HE ELECTION" is ovir. It is tlieivfore uttfr follv to continue'
U'l'tioiiwrini'. " liy tills we do not mean discussion of fun-:
damental principles. Nothing is settled perimtnently until settled j
right. But we do mean political horse play.
This newspaper talk in Portland about a Republican Legislature
depriving Governor Pierce of his appointive power is political horse'
play. Such nn idea from a Republican standpoint is not only poorj
business, but poor polities.
Governor Pierce has been fairly elected. Ho will be responsible'
to the people of Oregon for the state administration the next fourj
years. If the new administration makes good, Pierce will get the;
credit, if it fails Pierce will get the blame. Therefore, Governor i
Pierce should have the same power to determine the personnel of his;
administration as his predecessors had. ''
To cull this a return to the spoils system is to return to the po
litical clap trap and buncombe of the late election. It is nothing of
the sort. It is merely good business and good sense.

Slkl No Gentleman
PARIS, Nov. 22. M. Hellers, man
ager of Battling Silti, In an Interview
published In L'Auto, says he accepts
tho action of tho FVench boxing fed
eration in withdrawing the license of
the Senegalese and asserts:
"liy my work I made him a world
champion; I, should have liked, by my
advice, to make him a gentleman."
Tho newspaper learns that Siki's
license was cancelled because of the
boxer's assault on the manager of
Maurice Prunler and because of his be
havior in public places in Paris and in
tho provinces.
t'ctit Parisian says Siki ha3 been
approached by a German motion pic

him appear in. a film but that he has

of beautiful flowers, all freshly cut
from his old-world garden roses,
annuals, perennials and bearing the
legend: "I'-ine Flowers, sixpence per
bunch."
Outside tho house is a big poster:

She'd love them.
Aren't they jolly?

Fresh picked and fragrant.
And the boating parties from the
Thames tome ashore and 'buy the

Not that the rear admiral does any
gnCdenlng himself. That, of course,
would be below the dignity of a re
tired senior officer of the Hritish
nuvy attempting to augment a slen
der pension. Hut ho has an ener
getic wife, son and daughter, all en
thusiastic gardeners and they do all
the work necessary to produce the
flowers.
The business is growing fast. Mrs.
Itear-Admiral is now exhibiting
flowers at the local flower show and,
ambitiously, she looks forward to tne
time when she will bo sending her
flowers and vegetables to tho Lon
don markets, cither by automobiles or
aeroplanes.
It Is stated that another retired ad
miral is seriously considering going
into the shoe-shine business and set

A LADY TALKS
I'll tell you what kind of a hairpin I
am. I had a day off yesterday. I
went down town, and I've got a heart j
bn me as big aa an ox. I love my fol-j
lowman, with tho exception of a bll-
lion. And bellove me, nothing gets my:
nanny like a kid. Well, sir, standing
out In front of a window full or toys,
is three kiddles with their Ma. Their
mugs need scrubbing, but the moral ,
welfare of the nation needs going ovor.
And the ktddios have their faces glued I
up to the glass. And oh boy! the look!
in their eyes. Right then and thero I
go under, and say to the little follow
that Is nearest:
"What does the Rood little boy want
Santy Clnua to bring him?"
"Don't you start them brats blatting
about Santy Clans. Why don't you got
some of your own? You tend to your
own business. I run my own family
without assistance from flip stran
gers." pipos up tholr Ma.
, I gave that woman a look she'll not
forget. I ain't used to that kind of
treatment, and can't say anything ex
cept, "Ttiey suro look ' it. Madam."
Then she, called me an impudent fo
nmle. !
This knocks me for a henhouse, nil
right, but my heart don't harden, and
I says to mysolf, like people will, may
be Elsie's brother would like to have a
tin horse, and I goes into the storo
and look i ovor tho do-dads. A clork
comes up and flirtingly says: "Some
thing?" .
1 says: :"IIow much Is that tin horse,
next the set of dishes."
Well, I get it again. The nnimul
was priced at more than it would cost
to put a new roof on tho Liberty build
ing. I said to Mr. Valoutlno, Jr., "Ho
Is a fancier nng than I took him to be;
did he win any races at tho county
fair? Havo they run out of tin money
In this country?"
All ho could say was, tho workman
ship can't be beat.
I came, right back: "Neither can 1."
I figured It would be cheaper to buy
Elsie's brother a horse that eats oats,
nnl walks on the lawn noxt door.
When I went out ho snorted like- one.
I like Christmas, everybody is hu
man, though It must strain 'em. And
they ain't fooling me any, I'm tolling

TW. 1IKADACIIK saves us many hours of boredom and dis
tress; with it we shield our divers bowers from long drawn
weariness. When from my window I look out, to note the signs
of ruin, 1 see approach a windy scout, who gives my soul a pain.
Then to our servant maid I say, "Oh, Janet Kose McGinn, 1 have
a headache fierce today, so let no callers in." My aunt attends
a lecture course; she'll sit for hours on end, and listen to some
speaker hoarse the Volstead act defend. Anon she says to me,
"Ods pie, wilt thou not come with me!" "I have a headache,"
I reply, "and must drink some boneset. tea." AVhen I am asked
to fix a chair, or hoe or dig or sweep, I summon headaches from
the air, or from the vasty deep. Xo doubt my neighbors think the
aches that thus infest my head are hollow mockeries and fakes,
but nothing have they said. For they have headaches too, at
times ,protecting them from foes, and from tho tawdry ta'ksmith
crimes our bankrupt culture knows. The headache is the greatest
gift to mortals ami their wives, by kindly gods designed to lift
some shadow from our lives.
