THE government has given us four

but we intend TO give three weeks back
for Oklahoma wants Just seven DAYS to
subscribe its quota" J. II. Gordon Of
MeAlester, state chairman OF the loan
campaign, said today.
Some districts expect to get their
quota in n day" Mr.. Gordon said,
"Of cpurse we can't expect that much
everywhere bat we are fully prepared
for an intensive drive in every district
that will not continue more than a
week"
Mr. Gordon Is not going in strong
for $50 Liberty bonds.
II wish they hadn't put out any $50
bond, this time" he said. They are
all right, guess, for women or children
but with the terms that one can get.
there Is no reason why a man should
buy less than a 800 bond and any man
that is-making $50 a month ought to
buy from 500 to $500 worth"

THE MACHINE WON

L. j Simpson of Coos Bay was defeated in his race for
governor, but he made splendid fight and a showing Of
which anyone might well feel proud. Had he got in the
race a month earlier instead of at the last minute the
story might have been different the morning after cleo
ton. His campaign met with enthusiastic reception
everywhere and the element of tine was all he needed
to bring him in ahead of the string. AS it was he was but
a few thousand votes behind Olcott and had half the
vote given Withycombe. The latter had everything in his.
favor and his manager whoever he was surely did some
fine political work. Besides, the governor has been de-
voting most of his time since the last election in building
up a machine to re-elect him. He kuilt strong one, and
it carried hin through. His defense of Kerr, by his re-
fusal to expose him or to act in the interest of the state.
by refusing to grant him a 81 400 raise of salary, made
Kerr and his strong machine solid for him, its a~ppointees
as county agricultural agents whom the county courts
pay and Kerr appoints, missed no opportunity to work
as diligently at least for the reelection of the governor as
they did in the interest of the farmer. On top of all the
well circulated falsehood that the "boys in France wanted
him. had a great effect. No doubt some of the boys in
the trenches, favored Withycombe, just as the citizens at
home did, but there was no grear demand for his re-
election coming from them. 1t was a clever bit of political
trickery and it helped. 1t remains to be seen if he can
run the second heat as well.

SOME IGNORER ITSELF

"The campaign having come to a close and the war
news being stale, dull and Improbable, we find casual
diversion in the antics of the mad mullah of the Capital
Journal" So says the Oregonian and after quoting an
editorial from the Journal criticising il, it adds in con-
GLIDING its effort: "But the Salem writer is happiest
when he may deal only with his strange fancies and
vicious p~rejudices and ignore facts" The last sentence
coming from the editor of the Oregonian is the limit.
Ignoring facts is the special prerogative of the Ahkoond
of Swat, who reigns supreme under the big tower. An
example Of this is still fresh in tie rlbic mind when
after putting up a job to help President Kerr of the O. A.
C. get his salary increased 81, 400 a year, or at least being
responsible through its news colunns for the movement,
it suddenly became as silent as the tomb concerning the
matter when the camouflage was torn aside and the dirty
trickery exposed. 1t ignored this damning fact from the
time it was made public, and has never mentioned it since
that time nor has it answered charges that it was con-
nected with the scheme. The trouble with the leading
writer OF the Oregonian is that he has the autocratic
traits Of the kaiser, and the system Of terrorism employed
by the Huns, Of making itself feared by the balance of
the state press by ruthless, sneaking submarine tactics.
1t fires its torpedo and dives to hide under its own silence.
