The Issue in Oregon From a
Democratic Paper's Standpoint
"W
E BELIEVE," ' declares th
"thut the one Icudlni; and
tion. No one other question approaches taxation in importance in every
home. During the past ten years state taxes have increased 621 per cent,
population has only increused 16 per cent and assessment vuluatiuns only
20 per cent."
In other words taxation is declared the solo Issue. But is it? Issues are
not made by political centrul committees, but are forced by conditions. Taxa
tion is an important problem, hut not fundamental. .Most or the taxation is
of local and not state origin and the great bulk of excess taxation was voted
by tho people upon themselves. For years politicians have pledged lower
taxes nnd officials pledged reduced expenditures, but they keep mounting
ulong with the increased extravagance of paternalism and tho climbing cost
of living.
Important, however, as taxation is,
campaign as of the primuryt is whether
invisible government by tlio Ku Klux
whether wo are to have visible and
the constitution. This Important issue
tion of religious and racial issues by the Klan has side-tracked, for tho time
being, all other issues and will romain in the fore-ground until the principles
of the Jllll of Rights are triumphant or
What, however, is tho attitude of the Democratic state central committee
and of tho Democratic enndidatu upon tills important issue of Invislblo gov
ernment? This issue cannot be side-stepped. Tho Democrats cannot hide
their heads in the sand, like the ostrich, iftid imagine they are escaping the
issue. Tho Democrntlo candidate cannot run with the hares and the hounds
both. ' He cannot stund for constitutional nnd for invisible government at
the same time. Ho must define his attitude, so the public may know.
Tho Democrats cannot afford to trade principle for expediency. Neither
party nor candidate can secure popular support by evasion. All those v;tat
principles which brought the party into existence are ns much at stake today
as when Jefferson formed th party to combat secret oligarchy and preserve
tho rights of man, without regard to race or religion. It is not Democratic to
trado tho Bill of Bights, upon which the party was founded nnd tho preserva
tion of which is tho solo excuse for its existence, for a mess of pottage
an election upon false pretenses. Nor is it Democratic to dodge public Issues
of such vast import to the future.
Oregon can recover from excessive taxation nnd from an over-abundance
of office-holders. Theso ills are fleeting and bring about their own correc
tion. But to iiistull Invisible government, to turn the state over to secret
societies based upon rollglous and racial Intolerance, moans a fundamental
change in government from which tlio commonwealth will suffer for years,
and which will offectunlly retard her progress and eventually destroy her
prosperity. Such action will prove Oregon the moron of tho family of
states. Salem Capltal-Journnl.

THE GENTLE SEX.
IP YOU want a title that's gory, let a woman write the same;
to compound a thrilling story I'd nppoint some gentle dame.
Man at times seems rather sparing, daubing in the scarlet tones,
but 'a woman, greatly daring, fill's her narrative with bones.
AY hen her inspirations wrapped her she had blond and bones to
spare, with a corpse in every chapter, and an inquest here and
there. Woman writes detective stories by the bushel, in these
times, and we can't deny the glories of her plots'and sleuths and
crimes. And the reader murmurs sadly, "What a dragon she
must be, she who writes so blithely, gladly, of red carnage in a
sea!" Then some day the reader sees her, and he cries aloud,
"Gadzooks!" And a most astonished geezer is that reader of
her books. For site's quiet and retiring, she is of. a queenly
grace; and if bloodshed she's desiring, there's no symptom in her
face. Nearly all this season's thrillers are by femtilc authors
writ; through their pages wild-eyed killers like the movie phan
toms flit. And tho gentle authors render all their fury in their
books; in their private lives they'ro tender, drinking tea in quiet
nooks.

THEIR CHILDREN
TO LIE, CLAIMED
MARYSV1LLE, Mo., July (By. I.
N. S.) Children learn how to lie
from their parents.
This startling opinion was express
ed by Mrs. T. H. Leet, prominent
Maryville clubwoman, In a talk to the
Mother's club of tho Buchanan street
Methodist Episcopnl church.
And the other mothers agreed with
her.
. "Wo toll many little children bo-
clal lies," suld Mrs. Leet. "We tell
thorn to tell Mrs. S.-and-So, if she
comes, that wo are not at home. Wo
praise someone's clothes to her face,
then turn to the little girl and say:
'Isn't sho a sight!" We tell someone
that we will bo delighted to accept
nn invitation, then tell tho daughter
that we Just despise to go.
"We arbitrarily suppress tho nntu
ral energies nnd force the children to
seek a secret and 'illegitimate outlet
for them, which they will bo tempted
to conceal by untruths.
"We do not answer tlio questions
of our children honestly. We answer
them with untruths, which forces the
child to seek undeslrnblo information
elsewhere. Wo cmphaslzo mistakes
and transgressions, making ttie child
ashamed to speak of thorn freely.
"We do not trust our children. We
question with suspicion and stimulate
In them n foar of punishment which
will lead them to lie In self-dofense."
Tile trouble with modern parents,
according to Mrs. LoM, is that they
Judge their children by adult stand
ards. "Wo Judge our children by adult
standards of right and wrong," she
said, "forcing them to deception. We
mistake tho child fancy and imagina
tive ' playfulness for lies. But
we should remember that tho child's
Imaginative world Is just as real to
him ns our material world Is to us."
Mrs. Leet advocated greater frankness-on
the part of parents nnd scru
pulous care In setting a good example
to the children as a romcdy for many
Ills.
