STATEMENT NO. 81.

Over in the state of Washington
it is not Statement No. l" or state
ment No. q" but it is statement No.
81 and it is causing a "divll of a
row." too, in state politics.
The new primary law pledge called
statement No. 81, binding candidates
for legislative offices to support the
party choice of their constituents for
United States senators and this is
causing more. confusion than state
ment No. 1 or the popular choice
ever caused in Oregon.
In Washington the democrats count
for nothing and the entire senatorial
fight is confined to rival republican
factions. So the chief point at issue
is whether legislators will recognize
the party choice for senator, or enter
a free-for-all fight, with the big sack
and the machine cato -nlne-tails as
the chief factors in the selection of a
senator.
The rival factions would much
rather have a free-for-all fight and
are afraid candidates will subscribe
to statement No. 81 to support the
choice Of the party voters of the state.
Neither Ankeny or Jones care to trust
the people in the senatorial election
and so both factions are secretly
arrayed against the party choice, and
wish to settle the matter in the old
way in the legislature.

WHY THE EDITOR SWoRE.

With a terrific cold in his head,
And the eyellds heavy and sore,
The editor sat in a broken chair
And bitterly, earnestly swore.
A youth had dropped in with a poem
A man was there with a dun,
A chap had entered to tell him
How the paper ought to be run.
An irate subscriber had told him
That his sheet wasn't fit to be read
While another had carefully promised
To punch the editors head.
The foreman was yelling for copy,
And the wind blowing in at the
door
And this. with a few other reasons,
Is why the editor swore.
But the angel who took 1t to heaven
Recorded his verdict there:
"The jury will find in the present case
Twas a justlfiable swear"

And the curlews' crying
Comes softly as an echo from the
far white strand.

Out where the dusk is falling,
Out where the waves are rolling
DER the long. low sand.
1 do not heed the calling
Out where the dusk is falling,
For I know we'll the dead can moi

A New Sofa Cushion

A innovation in typography has Just
II been introduced which adds much
4 to the beauty of the work. Suede
or leather is burnt and cut into designs.
and colored satin or tapestry is fastened
to the back. This gives a brighter look
to the whole work. and relieves the
solid leather effect.
A beautiful sofa cushion is made in
brown suede burnt in some flower de-
sign A large diamond Is cut from the
center Of the leather and a mull-colored
tapestry is fastened to the back. SO that
the colors are set in the dark leather
like jewel.
This idea is carried out in leather
boxes and picture frames, in these
bright green and red satin being used.
The result of the combination Is rarely
beautiful. and 1t at once overcomes the
oft expressed objection to decorated
leather, 1T is too dark and plain"

waist has come to remain little
while at least. sets OF jade. ame-

are being shown in the shops. The sets
include cuff links. studs and scarfpins,

1t is a relief after the Oriental finery
OF the last season to look forward to
little tailored simplicity in spring shop
ping and walking costumes. Let gowns
for special occasions be as elaborate as
they may. nothing can take the place Of
the correct tailor suits adopted by the
American girl as her own.
Paris may so mad over some new ex-
travagance. wear her shoes two or three
sizes too long. so that her feet will show
under her long drapery. or she may
adopt the flowing lines of tea gown for
an afternoon drive In the Bois de

ways modify each fashion By her desire
