NOMINATE A PROGRESSIVE.

Eastern oregon should have a pro-
gressive congressman from this dis
trict and the republican nomination
should go to Jerry Rusk or N J. Sin
mott. They are both strong men and
tried and true progressives. Repub-
licans will not go wrong in nominat-
ing either one of these men.
George Cochran, who is bidding
for progressive votes, has been a pro-
gressive only since he was rooted out
o: the standpat corral by the entrance
of Jurge Ellis into that enclosure,
Until that time Cochran was the reg
ular reactionary candidate. He was
brought into the race by reactionaries
and had their general support. Coch-
ran is now holding an office he Sc
cured through a nassembly nomina-
ton. He is not a progressive any
more than painted mule is a zebra.

VOTE FOR WILSON.

Woodrow Wilson has the strong en-
dorsement of the progressive demo-
Gratis cf this state and throughout
the nation. Champ Clark, who is
making the strongest race against
him in Oregon, has formed an alli-
ance with Harmon, Underwood and
Hearst that should drive all progress
sive support from Clark's candidacy
Clark stands for the reactionary
crowd in his opposition to Wilson.
His campaign is backed chiefly by
"Gumshoe" Bill Stone, head of the
Missouri machine and the man who
fought Governor Folk. Clark can
never get the support of independ-
ent minded republicans who are 60
ing to swing the election this fall
Wilson can get that support IL Taft
l. the republican nominee. He al
ready has it. The people want a
tpresident who is OF the new school of
statesmen. not the old
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-04-18

want them to. The machine did not
want candidates to take the statement
two years ago. 1t prevented some
OF the candidates from subscribing to
the statement when they wanted to
dc so. There is ample evidence to
this effect.
The people should take no chances
with unpledged legislators. To send
unpledged men to Salem will leave
room for evasion of the popular will
in case the popular choice does not
happen to suit the legislators. 1t in
vites skullduggery and disorder.
The statement No. 1 candidates for
legislative nominations are those who
have subscribed to statement No. l.
Those who have refused to subscribe
are not entitled to the slogan and
they are not entitled to progressive
votes. Messrs Mann and Hinkle
have refused to pledge themselves
and their refusal in itself gives the
lie to their pretensions of friendship
for the principle
Mann and Hinkle should be defeat
ed. They are playing a double game
ard they are trying to serve little
bunch of machine politicians rather
than the people of the county as a
whole. If they cannot be defeated
now they should be defeated with
democrats in the fall election. There
are 10000 people in Umatilla county
and these people should have repre-
sentatives who will truly represent
their sentiments. They should not
send to Salem men who will be mere
dummies for the bosses and bosslets
who while deprived of their old time
glory still rule with secret sway and
play the old time game whenever
they get the chance.

IT is TINE FOR A CHANGE.

1t is squarely up to the republicans
of this county to clean house with
reference to the school superintend-
ehcy. It has been shown plainly
within the last week that F. K. Welles
is unsuited for the place he holds
He is not properly educated He has
nc strength as a superintendent and
does not carry the respect and esteem
of those with whom he deals. 1t has
been shown that he grabbed $500 in
travel pay in plain violation of the
purpose of the law. He tried to dodge
a just tax assessment only last sum-
mer. He is part and parcel of the
county superintendent brigade that
secured the establishment of the ru-
raj supervisor system on a basis that
means heavy expense and does little
good. 1t has been shown that Welles
is very shy on rendering service to
the schools and to the people but is
extremely clever in trying to add
feathers to his own nest.
1t is high time for new deal in the
superintendents office If the re-
publicans are wise they will nomi-
nate I. Z. Young who by education
and by disposition is better equip
ped for the place than is the present
incumbent.

Such claim is only a shifty evasion
on the part of these men. The law
referred to is not compulsory. No

more than an instruction.

One Substantially, all the candi-

Hinkle refuse to do so?
Why should Mr.. U'Ren now en-
dorse Hinkle's candidacy when he has
not subscribed to Statement No. One?

GEORGE T.COCHRhN HAS.
PROGRESSIVE PLEDGE.

Senator Robert NJ La Toilette,
father of progressive legislation, in
an address declared against stock
watering, the money trust and other
evils and endorsed presidential pri-
maries, and direct election of sena-
tors. George T. Cochran of La
Grande, water superintendent for
eastern Oregon and candidate for the
republican congressional nomination,
makes these the leading planks of his
platform. Yet democrats seeking to
defeat him charged that he is not
progressive. A ballot for George
Cochran is a ballot for clean govern
ment. Vote SO X Cochran. He is no
demagogue but wants constructive re-
form.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS cHAPrERs.


The Princess Rags and Tatters IS q dear LITTLE
girl who lives In a big dingy tenement with hei
queen mother The Princess real name Is Janej
Mcdonald. and the queen mother does laundry
work for a living. The Princess Is always tryins

seen. but about which she has imagined very
beautiful things. One day when she is lookinf
for this wonderful garden through the city streets
she stumbles upon q Kindergarten where lovely
lady named Miss Rose is In charge. The Princess
Rags and Tatters is welcomed by Miss Rose. and
her mother promises that she shall 80 every day

Soon after this the Princess becomes acquainted
with Charles Theodore Avery. q rich little boy
who has all the toys he wants. but isn't allowed
to play with other children He sees very little

great sport for sunny summer afternoons
and will afford good chance to show
ones skill with a hockey stick.
Another good out-of-door game that is
somewhat similar to this is Clock
Croquet. 1t is played with croquet NAL
lets, balls and wickets. The same rules
that apply to croquet may be used in
Clock Croquet, but the arrangement of
the game with posts and wickets makes a
change from the old game and is inter-
esting to play as a variation of that.
Arrange a circle as for Clock Golf
only let the circle be about twenty five
feet or thirty feet instead of twenty.
Place twelve wickets at equal intervals
around the circumference of the circle so
that they face outward like the hoops of
garden border, only further apart.
Tie one of the numbered red cardboard
idisks-numbered on both sides-to the
top of the wicket with string or tape. The
numbers must, of course, come in right
order as they would in a clock face.
Place the post in the centre OF the
circle-either post will answer. Only one
is used.
Players start from the post and make
each wicket in turn, as they are able,
always making a new wicket from the
inside of the circle, never from the out
side.
The game may be played in turn as
croquet is, with or without partners. The
first two to finish making the circle of
wickets first win the game.
In finishing it is always, as in croquet
necessary to strike the post before going
out as winner.
The game may be played as a kind of
outdoor solitaire to see in how few strokes
one can make the circle.
Still another clock game that may be
played out of doors is Clock Bean Bag.
For this the circle is twelve or fifteen
feet round. Small boxes, preferably of
wood, are placed around the circle as
were the wickets in Clock Croquet
Each person is given a different col
ored bean bag to play with and play begins
simultaneously, the two players standing
side by side at the centre of the circle.
The object of the game is to see which
player can throw his bag into each box,
in turn, and most quickly finish the cir
cult. After each throw he must return. to
the centre of the circle and begin again.
OF course he does not progress except as
he really throws his bag into the right
numbered box.

Crocheting Dolly's Clothes a Pleas
ant Occupation for the Veranda.

| Girls who are fond of dolls are this
Ieason crochetting collars and muffs
which Miss Dolly may wear in the
autumn. These sets are warm and ser
viceable for everyday wear and can
easily be made by girls who know simple
crochet stitches. Gray wool, with pink
or blue border, makes a useful and be-
coming tippet and muff, while white with
edgings of a light color looks well with
evening or afternoon frocks.
The materials required for an average
sized doll are one crochet hook for double
fold wool, one skein of white double fold
yarn and one of the split in pink or blue
for the edging. The stole or neck piece
takes longer to make, so it is well to be-
gin with that.
Make a chain Of ten stitches, then add
two more, throw the yarn over the hook,
put it through the ninth chain stitch,
take up loop and draw the hook back.
slipping off two stitches, and then the
iother two. This is a simple double GRO
chet stitch and is the one used entirely
in making the muff and tippet here de-
scribed. In each of the eight chain
stitches remaining crochet a similar stitch.
and when the last one is made crochet
two chain stitches, which are substituted
for the chain in the first stitch on turning
to cross the other way. If double stitch
were crocheted in the first hole the scarf
would widen each time across. In crochet
ing the second row slip the hook in the
back of the stitch at the top of the row
each time to leave a ridge across the right
side of the tippet. Keep the strip even
and fat and make about thirty rows for
q medium sized doll.
When all the white part of the tippet
has been crocheted break off the wool and
knot the white or pink split yarn at one
corner on the right side and begin to
crochet the edge in this way. This is the
simplest stitch Of all after the chain.
Slip the hook through the upper edges of
the scarf and take up a stitch Of the bor-
der yarn. draw it through to the right

Outdoor Clock Games---How II
Make and PLav Them.

r HE boy or girl who is fond of out-of.
door sports will be glad to know of an
interesting new game that may be
played in the open air almost anywhere.
One easy game to arrange is called Clock
Coli, and it is played either with golf or
hockey sticks.
To make the course" a circle some
twenty feet in diameter should be outlined
upon the space Of ground selected. The
ground may be smooth or rolling. 1t may
be a meadow or a lawn or even a back
yard.
Any>number of players may play Clock
Golf, but where more than three use the
course at the same time it is better to
play a game of turns" than an indepen-
dent one. The object of the game is to
see how few strokes will carry ones ball
around the circle and into each success
sive numbered hole in its right order.
The one to make the fewest strokes, hav-
ing successfully made the round of the
twelve holes from the teeing ground in
the centre of the circle, wins the game.
To arrange the course" for Clock Golf
take a wooden peg and tie to it a piece
Of string ten feet long. Press the peg into
the soft earth and use the string as a
radius with which to measure your
circle.
Mark out the circle with white paint:
You can easily find this and the circle is
easily drawn by tying the free end of the
string to the paint brush.
Next, mark off twelve holes upon the
circumference of the circle. Make small
scooped-out holes at equal distances
around it and pat the earth down at the
edges.
After this, invest in sheet of bright
red cardboard that is thick. Using a
small saucer to guide you, draw twelve
small circles the size of the saucer upon
the cardboard.
Cut the circles out with scissors and
number each one with Roman numeral
in the order of the numbers upon the
face of clock. Place these, when fin
ished, in order, each in a hole made on
your course"
In the centre of your Clock Golf game
you will need to make a small mound of
sand for starting place or teeing ground.
This completes the game.
The numbered cardboard disks may be
brought under cover when the game isl
not in use and thus protected from the
damp and rain.
A tournament of Clock Golf win be
