"a Lucky Hoodoo," the musical
comedy in which Billy B. Van, the
Beaumont Sisters and their company
appear, at the Lyceum all next week,
starting Sunday matinee, secures its
name from Latin quotation: "homo
infaustus." One of the characters,
raging over the antics of "Steve
GALL" the property man, played by
Van, rises in anger to hurl this re-
buke after him.
The scene is the stage of vaude-
vile house at rehearsal and the other
actors take up the saying. The rep
etition of the title fails to clear up
its meaning and Steve doesn't know
whether to be angry or not. But

THE LAST CHAPTER

glowing stories about orange and
lemon ranches in California and seem
to have an idea that an orange ranch
is something richer, more beautiful
and more conducive to wealth and
long life of ease and comfort. And
so they are-provided, however
that you may sit down in the shade
and watch the other fellow work, but
if the Ohio farmer worked -
w-o-r-k-e-d-hi farm as the ranch
man works his orange groves-con-
tinuously- every month of the en-
tire year-these Ohio farms would
be as rich and smell as sweet as the
California orange groves.
Don't get discouraged, my farmer
friend. When you get better state
than good old Ohio, you will find it
necessary to locate in the ancient
Garden of Eden, or Paradise Lost"

continent of ours and gazed with rap
ture upon it's wondrous beauty and
wealth of opportunity it offers the
man of ambition. Through the
broad eXpanse of farming land in
northwestern Canada where the sub
iects of King George V are constant
ly holding out every possible induce
ment to obtain brain and brawn from
the States; have beheld the beauties
of the Canadian Rockies whose peaks
and canyons seem to have style of
beauty all their own; from Seattle's
loftiest heights, have looked with
pleasure upon that city of wonderful
growth and opportunity with its ma
jestic Mt. Hood in the distance.

length of sunny California, stopping

Shasta Springs and viewed with ad-
miration old Mt. Shasta, that mag
nificent pile of rock and forest,
reaching its snowy summit up into
the sky; followed the trail of steel

was enjoyable and in many ways
proved instructive and gave me a
broader, deeper knowledge of "my

VAT IFH an possible friendlmess to George II Hall
wv the Republican candidate for Representative in
Congress, we wish to say that the interests Of the
Republican marty and the people Of our state demand
that the Republican State Committee take up with
him for serious and immediate consideration the
question whether he should not file his resig-
nation at the earliest possible moment TO the
end that man who viii DO acceptable TO
hoih the Republicans and the National Progressive
Republicans may be nominated in his stead to run
against Free Trader Bfockson, the Democratic nom-
nee The substitution SHOULD be made before the end
OF this week that the only great point of irritation
between the Republicans and the National Progress
siYo republicans may be removed and both organiza-
tons left free 40 combat the common enemy in our
State.
Mir. Hall is good man. We have nothing what
ever 20 say against Him We approved of his nom
wished him God-speed in the political race. Il we
thought at this time that by remaining ia the field
be could defeat the National Progressive canddate
Louis A. Drexer, the Sucker Progressive candidate,
and Free Trader Brockson, the Democratic candidate
We SHOULD advise him reject all suggestion that he
withdraw from the running. II is clear to everyone,
however, that with the National Progressyes refua-
ing to accept him their candidate in lieu of Col
JOHN G. Townsend that he cannot possibly be elected
it As equally clear that refusal 70 get of the TICKET
WOULD be attended by only one result-the election Of
Free Trader BrOckson AS we know him. Mr.. Hall
The people of State the humiliation and misforune
of having such a Mr.. Brockson sent to Washg
ineton. Neither do we think he would resent it if
the Republican State Committee should make such
oyertures
Therefore, as it is clear that Mr. Hall cannot
win and u is equally clear that the party and the
pabc interest demand candidate who win he
should permit his patriotism to rise superior to his
ambition and take up with the Republican State
Committee the question whether he should not resign.
Immediately favorable decision being reached,
that committee should reopen negotiations with the
State Committee OF the National Progressive party and
a winning candidate should be selected TO nh the va
