The state now enters the murder and mayhem stage of the primary joke, and candidates are appealing to their supporters, while losing their suspen ders. Ink flows freely, and hysterical fit-throwing is the order of the day. Capitalisation of religious bigotry gets more Totes than reducing taxes, and candidates are acting accordingly. Millions of haystacks of straw votes will be turned loose. Bass-voiced poli ticians ara yelling In high soprano notes, to win the lady rote, and the 11th. hour canard is sprouting in the alleys. The human race don't act it and ha!f-baked Holshevikl cavort. Ef forts to, drive the sacred oxen of politics out in the oien fail, and the seeker after the office of fish propaga tion Is a Scotch Presbyterian, gol darn him! The agony of the battlefields of France are revived, and the leading Portland papers run heavy editorials on the "Uses of Useless Information." The un is contemplating suspension of shining, and the axis of the earth Is out ot axle grease. - There are more .liars than fruit pests, and butterfat dropped 2 cents on the Frisco markets. , 100 years from now they won't men lion the hubbub In history, and the Near East relief committee has been urged to succor the Close AVest. The Rosa City had an earthquake. No reason assigned except that somebody accidentally told the truth. Glorified reformers are so full of pre-election virtue, they look like a withered dill pickle, and the silent vote is all out to a still. The governor stands up on bis hindlegs and puts B.V.D.'s on the KKK. and the Imperial Koko Kola Invokes the Grand Cyclone to slap the Invisible Kibosh on him. Cabbage leaves masquerading as cigars dangle from , the vocal opening of hardy voters, and the Republican party has started to rip in a vital spot. Sherman was right. Barnum was correct The Issue is confused, but not the rank and ' file, and the hell of it is, the spasm will be continued in November.' TKUT1I crushed to earth shall rise again. . J The eternal; yours of (!ih1 are Iters; '' , ' . Hut Krror wotniiletl, Avrithos with pain, Ami dies tunonj,' his worshippers. Now (hat's eonsolinsr. For there has been more crushing of truth, more plain ami fanoy lioing in tnis present campaign than ever lo iore in the history of (.'liristcmloin. Some day the truth will come otft. Then we shall see, what we shall see, and it will undoubtedly restore sonic people's warning faith in the essential honesty of humanity. 1 ' Hut at Ihe prcseut moment the outlook is disheartening. Is Gov ernor Olcott a liar for example! The Oraml Uoblin of Oregon's In visible Kmpire says ho is, and ho is backed by the, chief lecturing luiight. ' Governor Olcott declared there is an attempt by a secret society under tho guise of the Ku Klux Klan, to secure control of the state government. This statement is supported by every newspaper in Portland, for they have printed the l. K. K. tickets, and it has becu announced that Grand Klcagles have been conducting Hall's cam paign. : , , . Hut the K. K. K. officials declare it all malicious falsehood. Who, might Ave ask, is4telling the truth? Not so very long ago it was openly stated in Mod ford by an tfficial of the Kkiu that the Harding administration is behind the K. K. K. Through his secretary, Mr. Christian, President Harding not only deuied this, but stated he is opposed to the Ku Klux and hud fre quently so stated. "Who, might we ask, is telling the truth t Repeatedly it has been stated officially that this secret order has had no connection Avith certain outrages, here ami elsewhere, and vet in Los Angeles a coroner's jury declared there was a direct con- ! nection, and tAo members of the Klan, swore on oath, the Inglewood outrage Avas planned at a meeting of Klansmen. Once more, Avho is telling the truth? So one might go oa indefi nitely all down the line, and the average citizen is wondering v.hether he is living in the Twentieth Century or iu the dark ages of Ananias. f But on the most excellent authority we have the assurance that ultimately the truth, and nothing but the truth Avill prevail. That Avill be a great day for one side of this question.. It will be a dark day for the other. '.

GOVERNMENT LOSES CASE (Continued from page one) Wu RipplingRhi)iaQs fy Walt Maton, We maintain that it is an outrage. in voting for a man for any position, whether state or national, to take Into account his religion faith, providing only he Is a good American. When a secret society does what in some daces the American Protective associ ation seems to have done, and tries to proscribe Catholics both politically and socially, the members of such society show that they themselves are as utterly tin-American, as alien to our school of political thought as the worst immigrants who land on our shores. Their conduct Is equally base, and con temptible; they nro tho worst foes , because tlicy strengthen tho hands of Its ultramontane enemies; they should receive the hearty con demnation of all Americans who are truly patriotic."

CJriiiishaw Grimes was in the county jail; he was accused of swiping dimes and other kinds of-kale. Of course, his spirit was distressed, as yours or mine would be, until the guilty one confessed, and Grinishaw Grimes Avcnt free. Jt was un error of the law that sent him to a cell, where Jie avjis J'cd on bread and slaw and Avater from the well.. And he lyis led a useful life since that dark day of yore, providing nobly for his wife and children twenty-four. And now and then, to serve the state, or prestige gain, mayhap, he comes forth as a candidate for some small public snap. And always at the crucial hour when roorbacks most prevail, up comes the story, dark and dour, that lie was.oiicc in jail. In vain he rises to explaiu his martyrdom of old; the voters listen with disdain, and then they knock him cold. And so lie teeters through the town, a sad and weary scout; there is a spot in his renown, and he can't get it out. He's wash ed the spot with gasolene, he's lathered it Avith soap, but iu cam paigns it's always seen, and he's abandoned hope. This world of ours is most unfair and insolent at times, and none can say it's acted square with poor old Grimshaw Grimes. A blemished record is a frost that makes the world seem stale; so let us all, whate'er the cost, avoid the county jail.
