-
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.

mistaken, to one who merely

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

In short, go back to Senator La Follette's dictum he

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
