At this time, wjien a dozen or more candidates for office are asking the voters of Washington coun ty to nominate them, it might be well to see who of the applicants measure up tc the standard set by the author of the following impassioned lines: God, Give us men ! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands! Men whom the lust of office does not k ill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who love honor— men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And brave his treacherous flatterings without wink ing! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large profession, and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land, and waiting justice sleeps.

We have about ninety pairs of Men’s Oxfords that have been selling at from $3.50 to $5.00; take any pair of them while they last at JESSO, JE S S O ! The News-Times, a republican newspaser at Forest Grove, isn’t particular as to candidates, just so he wears a Republican collar. It says editorially: “ If Hughes will not run and the party will not unite on Colonel Roosevelt, then we are for Cummins.” This same kind of talk has caused Republicans in Oregon to turn over the governorship and senatorship to Democrats. The | process of selection has been for gotten by Oregon Republicans. The “ bunch” has done the select ing, aided by a few country news papers in boosting the “ picked” candidates and a trouncing at the polls has been the result.— M c Minnville News-Reporter.
