JOKE ON BOTH "CHAPPIEs"
Some Particulars About Their English
Raiment With Which They Were
Not Acquainted.

It isn't exactly their swell brand of
golf. that entities them 10 be so de-
cidediy English in their apparel, but
they've a "fawncy" for the English
raiment just the same.
"How do you like my English cap,
old chap?" one of them asked.
sits a turtle, old dear, but 1t isn't
quite SO English as mine" the other
said. ~
"Oh, mine Is, quite"
mo, not nearly"
And so they compared caps But
when they looked at the names of the
makers it was discovered by the "de-
Gidedly English" follower that his cap
had been made in New York. The
other bore a London lakeland, Of
course, you understand, old chap, 1t
was quite 'lawf." ..z
And the funny feature Of 1t all is
that the New York cap was made to
appeal TO the English trade, while the
London cap was designed to catch. the
fancy Of the Yank.

Of our presidents came from poorer

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS

TINE chieftainship Of every great
Z nation still passed from father to
soE until the presidency of the United
States was created, when the first
free-for-all race and an even start foT
the highest prize was opened to the
sons Gf men regardless of the accidents
of birrh. In this fair test, new blood
has won every time with only two ex.
ception in a century and a quarter.
Even John Quincy Adams did not
win the race, but was outrun at the
polls by Andrew Jackson, the son of
an immigrant. Political parties hav-
ing disappeared in 1924, four men en-
tered the. contest and deadlocked the
electoral college, which left the house
of representatives to choose from
among the three highest candidates.
This eliminated the fourth man-Hen-
ry Clay-wflo aided in the election of
Adams and who received from th"
new president the appointment OF
secretary of state.
The only nOn-partiSan adnlnlSCra-
ton the country ever has had was not
q shining example of success. Uncom-
promising, alone, John Quincy Adams
stalked his solitary way, never once
turning to the right or to the left from
the strait and narrow path Of indepen-
dence. With no sense Of humor to re-
lieve his sense of self-righteousness, tC
light up his view Of his fellows or to
thaw his own icy virtues, it was i'm
possible for his supporters to feel any
enthusiasm for him.
John Quincy Adams led the simple
life in the White House. Getting up
at 5, he built his fire, read his daily
portion of the Bible and while the

Muscle Not Properly Applied.

Every day evidence appears that
the American male is physically more
powerful than his ancestors. The bur-
glars who entered an apartment on
Central Park West carried off not
merely the little valuables, but also a
safe weighing. 400 pounds. Two
thieves who operated in restaurant
in business hours abandoned the old
school method of snatching the money
from the till and took the cash regis
ter intact. Not week passes but
some" warehouse reports the theft of
dozen barrels of whisky each of which
weighs at least $50 pounds. School
Fairgrounds, the baseball fields and
the gymnasiums seem to have done
wonders for the biceps of our youth
in certain lines. But why is it, when
an effort is made to divert some of
this magnificent strength to common
place work, that an apparent disinte-
grafton of muscle ensues?-New York

Needs
Much Reforming
Says Macarthur

A material reduction In the per-
sonnel OF the lower house OF con-
gress, even at the expense Of the
Oregon delegation, was advocated
by. Congressman Macarthur in an
address before members Of the
Salem commercial club at lunch
con this noon.
The present organization Of 435
men is too wieldy for efficient
service and works toward the CEN
tralization Of power and respensi-
bility In the hands of a few men
to the detriment Of legislation
generally. Macarthur contends. An
organization Of 800 members with
better salaries and more liberal
provisions for clerical aid would
be productive Of better laws ana
better results, according to Nc
Arthur who. however, points out
that reduction in the size Of the
house Of representatives would in
all probability cost oregon one of
her three congressman.
|. Macarthur, however, does not
possess any strong hopes for a
downward revision in the number
of members in the lower house. In
fact he predicts that any change
| that is to follow the recent cens'us
will be toward an increase In the
present number rather than an in
crease in the basis Of representa-
| tion.
The Oregon legislature with 80
| members in the senate and SO in
the lower house, Macarthur declar-
ed to be a much better working
organization than the United
States congress. adding the hope
that the size Of the state organiza-
ton would never be increased.
A longer term for members OF
! the lower house of congress, was
also advocated by Macarthur who
declares the present two year term
! too short to permit Of the great
est working efficiency.
Responsible party government
with the president and congress
elected simultaneously, the exec
utive head and the Legislative
branches Of the same political
faith and working in harmony
| with each other ana the abolition
Of the short term of congress were
also advocated by Macarthur as
reforms which were bound to be
realized soonr or Iarer.
The budget system, now pending
before congress- and which will
probably be enacted into law at
the Forthcoming short session, Nc
Arthur declared. would cure many
Of the financial ills under which
the nation is now Iaboring. This
system, which centralizes. the ap-
portioning power of congress N
the hands Of committee OF 81
members instead of distributing II
| between seven committees as Al
present, will serve to eliminate

Tax On Fruit Juices
Unjust Declares Cox

That the tax imposed on fruit

that on syrups used in making
similar drinks, that he believes

The question is one Of consider

"If / remember correctly. the
tax is about As cents q gallon on
fruit juices. while the tax on cer-
tain syrups is only very few

obvious that this condition is un-
fair to the fruit men,"
A bill was at one time introduce

had for its purpose the abolition
or lowering, of the tax on fruit
juices. The bill passed the senate
but met with opposition in ths
house. AT a conference between
