The Sept 7 1916 issue comments on hop field activity and rain relief while analyzing President Wilson’s eight hour law in the context of 1916 campaign rhetoric. It notes Democratic papers praising Wilson and Republican papers backing Hughes, with typical campaign publicity patterns.
Agricultural papers warn farmers against purchasing Euwe ka clover seed advertised to yield up to a hundred tons per acre. They describe it as more weed than clover and a difficult pest to eradicate once established.

The Graphic declines expert status yet endorses Cook’s sincerity over Peary, sympathizing with Cook and doubting public proof of his pole reach, while noting congressional efforts related to the matter.
An impartial inquiry into the Cook Peary controversy is stymied as Peary supporters hinder moves. The Portland drowning of A B Richardson, a Multnomah Club swimmer, underscores that good swimmers also drown, suggesting risk taking among capable divers.
A critique of telephone ubiquity contrasts it with post and telegram use and warns of social pressure from urgent calls. It notes hunting accidents deaths, and political meddling while defending newspaper independence and public notice of opinions amid brewery pressures.
The Oregonian argues for trimmed budgets across state county city and school administrations to lower taxes while noting state taxes average about 3 mills per year.

The piece argues public interest favors arbitration between railroads and workers, warns against nationwide chaos from strikes, and notes Oregon's political scene with Hughes facing Wilson and Republican prospects in the 1916 election. It mentions trainmen pay levels and party dynamics in Oregon.
An essay contrasts the danger of evening for the lonely youth in a great city with the comforting pull of home. It then shifts to a lesson from St Nicholas about seeds and weeds, noting how some plants delay sprouting yet persist, renewing each year until they finally flourish or cause trouble.
