Please Tell Because of the pressure of business, Senator Miles Poin- dexter, of Washington, will be unable to make a personal Be canvass in the Oregon primary campaign. For that reason | he has withdrawn his name from the: ballot. Which should seem to satisfy all parties concerned. But there is always the Inquisitive Chap who arises to kill the joy in anybody's presidential dreams, And he wonders as follows, to-wit: — conduct a personal campaign? He was the only candidate who made such a canvass in South Dakota—and ran last. How does it happen that the other candidates, Hiram permit their names to stay on the Oregon ballot altho none of them will make a personal campaign? Can it be that our fearless “native Son” fears a popular ballot? Oh, Miles, oh, Miles, what be the answers to these? ee It is announced that all European nations are pleased | a by the Turkish treaty.. Few laymen knew there was enough of Turkey to please them all, It Is Strange; But It’s the Law | Bluebeard, confessing to the murder of four wives, is | given a life sentence. One can only speculate as to what might have happened had he confessed to the murder of only one wife. Perhaps he would have had to hang. And if he had confessed, not merely to four, but to a dozen fine and a reprimand. | _ Not that we crave f¢t the noose around Bluebeard’s neck. But we can recollect the great state of California hanging Marrow. And we can only wonder why a veteran criminal murderer should be spared. | We wonder all the more because at this moment a 19- _ youth in our own state faces the gallows; a youth is guilty of a cold-blooded murder, but a youth just the same—a boy, who is not steeped in crime as Bluebeard who has a chance, no doubt, in proper environment, to eda a man instead of a beast. ' But the state demands the blood of young Isom White. And Bluebeard escapes. The reason statesmen have lost their nerve is because cannon fodder shows signs of doing a little thinking for itself. [ Stale Meat—Fresh Service W. Burnham, 1620 Fourth ave. W., Seattle, is a who knows what he wants. He wants fresh meat,! instance, when he pays his good cash for it. He bought some the other day at one of the markets— | and part of it was “unfit for human consumption,” as the) lawyers put it in the statutes. _ So Burnham called up the sanitary division of the city / department. He told somebody—whose name he -not learn—what had occurred. “Well,” drawled the man on the other end of the phone, go back there and demand your money back. If they "t give ‘t back to you, we'll maKe ‘em.” “But,” protested Burnham, “I didn’t call you up to get My money back. I'll be able to do that, all right. But I t you would be interested in preventing the sale of unfit meat rather than act as a collection agency for those who get stung.” At which the chap on the other end of the phone got peeved. _ Isn't it great to Jive, in the glorious springtime? Do your Mother Day letter writing early. Next Sun- day is Mother's Day. | When Cleo Dined | Cleopatra may have dined on tongues of humming birds. She may have dissolved a pearl for drink. But nothing on hher table equaled for quality and delicacy what may be in almost any market in the United States. and for the first time heard it described. The nectar of flowers. Sweetness gathered in infinitesimal portions from myriad blossoms until there is enough to fill a spoon, or on bread. A dish of humming-bird tongues is a crude, unimagina- tive dish compared to that. More costly? Yes. But cost Never was a true test of value. In this, as in many othter instances, the finest thing is relatively cheap. The world Provides no more fanciful dainty than that which is cs ae for any one who keeps a hive of bees in his dooryard. Lucullus, Roman constl, is said to have brought fruits to his table from a great distance. He is said to have introduced the cherry tree into Europe. But no fruit he could obtain equaled the fruit which Modern farming has developed. All his wealth and power could not get him such an apple ‘hs can be bought for a _ few cents in almost any market hereabouts in 1920. As a matter of fact, there would be no trouble in the world if nobody tried to boss anybody else. The supreme court has handed down another decision on the income tax law. The august body holds that taxes must be paid on cash dividends of a mutual life insurance 'y to its policy holders. e other day the court held that stock dividends paid _to stockholders in corporations are not taxable. Somehow or other the court always seems to find that the law requires the’little fellow to pay up and allows the big fellow to escape. It would be a pretty safe bet that nine out of ten average meh in the street would say, if asked, that justice—not law —required the direct reverse of the two decisions actually But 50 long as nine elderly gentlemen, not responsible in any way to the ple, are permitted to have the ultimate gay in what shall be the law, decisions like these may be Still, a candidate should have some other qualifications _ besides his ability to cuss radicals, _ Allied statesmen don’t really care what happens to i , Just so the other fellow doesn't benefit by it.
