It must be annoying to a re
formed Democrat, who has turned
Republican for the duration of the
campaign, to pick up a paper and
read that an obscure congressman
from ihe back country of U'iwcon
hIii, thinks "the democratic party
incapable of government." Tho
la.st shot Democracy did have at
government, was messed up worse
than If it had been handled by a
gang of 2nd loots, but think of nil
i he catchy phrases that came
rolling out of Ihe White House
and, as later events proved never
meant a-thlng.
Yesterday your con, held a
learned discussion with 1 1on, P..
Anderson on the improvement in
tho moral tone of Hie nation."
Thoro are less scallaways than
there used lo be," said Air. Ander
son, giving the tail of tho Turn
many tiger a vicious twist, "and I'
can prove it." He furl her held
that the orchard run of scallawags
wci-e black -hearted and white
livered, and had a cast In their
lcl'L eye. Tho writer could not.
con trad let this testimony, secured
in an autopsy on a scatlawag, hut
we said to Mr. Anderson, In our
most gracious and charming man
ner, that there ,had been no de
cline In scallawags, hul that they
kept out of sight, and were foxier
than they used to be. This was
ton much for .Mr. A., who departed
in high dudgeon, and laughing
merrily.
Tho more smippler monibers of
tho well-known opposite (In-more-wayH-than-one)
sex, are sporting

real nice, though some look like
they had been hit by a cyclone.
One never sees tho name of
William (I. AloAdoo, heir to Idealis
tic notions, and dispenser thereof,
except on the southwest corner of
the po. In the last issue of Time,
n discussion Is raging whether Mr.
AlcAdoo rode a stallion or a mare

Air. Cleno Tunney, former heavy
weight champion of the world, Is
prancing around socially and
financially, and softly cussing re
porters. Tho gentle one Is plumb
bored to death by reporters, yet lie
knows where they are assembled
in the largest masses. He says
that France fought a bloody war
hi 1 7Ii3 far tho "rights of man,"
and Intimates (hero may he anoth

continue being snippy with the

now feature (discovered was the
jumping frog contest. The solemn-
faced bullfrogs are placed on tho
line and an soou'iis they are re
leased they proceed to "yum p."
To Increase public Interest In the
contest, one Ik named Hoover and
the other Smith. 'Hoover won to

oui; non-partlsanshlp again, we
will admit the frog "Hoover" look
ed more like his distinguished
namesake than the frog "Smith."
The Sacramento Ileo, normally
republican, is out for the Sow
York governor, and according to
the Hearst straw vote, Al Ik lead

slight margin. In a copyrighted
Franklin D. Roosevelt predicts
Smith will carry California and
Pennsylvania, although he admits
polities are ho scrambled, predic
tions at the present if mo are only

will give H IS prediction. If Al's
chances in Pennsylvania are no
better than they are in California,
we would say Franklin, as a proph

There Is some sort of a contro
versy In the Chronicle as to the
origin of the name "Oregon." Here
are two views printed today which
may interest th Portland Histor
ical society:
Kdltor The Chronicle Sir: The
state of Oregon received Us name
through a misunderstanding. Two
Swedes Ole and Orry, were pros
pecting on the north bank of the
Columbia in tho days of yester
year. Orry, the only one who
could speak or understand Kng

ket 'this year, present estimate in
dicate. Fairly sootl prices Jast

one for the maturity of turkeys,
wilh a small percentage of Inns,
has resulted in a larger crop Hum

All conditions have heen good

and the birds are heavy and in
prime condition. Many of tho
growers expect, to have a heavier
kill for the Thanksgiving season
than usual.
Organization of a turkey market
ing association, which controMsap
proximately sixty percent of the
birds, is expected to aid in main
taining the price this year. Ad
ditional growers are signing up
with the association nnd there will
probably he 75 percent of the birds
signed by the time buying starts.
It is the plan of the organiza
tion to get out several, early ship
ments to supply Alaskan and east
ern markets. These shipments
will probably he made about the
first week in November.-.
