shoulder burdens and carry them to the end which in

We saved food for our soldiers for our allies for the

food in home kitchens, but raised it in home
gardens We did the hard work of shipping and dstrib

Through representatives we voted for the draft,
for the fair and equitable taking of boys for the
fighting We raised untold amounts of money In bonds

THE PLEDGE KEEPERS.

It was dark hour for Russia when her army trust
ing to Prussian promises dsbanded and er traitorous
representatives signed the infamous treaty of Brest
Ltovsk In that hour the allies through President Will
informed the Russian people that they would not be
forsakenthat the allies still held Russias interests as
their own, despite her seeming treachery.
1t was also dark hour for Rumania when left help
less by the Russian desertion and battered by an
wheming German army she yielded to the inevitable and
surrendered through the treaty of Bucharest The al
lies pledged themselves to redeem her.
The time of redemption came. The allies have the
abrogaton of those wicked treaties and the liberation of
Russia and Rumana indispensable conditions Of the
German armistce. Russia and Rumania win along with
the rest of us through Foch victories on the western
front 1t is triumph of honor, vndication of truth
and loyalty The allies in success as in failure prove
themselves keepers of their word.

estly in every way, he is an example
for the young and old of our state tC
emulate.
Senator LaFollett mas tried to arouse
| the people to prevent the passage Of
measures inimical to their interests.
The farmers and all classes of oul
! citizens owe him debt OF gratitude
that it is impossible to repay.
To stand between the grafters and
those who have to foot the bills re.
Iauires more courage than most men and
women possess.
| Senator LaFollett fully understands
the struggle many of our citizens have
to encounter to pay their annual taxes
He has come up from the ranks OF those
who have had to toll for an existence
He is now progressive, enterprislng
farmer and fruit-grower. 1t was not al
wavs thus with him. His has been o
life of toll and selfdenial. From the
lowest round of the ladder he has be-
come one of. the leading men OF the
state.a From small beginnings, through
self.restraint, economy, thrift and in
dutry, he has acquired a moderate com
petence.. His four sons, following in
the footsteps of their father with the
same traits of character, have prosper
ed as farmers and fruit growers. They
are substantial citizens of Oregon.
Senator LaFollett, with spirit akin
to that of our beloved and martyrcd
president, Abraham Lincoln, will, Ill
the coming session of the legislature,
render an account of himself that Will
meet the appreciation of his constitu-
ents who remember what he has done
in the past for their welfare. The graz
ters and those who wish to pilfer fron
the treasury of the county and state
will not be aided by him. Those who
favor the least taxes to be levied con-
sistent with good government, will be
pleased with his course.
Now is the time we need legislators
of the honesty and integrity of Senator
LaFollett, to stand as a stonewall again
st those who would increase the taxes
in our county and state.
Honest and true, loyal to the trust
raposed in him, with high ideals OF
public affairs, Senator LaFollett can be
depended upon to assist in the passage
of laws with an eye single to the public
good.
You win notice that the stone which
the BUILDERS rejected has beconr
the chief one in our body polite. The
name IS Senator LaFollett
We owe much to our senator. Ihe
voters will not be disappointed in his
acts. Without any friends to reward or
enemies to punish, actuated by the best
of motives, he will be an ideal senator.
Elected as an independent lawmaker,
he will not be controlled by any power
on earth when he thinks he is in the
right. His sole object will be to secure
proper and remedial legislation.
We need more persons in "ublic life
Of the stamp and character of Senator
LaFollett, who regards an office as a
public trust. All honor to our new sem
ator.
We congratulate the citizens Of M"~
ion county on their splendid Judgement
and their clear discrimination in elect
ing Senator LaFollett, friend of the
people, at this perilous period, to rep
resent them.
He will still be recognized as the
champion of the peoples rights and
man who has never betrayed the con-
fidenee placed in him.

small income, neither of them knowing
how.
"In stay away from Mollie this
time,'' he said aloud as he looked at
Ruth s picture on the bureau as he pre-
pared for bed. Then: "No, won't
either! What S the use lying to my
selfl A fellows got to do something
besides sitting home and sucking his
thumbs,'' but he could not go to sleep
as quickly as usual. And he FLUSHED in
the dark as he once more recalled the
confession he had made to Mollie.
Mollie had really been totally deeei-
we'd by Brian. Not Intentionally, had he
conveyed the impression that he was
tired of Ruth; that he was unhappy
with her. But Mollie had gained the
impression that he WAS desperately
miserable; that he did not love Ruth,
and that he did care for her. Why else
should he talk to her as he didl Why
seek her society so frequentlys And he
told her all the little, intimate things
man scarcely eonfides unless he cares.
Could Brian have known the impress
sion he had conveyed, he would have
fslt more guilty than he did. But to
him Mollie was sort of safety valve.
She was such good fellow, so sympa-
thetic and nice TO a fellow when he was
down in the dumps, and a fellow really
needed someone to unload his troubles
on once in a while. Then, Mollie always
had such good time, and she was pref
ty, too. One never felt ashamed of her,
even if she didn't have the stvle and
wear the handsome clothes that Ruth
did. 1t was rather fun, too. to make the
Village fellows Jealous, especially
Claude Becky who would like to mono
poize Mollie. He had it in for Claude,
anyway. He had been pretty fresh to
call another man wife by her first
nanp without he. permission. ''Darn

thought Of the night Becky called her
Ruth without even an apology for doing
So
Becky had more than once butted
in, when Brian and Mollie were dining.
It had annoyed Brian, annoyed him ter
ribly. He didn't take Mollie or any
other girl out to dinner to talk to some
other man, but because he himself want
ed to be entertained. He might as we'll

only went out because he was lonely,

Mollie. But, as he had said, it was in

He had not been quite loyal to Ruth;

PEMBERTON FOR
MAJORITY RULE

The Supreme Court consists of
nine judges. In hearing case they
divide into two departments, con-
sisting of the Chief Justice and four
other judges, making five Judges in
each Department The majority Of
department is therefore able under
the present plan to decide cases,
even though the constitution says
that a majority Of the court is neces-
sary to pronounce a decision. 1t often
occurs that the judges in a depart
ment do not agree as to what the
law is, standing two to three and
one to four. The judges have the
right to permit the whole court to
pass upon questions where this con-
dition arises, but they often refuse
to do so and permit one-third of
the Judges to decide cases instead of
a majority.
We are fighting to make the world
safe for democracy, which means the
rule by majority. Why should we
permit the minority in our own in
situations and especially in our own
Supreme Court, which has more pow
er than all or any of the other
public officials of the State?
Judge William H. Pemberton be-
lieves in the majority rule and he
has been nominated for Judge of the
Supreme Court for the siX-year term.
Vote for him and do away with the
rule by the minority.
