“MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING”
Just a few ,more days before the
state election and the political gang
is busy. 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.

Mr. Pierce is accused of, and put

in his class as far as frauds are con

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

leaders might be guilty as accessor

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

tions he is not only the research

THE PICNIC AT OCEAN LAKE
• had a picnic in Ocean Lake,
And my, the good things we did
take!
Sandwiches, dutch cheese and press
ed chicken, too.
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

Off the Hook
*’**'■•
/
v.’V?
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<

“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.
