A LADY TALKS
- "I, told him to dry up, when ho told
me he favored four more dances a

the orchestras. I ain't got the strength
to stand two of 'em, and what wouldn't
four do to me. Hut Elsie fell for his
line that womun would wind up In
the reform school if It wasn't for mo.
Her sweetie is III, somebody told him
horse liniment had a kick. For seven
hours he thought he was a horso, and
tried to curry the Chov. The gentle
man who favored tho Compulsory
Dance Attendance Hill, told our heav
iest coffee drinker, that I was nguinat
him, but anybody who says so tells a
falsehood, even if he does swig the
Java but of a saucer, and wipes off his
mustache on the tublecloth. He told
Elsie' confidentially, that ho was a
man's man. He must be. All tile girls
I knajv will be for his onomy. He's
going to run like my wrist watch.

Armistice Day is Novombor 11, and
it sure Is needed.
LET lS Sl'I'l'OSE you want to build n new house. What do you
do? Give the. iolj to tin; first man who asks for it. Hardly. Xor
do you give it to the man who talks the loudest or claims the most,
or truarnntees to save you the must money, or runs down his com
petitor most maliciously.
You either enswe some man you know personally, and you know
will do the job as you want it done, or you engage a man whose
past record shows he can he depended upon to deliver the goods.
'It is the same, or should he, with the man who asks for a public
ntfiee, whether it is rimiiinjr your home city or your state, or any de
partments of the same. It is your business to he conducted, not his.
J t is your job to see that Ihc applicant is something more than a mere
political wind .jammer, to know that he can deliver the goods.
What is needed in the coming election, more perhaps than ever
before is just ordinary good sense, an exercise of the same care and
ciserimination in choosing the man who wants to run your public af
fairs, as you would toward choosing the man who wants to run some
department of your private affairs.
Now take Mr. l'ieree who wants to run this state the next four
years. He is a very pleasing gentleman personally, he is exception-'
ally plausible regarding how he will mince taxes, how lie will bring
prosperity, how ho will do this and' tho other thing if only allowed a
desk in the state house.
Before you fall completely. for this'solling talk" would it not
be well to look up his record? .Mr. l'ieree 's record, which has never
been denied, shows that when he held dow.n n job for the state before,
he voted for approximately 95 of the tax burden against which he
now complains. This is not the statement of his political apponent.
It is the statement of the legislative records.
lie promises prosperity, lint at iho same time he promises his
support to the iniquitous compulsory school bill, which regardless of
its defiance of the Stale and federal constitutions, would raise taxes,
by at least a million dollars the first year, and would be the greatest!
blow to tho material development of Oregon for the past half cen-1
tnry. !
Mr. Tierce deplores religious intolerance and yet in order to getj
a few more votes, he signed on the dotted line to gain tho support of'
ttie Ku Klux Klan, founded on religious iutolerauac and responsible!
for the most deplorable domestic disruption, dissension and destruc-j
tion this state has ever suffered.
And so on and so forth. It is doubtful if n public man has ever:
aspired for high office in Oregon whoso record has so belied his!
claims, whose insincerity was so flagrant, whose willingness to prom
ise anything to get votes was so unbounded.
' A great many people want a. change. The spirit of blind revolt
is high. But there is a good old saying ubout jumping from .the fry
ing pan into tho fire. If the people of Oregon as a whole are as alive
to their self-interest in the case of choosing a man to bjiild up their
fctate as they would bo in choosing a man to build up a house or barn
or woodpile, complete incineration will bo, safely avoided. '

Page, Showing Jackie Coogan
Tackio Coogan, In "Trouble," the
current attraction (it tho Pago theatre,
merits the attention of tho show
weary who are seoklnff diverting en
tertainment. Ono might easily bo
misled by the title to asBurae that this
is ' essentially a "sob-ftlcturc." That
Is far from being the case. There are
more wholesome laughs contained in
this Interesting feature than there aro
In many alleged five-roel comedies.
Tho work of the little Btnrlet is
really remarkable. IIo registers the
comedy with as much facility as ho
does the pathos.
Interwoven with tho comedy there
is an oxcellent story running through
out the feature. It Is dlfforent and
tremendously enjoyable.
Another dlRtluct feature offered by
the Page is Buster Keaton's new com

IDLE RICH.
MY LOT is cast whore millionaires arc thick as they can be,
and, grouchy as so many bears, they sit' beside tho sea; and
every moment some one swears their weird is hard to dree. Oh,
every moment some one sighs, and wishes he were dead, for ho is
tired of swatting flies, of eating daily bread; he's tired of swap
ping futile lies concerning days long sped. These rich men never
learned to play, or loaf long hours through; when in their prime
each busy day showed some one they could do; some other rich
men they might flay were evermore in view. They never learned
in all their days the nsu of useless things, like arguing with idle
jays of cabbages and kings, of finding out, in fifty ways, the joy
that loafing brings. 1'hey never learned to play vain tricks that
do not bring in kale, to make toy houses out of bricks or read an
Old Sleuth tale; and so they file their weary kicks, and say that
life is stale. Oh, parents, teach your sons to play and have a bully
time, and do not let them lireak away that they may nail a dime,
or haply, when they're old and gray, they'll say that life's a
crime.
