PuzzING. INDEED.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
doesn't seem to know whether 1t has
discovered a coIored gentleman
among the cordwood or a jIg-saw puz-
zle in the Oregon primary situation,
and gives every one a free guess on
the answer. 1t sums up it's suspicious
like this:
I'm Oregon the Republican vote at
the recent state primary already ex-
ceeds the highest former total at any
election, while the Democratic total
has dwindled to surprisingly small fig
ures. The inevitable inference is that
many thousand Oregon Democrats
voted in the primary for Roosevelt or
LaFollette, as it is not to be supposed
that they supported Taft. Nor was
LaFoHette their favorite. The figures
tell a peculiar story. On incomplete
returns the vote of Oregon at last
weeks primary was Roosevelt 25,391,
LaFoIlette 2O,194, Taft 1879, total
of 69.SO4. The Democratic total was
Wilson 6,3s7, Clark 5,493, Harmon
500, a total of only 12,47o. What has
become of the usual Democratic vote,
and why has the Republican vote
mounted beyond the highest mark of
the past?
ut is something new for primary
vote to be larger than that of presi-
Dental years In 1908 the vote of
Oregon was Taft $3.50, Bryan 49,
O49. The Democrat elected governor
in Oregon in 1910 received total
vote of 54,S53, and the Republican
candidate 4S,751. Tafts vote in 1908
was the highest cast by Republicans
in Oregon until this remarkable state
primary of 1912 broke the record. Re
publican votes are still piling up as
additional returns come in, while
Democratic votes in the primary are
shown to have been phenomenally
few.
Democratic organs take pleasure in
announcing that Roosevelt is break
ing up the Republican party. But
the state primary returns in oregon,
Nebraska, Illinois, and wherever pres
idential primaries are held, ought to
awaken them to the fact that the
disorganizing influences are not con-
fined to one party. If votes are what
count the Democratic party has rea-
son to view the situation with alarm.
A state primary in which party lines
are crossed by men who vote one way
in April and the other way in NO
vember is not the voice of the people,
but a fraudulent stimulation. There
is a great deal more in the state pres
idential primary returns than Demo-
cratic organs have yet discovered"

EVENING CHIT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON

Mental suffering is just as bad as
physical suffering
How few of us there are who have
never uttered that bromidiom; and how
very few who have never denied our real
ization of its meaning by our actions.
A young man of our neighborhood, the
only son of devoted mother, was called
to distant city a few months ago by his
business. Now this young fellow is ap
pafentiy rather nearer the measure Oh
man than the average, and there is no
doubt that he loves his little mother. But
he does not like to write letters, and
again and again he fails to send the
mother. Sometimes it comes several days
late; sometimes, not at all. Now appeal
to anyone who has ever waited for the
letter that didn't come, is there any keen
er mental torture than such waiting? The
alternaations of hope and despair, the
futile efforts not to expect it by this mail,
and the sick disappointment when tn ,
postn1an passes by, proving that after all
you did expect it, the innumerable mis-
givings as to what is the cause of the de-
lay-an together, these things wear a per-
son out as much as hard work or physical
illness. and yet all this has the young man
made his mother go through, again and
again, in the few months which he has
been absent from her. If he saw his
mother in physical pain, know he would
be very much grieved and as for himself
causing her to suffer physical pain-weil,
he would be as much Mortified at that
mother and loves her. And yet, doubt
less, he has sometimes Said-even as you
and I-"mental suffering is just as bad as
physical suffering
why didn't you telephone me when
you found you would have to be so later"

Nobody likes to see suffering. Doubt
less. part of the reason that we are SO in

the mental suffering that we inflict, is
that we do not often actually witness it.

SAYS UNCLE CIV

Before you condemn the bowler,
make sure what kind of noise he is
making. This earth is no good place
for the habitual fault finder. He is
only in the way. But the intelligent
bowler has his uses, and one of them
is to keep you and me from going to
seed Another is to keep down abuses
in the body social. Whatever kind
of noise the bowler makes, it isn't
pleasant. He is constantly getting on
somebody's nerves. He is always
waking up somebody who wants to
sleep. There are a lot of careless folk
on earth who are alive neither to their
own interests nor to the public inter
est, who simply have fits when the
bowler begins to howl.
The twelve apostles were branded
howlers. So was Luther and so was
Wesley. So were Patrick Henry and
Lincoln and every other reformer,
right or wrong, since the beginning of
time. Kickers they were. against the
mentum engendered by the impact
Of their feet upon those established
orders is still unspent
It's all right to howl, son, if you
have something to howl about.
If you've become convinced that
something's rotten in Denmark and
there is need of a shakeup, don't hes
itate to use your voice or your No. 9.
You'll be called a disturber of the
peace, an meter of riots, an enemy
of society and a few other unpleasant
things, some of which will be true, but
you must make up your mind to take
your medicine before you undertake
to pull up ancient error by the roots
and throw it out into the sunshine of
truth to die. A few stray brickbats,
tin cans and decayed vegetables may
come your way, and that also is part
of the game, and you must learn to
dodge everything but the issue before
you begin to play.
Finally, If you have courage, are
right, and keep out of JAIL the crowd
will swing your way. There never was
a martyr yet who wouldn't have been
crowned if he had been given time
enough to present his case to all the
people. We are not gentle with those
who bawl our shortcomings from the
housetops, but blessed is the bowler,
just the same. He keeps the world
sane and keeps it moving. We'd have
gone to seed long ago if it hadn't
been for his leather lunged breed

Roosevelt himself issued as an execu-
tive order while he was president.
That after he had ordered the suit
filed, Roosevelt stopped the prosecu-
ton of the international Harvester
trust, and that his change of heart
came after a secret session with
George w. Perkins@the same Perkins
who has just contributed 100000 to
the fund to help boost "the foe of the
trusts" into a third term.
Also. that E. H. Hartman passed
the hat in 1904 at Roosevelt's request,
and raised 100000 toward the slush
fund to retain Theodore in the posi-
ton he inherited from the martyred
Mckinley. The Vanderbilts, Chauncey
