There Is a shortage of shade In the hsyneids. WHO IS LOONEY NOW? AT LEAST two democratic county committees hive condemned Governor Client t for injecting the religious issue into Oregon politics. In the words of n popular cartoonist: "(.'tin you beat it?" One of two things is true, cither the members of these two com mittees lire deliberately attempting to deceive the people for political purposes, or they are too ignorant of the political situation in Ore gon to be allowed at large, much less to be allowed places of respon sibility, in any politicul organization in this state. ' Tho religious issue was injected into Oregon polities nearly a year ago, by certain self-appointed secret society bosses of Multnomah county. Their plans were carefully laid, First u so-called "Apos tate Nun" was sent throughout the state to stir the people up against the Catholic church. Meetings were held in every county in the atute, and the most lurid picture of the old-fashioned Papist menace was painted. i' , ' ; ; This was followed up by a. whispering campaign, certain trusted emissaries were dispatched to every county in Oregon to "see that the time-honored horrors of Romnnisiu. were. started on their way, and finally just previous to the primary election, at a given signal, every county in the state was flooded with printed pamphlets, charging the Catholic church with every crime committed since the flood. Realizing that Governor Olcott was opposed to tfic contemptible practice of stirring up religious prejudice for political gaiS, and that he was the strongest candidate opposing them, these same self-appointed bosses of snivelling bigotry started to undermine, the gov ernor's support. They again resorted to the house to house and back alley methods. Political heelers whispered the governor was a Catholic, that 75 per cent of his appontces were Catholics, that his sister was a Catho lic Nun and so on ad nauseam. ', This is political history. Everyone at all ou the inside politically, knows it. .. Not until the work had been done, not until the fuse had been lighted for the final explosion, not until the poison had gone home did Governor Olcott speak. Then he came out boldly as any tfuc American in his position should have eojue out, not as a proponent of any church nor as an opponent of any church, but as an impartial champion of all churches, not as an injector of religious issues, but an opponent, not as a champion, of bigotry and intolerance, but as a champion of his state constitution, which he toolc oath as governor to defend, and as a champion of the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees to every citizen the right to worship God according to tho dictates qf his own conscience. And for doing this, for having tho courage to oppose those who did inject the religious issue, those who would sell their soul for a mess of political pottage, ho is condemned by two democratic county committees for injecting the religious issue into Oregon politics! Now in all seriousness, and in all sobriety, and in all sanity, we ask you, and you, and you, CAN YOU BEAT IT! Of course, it is quite possible to understand how anyone who fa vors injecting religion into polities, A. P. A., or who wants to burn a Cathplic in oil every morning before breakfast, should 'be opposed to Olcott, but how anyone who detests this religious political horseplay, ness, can oppose the governor, is wo believe auyono else. politics are silly at best. But realm of foolishness to the realm simply gone mad. ANOTHER BOOST FOR Tho Medford Mail Tribune issued a splendid "Prosperity Week" edition a few days ago.

I HAVE uncles, I lmvc oousins, I have nieces by the score, nnd in couples and in .dozens they come giulding to my door; just to visit for a season, just to make themselves at home; and you here behold the reason for. the furrows on "my dome. Yet with KHiuly smiles I greet them, as they come in ranks and rows, when I'd really like to beat them with n length of garden hose. For they bore me with their chatter, and they talk, in voices strong, of tho things that do not matter, of the things that don't belong. If there is a theme or topic that's a weariness to me, they'll dis cuss it, loud and yawpie, till 1 wring my hands and flee. But I lack the nerve to fan them when they" journey to my gate; with a cordial smile I scan them, crying "Welcome" to each skate. Oh, I like to have my, nieces come and drink a dish of tea, but they shouldn't bring valises and big wardrobe trunks to me. I can stand n decent number and my welcome will not fail, if they cat nnd drink and slumber nnd depart before they're' stale.

C "Tho mod ern 'joy-riding' family that hangs the baby In a small hammock in the back ot the automVhilo where he swings with the breezes and the mo tion of the car. Is no more ingenious than the woman of tho Holy Land who, ns soon as her baby is able to sit alono places hira astride her shoulder, for she thus teaches the youngster to ride horseback and gives him that fearless and immo vable seat in his saddlo for which tho easterner is renowned," says a bulletin from the Washington, B. C, headquarters ot tho 'National Geo graphic society. "Besides this, her method has ninny other advantages it strength ens tho baby's back and legs, for he must lerirn the proper grip In order to maintain his balance as his mother goes unconcernedly about her work, it leaves her arms free, strengthens and Improves her figure, expands her chest, and gives her that grace and ease which characterize the move ments of eastern women. Truing for Horsemanship. "Soon he loosens his hands from her hair which at first he clutches frantically, having learned that trick of holding on with his knees, which later enables a Kedouin, after a day's hunting, to produce from beneath his knee a coin which he placed there in tho morning for safe-keeping . for tho day. "Tho boys only .nro carried in this fashion, the little girls never being thus dignified. This is probably the idea tho Prophet Isaiah had in mind when in describing tho forthcoming glory of Israel he says, 'Thy daugh ters on their shoulders shall be car ried. "Though the sculpture , of ancient Egypt and Assyria shows that this method of carrying children has been a custom for nt least 4000 years, many Eastern women carry their children in a scarf slung hammock wise pver their backs, especially in their early infancy. Others placo tho babies astride their hips, as is dono tho world ovor. Sits on Mother's Head. "Many of tho Arab women, when they fill their great earthenware jars at the fountains have babies or small children suspended In sheets from their hacks, the little fellows' legs stretched about their mothers and their little heads peeping out at the curious world, "When tho jar has been filled. It takes the place of tho baby on the woman's bark and the youngster mounts his mother's shoul der or her head, from which emi nence he may gaze out over the plain In envy or a father who. Is galloping across the sands to exercise his horso and amuse himself with rifle prac tice. "Among tho tailed people of Ni geria n mother carries her new born baby around In a calabash shell which resembles a gourd. Though the fathers of the tribe ar(o said to bb fond of their children, they are novor guilty of carrying them. "The Kakoro women may bo snld to 'wear' their children- attached somewhere about their bodies. When the baby is very young tho mother puts him on her back and holds him on, but he soon learns to hang on without any assistance. If she is going any great distance, however, she usually lends him a little sup port by tying On end of a sail-shaped carrier mado of leather to her neck nnd the other around" her waist. He can thus stick his legs nut on each side of her body nnd rest comfort ably in the sling. Indians' Portable Cradle. "Everyone knows what tho Ameri can Indian baby(s portable cradle looked like. Tho Indian father usu ally made his newbaby n wooden framework basket which his grand mother covered and ornamented with designs done in heflds or quills. Hut the infant practically never stayed in his cradle when he was not on a Journey of some sort. At home he developed tho muscles of his arms and legs by rolling around on n bed or tho grass, 1 "The Tera women In the Interior of Africa carry their children slung In their wnUtcloths behind them and cover their little heads with cala bash shells In order to protect them from the sun. For a year after the Ftayaka babies are born they are not washed and the fathers must nlso abstain from , nbiutitfns during hai period. - Swings From House Knof.

When tho mother is going on a journey (sho hangs the bag from her head suspended In front of her and with her teeth holds a mat over the infant to keep him from the sun and wind. She must tio a long streamer or vino to her skirt which trails along after her during her journey, for If the child's spirit should wander from its body, there must be some convenient way of its crawling back from tho ground. "But the littlo Eskimo baby has the real 'cinch,' when it comes to having a soft place to rldo nnd to sleep In. Its mother makes for him a bng of haby-relndeer skin and lines it with fur, and then stuffs him, feet first, Into the hood at the back of her fur garments. From its depths his beady black eyes peer out from over hershoutder. ' When ho gets too heavy she dumps him out of her hood into n snowdrift nnd he chuck les nnd 'goos' as he grabs handfuls of snow; when he whimpers she can very easily dump him out of tho hood head foremost to feed him or sho can gently shrug him to sleep."

Victory Judgeship Race To the Editor: It seenia to the writer, and others, thut tho editor of the Jlall Tribune could woll have been a little more generous In his estimate of the political results achieved by the Ku Klux Klan In the lato primaries, in Pennine his recent editorial entitled "A Great Invisible Victory.'; The ma jority of the successful candidates for legislative nominations in .Multnomah county, as well as a number of others elsewhere in the state, were openly en dorsed by the organization; nor was the Klan wholly unsuccessful In its support of candidates in our own local ity, since by no means the least impor tant event of the whole primary was a sweeping victory for the candidate who placed himself in such a position before the public that the Klan was justified in giving him its support against nn opimnont whose outspoken expression ,of hostility to the Klan afforded the successful candidate anil 192 opportunity for making his strongest campaign argument. I refer, of course to the contest between Mr. Gus New- bury and Mr. C. M. Thomas for the republican nomination for tne cnsirm Judgshlp, in which Mr. Thomas pluceu himself on record, In a careiuiiy iou sldered statement, supported by the .iitnnnnnaiif imhlished endorsement of a group of citizens voicing approval ot his views, aB being neutral and with out any opinion on the disturbances which have attracted so much atten tion of late In this and otner communi ties in the state ad elsewhere. Surely it Is a not unimportant achievement for. the Klan to have so overwhelming ly rebuked one of their most deter minl eritles and to have placed, or substantially helped to place, upon tho republican ticket a candidate ior u limmrlxnl nn office OS that of district judge, publicly pledged to go upon the bench, if elected, without projumuo against them, a position which he has since maintained with conspicuous consistence, under circumstances which might well have tempted a less steadfast man to give way. And having taken so much of a part in tlie.nomlnatlon of Mr. Thomas, can it ho rtonhteti'ihat the members of the Klan will continue to give him their loyal support during the campaign and at the polls, especially in view oi t" fact that his democratic opponent. Mr. Kelly, has unequivocally expressed an adverse opinion and determined oppo sition to their organization?
