THURSDAY, JANUARY
21 , 1908 .
When a candidate for the legis­
lature seeks the nomination ot a
political party, there is certainly
nothing unreasonable in asking
him to support the candidate of
that party for Senator. I f he is
not a party man why should he
not make the race as an independ­
ent and.declipeto ask favors of
party men?
George E. Chamberlain, the
present democratic Governor ol
Oregon, was elected to the office
o f United States senator bv the
Oregon Legislature dh last Mon­
day. In the Senate he received
19 votes and in the House 34.
All the Statement No. 1 mem­
bers and tw o other republicans
voted lor him.
I t is really pathetic to note the
interest the Portland Journal
and other democratic papers
have been manifesting lately in
the future o f the republican party
in Oregon. Jackson o f the Jour­
nal has probably shed not less
than a barrel o f tears in the past
month, as he has wept over pros­
pective defeats for the G. O. P.
in the years to come.
In the last state campaign a
number o f republican candidates
tor the legislature rode into office
by signing Statement No. 1, but
this was the first shovel ot dirt
in the digging o f their political
grave). The last blubbering ob­
sequies were performed Monday,
0 when they endeavored to pull
themselves from the mire by ex­
planations, before casting their
votes for a democrat.

The one hundredth anniversary
o f the birth o f an unusual num­
ber o f men o f national reputa­
tion occurs during the ye a r1909.
Note the following: Abraham
Lincoln, February 12; Oliver
Wendall Holmes, August 28; Ed­
ga r Allen Poe, January 19; Alfred
Tennyson. August 6; Edward
Fitzgerald, March 31; William E.
Gladstone, December 29; Charles
R. Darwin, February 12; Fran­
cois F. Chopin, March 1; and
Felix Mendelssohn, February 8.
In politics as well as in every­
thing else it pays in the long run
to remain true to ones convictions
o f right, although it may for the
time invite defeat. Men ot the
type o f Prof. F. K . Jones, of Ne w-
berg, who refused to take the
Statement One dose because they
did not care to tie themselves up
to vote for a man for United
States senator who belongs to
an opposite political party, al­
though defeated in the election,
have today a much better stand
ing before the general public than
the men who showed that they
were willing to trade principle
for votes.
A "p u rity" league of Spokane
girls will be formed in the near
future, the purpose o f which isfor
its members to retrain from asso­
ciating with young men who
smoke, swear, or drink. That
may sound all right; but those
who join the organization will be­
come old maids, if they stand by
their pledges. I t will be an utter
impossibility for the average
young man to be as good and
pure as all that—Salem States­
man.
Judging from the records o f di­
vorce courts throughout the
country, becoming "old maids"
would have been far more prefer­
able for numerous girls who have
tied up to "average young men.1
C. E. Newhouse who was re­
cently appointed fruit inspector
for Yamhill county, was in town
a few days ago feeling the pulse
o f the people regarding their at­
titude in the matter ot making a
vigorous w ar all along the line
against fruit pests. In the past
the Graphic has encouraged the
people to co-operate with the
officials in a heroic effort to put
the orchards free from insects
and we assure Mr. Newhouse
that he will have our heartiest
support along this line. The
man who has fruit trees, few or
many, must make the fight
against pests or quit the business.
This is all there is to it and the
sooner the people reach this con
elusion the better it w ill be for
the fruit interests of Oregon.
The mother of the vice presi­
dent o f the Globe Printing Com­
pany o f St. Lonisdied a few days
ago and at the head of the edito­
rial columns in the Globe Demo­
crat appeared this beautiful trib­
ute to her memory:
The Persians have a w ay of
saying on the birth o f a child:
"O little one, yon come into the
world with cries while all around
are smiling. So live that «you
may g o ont with smiles while al
aronnd are crying. ” Compressed
within this simple prayer are all
the things that make life worth
living, all the things that rob
death o f its terrors. T o go out
with smiles, in the happy con­
sciousness of a life well spent and
with an unfaltering trust in the
beneficence o f the unknown be­
yond! It was thus with Mrs
Matilda J. McKee, who passed
across the invisible boundary
yesterday morning, after 80 years
filled with good deeds. There is
grief to-day in the hearts o f her
children and of the innumerable
ones who called her friend, but
their sorrow must inevitably be
soothed by the contemplation o f
what she has done and the cer
tainty o f her reward. A gooc
wife, a good mother, a gooc
woman—God has created noth­
ing greater.

Misplaced Shot
Polk Miller ot Richmond blew
into the editorial office o f the ad­
vertiser’s Almanac ot New York
like a fresh breeze from the South
a few days ago, and was prompt­
ly asked, o f course, tor the latest
darky story in Virginia. He said
it was about substituting a wild
turkey tor a tame turkey. One of
his friends bought a turkey from
old Uncle Ephraim aqd asked him,
in making the purchase, if it was
a tame turkev.
"Oh.yais, sir; it’s atam etu’key
ol right.”
"N ow , Ephraim, are you sure
it’s a tame turkey?”
✓
.. "Oh, vais, sir; dere’s no so’t o ’
doubt ^bout dat. I t ’s a tame
tu’key ol right.” ,
He consequently bought the
turkey and a day or tw o later,
when eating it, ne came across
several shot. Later on, when he
met old Ephraim on the street, he
said: "W ell Ephraim you told me
that was a tame turkey, but I
found some shot in it when I was
eating it.”
"Oh, dat w ar a tame tu’key ol
right” was Uncle Ephraim’s reit­
erated rejoinder; "but de fac’ is
boss, I ’se gwine to tell ver in con­
fidence dat dem ere shot was in­
tended for me.” —Cleveland Lead-
er.
