THE IMMORTAL POLITICAL COMEDY
0
UEEN VICTORIA never liked. Gladstone. She said he 'always
addressed her as" if she were the House' of Commons.
Something the same feeling must come to maiiy people in Jack
son county when they read the ponderous manifestos of the county
central committees, Democratic, and Keptililieaii. From the tone
and awe-inspiring phrasing of these parly documents, one might
siijipo.se they were addressed to a world congress and related to the
crime of high treason or manslaughter, instead of the crime of voting
for a candidate of another party, in peaceful, pastoral Oregon. '
It is all very amusing, the tremendous seriousness with which
the most unassuming eit.izen takes himself, when he is elevated to the
dignity of a precinct committeeman. And they are all alike, regard
less of party. There is something about affiliation in any capacity
with a political machine that automatically destroys even a normal
sense of humor. '":
' i
And while these appeals to vole the ticket straight are as iiiovit
id)le every election, as campaign buttons, and swings around the
circle, the outcome is always the same. A majority of republicans
always vote the ticket straight, a majority of democrats always do
the same, and an ever increasing minority of independent voters, who
really determine the result of every election, vote for the man, or men,
or principle, they want, regardless of party.
And this, if one cares to analyze tho matter, is a very desirable
thing. For it keeps both parties on their mettle, and it gives final au
thority not to an artificial, necessarily selfish political organization,
l ut to what might be termed the popular conscience.
r
But the party war horses never see it, or if they see it, never ad
mit it. They continue to exhort the voters to be 100 per cent regular,
and at the same time, point with great pride to the fact that the
welfare of this country depends upon the competition and successful
maintenance of two great parties.
"What they never seem to see is thatthese two principles are abso
lutely contradictory. There can never be two great parties if at any
g.'ven time, the members of the party in control agree thereafter to
"vote 'or straight."
For "voting 'er straight" means to maintain the status quo, and
maintaining the status quo means to establish a dictatorship, by one
party.
In 1908 Taft was elected by 7,000,000 over about b',000,000 votes
for Bryan. Four years later 4,000,000 Republican voters left the Re
publican party and voted for Roosevelt, leaving only 3,000,000 for
Taft, while Wilson received 6,000,000, just what Bryan received in
1008. Quite a few party traitors one' might say.
In 1910 the Democrats carried the country by a million votes, four
years later the Republicans carried it by 7,000,000! Quite a change,
again.
And so it goes. And so it always will go. But the cry of the
precinct committeeman, suffers no such ebb and flow, but crashes
down the gorge of time forever, maintaining, in defiance of nil laws
against perpetual motion, the party label must be indelible! 1 ',-
Of course, it is all to be expected, that is, the attempt to maintain
party regularity. But why can't they say it with a smile.
Ouill Points
A genuine reactionary is one who thinks the love of liberty the
root of all evil.
Russia needn't be so boastful of her Red guards. Other countrfes
have blackguards.
A free country is one in which a man thinks himself a martyr
when arrested for breaking a law.
A man never realizes how little confidence he has in 'boys until his
daughter gets into her 'teens.
At any rate an unpopular law can't In; enforced while it is vio
lated by those with whom it is popular.
The money to care for disabled soldiers may bo appropriated in
time to build them a beautiful monument.
Look up an old chap in Bradst reel's and you will know whether
he is playing golf or pitching horse shoes.
A moratorium is just the highbrow of admitting that there doesn't
seem to be any blood in the turnip. t
Just when we are willing to concede that women have real intel
ligence, another of them marries that kind of man.

FURS.
MY Al'NT SAMANTHA sits and purrs, and'swells with misfit
pride; for many gorgeous robes are hers, and furbelows
beside; she has all kinds of costly furs for each some creature
died. yy Aunt Samantha has the price to tony just what she
'wants, so seals are traced through northern ice, and butchered
in their haunts, the mink must perish once or twice to give the
muff she flaunts. Full soon the creatures of the. wild will be ex
tinct, men say; for woman's sake their pelts are piled in bundles
on a dray; and Aunt Samantha beamed and smiled o'er her new
coat today. My aunt has not a calloused heart, no venom in her
lips; she would not rend n stoat apart to get the fur she'i!,prize;
she'd cause no beast a puiii or smart were it before her eyes.
But sables, ermine, things like these, suggest no death or pain, no
cruel traps or snickersnees, mx harmless creatures slain; she
doubtless thinks they grow on trees on some far tropic plain.
She doubtless thinks the skins are brought from orchards in the
fall; hut what's the use of tiresome thought! She's dressing for
a ball, and she is hurried and distraught tho taxi soon will call.
If Aunt Samantha could behold tho little furry things which per
ish in the snow and cold in traps with rusty springs, she'd order
all her ermine sold to freaks like queens and kings.

Exercises to Reduce
It Is almost hopeless to tell the stout
woman to exercise in order to reduce.
She hasn't the exercising tempera
ment, if she had she probably wouldn't
be stout, besides as she has indulged
in her own comfort to a great extent
while she has been putting on flesh.
Her will ixnver or her iower to sacri
fice comfort are probably too much
weakened for her to stick at any stren
uous regime.
However some women so value their
youthful good looks that they will
make these trifling sacrifices. Eventu
ally, of course, they like the strenuous
exercising, it's only the beginning of it
that is hard. They like the feeling of
being fit and vigorous.
Cut it takes an enormous amount of
exercise to reduce flesh, while the
more strenuous the exercise the larger
the nppetlt it produces. A woman who
is reducing can eat more if she exer
cises a great deal than if she lives a
sedentary life, but she will never be
able Uv eat enough to satisfy her appe
tite aiubtUe must make up her mind to
that.
The easiest and pleasuntest way to
reduce is to Join ''gymnasium. If
there are no gymnasiums several stout
women should join together and start
one. It's perfectty simple because the
only thing needed is a large empty
room and several sets of Indian clubs
or dumb-bells. Broomsticks are an in
expensive substitute for gymnasium
wands. .The best part of a club or
gymnasium of tills sort is the element
of competition it introduces. Taking
exercises ull by oneself in an empty
