Such was the observation of Senator George F. Hoar of Massachusetts, for half a century one of the countries lead ing statesmen, and one of the most scholarly men that ever graced public office, as expressed in his "Autobiography of Seventy Years." Senator Hoar actively campaigned against the "Know Nothing" party when it swept Massachusetts for three consecutive elections in the '50's, and was the most: He knew from experience the calibre of men who capitalize fanaticism for political profit the class now leading a simi lar secret movement in Oregon. .., Describing the Know Nothing movement, Mr. Hoar states: "This party swept Massachuetts in the autumn of 1854. It elected in that year the governor, lieutenant-governor, nil fiflflAf ra nf tha at at a nrnrafnmnnl 1 both houses of the legislature except two, and every member of congress. Its candidate for governor was Henry J. Gard- BiM"i.u puimcai organizer, rie organized with great skill the knave power and the donkey power of the commonwealth." That is what we have organized in Oregon, with, it must be admitted, a great deal of skill, under the leadership of the Ku Klux Klan and affiliated societies, the knave power and the donkey power of the commonwealth- the unscrupulous knaves who commercialize intolerance and the donkeys whose votes they deliver in solid blocks as a result of the appeal to prejudice. V V1 (?h?rrles Sumner nor Charles Allen ever toler ated the Know Nothing movement or made any terms with it. Its proscriptions and its secrecy were alike repugnant to their liberty loving souls," says Mr. Hoar.

Articles not meeting these specifi cations will be rejected. To the Editor Having read so much about the Compulsory Behool bill, I would like to eay a few words in its defense. It seems to me that tho oppon ents of it are coing very far in their statements; what about being wards of the state and not being taught religion in school f they shed crocodile tears and would impress upon us that this land is not the land of liberty, freedom of speech, press, and thought. Do they real ize that eighty five per cent of us are believers in our system of schools! If it is eood' for that many, why not for the fifteen per cent 7 State and church nrs spna.rn.ted or should bo; relfgion should not be taught in school; tbero certainly is time at home and on Sundays for that purpose. No time at homo, I hear some one say: Is tho excuse valid! Teach them then by examplo As the father of eleven children I know what I am talking about and then we have Sunday schools, church, etc. This noise, most of it is made by people born in Europe; they come hero to perpetuate their foreign idea and would love to start States of their own. whom Church would rulo the State. You, old Europeans, of which I am ono, came here forty three years ago from bwitzerland. Why have we come! didn't we export to-pros-por! hasn't this county dono a lot for His! Cannot we in turn do our part! To me the public school sys tem is(a grand and beautiful sys tem and I am willing to pay my snare of the expenses: it i monev well spent.

Jewish and Negro vote, because that vote is strictly opposed to the K. K. K. and came principally from the cities and small towns near the pollinfj places, while farm vote was not represented in iue primary election. Our primary election comes at a t.im n farmers are very busy and many do nut iaKe tne time to vote. I believe that much of stuff that Mr. Walter Piorn giving about reducing taxes is pure uuua. from ais past record one is naturally led to belinv tut fc. wouia increase taxes, rather than re uuce tnem. Would it not be bet ter for us to co back to th mim, Hon system of nominating om. dates for office, it at least would bp far more economiiaal anrl could get fully as good material to vote ior as wo could through the primary system. The Question in nf. ten asked, why is the Ku Klux aian opposed to Koman Catholic ism: Because Catholics arn fit subjects of the pope of Bomo a roreign potentate and oitizens of tue country in which thev livn ... ond. A Boman Catholic owes first allegiance to tho Pone and ' fci church and must obey the priests. This is the reason whv thorn in a catholic vote, which the priests con trol and swing to any party if they wish to. and often do. W hear of a Methodist. or Baptist vote, but we hear much about the catholic votn nf tho cities and how office eeekerd often bid for it and the priestgtuse it for the benefit of their and schools and members of their church. While-tho writer does not believe in secret nisrht raids ani punishment of law brakers, yet the iy. li. ii. lias evidently dnnn mn.T, good in some of the Southern States wnoro it has been a terror tn evil doers and has reached cases that were exempt from criminal cution. We have heard that a num. bcr of Doctors and Lawyrs have been whiped, tared and feathered, mese were peruana cases that thp law could not reach and if thev couia nave Deen reached by. law might have been verv exnenaivo to the tax payers. Lawyers may ue uisoarea rrom practice for a criminal offence, but as a tuIb exempt from criminal prosecution. ur criminal laws are to lax. it costs us to much to prosecute criminals, there are too many de lays, remands, postponements and appeals auowea in criminal cases.

Susanne's Triumph Sines that- day on my bended k.ir. aolro Rhaita'a fnrfflVnAAa fOT that momentary treachery to her when 1 sat on tne step in tne aura, ened stairway and allowed the soph istries, the innuendoes, the word poison of Susanne Jonas to influence e even ior a moment.. Pprhnnn it Wftji & orjnrl thinfr that I did half believe her. It made me mm.h mnffl foment toward f nil S Htunicion and weakness and heloed later to strengthen Sheila's respect for Phil even when he doubted her. But that night I sat there in the darkness and made no sign even though I thought that my brother's wifA wag trniniv swat with onfl fif his best friends. Knowing what I did of Tony Soper, I felt that he was Quite blameless in the matter because even I knew Sheila's fas cination and appeal. If I a woman, were alwava want ing to solve the splendid mystery tnac was oenina tnat misty veil tnat drooped over Sheila's eves, how much more would it whet the cur iosity of Tony Soper a man. It seemed that my whole world was disintegrating about me. Dark ness, cold, and blinding rain was without and within my soul. I do not think that I could have sat there in the darkness and made no sign if in some way I had not felt the lizht touch of Blake's anirit hand on my shoulder. It calmed me strengthened me it seemed to si lently say: "Wait. Everything passes." Perhaps this was auto-susf?estion. Perhaps it was because I wanted Blake so much just then that I persuaded myself that he was there. Perhaps oh. I love to think that h really was there and that ha heln- ed to bring back my ultimate faith in women and mv love and rpcrarrt for my brother. The two people in front of me did not stir. I wondered at their im passiveness. Surely they would not wait there until the rain had ceas ed. Already that deeper iferknAM which comes just before dawn was making the nieht blacker, if fea sible, than before. Great gusts of wind blew sheets of water into th. doorway where we were. It even reached me, and Phil and Susanne must have been thoroughly drenched but as far as I could discern they were so engrossed in their own thoughts that they did not notice it at all.

It Drobablv was onlv minutes, but it neemed hours when the convulsive ly sobbing breath came faster, and I leit tnat busanne was crying. Phil roused himself with a start from whatever dark mood he had entered. Evidently he was calling himself a brute for forgetting Su sanne. 'What is it. dear!

There was a little tri umph, in Susanne's voice. Then she added: "Remember France." "My brave Susanne. If vou can care for me after this, I will try to mate up to you for your coura geous faith in me." There was a sound of a long, cling ing kiss. Some way it made me shudder a little. Phil was my brother ui Sheila was his wife.
