his rescue. Regardless of the risk of

Cling man, and, in his hurry, so those
who saw it say, grabbed his feet,
which were behaving themselves all
right, and, with a vigorous pull or
two, the keel was dragged over the

A POLITICAL REVIEW OF OREGON.

nority party.
The legislatures that have vigorous minority party hold
the majority responsible always corrupt and eXtravagan
The who is elected to the legislature Democrat and
then forms placid and probe alliance with the Republicans
is political traitor to the taxpayers.
This class of emascuaed mugwumps have been much
favor in Oregon and have been rewarded and for
their standing in with the punderbund that has systematically
robbed the taxpayers
That why the Democratic party has been nearly oberat
ed and it's organization practically abandoned
Under the bipartisan game political party does oppose
and and watch the other but the sharper elements stand
in and reward each other at public expense.
Those who have followed the do not believe that long
this there will be any cleanup dungng out of
the Eugene" stables in Oregon politics.
Under bipartisan ootng of the taxpayers party organizations
have down and party lines have been oerated to ac
tate the petty evry and personal enterprises of the gang
The Direct Primary law enacted in theory maintain
party organizations and provides county and state and precinct
party organizations but this has been ignored and parties
stroyed
That is why taxes have been steadily climbing higher and
the creations of the bipartisan game profit by it.

THAT is HE WAS GOING TO, BUT
AS THE TOP WAS NOT THERE
HE SAT ON - WHATEVER
THERE WAS TO SIT ON.

The seraphic smile worn by Sena-
tor John A. Carson all day is there

any victory in the courts or for good
work done in the legislature. Little
things like those are merely incidents

smile he wears, this way:
Yesterday afternoon he was stand
ing at the Bush corner talking to Mr..
La Toilette, when man came up the
street, who had been looking over
some barkeeper's head several times,
taking observations Through the bot
tom of glass. He perhaps did not
have too many in his own opinion,
perhaps not enough. He was not
you know-but his feet sort of lisped
just little. He reached the big
iron fountain that so beauties the
Bush corne Rand leaned up against
it, commune with himself, per-
haps. Anyway, he leaned. After a
minute or two his back being to the
tank, he placed his hands on the
rim and "hitched" himself up, intend
ing to sit on the top of the tank, not
realizing that, in Salem, the lid is not
very tight on lots of things. The in
tent was all right, and so was the
hitch. The middle portion of his
anatomy rose, swung backward be-
tween his rigid arms, and, well, there
was nothing, for it to alight on but
the water. He went in doubled up
like a pocket rule. His feet hung
over one edge, the back of his neck
rested on the other, and between the
two there was nothing visible-as a
stunt, most of it at this stage, was
out of sight 1t is hard enough to

DOCKSTADER
SETS new PACE
IN MINSTRELSY
ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL
ENTERTAINMENTS EVER GIVEN
IN SALEM WAS HIS FAMOUS
"BURNT CORK COMIC OPERA"
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Lew Dockstader and his famous
burnt-cork artists have come and
gone, leaving behind, them a mem
Ory Of one Of the most delightful en-
tertainments ever given in Salem.
The house was well filed, and 1t is
safe to say that If the show was to
be given again tonight nearly every
one who was there would see it
again-and there would not be stand
ing room. 1t is an entire departure
from the old style of negro min
strelsy. No bones no "tambour-
ine" at the ends with their loud guf-
flaws and open-faced grins. Indeed,
1t Is hard to say what kind of a
show Dockstader puts up, other than
that it is in a class of its own and
every feature the very best. 1t is
more nearly comic opera than any
thing else, and it certainly will an
swer to the comic part.
The special orchestra was remark
ably good and in the intermisslon af-
ter playing the Madame Sherry selec-
tion Every Little Movement Has a
Meaning All Its Own" was encored
so inslstently that the curtain was
held while the audience was delight
ed with selections from the Chocolate
Soldier, There was only two bad
features about the whole business.
The first was that the curtain did
not go up until nearly o'clock, the
program was "cut" somewhat and
consequently the final curtain came
too soon. This may be condensed
into one fault by saying the time was
too short between the first and final
curtain movements.
