The statement of a medical aharp that a conatant ..potato diet leada to kliocy, remlnda us that Kernel Boyd takea In more apuda than anything else on subscription. We can fancy La Grande and Baker saying that Pendleton ought to go out nest after a brush factory, aa aha would have to kwk no farther than home for thebriatlea. . The expected claah has occurred be tween United States and Mexican treope, and presumably our little Mar tian sideshow will soon be on In full swing. , At least we can amuse ouraelree by watching Pendleton's careful efforts to conduct her campaign without refer ring to the fact that a $75,000 state school plant is , still in existence at Weston. - Wily ok! Carransa is beginning to see the point of Unole Sam's bayonet. Now 'a the time when all good men and true are trying to dodge the Initia tire canvasser. By killing forty United States sol diers in a preliminary skirmish, the Carransistas serve notice that cam paigning in Mexico will not precisely resemble a summer picnic. The penalties of fame are such that an eminent yet modest local journalist who sought to visit Portland incognito was given much distressing publicity by metropolitan newspapers. The Ore gonian featured him under a double head, thus wounding his tender sensi bilities, and the Saturday Ev'g Alibi printed the subjoined interview: "Kernel Clark Wood. ed. of our est He ssys Kernel Boyd, ol bis est. eon temD.. the Athena Press, is the same okl antediluvian lmneciie, nut we oe- lieve in being fair, and when Kernel Bovd comes to town we will print what he says about Kernel Wood. . The Alibi is about as accurate as a mining shark's prospectus. We prefer not to be quoted st all, but when such a fate Is unavoidable we want to be quoted correctly. We referred to Boyd as a truculent troglodyte, and see bow this apt description is garbled! While sensible of certain tiympath- etic efforts to sugar coat the pill, Wes ton cannot forget that Pendleton is holding its nose. When about to start for an urban ball game needless delsy msy be avoided by seeking a corner where the ear tracks are discernible. In other words, street ears do not run on track less thoroughfares. Our sporting ed itor savs that if he Is the first man to discover and demonstrate this import ant physical principle, he wants the credit of it. Whv the "Covote cut-off?" You see no eovote: vou see none bi-eected. If this misnomer be an attempt on the oart of a soulless corporation to deceive and disappoint the traveling public it's about time to expose said s. e, to the pitiless glare of publicity. True to our great mission as a news paper we are glad to announce the nomination of Wilson and Marshall on our first page. The chances are that the Athena Press will come trailing along with the intelligence a week later. "How lonsr should a rirl of 18 wear her skirts?" asks the Philadelphia Ev ening Ledger. Instinctively, we would say until she takes 'em off at night Pendleton's proposition to validate other state schools except the one at Weston-is the cutest little dingus in Its bag of campaign tricks. Every half mile along the Columbia, or perhaps occasionally and to be con servative every five-eighths of a mile. one sees a beer keg bobbing along. Looking up the length of. the river one can readilv estimate that there are enough empty beer kegs to make a ro dent subwsy reaching from Kamschat- ka to Kalamazoo by way ol Kurdistan. But are they empty? Here's a mys tery, shocking, sinister. Is somebody dumping full beer kegs into the Colum bia st Lewis ton In order that they may be emptied by watchfully waiting Port land consumers? Is the Columbia ex ceeding its rights as sn uncommon car rier by transporting lager for Its sport ive swells? We recommend the ap pointment of a state board, one that can swim, to look into this proposition -or at least into the beer kegs. All that Pendleton wants is all that she can get, which modern moving principle is by no means confined to that acquisitive burg. From the way in which it keeps bob bing up every campaign, Old Man Ore gon will begin to think before long that It's an abnormal school.
