WHAT MR. HUGHES WILL DO
Mr. Frederick M. Davenport is commended by the
Oregonian for his defense of Candidate Hughes. Among
other things Mr. Davenport says of his client is "What
Mr. Hughes says on the stump he will, he will do. The
country knows that and the party leaders know it. That
isTiis kind of man."
Suppose we accept Mr. Hughes at the valuation Mr.
Davenport places on him. Mr. Hughes, it is reported,
said on the stump that if he was elected "he would wipe
all democratic legislation off the statutes." Now if he is
the kind of man Mr. Davenport says he is, having so
stated "that he will do." In other words he will wipe the
rural credit laws oil" the statutes. He will do away with
the federal reserve banks. He will do away with the
Adamson bill and wipe out the eight hour day. He will
abolish the Fursuruth seamen's law that permits sailors
to remain human beings. He will put an end to the work
of the tarifF commission of businessmen who are examin
ing into the tariff from a business standpoint for the pur
pose of preparing a tariff system based on business rather
than on the demand of public plunderers. He would do
away with more actual constructive legislation than the
country has had under forty years of republican rule.
This Mr. Hughes says he will do, and Mr. Davenport says
that what Mr. Hughes says, that he will do. If that is
what the voters of the country want, then they can rest
assured that it what they will get if they elect Mr.
Hughes. Mr. Hughes says so, and will do it.
Mr. Ware, of Los Angeles, is a practical joker. Mrs.
Ware is not. Recently following a little quarrel Willie
(that is Mr. Ware's prefix) laid down on the floor with:
an empty lysol bottle beside him. Mrs. Ware discovered
him, and sent in a hurry up call for an ambulance. Ware
protested that he was -only fooling her but she was
frightened and refused to believe him. He was hurried
to the hospital where a stomach pump was used in spite
of Willie's resistance. We stated Mr. Ware is a practical
joker, but to be exact the "is" should be changed to a
"was" for he says, "never again." He says also "it would
have been all right if his wife was not deficient in her
sense of humor." Is she? u
' There is an old saying that a democratic office holder
"seldom dies and never resigns," and yet William II.
Hornibrook, democratic editor before being appointed
minister to Siam at a $10,000 a year salary, has resigned
the job and is on his way home. The call of the news
paper is irresistible to the man once bitten with the bug
and they one and all have to return to the faithful old
paste pot, the reliable shears and the old associates, the
exchanges.
Oakland officials are worried because the city official
seal has merely a horse, a dog and a sailboat on it. It
is proposed, now that the city has grown out of the mud
flat class, to cut out the whole business and substitute an
auto; a train and a steamship. That change should make
the Oaklander sleep more peacefully, but if it doesn't,
why not use an elephant, a bull moose and the patient
hut faithful democratic burro?
Mrs. Robert Byron is an impulsive woman and also
quick of decision. Just one hour and a half after her
husband blacked her eye, her complaint for divorce was
signed, sworn to and filed. She did not even stop to
powder her optic before hiking for a law factory.
. If a man should ask you where he could "get a flop
and a splash for a man and half?" what do you think you
would tell him. Sam MacGuire, an old actor, was asked
that question and at once informed his questioner where
he could get a room with a bath for $1.50. Truly, this
language of ours is "spectacular."

Only 8,805 Irishmen have enlisted in the English army

The house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
church is having a strenuous time getting its marriage
and other services and forms "modernized." It is pro
posed to change the form of prayer for the president so
as to not include the words: - "In health and prosperity
long to live." It was also proposed to cut out of the mar
riage service the words "obey," but this went over for
three years during which time the good wives will be ex
pected to continue to obey as" before. It is also proposed
to add to the petition for the president the words "and the
governor of this state," which is all right so far as it
goes though it should read for the governors of all the
states so the prayer would be that much more extensive,
and heaven knows the governors especially need praying
for, unless indeed the prayers be put up for the people
they govern.

New England accuses the United States of violating
her neutrality by. allowing .her destroyers to stand by
while the German submarine sunk English ships on the
Atlantic. Just what was expected of our destroyers is
hard to understand, for it could hardly be expected they
would take part in a sea fight between crafts of warring
nations just because they were handy. Did England sup
pose they would take a hand in the fight just because they
were near enough to do so? Would it have been an evi
dence of our strict neutrality to have attacked the Ger
man submarine? Someway our English cousins have
some peculiar notions as to what constitutes neutrality.
Why leather is high is explained by the fact that our
exports in this line have more than trebled in the past
year or two. In 1914 we exported leather of the value of
$57,000,0000, but in the year ending last June we exported
some $146,000,000 worth of it and on top of this sent
abroad more than twenty million pairs of shoes. Besides
the shoes sent the soldiers of Europe the Chinese are dis
carding sandals and have taken to wearing shoes, the
business in this line increasing more than three times in
the past year.
A raise in the price of gasoline is due soon. John D.
Rockefeller, on leaving Cleveland a day or so ago, gave
a little girl five buffalo nickels and five pennies. When
the old oil tank realizes what a jolt he, has given his
exchequer, the bubble wagons will be called on to come
through.

""Klamath Falls would like President Sproule to build a

According to the Oregonian Mr. Hughes now has
enough states safely tucked awaytto give him nineteen
majority. In spite of this Hughes insists on playing the
last half of the ninth. He is inclined to be swinish.

I don't like little Albert Clarence, though
he's a sprightly lad, because he won't obey
his parence, his mother and his dad. This
Clarence boy is strangely gifted, he is no
person's fool, and divers prizes he has lifted
down at the village school. He knows what
war or revolution distinguished every king,
and when it comes to elocution, he makes
the welkin ring. It sends a sort of thrill
and shiver all up my spine and neck, when
he arises to deliver "The Boy and Burning
Deck." In divers ologies excelling, in Greek
he cuts much grass, and when it comes to hard word
spelling, he cleans up all his class. But when his mother
or his father remarks, "Go, hunt the eggs," he seems to
think it too much bother to exercise his legs. And when
his father or his mother observes, "Go, feed the cat," he
says to them, "My little brother is here let him do that."
There are no flies on Albert Clarence, his teachers all
agree; but kids who don't obey their parence don't make
a hit with me.
MOOTJL TRACTOR AT WORK

According to plans, the greatest acreage
of loganberries will be planted in the

where strawberries mature too late aiid
where conditions are unfavoiable to the

"No, than you! I love to dance, and
hope you will ask me for the very next
dance," a sudden thought making my
pulses beat. "And I surely do not want

liked him better than ever because of
his thought for me. But at the same

not to show the white feather. A fa

Clifford liked women of poise, of

as he had been horns to dress and so
knew that I was somewhere in the res

had occurred to me, then be guided
by what he said and did.

"You're not very enthusiastic!" he

I wondered if Muriel had told him of

had, as it might save explanations.
"t promised this one to Burton," I
replied, then cast an appealing glance
toward him. I had decided to speak to
Clifford, to force an issue, and it would
be easier with Burton than with Leon

"Yes, this is my dance!" Burton
quickly responded taking the cue,
"Mrs. Hammond has been gracious
enough to give it to me, though I don 't

EDUCATION IS MUCH SOUGHT
State Seems to Have received Intellec
tual Stimulus This Year
University of Oregon, Kugene, Oct.
IS. An intellectual stimulus that stHta
university observers so fur have noi
accounted for appears to have como to
: Oregon this fall. Here are a few nf tha
manifestations of it :
Xenrlv 1OU0 persons have appeared
for university extension classes in
Portland. Residence enrollment in liber
I nl ai ts at Kugene will be nearly 1100
1 for the yeur. Registration in the cor
resepondence study department is nL'8.
' Attendance a the summer school was
.'114. Other departments show similar
growth. For example, 4479 teachers of
, Oregon have this year done their read
ling circle work with the university.
I The Portland increase is about 7S
per cent; the liberal arts residence in
crease is about 13 per cent; the corres
pondence study increase Is 19 per cent;
the summer school increase was 70 per
cent. This grow th has come in a period
when increases were not to ie expectea.
When a member of the extension fac
ulty made a trip on institute work to
Ilnrnev county this month, a majority
i of the teachers were found to be inter
ested in correspondence study.
The attendance totals for all -Oregon,
institutions of higher education givo
this state a high place in percentage
of population that goes beyond the high
school.
POOR SEED, POOR POLICY
Many dealers in Oregon potatoes de
clare that Willamette valley potatoes as
a rule are poor quality, due to the poor
seed used anil to the practice of plant
ing late in the season. In this immedi
ate vicinity, however, the quality is bet
ter than usual. Dealers disapprove tha
practice of planting small potatoes for
seed, and assert that the right thing to
d is to select the good-sized, clean po
tatoes from well filled hills at digging
time and use them for the next season's
seed. It has been demonstrated time"
and again that carefully selected seed is
the chief requisite to a good crop, yet
potato growers in general do not seem
to learn the lesson, and the ninny of tha
potato fields of the valley are full ot
diseased tubers or very ordinary quality.
Another mistaken idea, according to po
tato buyers, is that potatoes will make a
better growth if planted lntc. Early
planted potatoes have time to matura
and keep better than late planted ones.
The best potatoes are those that mature
before the frost, and the heavy fall
rains come on, though they should not
be dug until a rain or two has cooled off
the tubers, and put the cround in tha
best condition for digging. Aurora Ob

s An Impulsive Oct.
Then one of my impulsive moods
seized me. I would enjoy the dance,
then compel Clifford to recognize me. I
knew I looked well, that I was perfect
ly gowned. And while perhaps rhad
not quite the poise, the blase manner of
his two women friends, I was yonng, so
could not be expected to rival" them U
that particular.
So I laughed and chatted with Burtoa
as if I hadn't a care in the world- Ha
evidently approved, forlie said:
"That's right, Mrs. Hammond, enjoy
yourself." Then. "You're a littls
brick!" and without giving me time to
reply, or notice his remark, he called
my attention to someone he knew.
. His very evident sympathy, tha'
hearty way he had spoken" gave me four
age. And really I did enjoy the re
mainder of the dance aad the encore.
When at last the music stopped wa
were staading close to the table where
Clifford and his partner had just seated
themselves. Without saving a word t
guided Burton in that direction. Whem
we reached Clifford's side, his start ot
surprise appeared genuine, but it had aa
effect upon me, I did not hesitate.
