Simpson of Coos Bay was defeated in his race for governor, but he made a splendid fight and a showing of which anyone might well feel proud. Had he got in the race a month earlier instead of jtt the last minute the story might have been different the morning after elec tion. His campaign met with enthusiastic reception everywhere and the element of time was all he needed to bring him in ahead of the string. As it was he was but a few thousand votes behind Oloott and had half the vote given Withycombe. The latter had everything in his favor and his manager whoever ho was surely did some fine political work. Besides, the governor has been de voting most of his time since the last election in building up a machine to re-elect him. He Knit a strong one, and it carried him through. His defense of Kerr, by his re fusal to expose him or to act in the interest of the state by refusing to grant him a $1,400 raise of salary, made Kerr and his strong machine solid for him, its appointees as county agricultural agent3 whom the county courts pay and Kerr appoints, missed no opportunity to work as diligently at least for the re-election of the governor as they did in the interest of the farmer. On top of all the well circulated falsehood that the "boys in France wanted him had a great effect. No doubt some of the boys in the trenches, favored Withycombe, just as the citizens at home did, but there was no grear. demand for his re election coming from them. It was a clever bit of political trickery and it helped. It remains to be seen if he can run the second heat as well. . - by Walt Mason f 'X, 1 i THE HATRED STUNT They tell us not to hate the Teut but rather pity the galoot And when this grisly war was young, some rhynes along that line I sprung; I said that hatred is a crime, and boomed a charity sublime. I fear I'm not so saintly now: I have no halo on mv brow. There's so much evidence that Teuts are heartless and inhuman brutes who butcher I cniJdren with their blades, and strike down dotards, wives and maids, that I can't love them as I should, if I were really, truly good. I cannot say, "Their hearts are right, though like the cheapest sports they fight." mat was me line i tooK at first, ere I swore Su1, hverwurst; I said the poor chaps were misled, by Withelm, with his willow head, by r II the military hordes who strut around with clanking swords. "The Teut him- seii, i used to say, "is but a sentimental jay, who's fond si. inuaic, art ana song, ana dreams mild dreams the whole uyiong' ' Now' donnerblitzen and gee whiz, we've seen the Teuton as he is, the Visigoth of ancient time, come back to wade in lust and crime. I cannot bid my doubts depart, and take the ruffin to my heart. I hate him quite as much as he, in his cheap way, is hating me. Perhaps 1 11 see his points again when he gets done with slaying men, but now I loathe the bloody skate, so please excuse me while ! hate. .WALT MAO SOME IGNORER ITSELF "The campaign having come to a close and the war news being stale, dull and unprofitable, we find casual diversion in the antics of the mad mullah of the Capital Journal." So says the Oregonian and after quoting an editorial from the Journal criticising it, it adds in con cluding its effort: "But the Salem writer is happiest when he may deal only with his. strange fancies and vicious prejudices and ignore fact?." The last sentence coming from the editor of the Oregonian is the limit. Ignoring facts is the special prerogative of the Ahkoond of bwat, who reigns supreme under the big tower. An example of this is still fresh in the jliblic mind when after putting up a job to help President Kerr of the 0. A. C. get his salary increased $1,400 a year, or at least being responsible through its news columns for the movement, it suddenly became as silent as the tomb concerning the matter when the camouflage was torn aside and the dirty trickery exposed. It ignored this damning fact from the time it was made public, and has never mentioned it since that time nor has it answered charges that it was con nected with the scheme. The trouble with the leading writer of the Oregonian is that he has the autocratic traits of the kaiser, and the system of terrorism employed by the Huns, of making itself feared by the balance of the state press by ruthless, sneaking submarine tactics. It fires its torpedo and dives to hide under its own silence. t The Woman Who Changed I 'So By JANE PHELPS IN NEW YORK Jess Willard has gone back to his farm and there is no fight in him. He is the most thorough fake champion that ever wore the belt and risgraced the title. What a differ ence between such a "champion" a, id Sullivan, Sam Lang ford, Dempsey, Corbett or Johnson. These were not afraid to defend their title and were ready to meet all comers at any time. Willard has dodged ever since win ning on a fluke and he is still dodging. The democratic ticket was short and easily voted. In this county there was not a candidate for any office below the governor until that of justice of the peace was reached. Oswald West wants a campaignless election. Why not go the limit and make it voteless. LADD & BUSH, Bankers Second Installment of Twenty Ter Cent on Third Liberty Bonds will be due May 28, 1918. CHAPTER -LXXXII. We traveled at night. George had to be in Morelunds in three days, so he said we would aave timo that way Tpou our arrival, he took ua to the Holland House, a Fifth Avenue hotel and 'installed ua ia lovely rooms on thr fouith floor. Tlw?n he said: "Have a good time go where you please. Shop a little, if you want to. I'll try aud spend the evenings with you, but I won't be able to see vou through the day. Vou better handle the eash David, if you are to be the escort," ho handed David a roll of bills thu' made the boy 'g eyes pop. "You don't expert us to spend nil this?" he asked. "1 uh:M li.. surprised ' if vou don't need more," (Jeovge replied in the ton.c he always used when speaking of niouey. "As though it didn't amount to shucks," Duvid once suid. We started right out, David and I We visited the museums; iye roda on the buses; we lunehed at Sherry's; and then we took a taxi and drove through the park, Whou wo reached our own hottl. at five o'eloek, we wera so tired we could hurdly speak. I found a note on the dresser. "I shan't be able to join you, to night. I have left theatre tiekets for you at the news stand." Dinner In The Room . "David!" 1 called. "Com.' in here a minute. " "What is it f" ' I "George can't be with us, but ho hut left theatre tiekets for us. Let's hnv.i dinner up here, then we won't have to hurry to dress." "That's the idea. W,'ll eat now then take our time hnndsoming up. I wonder if he has a box, again f " "Cull down and have the tickets sent up, and we'll see. If ho hasn't, we won't fuss very much oh, yes we better," I ndoVd, "we might see some of liif friends and he wouldn't liko it if I wasn't properly dressed." "Just as you say, His. I think it is silly to tog out liko thnt, when it' just you nnd me. Hut von 're the doc tor. " ' I We had just tlip nicest, contest din nor imaginable. We ordered just whnt wo lilted, with total disregard for the fituess. George hint given as his reason for going to the Holland House, tfiat it had a good cuisine, even though it was an old house. Wp each had two dinlies of ice cream after we finished, then w started to get dressed. Wo had plenty of time, and were rested bcause of the comfortable way we had had our dinner. About five minutes U'tore wo started, the telephone rang ami uoorgo tola me: "I'll try and come for you, Helen after the play, and we will go to some gay place for supper." "You see how right I was to dress," I Mid to David, after I put down the toicpiiont "tteorge would hav been fur ious if I hadn't." "He gets 'furious' pretty often doesu't set" "No not very often." 'Ha you ever asked him, Sis, who the woman was he had with him, the day he passed us in the carf " "No. He has been so nice, since, I had about forgotten it. I think I know who she wsfi I may ask him some dav, I don't kuow." "You're a fuecr little girl, Sis. You 've changed dreadfully in aom wavs." "Dread fully I" I laughed. "Oh. you know what I mean. You ar. so careless of what George does and says. You didn't used to be that wav with us bovs. " I see." After tbtt Theatre. Wo had two good seats in the eiehth row in the orchestra. The olav was love jly a musical extravaganza.' David en joyca it innnep.sely. George was wait ing for us uud'took us to the Palais Royal to see th6 cabaret. Neither Da vid or I had ever seen anything at all into it. it seemed so otld to have Bueh a big show where people supposedly wont for food. The place was packed and when th0 people at tho tablos danc ed, I begged Gcorg,-) to let me (iauce. either with hnn or David. ' ' No, you will not' danco in any pub lie place," ho said so sternly that it al most brought the tears to mv eves.-Hi had really been so-. kind for two days that I felt the sting in his tone mow than 1 did when ho was consistently severe. "He don't make you do what please him, or anything," David remarked us George left us a moment to speak to an acquaintance a i man accompanied by the loveliest woman I ever had seen. "That woman's a lolly-pop!" David said, following my look. "What a name for a woman!" I laughed. "She's lovely!" "A lolly-pop's sweet, and she's sweet enough to eat. So .what 's tho matter with tlw name?" . "What a lovely woman!" I said to George, when he returned. "She is as charming as lovely, ' said. I knew h meant her manner, (Tomorrow Sight Seeing Again) West Proposes Campaign Without Any Campaip By Oswald West - Democratic Nominee for U. S. Senate Th light ete east at the recent primaries should convince, any one wi:i a reasonable amount of intelli gence that questions of far deeper mo ment than the ambitions of anr can didate for office are commanding the auction ana tuougnt ot the great mass ot tne people. The thought and activities ef tie people are centered on winning the war for they are fast coming to a full re&luatian of what a failure of our arm. would mean. They are rightfully demanding loyalty and patriotism to" the fullest measure. First Duty Owed Country Thoee who have gone to the front and are offering their lives on the field of battle have a right to demand ttud obtain, from those of us who, by reason of age or other causes, hava Wen left at home every possible aid and assis:ance. in view of this we should so regulate our activitcs as to render the best possible service to onr country, our flag and our president. Mo candidate for office can free himself from this obligation and it should gov ern his eondm-t in the campaign.

While of the opposite political faith, we have been lifelong friemds and al though a chain of circumstances his made us opposing candidates for the. samo high office I am sure neither wishes to ride in the glittering char iot of success over the fragments of a shattered friendship. Neither Can Afford Campaign A long and active campaign calls for sacrifices in time, money and health, which neither of us can well afford. The time and money had bet ter be spent in other directions. When I dollars aro so baidly needed to care for our sick and wounded on the field of battle, it seems almost criminal to scatter them to the winds in a polit ical campaign. We have both served THE BLEMISH "Hermione," said her mother earn estly, "I entreat you not to marry that man.

Let us be able to report no receipts or expenditures, cither by our selves or by our friends. To this end let us do away with personal campaign headquarters and political malingers, ai'ao with advertising and speechmak ing. Such an arangement would leave the senator frco to devote his entire time to his senatorial duties and me to engage in some war activity. We both would thus be rendering the best possible service to our country Should this proiposal meet with ap proval at tho hands of the senatotr, 1 will be pleased to join in carrying it out.
