The HORRORS oE SPORT.

One of the most curious books pub
lished is that entitled "The Horrors OF
Sport" And curious is 1t not because
of it's theme, but of its authorship. The
foremost shot among English women,
Lady Florence Dixie, has abandoned
hunting entirely, and published a pam
phlet bearing the title above quoted.
Lady Florence is no novice in the
sport, her husband was an ardent
hunter while she herself was an en-
thusiast to the extent that she would
rent a Scottish moor or deer forest
for her own use. Her friends called
her the female nimrod, and her din
ing room was hung with the trophies
Of her skill She has killed lions in
Africa, gazelles in Arabia and bears
in the Rockies. And now the so-styled
nimrod has published a book in which
she says: MANY a keen sportsman
will acknowledge that a feeling of
self-reproach has at times come over
him as he stood by the dying victim
Of his skill. l know that it has con-
fronted me many and many a time. |
have ended with the sharp yet merci-
ful knife, the dying sufferings of crea-
lures that never harmed me. l, too,
have witnessed the angry, defiant
glare Of the wild beasts fading sight,
as death deprived him of the power to
wreak his vengeance on the human
being that had taken his free life. The
memory of those scenes brings no
pleasure to my mind. On the contrary
IL haunts me with a cruel reproach.

HOW BRoWNELL THREW DOWN
GEER.

GEER.
No fact has been better known for
year past than that the people of
Clackamas county we're overwhelming
ly in favor of the denomination of
Governor Geer, fully as much so as
those of Marion county. During his
repeated visits to Salem since the ad-
journment of the last legislature, Sen
ator Brownell at all times assured the
governor that so far as he knew there
was not a dissenting voice in his coun.
ty against his denomination, and as
sured him not only of the support of
Clackamas county in the state conven-
tion but of his own support under all
circumstances
On account of these assurances Gov
ernor Geer kept his hands off the poll.
tical machinery of that county, rely
ing all the time on Brownells prom
ises, although his friends here repeat
edly warned him that It was done only
to throw him down. But the governor
/ replied that Brownell had never de-
ceived him, no matter what might be
said by others, and that as there could
be no mistake about the sentiment OF
the county, he would rely on Brown.
| ell.
The result is known. Brownell
dominated the county convention, Geer
was thrown overheard, was defeated
! for a denomination and the desire OF
the people of his county suppressed in
the interest of a trade by means OF
which they are offered instead of the
farmer governor, a banker of Pendle
ton, unknown to anybody save as q
professional organizer" and fee grab
Der.
Only a short time before the state
convention Brownell while in Salem
again assured the governor that
Clackamas county could be relied up
on to loyaly support him, that there
would be no opposition to him what
ever, and that his own support could
be depended upon under all circum
! stances.
The result Is known. The people Of
Clackamas county were thrown down
in their choice for governor, the same
as brownell has thrown down every
body else who ever had anything to dc
with him, and they are called upon tc
vote for man that up TO a few
months ago. nine-tenths of them had
never heard Of This is Brownell pol
itics.
Since the convention Governor Geer
has frequently said that he owes his
defeat to the deception and unrelia
bility Of Brownell. He never came
TO the Geer headquarters in Portland
to consult about the thing he had
promised to do, and what was more
could not be found by the governors
friends who desired TO remind him OF
his promises and Of the expectations
of his people.
With the support OF Brownell and
the Clackamas county delegation, add
ed to what was already assured
the governor would have gone into
the state convention with strong
chances for success. The lack of il
persuaded his friends that the effort
would be useless and so Brownellism
was triumphant and Governor Geer
was retired from the public service.
