Midsummer Night's Dream
Conio, sit thee down upon tliia flowery bed
While I thy amiable checks do coy,
And stick musk-roues in thy sleek, smooth head, '
And kiss thy fair large ears, my gentle joy.
Not since Nick Bottom the
self a jack-ass has there been anything so perfect as the
performance of the Portland Oregonian in its Volsteailian
crusade. Not even the wet Oregon senator who votes dry
gives such a finished presentation as the dry paper with the
wet editors.
Bottom, it will be remembered, cast for the part of
Pyramus, promised tears: "Let the audience look to its
eyes: I will move stones," and what stones could resist the
Orogonian's pathetic pleas for one half of one percent? Not
even the governor could wring more tears in a holy cause.
Bottom was not only to weep real tears, but play the lion,
too. "I will roar, that I will do any man's heart good to hear
me; I will roar, that I will make the Duke say 'Let him roar
again, let him roar again!'" And what a roar the Oregon
ian emits over suggestion of amendment or proposal of
referendum for the sacred dry act. Even the Anti-Saloon
League, in the part of the Duke, bids it roar and roar again.
But lest he scare the ladies, Bottom promised to temper
his roaring: "I will aggravate my voice so that I will roar
you as gently as any sucking dove ; I will roar you as t'were
any rhthtingale." So with the Oregonian. It tempers its
" roaring "as a sucking dove" whenever the portals of the
"castles" of wealthy friends are raided on suspicion.
Bottom in addition to weeping and roaring, and playing
the hero,' would "hide his face, speak in a monstrous little
voice" and play the heroine loo. And so the versatile Oregon
ian .also hides its face and in a monstrous little voice, to res
cue Dame Democracy from disaster, takes Al Smith to task
for the crime of making good. Only Tilly from Tillamook is
its equal in rescue and uplift work.
All of which must convince the most sceptical that in the
once moist but now arid Oregonian, the Volsteadians have an
advocate with large and furry ears, whose sobs and roars
blend in a mellifluous bray.
Economy's Hard Row
Governor Hartley of Washington, in his legislative mes
sage recommended sweeping changes in slale institutions to
inaugurate an era of economy. Thereby he lias aroused wide
spread criticism and a flood of reprisal bills have already
"been introduced to punish him and prevent the enactment of
his recommmendntions.
Every move to effect economy in state or national affairs,
meets opposition. The simplest consolidation measure is
bitterly fought by affected bureaus, jealous of their powers
and enamoured of their payrolls. Largo lobbies are hastily
assembled and the legislature and press flooded with politics
and propaganda. The legislators usually follow the lines of
least resistence and reform unless it is of the uplift variety,
requiring an expansion of officialdom, goes by the board.'
Governor Hartley is most bitterly assailed because of his
attack upon the public school and higher educational systems,
highway construction and reclamation, the sacred cows of
politics, and declared a reactionary. Yet he has put his
finger on the sources of the principal beneficiaries of taxa
tion and if economy is to be effected, these activities must
be curtailed.
One Hartley recommendation, that of a common board
of regents for all higher educational institutions, could be
adopted with profit by Oregon, and thus avoid expensive
duplications, rivalries and competitions and so materially re
duce costs. But any effort for such business-like and effi
cient management meets the combined opposition of each
institution and its extensive following.
It is almost as hopeless a job to reduce taxation as it is to
purify politics.

Again, ns on the evening of his
first visit, Herbert Lindsay dined
with Marie, letting his little datal
ler's trained nurse eat with the
housekeeper. The table rns laid
by tho living room fire, and Lind
say inflated on going down to the
wino collar ami bringing up some
champagne, all of which ho had
to drink, a Mario refused It. The
table removed, he sat down on a
wldo couch nnd sat fur a few mo
ments, sstaring Into tho fire. A
clock chimed ten, melodiously. Out
side a high wind whistled ana
shrieked about tho house.
Sifltenly ho rose nnd came over
' to tho high backed chair in which
Marie sat.
"I'vo been thinking about you,"
he began, abruptly. "You're not
married, are you? Well, you know
how things aio In my home; my
wifu doesn't care any more- for me
than sho doe for tho butler; gooii

my money nnd what social posi

my wifn talked to you about en

And when tho youngstor was
sick and I saw you sitting there
by her bed, holding her hand, hour
after hour, Marie, I could no more
help falling In love with you, than
I could help breathing. Let me

"I'leiise! Oh Marie, I love you;

I'ranlii'ally Marie wremhed her-

fiom the struggle, sho faced hlml
with her chair between them.
"I can't marry you!" she cried.
"How da to you say this to me. :

She stopped, realizing that she I
tiuifU not go on. In the turmoil
of the moment she had forgotten
that Billy no longer belonged to
her; she had been on tho verge of
tcMIng him that she was Billy's
wife. Hut she could not say that.
She did not belong to Billy nor to
anyone. There was no man win

.She must face the world alone.

was an effort even to, move.

She faced him wearily. j
"No!" she exclaimed, nnd there
way a note of finality in her voice,
that made it impossible for him
to. plead further with her. Ho
released her hand, and she crossed
the room and smarted up the stairs.
There, was a faint rustling of
skirts In tho hall above, a faint
sound of rapid footsteps, and of a
door closing. Marie heard but her
thoughts crowded out all realiza
tion of what those sounds might
mean. She had never been so
humiliated, so ashamed. I

Chemawa, Ore., Nov. 12. The
Chemawa Indians scored a 20 to 0
shutout over the St. John's Bach
elors In the Armistice day foot
ball game on the Portland grlid
iron. The Indians outweighed, and
with the exception of the second
quarter, outplayed the Bachelors.
Twice Just before the end of the
half the bachelors worked the hall
to scoring distance, only to lose it.
The first time thoy lost the ball
on downs on the ono foot line
and the second time they lost it on
an attempted forward pass from
tho two-yard line.
Tho Indiana mixed straight foot
ball with a varied passing at
tack with good results. Excellent
interference aided the Redskins.
The Bachelor club has ono of the
most powerful teams of its class,
in or near Portland.
Declaring on his deathbed, 'I
am ready to meet the Great Com

Chicago, Nov. 12. The North

Methodists. The vote has been tin

by the constitutional majority

The Southern Methodists are

Gtlll in doubt.
Dr R. J. Wade, secretary ol the
ijcneral conference 01 the North
ern Methodist Episcopal church
who made the announcement, said
that although the constitutional
majority had been passed on the
vote of 10(i conterenues, 4l con
te.rcnccs of his church had not yet
officially reported their votes.
The statement in part follows:
' If thare should bo a two-thirds
majority in the Methodist Epis
copal church, Soutu, for unifica
tion, then the Methodist Episcopal
church would call a special gen
eral conference to meet with the
senorul confereuco of the Method
ist Kpisconal church, South, which
meets in its regular session in May
,92G.
"The Methodist Episcopal
church, according to the official
vote, has definitely decided for
unification, and it is assumed that
the majority of votes will continue
;o ho very large. Should a two
thii ds majority be secured by tle ,
Methodist Episcopal church, Soudii
and that is more probable at the!
present time than for some months)

Official tabulations of the south

S78 voUs short of a constitutional
majority on the veto to date.

. At tho clone of tho first month's
active output of linen twine, the
Miles Linen company, operating
Salem's first linen mill, has sold
some 1000 pounds of twine, It
wait reported yesterday by B. C.
Miles, president of the company.
Several hundred pounds more of
tho product aro on hand now and
ready for shipment, Mr. Miles says.
The twine put out by tho local
company Is priced at exactly the
same figure as the twine Imported
from Ireland and elsewhere, al
though, due to the fact that Im
ported twine is subject to a heavy
duty and substantial transporta
tion charges, twine manufactured
hero could be sold cheaper than
any competing output.
