He can't " feel strongly about anything without cry ing. Sometimes he cries real tears nnd other times he merely $obs In wardly. Hut when aroused be always cries in some luslilon. The Governor rend a special mes sace to a Joint session of the two houses at noon today. It was In no sense a bis stick message. It was an appeal. An appeal to do certain things, above all puss an income tax, consolidation, a tax on Insurance com panies, a severance tax, etc. For Joe Singer the House Snrgennt at Arms and for Colonel Mercer the senate factotum It was an occasion for pomp and ceremony, calling for such gallant announcements as "The 'oner able Senate has arrived" nnd "For ward March" with certain approved military manuevers, but for the Gov ernof it was a very solemn and sombre occasion. Flanked by a member of the senate and a member of the houso the Govornor walked up the aisle like Robespierre going to his execution or did ' Robespierre shoot himself. Whatever the historical facts for the Governor It was funeral. He strode forward like Melancholy on a monu ment, and only when arrived on the throne did ho, smile, as tho applause broko out,, a forced rather pathetic Even when, the worn? turns,, eheek. Don't blnmc it nil on war's: legacy of crime. Part of it is boot-legacy. Never despair of a boy. The village cut-up may become a re nowned surgeon. You can say one thing for wood alcohol. Nobody ever inherits n taste' for it. ' A compromise is the shortest deep blue sea. . " Only the heads congested with for a new idea. The great need of, the day is not light without heat, but discus sion of world problems without heat. , ; Another difference between death and taxes is that death is satis fied with one lick at you. . Adjusting the affairs of the world is just a slow process of . being resigned to the inevitable. The difference between happiness nnd contentment is that hap. piness isn't nine parts of laziness. . ' The only, man who thinks a dodge payment is ho know. how. ,"Iiet the devil take the hindmost" is an ancient saying. . So. the oloc system probably isn't new. Much of the crime in any commuuity may be charged to some lawyer who nearly alwQj's gets an acquittal. The only thing to.be suid for lighten the burden of the. street Peace is a little more respectable than war. No nation now claims n monopoly of God's interest and good will,." Correct this sentence: "You look tired," said the husband; "go and read the evening paper while I do the dishes." It; must be remembered, however, : that'- the hateful capitalistic country is the one where the anti-fat nostrums are marketed. America might bo more keenly interested in Europe's affairs if she could learn to pronounce tho places where the rows start. The difference is that you are a sane' mani who fights for his con victions, while the other fellow is', a fanatic who fights for his preju dices. " ' i RippHngRhqc&s WaftM&ton THE PEOCESSIO. FORTY million ears go by, burning up the gasoline; long I watch them as they fly, flivver, bus and limousine ; ay and night they sweep along, all their engines going strongblowing horn'' or sounding gong, nntos yolinv, black aud green., .taiic.

Yes, It was an appeal. An appeal full of heart and soul and tremelos. Certain things must be done.' They had not been done. Why had they not boon done. It was nil very, very sad. aud as the. reading progressed the tremelos came nearer nnd neuror the breaking point. Hut the Gqvernor did Dot break down. One felt the tears were near the surface but they did not fall. Only moderate applause greeted tho final word. His Kxcellency folded up tlio manuscript, shook hands gravely 'with tho Speaker , and the President of tho Senate and, the touch ing drama was over. And hero comes the strange feature of tho performance. Following tho special ipessage John Carkln was asked why. in the name of Humanity he had not reported out his consolida tion measure. , , Representative Carkln replied that at the Governor's request tho Con solidation measure was to be held over tho weof-end.. t' Anyone who can understand that can understand the strange convolu tions of an emotionnl nature working In a political atmosphere." There is another Jireat emotionalist in tho Legislature,, W. F. Woodward Ouill Points I about all it. can turn is tho other distance between the devil and the - brains can afford, parking space dun an insult is the one, who would ultra-fashionable skirts is that Jhey cleaning department. . of Multnomah father of a largo family of educational bills, mostly decoaucd. Mr. . Woodward is called Grandma. The term is neither kindly nor ac curate, for Mr. Woodward is a fine old gentleman, sincere, conscientious, an eloquent speaker and a hard fighter. Hut ho too has the sentimental com plex. He is easily touched often punc tuates his declamations with tears, and is scrupulously polite. Thero Is nothing rough about lilm, nothing crude. And ho makes a specialty of uplift legislation. So they call him Grandma. Woll this was a great day for Grand ma. Ho won two victories and his Joy over them was quite pathetic. A fine looking old gentleman with a stylishly cropped VnnDyke. sensitive lis and an idealistic, forehead rnther re sembling a prosperous deacon actu ally Jumping up and down clapping his hands, face flushed and eyes brimming with tears of gratification. It so ef fected Kap Kubll, 'who isn't feeling very woll nnyway, and looks worse, that he resigned the gavel aud gave some one else tho empty honor of pre siding, while he wandered around the corridors nnd smoked a box of'Camcls. . The two groat lachrymoso victories were flrst-glvlng parents of children of school' ago the right to vote In school elections regardless of prop erty qualifications, and second the eight hour day for lumber camps in Oregon. ' ; Both good enough bills but both strongly opposed in certain quartors. In fact, tho eight hour hill, strange to say, bad the opposition of the t'urm bloc. But for once tho farm bloc lost. The causo was oratory. " ' ; Now oratory bores tho individual. Can you imagine anything worse than to bo shut in' a room alone with a pro fessional orator. ' But oratory good oratory never bores n crowd. It hits some primitive chord In tho human mass that can, If properly directed transform things. " -' i It bo happened that McMahan bf Marion, a loan hungry looking' individ ual with a consuming-passion for' tho undof "dog, gave one of ' tho best sneechos of tho' Besalon in favor of tho mWfluro a speech from the heart, a. speech f till ot genuine feeling, a speech that bored through tho hldn of tho hardest boiled auditor, for it was brimming with simple sincerity and conviction McMahan "wont far back to tho Feudal Agoa.'utid on to slavory and on to his own humble llfo feeding tho hoga to get'an education. And he help up tho eight hour day for labor as the liberation of tho worker, the gateway for contentment nnd comfort and a squnre deal. Spontaneous applause followed the closing climax. Then Woodward walked to the speaker's desk for the final argument - That speech of Mc Mahan had fired his blood like wine, he too became inspired- nnd impas sioned. . Ho tremeloed. ho pleaded, he begged and implored. Ho took off his sndctuc.los. hlB voice quavored and broke, ho tore tho air, be Blammed his ilBJs, nnd then very dramatically ho s'trtvped suddenly was silent a mo ment,- and amid perfect suonce con cluded In-a calm conversational tone "Gentlemen -,I .ask, you . in : Justice to yourselves, nnd in Justice to the work ing man you' pass this bill."
