MAYOR Pennoyer, of Portland, in
accordance with promise, made after
he was elected, has returned to the City
Treasury one-half of his salary for the
six months he has been in office, a
course he intends to pursue the whole
term. The Republicans, who have
always regarded him as CRANK"
now think he is fool. They cannot
reconcile q voluntary surrender OF
pudding" in any shape as consistent
with reason.

The Senator.

The following sensible article on the
Great question now before the Lcgi,la-
ture, Is copied from the Tacoma Union.
Til" peoples party legislature OF this
state should not fail to elect a man IL
the high Office oi United States Senator
VII" VIII command the respect OF the
ableSt men "f the country who will lie
ms colleagues. He should be a man OF
brains and ability oi high order. He
should hc able to cross swords with the
ablcst men in the United States Senate
and he should be- a credit and an honor
not only to this State i'll particular
but To the entire country in general.
Washington should send Il man to
the United States Senate who would
from his first appearance upon the
1loor OF the Senate command the adj
mlratlon and confidence and applause
OF the progressive reform elements of
every State and territory in the Union.
lie should not be man of merely
mediocre abilities. He should be as
the grandcst and mighticst of the
mighty frs of Washington. We have
great trees, the greatest in the
world. We also have some great and
good men. We should send forth the
strongest and grandcst senatorial
timber the State affords. Attention
should be given to the man and not to
political maneuvcrs.
And always and at all times the
hard, common-ScnSc practical fact
should not be forgotten or overlooked
that We as L State are Judged largely
outside Of the State by our repre-
scntativcs in Congress.
HOLD ON, BOYs!-At the rate at
which clcrkships have been created in
both branches Of the State Legislature
and supcrnumeraries appointed, the
prestige for economy, claimed but not
yet won, though very generally con-
coded Especially to the Populist wing
Of the triplc-alliance, from their loud
and oft repeated profesSions), will have
been dissipated into thin air long be-
fore the roll call on the final morn of
the session. The Republicans have
already Il Mephisto grin upon their
lately down-cast countcnanccs, and
some of the more impulsive Faber-
pushers have INDUCED in ordinations
that were much more suggestive of
cOntentment than policy under the
probability that the majority party
would tumble" and put on the
brakes. So far very little difference
has been shown in the voracity of par
ties or fidelity to promises made as a
for votes. 1t may not yet
be too late to secure proper showing,
but it will involve more thought, for
bearance and sacrifice than has yet
been manifested.

thirty years ago. A journey from
Olympia to Portland in anti-railroad
times cost from $l5 to 1925 for fare
alone, according to the time of year
and condition of the roads. Two
days were consumed in the quickest

The heroism of the deed can be appre-

accident long ago deprived Mr.. Buras
of one of his arms. With only n

and the stump of the other, he plunged

An italian brigand having died after
a most notorious and remarkable career,
even for q man in his profession, his
brain was given to q scientist for exam
ination in order to discover, if possible,
whether there was any difference be-
tween it and the honest, or normal,
brain. After exhaustive experiments
the professor in charge was forced to
admit that he could find nothing abnor-
NAL about the brain structure.
According to al known laws on the
subject, the man was possessed Of great
ability, and, the professor says, might
have been . great man. AS the brigand
was a murderer. a thief and Il bad lot
generally, it Would seem that the fact
Of there being no abnormal conditions

the much discussed subject of brain
structure. Some time since q suggestion
was made that Intelligent people and
