father
whom I had never known.
Again, as thought doubting his
senses, he demanded:
"Who are you?,"

ABANDONMENT OF .
CAMPISJPPOSED
Tacoma, Wash., April 27; Gov
ernor Louis F. Hart has sent a
telegram to President Hal-ding- de
claring that " abandonment of
Camp Lewis by the war depart
mont will constitute a "breach of
faith that the people of the north
west will not soon forgive."
The governor, in his telegram,
declared that the government had
entered Into a 'definite compact
with the state of Washington and
the people of Pierce county to
maintain a division at Camp Lew
is and that as a result of that com
pact the state legislature in 1917
passed the requisite legislation for
the residents of Pierce county to
donate the Camp Lewis site to the
government. ,, 1
Pierce county bonded itself for
$2,000,000 to buy the site, the
governor informed the president,
and the bonds will not be paid off
for 16 years. The site was pre
sented after long negotiations, he
said, and after Secretary of War
agreed that "as soon, and as long
as appropriations made by con
gress and the military demands
upon the mobile forces permit," i
division of troops should be niain
tained at Camp Lewis.
