The candidates promise anything that will not come due until after election. Are taxes too high? They will be magically cut in two. Are phone rates too high? They are summarily ordered reduced. Are the farmers having hard times? A vote for the yellow ticket will bring prosperity. As for lies they are without end. As soon as one Is :ij Uni o fairs ita nlnfp T.ilce the vivimrous surf JUW1CU, man a owe j... ,11 j perch that frequents our coastal waters, each one hooked gives birth to a hundred young ones in me miming piutcaa, vu,u 8c&tter on careers of their own. ,, A lie well stuck to is better than the truth, Is the ku klux motto and it is pretty well lived up to. One can still hear as campaign argument the thread-bare lies of the primary hoary with age, but still going strong. One can hear most any old time and most any old place that Governor Olcott is a Catholic, that his wife is a Catholic, that his children go to a parochial school, that he has been signally honored by the pope, that his sister, altho he has none, is a Catholic nun, that his strict Methodist parents are Catholics and so on, Infinitum.. , Of course it should make no difference what anyone s religion is in this free country of ours, but under the new dispensation of hate, malice and fanaticism the Ku Klux have inaugurated, it is the sole qualification- The mere fact that the governor is not a Catholic and has no Catholic affiliations, does not matter in the least facts never trouble klansmen. With an persistency worthy of a better -cause, they continue to make him one. The fight upon the mis-called Compulsory school bill, is being waged by Protestants. Every Protestant newspaper opposing this measure, and most of them are Protestant, does so because the bill violates,constitutional rights of minorities and inherent rights of parents, a vicious, measure that can only make for discord by promoting bigotry. Yet you can hear on most any corner the lie that only the Catholics oppose the bill, and that newspapers like The Capital Journal are Catholic. "They lie by day and they lie by night, and they lie for the mere lust of lying." A Political Play Without havinsr bothered to conduct an investigation into conditions, the State Public Service commission, or rather the two members installed by the recall last sprjng, have ordered a blanket reduction in telephone rates effective December 1. The drastic order is merely a political play made on the eve of election to secure vote3 for Mr. Kerrigan who is a can didate for re-election on the yellow ticket. The telephone company will of course appeal to the courts, secure an injunc tion and prevent the order from going into effect, but it will Berve its purpose of securing the votes ot the unthinking. Such action as that taken by the commission is contrary to the spirit of the law creating the commission and the theory of a square deal to both public and corporation under which it operates. Until investigation of conditions is com pleted and the data at hand to justify in court the rate established, all such arbitrary rulings must be regarded as political but quite in keeping with the demagogy now pre valent in Oregon pontics. Kates are too nigh, but such methods accomplish nothing. The two members of the commission making this grand- i i i iJr i a. 1 J 1 Biana piay, nave Deen in omce since may uui oeyonu mamng several such illegal iour-tlushmg moves, has accomplished nothing towards securing reduction- The commission should be taken out of politics and its former good name reestab lished. This can best be done by the election of 1 nomas K. Campbell, a member of the first commission, which kept out of politics and functioned sanely and satisfactorily for both people and corporations. . Citizenship Above Partisanship Judge Stephen A. Lowell, prominent jurist and republi can leader, onnosed the so-called compulsory school bill in an address in this city Thursday night; Mrs. Alexander Thompson, legislator, woman s club worker and democratic leader, takes a similar stand in a letter to The Guard today. Thus we have it illustrated that m all cases where fund amental rights of citizenship are assailed partisanship gives way to the higher claims of citizenship and it is because of this spirit of patriotism that the world's only experiment in democratic government on a large scale has been able to weather the storms of religious fanaticism and racial prejudice that emanate with remarkable regularity from the feud-racked peoples of the Old World. The proposed school law is a challenge to the enlightened Protestantism of America which is based -upon freedom of conscience to worship God." Aside from the abridgment of the rights of parents to rear their children in their chosen faith and to educate them as their judgment dictates, it means more taxation to relieve already crowded schools; and strife and prejudice that will drive some people from the state and prevent others from coming here- This in turn means still more taxes, since expensive public improvements have been based very largely upon (he assumption that increasing population and wealth may be expected to take care of grow ' Ing bond interest charges and maturing obligations. It will prove, indeed, a sorry experiment in radical legislation should A majority of the voters of Oregon see fit to register their repudiation of the fundamental principles of Americanism by voting m favor of the mis-called compulsory school bill. North Dakota is now paying a heavy penalty for a less serious infraction of the principles of legitimate self-govern rnent. Eugene Guard.

Then abruptly he said: 'Kay, when I saw Sheila coming out of that notorious resort ine other nicht I saw red. "Her presence iu such, a place was overwhelmingly proof that all Sue had said and implied was true I was astounded, aghast at what I saw even though Susanne's claims had prepared me for something un usual. . "For a moment I thought that someone was trying to kidnap her but as she entered the taxi with out protost yes, even eagerly, with Tony Super whose arms I had just seen about her I could only inter pret it one way. ''As you know, if you were there I hurried out into the rein for a taxi. "All through that terrible rido back to Busanne's home, I was con scious that my heart kept beating out: 'It's true! It's truel Sue has told you the trulh. Sheila does not love you any more. "Women are queer things, Kay, Under no circumstances would a man think of telling a woman after such an agonising night that things had come out just as he had pre dieted. In fact I do not think that a man usually says 'I told you eo But Sue took that moat inopportune time to tell me that her plans which we had put into practice sometime before were working out all right and that we had hotter make ar- ninuements to sail for southern France ts soon as possible. ' Thil,' sho said, 'I must speak now, otherwise you will go one mak. ing yourself more and more unhap py. 'There is only one thing to do. You must tear Sheila . from your heart immediately.' "She had drawn so near to me that her head was almost on my breant. "God I I can still feel the disgust with which I brushed a tondril of her damp hair from my cheek. It was like something cold and slimy that was about to enmesh me. I had a sort of soul horror as well on physical disgust. It was a feeling as intuitive as it was elemental. Oh, I cannot do that Sue!" protested, drawing away from her amazed at her purpose. Of course it was perfoctly obvious to me what she meant.' "Susanne is not the kind of girl to boat about the bush, Phil," I in terrupted venomously. "Well, at least she didn't thU time," he returned grimly. Then he added: "Susanne continued: "'You know, Phil or at least you ought to know that your wife is not worthy of you. You are a brave man and the only thing for you to do now Is to got a divorce from 3hoila. Notwithstanding wo have given her plenty of cause, she eeems determined not to take any recog nition of it. It is your move Phil. I wonder why she does not want a divorce! "I interrupted her right thore, Kay, by saving: 'I shall never get. a divorce from Sheila. I will not drag her name through the divorce courts. I will not have that old case brought up against her again.

'' 'Sheila has not lived with me for months, Susanne,' I answered 'Not since we began our plan of giving her cause for divorce,', I con fessed. 'I kow she does not love me any moro- if she ever loved me but since the last few hours I do not understand just whom she does love. I am more and. more inclined to believe that she does not love your brother Sue. It seems more like ly to mo that sho has fallen in, love with Boper the dogl I am going to find out.' " "What did you say, Kay!" Phil asked, as he heard me speaking my thoughts, unwittingly, aloudj '( "I was thinking," I answered tartly, "that of all unmitigated idiotic," and I also thought although idiotic," and I also though, although I did not say so, that if, unhappy over the way my brother had' neg lected her for that fiendish woman, Sheila had turned to the? kind and chivalrous Tony Sopor for the love that Phil had taken away from her and apparently bestowed on some one else, I, for one, would not blame .

I came out of my di;urbing thoughts to hear Phil saying sor rowfully. "Perhaps I am an; idiot. Perhaps you are right, Kay.'J And I don't expect you to understand me now when I say that I never -ceased to love Sheila even when I' sin ned against her most. Indeed, it was because I loved hor, and still love her, that I made such a conspicuous fool of myaolf with Sue. . "I tried to make myself think that it was to give her a chance to sep arate from me that I did this, but I know now that I did not want a separation at all. I only wanted to make her suffer as she has made me suffer." . nonsense, rnui Mnella never made you suffer. It was that lying woman, ausaune Jones, who poison ed your mind and made you almost insane with jealousy in ordef to compass her own end." ''Perhaps, Kay," agreed Phil and then over his face came the master ful look of indomitable determina tion that was the real Phil I knew of old. His face was hardened. The cords in his neck swelled and tens ed. He closed his powerful hands in a grip that boded 111 for some one. Phil was essentially a man ot action and power.
