its moral and spiritual effect, and are
just b<*irinninjt to discover somethin*

feet without a cause, that is certain,
so I am going to take a little space
fo r the cause o f jealousy.
In the first place, fo r one to be
jealous, in any possible way, shows
one to have an "in fe rio rity complex.”
Everyone longs to be admired, to be
loved. to stand out above the average,
hut very, very few take the trouble to
improve themselves to that point
whore each one can shine in his own
particular way
Eor instance, i f each
one put his heart and soul into his
work, he would have no need to bo
jealous o f another's success. I f one
was as clean and neat about his per-
son and surroundings, as he could be.
he wouldn't need to be jealous o f his
neighbor's attractive home.
I f each
one was as loving, unselfish and as
gracious as he could be. he wouldn’t
be jealous o f another's charm.
So,
it is easily seen that jealousy springs
from a lack o f intelligence, or a lack
o f balance, or unity between the emo
tions generated in the heart, and the
intellect generated in the brain.
This answers two letters, one who
hasa jealous husband, and one who
has a jealous wife.

that matter, anywhere in the State o f Oregon, or the world.
o— Cash must accompany all orders where votes are desired. There w ill be no e x
ception to this rule. ( andidates will be allowed to collect back subscriptions and re
newals as well as entirely new subscriptions and votes will be issued on both.
6— Votes are free. It costs the subscriber nothing extra to vote fo r his or her
favorite. Subscribers should ask for votes when paying their subscriptions.
7 Cotes cannot be purchased. Every cent accepted through the camjiaign depart -
ment must represent subscriptions.
8— Votes are not transferable.
Candidates cannot withdraw- in fa v o r o f another
candidate. Should a candidate withdraw- from the race, his or her votes will be can
celled. (W ith the consent o f the cam paign manager, however, a candidate may w ith
draw from the race and transfer his or her votes to an entirely new candidate or new
entry.; N either will it be permissible for 'andidates to g ive or transfer subscriptions
to another candidate. Votes on such transferred subscriptions will be subject to dis
qualification at the discretion o f the management.

14— Extension o f subscriptions will receive votes according to the vote schedule in

venient place, where candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections
and reserve votes. And not until the race has been declared dosed will the seals he
broken, the box unlocked and the judges begin the final count. In this way, no one—
not even the campaign r.ianager—can possibly know the voting strength o f the re
spective candidates, which precludes any possibility o f favoritism and insures fairness
to the minutest degree.

didates at the convenience o f the rampaign manager.
