When he finally uot hv Iho door of the holv of holies, he found nil the chairs occupied bv Ih bilf five and he hnd to prcsonl Greece's claims stanlinLr.

"'e are sniiirised that (iuvernor Oh-ott, who litis lived in Marion eounty so many listened to Senator La Follette s declamations, should have profited so little by thein. "Jlew to tne line, let tlie If tin; governor had adopted that old fashioned slogan at the beginning of bin term and stuck to it, he would not be in the rather pathetic position he now occupies. In stead "f hewing to the line where thev mav the governor and trying to keep the chips As a result the special session promises to be nothing short of a political bull fight, harrassed and inollensive hull, ing around tlx; ring, as a bunch of rough-neck peccadors. matadors, and general mischief makers. - AVe warned the governor several months ago when we we urged him to call a special session. ".Make the women think you are afraid of tliein and make the men think fun aren't," was our advice, and subsequent events have shown it to be sound, instead of that the governor hurt the vanity of the women, and stimulated the fighting in stinct of th(! men, without gaining the respect of either. Consequently there is a rough time ahead and it is com ing from all sides. Vfe have a great deal of sympathy for Governor 01 cott, just as we had for Governor Withycombe. We don't know the reason but there is something particularly vi cious about Oregon politics. The citizen who sits in the governor's room at the state capitol has his work out out for him, it is a life sized job, and he deserves assistance rather than criticism. But he must observe certain funda mental rules of the game. Once, on record against a special session for example, (ho governor should have held the fort on that line and let the opposition howl. II' there was no reason for it when the governor refused, there was no reason when he complied. So wilh the fish and game commission, etc. Nothing is so fatal as indecision and apparent weakness. Governor Olcott would have been in a much stronger position "now if he had taken one side or the other in thai controversy and stuck to it even if experience had shown ifc to be lite wrong side. a lefider who sticks to his convictions even when they are mistaken, to one who merely ular and has no convictions at all. a The only chance for Governor Oleoit now is to take th offensive himself instead of where it is going to slriUe. Aotlung latal has happened. The people as a whole, though disappointed, are stili kindlv disposed. Lead the fight, to the legislature instead of waiting for the legislature the idea now. In short, go back to Senator La Follette's dictum he fore it, is too late, "J low to the line, let the chips fall where they may." . ' Well to TlIIOliK is of course grave J- sheviki terror to go extremes, not dangerous for for this country. It should i zar s mo! hod was exile to deport radicals who are frankly and clearly devoted to this country s dosl ruction is who merely believe there is room for improvt'inont, and favor changes by peaceful means, is to sow seeds of a re action which might, well hasten the very condition th d"portation methodsave designed to prevent. cd on for advice at anv stuL'e of the conference.

SATURDAY. .TAyUARY " Al PAGE THEATER TUESDAY The host of followers and admirers of the charming comedienne. May Robson will receive the announce ment of her coming appearance in 'his city in her new comedy "Tish" with much gratification. There is. perhaps, no woman of the American stage of today more firmly establish ed In the affections of playgoers than this admirable actress. Tish" Is a dramatization ct the Letitia Carberry stories, recently ap pearing In the Saturday Evening Post, tho adaptation for the stage being made by Edward K. Hose, adapter of "Cappy Hicks" and "Pen- rod," two of the present season s reatest metropolitan successes. It has been the general opinion for a great many theatrical seasons that May Hobson towered over any plsy that she appeared in; this is admit tedly a fact among playgoers; how ever, there has( never been a play more aptly suited to tho unique charm of this comedienne than "Tish." An exceptionally capable cast r.f players surrounds Miss Hobson in "Tish"; the producers. Augustus Pi- tou. Inc., has given the production everything that could possibly be de sired by way of scenic embellishment, and the details of the production are said to be perfect. Miss Hobson will come to the Page theatre Tuesday night, Jan. 6th. Get the papers to build fires. JOc ort bundle, this office. AVOID FLU!
