Patriotism has invaded the kitchen
and it is no longer possible to get
"roast beef Spanish in the restaur-
ants.
One Of the worst horrors Of the war
is the advent Of the "Iar button"
II resembles the cigarette button 50
much in vogue some time ago,
The trouble is not with the Wood
burn poet-it's with the infation' of
Postmaster Tooze to the point where
something had TO explode.
The advocacy Of the free and unlin-
tied coinage Of silver in 1894 by the
Hon. Thomas Fl. Tongue is causing
the goldbug organs to do lot Of eI-
planning. Its only case Of too much
Tongue.
Bob Veatch is the one man Bob
Hendricks is after. He isn't going 10
praise Geer too highly, because some
one might pull his files on him when
he was running Geer into the ground
and breaking him OF.
The JOURNAL was popular In times
af peace. The subscription books Of
The JOURNAL show that the people
Of Oregon are not slow to appreciate
a superior war news service. First in
peace, first Ia war, etc.
Robbie Hendricks has almost as
many party positions Of trust as
Waite ToOzie. Waite is ahead just
now, and ribbons are not as becoming
to Bobbie; but Bobbie will do some
thing to catch up.
The public enjoys the neck and neck
race for the asylum superintendency
under Geer between Drs. Cusick and
Richardson. Both were notably red
hot in their absence at the primar-
les, however.
THE JOURNAL is not going TO fight
Spain alone and sirgle-handed, as it
knows Ed. Judd would il he got a
chance, but it will put up its readers
against the readers Of any paper in
the world for being patriotic to the
core. Our only hope is that the war
horse Of AumsYille is not among
1 them.
a man who has been mayor and is
now postmaster Of WOODBURY., who
presides oyer precinct, county and
state conventions, who nominates,
introduces, notifies, certifies and
lionizes every man on the county and
state ticket of his party, and wears
all the ribbons, medals and badges on
earth ought not have poetry written
about himself,
-
or course, it would be waste OF
time for Mr., Geer to accept the chal
lenge OF the Union committee to de-
bate with Mr.. King. Mr.. Geer has
never yet spoken in some of the COW
counties and they are suffering TO
hear him.
The weakness Of the naval bureau
OF McKinley's administration is
pity illustrated in the Somers Incl
dent, Even novice in warfare would
have had the torpedo boat removed
from Falmouth long before neutral
ity DEGREES was thought OF by Great
Britain. Great men, some OF McKin-
ley's advisers!
Because Mr.. Geer is going To confine
his campaign TO the ''cow counties"
1t must not be understood that he is
coward. 1t takes a brave man TO
force the people in company with the
Mitchell push. Mr.. Geer's committe
acted wisely..in cOndning him to the
COW counties, where he has not been
heard. After all that is said, Mr.
Geer is an easy talker, has a vein OF
humor, musical voice, and consid- /
cradle ability.

The very saddest incident that mas /
grown out OF the Spanish war trouble. /
is the downfall Of young Jack Logan,
who aspired 10 lead the Illinois troops
In Cuba. The unpleasant notoriety
this degenerate sou OF a noble sire
gained by wearing his fathers medals
at the coronation OF the car, gave
the country safety OF a portion OF
the present Logan generation.
IL was cruel OF the Oregonian TO
publish large picture OF Oregon's
war governor, aud the extended array
OF his war record, after the Republi-
can convention howled itself hoarse
