One Of the most humorous demo-
cratic editorial efforts yet put forth
in this very unusual and at times
most amusing campaign, Is one con-
trasting the public work of Senator
Sorah with that of the governor of
this bully stale Of ours, to the ever
lasting undo,ng OF the senator. The
article is written in prose meter and
winds mp each paragraph with .auda-
tory remarks on what Jim Hawley
has done for the farmer" Here is a
sample OF one paragraph: while
Bonah was mailing out from Washing
ton beautiful theories of government.
Jim Hawley was standing the brunt
Of the fight In his efforts to be of
material help to the man on the
land" While Borah was making
hay for the trusts. Jim Hawley was
helping make hay for the farmer"
Ye gods, wouldn't that wiring scald-
ing tears from the eyes of a potato:
or better still. cabbage head? Just
where all this sacrificial offering In
the interest of the farmer took place,
Is not vouchsafed; but II Jim Hawley

true and could then succeed in get

Of mind. he could continue to run

The great prosperity of the states
of Washington. Oregon and Idaho has
been thoroughly demonstrated by the
unusual success OF the various fairs
and autumn events that have been
and are now being held In these states
The displays show not only that the
yields are bigger and better than
ever. but that the scope OF agricul.
ture, dairying and industry has
widened. The attendance at the fairs
has been greater than ever. and the
crowds were happier and the spirit of
optimism is apparent everywhere
