THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER The campaign is over so far as the primaries are con cerned. While some of the candidates have made rather strenuous campaigns, there has been less general interest in the election than in any for years past. The heads of the ticket, .United States Senator and the governor, of course over-shadow all else, but there are some other pretty lively contests. Among these is the fight for state treasurer which has been a sort of six day go as you please, and over the results of which there is as wide a variance of opinion as there is over the governor and senator. Friends of the governor are positive he will come in ahead of his competitors but two or three of these are just as certain to win if the statements of their friends are accepted. By Saturday morning the results should be known unless the races are close, and under any reasonable conditions they are pretty certain to be settled bv Saturdav afternoon. As to the city election, it has been practically lost sight of in even the lagging interest in the state election, une of the features of the election is that voters in many precincts will have to vote at two polling places, and there is a large number who apparently do not know which ward they are in or which precinct. The Capital Journal gave a list of the polling places in a recent issue, and publishes the polling places for both city and state elec tions again today. . There are two other allies that may well profit by the fate of Austria. Bulgaria is needed by the kaiser just as Austria is to fill out the greater Germany, and add to the glory and power of the Hohenzollern family. Bulgaria will travel the same road Austria has traveled and will naturally reach the same destination. As for Turkey the kaiser will need it in his Berlin to Bagdad railroad schemes and it will be absorbed because no powers will be tolerated within striking distai.ee of the kaiser's dominions. Besides, as a world dominator the German war lord will demand control of the Dardanelles and the outlet to the Mediterranean and Black seas. He will wipe out the sultan as ruthlessly as hj has outraged all laws of warfare and of decency. Those two remaining allies of the kaiser will do well to quit him while the quitting is good, for if they do not they will share the fate of Austria. My SUCKing 10 mm Uiey lesson men cuaures ui aujr miiuk ike liberal treatment when the final settlement comes, and the longer peace is delayed through their aiding the junlcrs of Germany, the less they must expect when it comes to a show:down and they have t'o pay'the bill. May 15 marks a new era in the way of mail carrying. Mail was delivered by airplanes between the cities of New York and Philadelphia, a distance of 250 miles in three hours. In 18:?2 the citizens of those days celebrated the fact that mail was delivered between the same two cities in ?2 hours. This was done by a combination of steam boat, railroad and stage coach, and the speed attained averaged almost eight miles an hour. The speed in yes terday's delivery was 80 miles an hour or just ten times as fast. When in a few years people read of this incident end our boast of so far excelling our forbears they will smile at us while they get their mail over the same route in half the time. It will probably not be long before mail is delivered from New York City to Pacific Coast cities in 'AO hours, or in less time than it required 86 years ago to carry the mails from New York to Philadelphia. Germans probably acting for.' their government have ben trying to get hold of oil properties at Tampico for the purpose of hampering the allies. So far Carranza has had wisdom enough to keep clear of that entangle ment, and it is hoped he will continue to display the same good horse sense. Otherwise there will be something do ing before long the other side of the Mexican border. ' Oregon has established a reputation for not re-electing a republican governor and bids fair to run true to its reputation in the coming election. Emperor Carl, of Austria-Hungary is so no longer,) only in name, for the kaiser has jumped his job of bossing i iiiuugu nut jet, assuming wig uue. ii uie young eniperur ma not ioresee tnis ending of his empire he was indeed dull of comprehension. Every intelligent person keeping in toucn at all with the Luropean situation realized long ago that the only salvation for the dual empire was to turn against Germany. A year ago she could have made a separate peace, and had her autonomy saved for her, because with an open rupture Germany would not have dared attack her, especially while the allies were willing to help her, and she the allies. As it is her days of grace have slipped by, and her opportunity neglected then will never come again. If the allies win, the peace terms they will make with her will be drastic ones because of her truculent subserviency to the kaiser, and because of which she furnished the excuse for the war. If Germany wins the emperor will hold his crown at the will of the kaiser, and that will not be for long for it will be necessary to make the latter's dreams of a greater Germany come true mat Austria be absorbed.

WE TWO My cow is eating wholesome hay, and so am I; I've shooed all costly grub away, till peace is nigh; no highly seasoned food is mine, no roast confronts me when I dine; I do not hanker, yearn or pine for raisin pie. My cow, she eats the luscious grass, and so do I; I fill myself with garden sass, and make it fly; long since the sweetmeats I forsook; some wholesome , succotash I cook, and drink some water from the brook, that's extra dry. My cow devours no precious wheat, no more do I; like her I hooverize and eat plain oats 'and rye; by loiiowmg the iood board s rules my cow and I, and my two-mules, will help, as though with deadly tools, to make Teuts die. My cow, she runs and kicks her heels, and so do I; it's wonderful how good she feels, how blithe and spry; she has no use for roasts and steaks, for puddings, doughnuts, pies and cakes, and all the things me oaKer Danes, and that is why. My cow stands up i-gainst the rack, and so do I; we ew our fodder from the .stack, without a sigh; my cow has shown me what to eat, and I am nimble on my feet, I'm growing young, so help me Pete ; how's that for high ? -cssata .

"He couldn't leave Ms business," I replied car.-.'lcssly. "But it would be awfully nice to have Evelyn." "She's a good little scout," David broko in. "Iudecd she is!" Clark responded. "Ask her by all means. Or I will call her up in the morning." "We'll both ask her, then she'll be sure to go," I replirtl laughingly. After Clark left us, We resumed out game. I became so engaged that I failed to notice the hour, and was quite start I'd when the clock struck eleven. "Come on, David! It's time we went to bed!
