The so-called "bone drv" amendment tn the mnsrifn.
tion has passed and will become the law as soon as the
governor issues his proclamation concerning ' the same.
As there was no penalty provided for a violation of the
law, and as the proclaiming the same as being in effect
would repeal the present law, it raises an interesting
question, onoum tne governor issue his proclamation

been canvassed, then the law would have no penalty for
its violation, and the old law being repealed there would

PATRIOTISM AND THE ELECTIONS
The election just passed was fought with great display
of patriotism on each side. There was a plethora of noise
about the honor of the nation, the protection of Amer
icans in Mexico, the right of Americans to travel any

actions following the Bull Moose convention, precluded
his ever blushing at anything.
The republican press took the flag under its wings
and asserted that without the elephant toting it the coun
try was bound for the everlasting bow-wows. The dem
ocrats took a hand at the same mouthy patriotism but the
republicans having beat them to it made their efforts
seem tame in comparison. And when it was all over our

two wet counties and west of them four. Of the six
counties going wet all but one, Wasco, were for Hughes.
The vote also shows that the liquor question was not
divided along party lines for Multnomah which gave a
majority of 5,612 for Hughes went wet by 9,775, while

who would ruin the country, despite the fact that it was
as much their country as anybody s else.
The poet Saxe wrote somewhat sarcastically :
"Jennie is much concerned, God wot,
For the good name she hasn't got."
That is what the patriotic politician has been worry
ing about for four months.
A brief glance at the election, its results and, the causes
thereof, will convince anyone that while we were all talk
ing patriotism that that noble attribute had little or
nothing to do with deciding of the election. In California
it was largely a feeling ol resentment that gave Hiram
Johnson : 100,000 more votes than the candidate for presi
dent on the same ticket received.
In Washington it was about the same. Here in Oregon
that "stood like a rock" there is a strong suspicion that
not the silent vote but the secret one gave this state to
Mr. Hughes. The power of the secret vote was demon
strated at the primaries, especially in Portland in June.
Due, so it is claimed, to Senator Lane and the president s
private secretary, a large proportion of the federal ap
pointments were Catholies. The secret anonymous vote,
it is asserted, went against President Wilson on that
account.
The women's party vote was also cast for Mr. Hughes,
declaredly because President Wilson had not used his
power to compel congress to submit a constitutional
amendment in favor of suffrage. There was no especial
patriotism in that or any of the other things mentioned.
Then Tammany, the great New York organization, went
back on the president for reasons best known to its lead
ers, but whatever they were it is a safe bet that it was not
any feeling of patriotism that moved that body to cast its
votes against its party's nominee.
u hat caused the great Wilson vote in Ohio has so far
not been explained, but it is safe to say it was not en
tirely due to a great and overwhelming wave of patriot
ism that swept over that state while missing all the
balance.
It is just as well not to examine too closely into the
causes that decided the election if we would still retain
our ideas that we are actuated by patriotic motives in our
elections.

If Oregon is not to be outdone by Montana, it is ob
vious that the logical candidate for congress from this
district in lyis is Mrs. ,. B. Hanley. She according to
her live wire press agent, Leone Cass Baer, is the "Billy
Sunday of Politics." The Oregonian gives her credit as
being of great help to the republican cause and calls at
tention to the fact that all classes turned out to greet and

It will not be long before Oregon is so dry that there
will be dust on the Willamette, so to speak. Hornbrook
will fold its labels and ship its goods elsewhere and the
bootlegger will probably get unusually busy. The law
will become effective on the proclamation of the gover

generally will pay attention to.
W. Lair Thompson, president of the senate, has been
defeated for re-election, and now it is believed that
Senator Gus Moser, of Pprtland, will be elected to pre
side over the upper house. Such a change would indicate
that Oregon politics are going from bad to worse at a
very rapid pace.

DREAMS
I hope some day to write a song that will
astonish all the throng on this old planet
groping; but meanwhile, since I have to
buy the children lids and shoes and pie, I'll
take it out in hoping. I often think if I had
time to put my best into a rhyme, John Mil
ton would look faded; but writing doggerel
that pays takes up the passing hours and
days, and keeps me worn and jaded. I don't
suppose I'll ever pen the ode that will aston
ish men, and bring me Shakespeare's
laureis; and as ot old my ink shall flow, ex
pounding lessons all men know, and bargain counter
morals. But when all day I've lyred and lyred, until I'm
frazzled out and tired, it's pleasant to sit dreaming of
that far day when I shall write an ode so full of force and
light, the critics will be screaming. And thus your dream
is soothing you, though you may know it won't come true,
this side the river Jordan; it's good to have some kind of
goal; and so, for duds and grub and coal, you struggle on
accordin'.

Jlr. ITayson's words Jiad been simple
enough, but his tone conveyed a great
deal, simple and unsophisticated as I
was I could detect the hidden meaning
Again I thought of telling Clifford of
the note so boldly given mej and again
I deemed ttiat it wuld make Clifford
angry at me, and perhaps complicate a
matter already embarrassing.
About J o clock i went for a lone
walk along the lake front. It was a
cold, bracing afternoon, and I walked
rupidy. Then I did a little shopping
and about 5 o'clock returned to the ho
tel. I read tor a while, then, as my walk
had made me hungry, began-to think of
dinner. But with that thought came
another Would Mr. Mayson, knowing
I was to dine alone, persist ja his at

True he had said he had an engage

cause of my evident distress, and to
deceive Clifford. He was gtayiug in the
hotel, and what mote natural than to

I would have my dinner in my room
and so avoid any. such oomtretemps.
So I ordered a nice little dinner over
the telephone, and sat comfortably curl

I ts aH dressed when Clifford came
in. and as be was late we talked but
little while he dressed.
"What have you been doing all the
afternoon f" he asked, as I found the
tie he wanted.
"Oh, I took a long walk, then shop
ped a little, and then I had the nicest
dinner here in the room"
"What did you do that Jorf" he interrupted-
"Why didn't you go down
stairs! The music and watching the
people would have entertained you,"
carelessly. '
Once more I was tempted to tell Clif
ford of Mr. Mayson ' impertinence, and
to tell him the reason for dining in my
room; but for the last time dismissed
the idea as impracticable, as before I
could say anything, he repeated his re
mark of the afternoon:
"Be sure you are nice to May
son."' "Why ehould I ba so nice to himf
Why do you say so much about itl" I
asked.
"Because I am trying to put over a
