Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Psrry.
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.'

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. '.

PETER ANSWERS MAGGIE

St. Peter stood at the open gate,
AA'hlle Maggie her atory did relate.
He looked at Jiggs so calm and meek
With tears standing out on his scarred
up cheek.
He was wiping the sweat from off his
pate, ,
For he thought that Maggie had settled
his fate.
Said he, your life has been filled with
strife,
So you deserve a better life.
I know you have paid for all yourslu,
So you axe entitled to come In,
Where Maggie's pleasure you will not
mar.
So walk through the gate that stands

Ho turned to Maggie who stood with
bowed Jicad,
Ho looked her over and then he said:
I see, dear lady, by tho looks of your
face,
That you belong in the other place.

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

QUEERED.
LON'd years ago, (I. 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.
