Most of the Interest at present centers about the democrat ic candidate for governor. Walter M. Pierce, until nominat ed for the gubernatorial position, was a much respected man of the state, but recently the political hardshells have been putting forth great endeavors to nail his hide on the cabin wall. It is particularly interesting to note what trivial mat ters can be enlarged to monstrous crimes when political issues are at stake. Olcott was never elected governor of Oregon. He inherited the job up on the decease of Governor Withy- combe. and is still in office because he has not followed the late gover nor, As Secretary of State It is said that Olcott was a very competent nian, but he is out of his element as chief executive. This, however, is no fault of Benny’s, for nature sim ply made him mentally incompetent for such a post, and the leopard cannot change his spots. The ef forts of the Republican party in this state seem to center about Pierce rather than their own candidate. They do no’ try to laud Olcott (In which they are very wise), but 'hey are doing their best to dis- credit Pierce. The great crime of which Pierce Is accused consists of getting some relatives to secure some school loans for him. Sounds awful, but an in- '“resting parallel may lie drawn. Supposing a merchant were giving •»ay some article, a broom for ex ample, to each customer w ho made a small purchase in his store on a certain date, only one to a custom •r. Supposing, further, tin woman did not need a broom friend of hers prevailed upon her get one anyway and give it to liei triend. This is substantially what Mr. Pierce is accused of, and put 95 per cent of the people ol Oregon in his class as far as frauds are con cerned. Hut the smooth politicians would have us believe that an enoi mous crime had been committed that Pierce should be behind bars. Another thing occurs to us this time: This alleged fraud is supposed to have been committed in 1903. Where has the information of this act been for the past nine teen years? It begins to look as though some of our Republican leaders might be guilty as accessor ies after the fact for not exposing this horrible crime before now. Pos sibly this would stand looking Into.

Other scientists tell us to consid er the elephant. The Hindoo tells us that he gets good work from that giant creature only so long as he is good to it. Should he abuse or offend It, he would lose the phant’s willingness to work and might lose his life by incurring the elephant’s ire. To appease the Tfle- phant, the Hindoo always feeds before he himself partakes of food. That gentleness and generosity do much to gain good work, is th'e mor al lesson the scientist hands to as the result of these observations. But who wants to be either i elephant or an ant? Who would want to emulate their ways, inter- esting as they appear to be? The elephant has pone generosity for which the scientific observer pleads. The ant is g4od to its own but wars on every other creature that it cannot subdue and use.

And I ate till I thought I'd never get through! After dinner was over and the food packed away, I went over by the salal ‘‘bushes to have a real play, And Rags, my little Airdale pal. Chased the sticks that I threw in to the salal. Just as we were getting tired of playing, I suddenlj heard Aunt Joe saying: "Let’s go down on the beach a while. And watch the big waves and build a sand pile.” So down on the beach we went, on the run. And my! didn’t we have lots fun! Tossing sticks into the foam— ' And watching Rags bringin’ home. And after a while we went back the fire, And we could hear a lot of people singing In a choir, Pretty quick, ’twas time home, But my thoughts were still sticks and the foam— And little old Rogs, a brlngln' 'em home. —Lots Wilkes, age 10 years.

When your telephone is accidentally left “off the hook," the operator first answers as she would if you were placing a call. After repeated efforts, receiving no response, she reports your line as “out of order." It is then disconnected from the regular switchboard and placed on a special board where it awaits the attention of the repairing forces. All this takes time. It involves tests, rejjorts and generally a trip to the location of the trouble. In the meantime, what happens? Others have been unable to reach you by telephone. Even if the mistake has been discovered and your telephone placed on the hook, service may not be restored until the “troubleman’s" final O. K. On a party line all other telephones on the line are deprived of both incoming and outgoin service for the same period of investigation an< rePair- ................... “Off the hook" is a most common cause of in terruption to telephone service. By the exercise of care in this connection you will protect your service and avoid inconvenience to yourself and others. 1 The Pacific Telephone And Telegraph Company
