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

simply gone mad.

I HAVE uncles, I lmvc oousins, I have nieces by the score, nnd

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

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.

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.

How to Carry the Baby
"WASHINGTON, D. 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

tho easterner is renowned," says a

"Besides this, her method has

"Tho boys only .nro carried in this
fashion, the little girls never being

glory of Israel he says, 'Thy daugh

To the Editor: It seenia to the

of the political results achieved by the

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

tant event of the whole primary was a
