npllB OREGONTAN has boon bit for in its donnnoiution
of Bryan as a spoilsman, boeauso ho has followed tho
limo-lionorcd custom of replacing republicans in tho con
sular service with democrats, positions regarded as logit
imato political spoils.
Nothing but praise, however, is forthcoming from tho
Orcgoninn for the state senate, which stoa'm-rollered
through n bill making evorv state office political spoils.
Nothing bnt commendation is hoard for tho governor, who,
although bnt a few weeks in office, is discounting all pre
vious records as a spoilsman.
.Before his election. Dr. SVithyoombe pledged himself
to the state grange specifically, and to the public generally,
that never would he, as governor, permit the use of the
emergency clause to defeat the referendum. Yt he violated
this pledge and signed the spoils bill, to which the emorg
ncy clause was attached, simply to deny the right of the
people to pass upon the measure.
For many years the legislature has been curtailing the
power of the governor. Why? Because he happened to bo
a democrat. Now the policy is reversed, and tho governor
given unlimited power. Why? Because he is a republican.
Lt is simply a case of politics the welfare of the state is
not considered in the least.
No Oregon governor before over had such unlimited

PULP WOOD RATES
WASHINGTON, March r. Itelief
was denied today by the interstate
commerce commir-ston to shippers and
consumers of pulp wood, who com
plained npain-l present joint through
rates published by Canadian railroads
and concurred in by roads in the
United States. The commission
points out that sineo the United
States lines merely concurred in the
rates, it could do nothing except to
order them to desist from such con
currence, leaving the old combination
rates to And Xrom border points in
effect. The commission says the
rates were found reasonable by the
Canadian board of railway cominis
sioners.
sity and agricultural college. Politics undoubtedly ham
pcrs efficiency, and invariably political spoils spel'sooner
or later, graft, shoddy public work and higher taxation.
If the idea is to have the governor the business man
ager of the state, he should have the right to annoint and
remove the various department heads, but. he should bo
assisted by the board of control, as the business manager
of a business is assisted by the board of directors. Civil
ervice should govern the minor employes to prevent de
moralization of public service. Efficiency rather than pol
itics should govern these.
The idea of the state senate, however, and the resultant
spoils bill has nothing to do with public welfare. It is
simply to provide places at tho pie counter for the profes
sional job seeker and the politically hungry.
At any rate, the spoils bill puts the responsibility for
the state government snuarelv up to the governor. ' The
credit or the blame for the efficiency shown during tho
next four veal's. rests solely upon his shoulders, and the
character of his appointees will determine the character of
his administration. "Will it bo a government for spoils or
for efficiency?

Much as It pains mo to contra
dict a lady (or tho 10,000 ladies
who confess to Miss Lilian Dell that
men do not know how to make love)
I think sho interviewed a lemon
grove instead of a peach orchard,
who is a poor lover it Is a girl who
who is a poor liver It is a girl who
has mado him poor In moro senses
than one.
Men do not know how to mako
love? It is tp laugh! Itldlciilous!
Any married woman In tho world
will testify that her husband knows
how to mako lovo to every other
girl in the world. '
How do I know this? Because
10,001 girls liavo told mo so (I've
got to beat .Miss Hell by one). They
are the girls who say: "Vou'ro Just
like all others." If I'm Just llko all
others the case is proved; men do
know how.
Thero are three stages of a man's
Hfo. Naturally ho is a love maker.
Ho starts at the age of two and
makes lovo perfectly confidingly and
winning!)' up to 14, Uy that tlmo ho
has learned to dodge, but is not yet
experienced enough to mako love to
them all.
From the age or 14 until ho finds
tho right girl ho Is a bad lovemakcr,
because ho wants to keep nil his love
making for ono girl he knows sooner
or later ho will find.
Miss Bell says men don't know
how to mako lovo; they only know
how to get married.
It Is lho man who doesn't know
how to make lovo that gets married;
sonio girl is suro to marry him. Tho
ono who know'B how to mako lovo
marries, ho doesn't got married.
Up to 14 or 15 a man animal loves
all women, and makes lovo to them.
He doesn't even suspect that lt is a
game with a set of fool rules govern
ing It. He loves, and makes lore,
and is loved.
Then he discovers that thero Is an
artificial, idiotic sot of conventions.
Ho finds that tho girls havo made
tho rules, and after making them
want to change them every time he
tries to play them "according to
Hoyle."
Ho wants to mako lovo to ono girl
and about 40 llttlo pin-headed,
finitely, giggling sentimental little
bits of liveliness want him to make
lovo to them.
Tho chances are not ono of them

After he has practiced on tho one
girl, a man learns a wholo lot. He
fore long the gamo gets so delightful
he wants to mako it three or wour
handed. Learn? Why, he doesn't have to
learn anything. Ho knew It all the
time, only Instead of playing ho was
on the side lines.
Just because men don't make love.
Miss Uell concludes that they don't
know how.
Statistics provo this untrue. About
ono in every six couples married In
America seek dlorce, and court
records show that men aro to blame
in more than SO per cent of the cases.
In about 75 per cent tho woman
complains that tho man won her by
his fervid lovemaking and made
lovo so well sho thought it was tho
real thing.
Worse than that, lovemaking Is
llko golf, give a man one lesson and
It becomes his hobby.

mucli fun ho could havo had If hoi Hon. Adv.
We arc face to face with tho vory
unpleasant fact that wo are not a
self-supporting community. I be
llove that Is u fart bc)ond argument.
Now that circumstances glvos us
two most Important problems to
solve. First, "What aro the t utiles
that havo contributed to our present
condition?" Second, "How nro we
to lift ourselves out of thnt condi
tion?" The solution of the first question
is Important only as It enable us
to avoid tho reotltlon of mistakes,
and smoothes tho way for tho work
ing out of the second nnd the
most Important -quostlon.
In nnswer to tho first quostlon, I
think I am lalng my finger mi a
very sore spot In quoting n favorllo
argument that has been used both In
campaign for the sugar factory and
In tho Irrigation movement, viz: "It
will establish land values and belli
to bring back tho conditions of flvo
years ago."
Considering that tho "conditions
of flvo years ago" wero followed
quite logically by tho conditions
that obtain now, do you really think
that another boom would bo a real
benefit to us? Ily "us" I menn to
includo tho majority of tho pcop'o
that roaro up tbo valley's popula
tion, and who depend on what the
valley produces, I do not menn to
Include real estate agents and others
who llvo by their wits.
Don't you think we would bo vast
ly tho gainer, In tho long run, if wo
could forget, for the tlmo being, that
thero aro many amongst us who
want to get "out from under?"
What does tho community gan by
the changing hands of title to land?
It seems to mo that If wo aro to
get anywhero, wo must glvo tbo mopt
Importanco to tbo question, "What
can wo mako this land produro, and
how can wo get tho greatest return
for our product " and forgo, for
awhllo, to be Interested lu the ques
tion, "What can wo soak tho gulli
ble new-comer within our gatoa for
our land?"
Another mlstnko that I think has
been inndo and a serious mistake,
too has been our wholesale denun
ciation of our friend Mr. Mossback
It has been my observation, bIiicq I
havo been hoio in tho valley, that
seems to me that in choosing our
Reed neighbor, who was hero before
us nnd who will still bo here nfter
ninny amongst u havo given up uud
left to act lu tbo capacity of "gout"
for us, that wo havo rather otcr-douo
the thing.
Instead of Insisting that Mr. Moss
back "get-together" with us and no
Capet our point of tlow, would It not
be worth while to make a serlops ef
fort to "get together" with him and
try to see Ills point of view.
To mo, tho recent rniupnlgn for
the sugar factory has brought out a
very significant fart, viz: that our
merchants and bankers ran organize
nnd give enthusiasm nnd hard woik
to a cause moro practical and use-their best (n start something
Ily tutus over his profits to tho slock
bti)er. Then there are utiles func
tions of tho association, such as co
operative breeding nnd thu resultant
rnlnlug of stock standards -which Is
not a ntter of ethics, but of dollars
and cents -and the Introduction ami
trial of new nnd profitable forage
crops, etc.
You havo point til out In )otir edi
torial columns the community waste
lu tho matter of our butter siippl).
Why couldn't our Merchants' nnd
Hanker' association glvo us a little
education on the subject of lo-opern-
tie creameries and cheese factories?
Perhaps If the Tillamook ro-npera-
the clxeso factories can pay their
members several rents more per
pound for their butter-fat than our
fnnneis cnu get thorn ma) be a rea
son that our farmers could apply to
their business. If the towns of the
central valley of California ran bo
prosperous through the ro-oporallve
creameries that dot the country
around them, maybe wo could get a
llttlo prosperity by giving their meth
od a little careful study,
Perhaps u llttlo Investigation, on
tho part of tho business men might
prove trnt many farmer could In
crenso their Income by growing pro
duce for tho canneries that aro al
ready established In tbo valley. If
so, why not get to work and ill um
up a little business for the canneries''
