The Yellow Ticket , Walter Pierce lead8 the yellow ticket at the coming elec tion as a reward for betrayal of democratic principles by endorsing the so-called compulsory school bill. Ihe yellow ticket 19 that put out by the Ku Klux Klan and allied "pa triotic" societies, who are endeavoring to supplant political parties in Oregon, and dictate through a secret board of bosses the policies of state and seize the spoils of office. The yellow ticket was originally put out by the Orange lodges who rallied the remnants of the old A. P. A. and formed an organization of secret societies devoted to the spreading of anti-Catholic propaganda, appealing to the re ligious prejudice and intolerance of bigots for political profit. So thoroughly organized have they become in Port land that half a dozen unknowns brag they can deliver 25, 000 votes to any candidate or for any measure they desire. By means of this canned vote, many unknowns and medioc rites have defeated prominent citizens for no other reason than that the former have been on the yellow ticket. ' The sole idea of the compulsory" school bill is to strike at the Catholics and close their parochial schools and to serve as a rallying point for fanatics. However to do this, it is necessary to close all other church and private schools, but the bigots back of the measure, who prate of their love of the public school (yet never have done anything for the public or any other schools) do not hesitate to work any injustice, proviaea oniy ineir prejuuice is appeased. When Mr. Pierce was a member of the senate he believed in church and parochial schools; he consistently voted for measures authorizing and recognizing such schools. In 1903, he introduced S- B. No. 199, which read as fellow's: "Corporations may be formed tor acquiring, holding and disposing of church or religious society property for the benefit of religion, for works of charity and for public worship in the manner hereinafter . Provided In this act. . "Any person being the archbishop, bishop, president, trustee in trust, president of stake, overseer, presiding elder, rabbi or clergy man of any church or religious society who shall have been duly chosen, elected or appointed In conformity with the constitution canons, rltee, regulations or discipline of said church or religious society and In whom shall be vested the legal title to the property of such cnurcn or religious society, may make and subscribe written articles of Incorporation In duplicate, and acknowledge the same before some officer authorized to take acknowledgements, and file one of such articles In the office of the secretary of state and retain possession of the other." While this bill did not pass, S. B. 173 did, with the aid of Mr, Tierce s support. It provided : "Whenever any church, religions, benevolent, literary educational, dentine, fine art, musical, ongravlng, architectural or charitable oclety, or any society which shall have for Its object the development of the physical or mental capacities of lta members or others, or the development of architecture or mechanics, shall desire to Incorporate ror the purpose of carying out the objects of such church, school or society, they may do so, etc." .. So it is apparent that until he was coerced by the Ku Klux Klan, Mr. Pierce believed in private and church schools. To be awarded a place on the yejlow ticket means nine times out of ten, that the candidate is either a fanatic or that he has made terms with invisible government and sur rendered principle for expediency. It usually means the consumation of a bargain that spells corruption, just as much as If the barter was in money, as in votes- It means in many instances the betrayal of self-respect for power. ueuer oy iar to be deieated than to purchase success by capitulation of principle. Of what availeth it, if a man gain the world but lose his soul, or what masquerades as a soul, in a politician ? Does it ever pay to be insincere, even for office?

All such belong on the yellow ticket. PANTOMIME By J. H. Striebel if 31 THANK - illm r.

A I hung up the receiver, heard a motor drive up furiously and stop at my door with a sudden screeching of brakes. My heart stopped beating and then started T.-ith such a -pumping of my congealed blood that I had to grasp the chair from which I had risen, for support. Uncon sciously I held my breath while waiting for the sound of the bell, I wondered if any servants were still up. It seemed hours before I heard a quick step which I recognized that of my brother coming through the hall. Tensely I listened. Would he pass my door and go to Sheila s room What explanation could I make of her absence) I knew that Phil had seen the af ternoon papers and I was sure that the same painful apprehension that I had about Sheila's name being bandied about on the lips of the public had brought him here. i was so engrossed in my own surmises that I did not realise at first that Phil had stopped at my door and was knocking insistent "Kay, Kay," ho said. "Wak up! It is Phil. I must see you im mediately. At the sound of his voice my an ger flamed. Whet had Phil Spen cer to say to met Why had he come to mo instead of come to his wife At first I decided that I would not see him, but the sound of his fistg against my door became loud er Kim touaer ana ins voice was raising to higher pitch. I called to him lest he wake the rest of the people in the house. "Phil, do not disturb the whole street." 'Let me in, Kay," he replied im patiently. I was very deliberate, fo 1 knew that I must compose myself beforo I met him. I was trembling with anger, When at last I opened the door the sight of Phil shocked mo be yond words. Ho was disheveled ana dirty, lie looked as though he had not slept for nights. Hi9 face was a kind of dead grey. His eyes were bloodshot and his hands which Krupea peculiarly uerore him as though ho could not see, were spas modically trembling. A wild idia flashed through mv I was looking upon for days last weok with Susanne Jones and why you spent last night in that terrible storm opposite the most notorious house in all the city again with that woman." Phil dropped into a chair. His face grew ashen. "How did you know this, Kay Who could have told youf I had come here to tell you this myself, Who knows it besides Susanne and me, and now yout" 1 did not want to tell him jufrt yet that the chief of police and Doctor Thornton also knew it, and so I answered oulv half of his question. "No one told me. I was in Atlan tic City and saw you myself on tb steel pier and I satisfied myself mat you were at one of the hotel with busanne Jones. I, myself, was ntat doorway just behind you and that woman all the night ah tftat mghtT" Phil repeat- ea stupidly. V It P . .

HATFIELD SABINA, OHIO la Pitiable Condition When She Began Taking Lydia L Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound India's method of judging a man by his caste in about as In telligent as our method of Judging im by his cash. To the Editor: The coming election seems to center more about the compulsory school bill than any other issue, and as I un derstand the bill is aimed espe cially , against certain private schools. How much bitterness it has caused and how many wars have been fought to theutter ruin of the combatants, about this same old idea of compelling somebody to act like ourselves or trying to in fringe upon the rights of another! My neighbor's ideas and religion may seem queer to me, but so long as he gets any comfort and bless ing out of it and it makes him a better man, he certainly should be entitled to it. History shows us that some of the world's greatest men were educated in private schools. The teaching of Socrates were so de spised by the state that he was finally condemned to death, but the school of Socrates produced Plato and Aristotle, the intellect ual lights of the world. There is something fascinating about a properly conducted private school. Here the master leads the pupil onward, not only to pass the grade test and go over to some other teacher, no; to make a mas ter mind of the pupil. He knows his every nyiod, his shortcomings and possibilities. The pupils is his intellectual child, he urges him onward through life to attain his goal. L. E. SWENWOLD. Salem, Or., Oct. 24.
