It is now proposed to amend the Constitution of this state so that pro vision may be made by law to re quire every person entitled to Tote, to register and vote at all elections. This proposed amendment will be the first one on the ballot this (all. 8oon be so a man cannot stay at home. If this amendment carries we would like to write the legislative act making It effective. The meas ure has tied to it a clause for voting by mail "in case ot absence from the Toting precinct during the entire day," sickness or service In the army or navy. The fool-killer has been kafing. Rankest partisanship is the ruling passion with Portland papers. The Old Lady" Is for Harding because Cox is a democrat; the Journal is tor Cox because Harding is a repub lican; the Telegram Is for Harding because the Journal is supporting Cox. The Telegram and the "Old Lady" find common ground for once but for different reasons. Mr. Cox may never be president if these United States ot America, but he will have a better taste in his mouth after the campaign for having saved himself from the influence of Hearst and his crowd ot German sympathizers. If Cox is a man, he does not count the support ot Hearst. Democrats and Republicans com plain because, as they claim they do not know where the candidates "are t" from their speeches. If people want to vote for a man they can find and tell where be is, they can vote for Debs. Why is it that Portland daily pa pers do not list the Oregon Inter state Fair anfohg the coming events? Every other fair in Oregon and In 'Washington find a place in their list, but not the 'bigger and- better than ever." - ' According to the Portland Tele El am J. A. Mays, of Prineville, top ped the cattle market last Saturday with thirty head of fancy cows, sel ling at eight cents. You can't get away from it. Debs says Russia has the only real democratic government in the world today. It seems to us like a doubt ful brand of democracy when it has been enforced with rifles and cannon. Klamath Falls has decided that wheels of fortune are not. necessary to the success of a fair, and has therefore banned them. Is Prineville next on the list. If not why not? Do not forget that the fair is only a few weeks off. Now is a good time to make sure on your farm exhibit. Beware the tongue of scandal. It wags unceasingly to tear down the reputations of men and women. A Story starts. Sometimes it is launch ed maliciously intending to do some one an injury. Business pique or poltical revenge or enmity of one kind or another often actuates the damaging story which has no basis iu fact. But as the story is bandied from one tongue to another, rolled sedulously on some tongues by the way, it becomes fact in the minds ot those who hear the tale. Thus reputations are sometimes torn down. Oftener than not, how ever, such tales die quickly for the above suspicion and their deeds show the manner of men and women they are. Then the originators of the canards are proved unreliable and perchance they receive the injury which they sought to do innocent persons. Be charitable towards other peo ple, is a mighty good rule to follow. Don't take stories too seriously. We In the newspaper game know that two thirds of the storieB we set out tj get are rumors without any foun dation. The scandal story which seeks to tear down reputation is seldom cor rect. When It is correct almost in variably there are extenuating cir I ! Weekly Sermons j THE TONGUE OF 8 A.NDAL cutnstances. But as we ssy, usually the whole thing is bundle of men dacious lies. ' The next time you hear such a i tale, before passing It on, find out whether the fellow who relates th damaging gossip knows what he Is miking about. Find out it he will vouch for It. Find out if he is Just passing Vt on from some fellow who wasn't sure but he thought so; and so and so had told him and it ought to be true. A reputation is a sacred thing auJ unless you know that the story is r rrect, you shouldn't pass the tale along. Sometime In their lives men and women who do worth-while things have to face this scandal talk. Bu' that doesn't excuse you tor peddling it How vile is a lying story about good men and women, started be cause ot disgruntlement or pique or malice. And how low is a person who sends such a story on its way. A good self-respectiug catapillar is a fine snimal . in comparison. The Dalles Chronicle FORESTRY LESS NEWS NOTES ESS Mr. Harpam returned Saturday ev ening after having spent most ot the week in the Snow Mountain district near Burns. Ranger E. W. (Sigh) Donnolly Is In charge ot this unit of th6 Ochoco National Forest and de monstrated his usefulness and origin ality just after the recent severe el ectrical storm. This storm set eleven fires which started almost simultan eously and which were scattered over his entire district comprising some thing like 400,000 acres. Incident ally, a bolt of lightening struck the Forest Service telephone line only short distance from the Snow Moun tain Lookout cabin and was warm enough to burn a section out of the wire. It also burned out some of the essential parts ot the telephone at the lookout station and left Ran ger Donnelly In a rather emBarrasing position with only one man in sight as helper to extinguish the eleven fires smoking up before him. Since, however, he was able to call tne Supervisor's office at Prineville aud explain his predicament he proceed ed to handle the fires by himself with what assistance he could secure from grazing permittees. In this undertaking he succeeded admirably and within three or four days Unto the entire number of fires were un der control and had cost less than $50.00 to extinguish them. This Is not all: Mr. Donnelly remembered that some years ago he operated more or less successfully one Henry Ford car and that when he sold or gave away this parcel of tinware that he reserved for possible future emer gencies, one of the ignition .coils. He proceeded to find the old coil and took it to Snow Mountain lookout, where wtth screw driver, hammer etc he dissected the instrument, instal led the old Ford coil and now has the instrument working about 150 per cent efficient. The Ochoco National Forest has experienced more fires to date thau it has had to contend with for sev eral years. To date there have been about sixty fires, none of which have reached any serious proportions due very largely to the alertness of the field force in general. The tele phones, trails and road systems are improving each season and the field men are keeping in much closer touch with each other than has been the case in the past; also every man is ready with knapsack, containing two or three days rations, canteen. etc., go that within a few minutes after a fire is reported there will be someone to give it attention very shortly. We do not concede, there fore the fact that the' few bad fires which heave been experienced this season is entirely the result of luck. On Friday night August 20th a pe destrian passing from Mitchell to Prineville became weary at about 11 p.m. and made a camp fire by the road gide which was not totally ex tinguished the next morning when h3 left it. Later in the day an em ployee of the forest service chanced to see smoke coming from a camp site and after very careful investiga tion Acting District Ranger Lee Ba vins was convinced that he might ov ertake the guilty party if he followed down the road toward Prineville, which he did. Within a few miles he came upon the weary pedestrian and after taking him back to the place where the night had been spent tramping around the fire In i.ti oFort to keep warm, the man admit ted that he was responsible for the unextinguished blaze whereupon Mr Klevins brought him to Prineville, took him before Justice of the Peace Bowman, who imposed the minimum fine for not totally extinguishing a camp fire as provided in Section 9 o the Oregon State Fire Laws.

Chicago Herald anil Examiner. Giving Her Fair Warning. John had .lust been reprimanded by his mother fur something he had done, when he went Into the bedroom where his new little baby sister was lying in her crib. His mother overheard him say : "Sister, you ought to go back where you came from ; you can't do anything yon want to do here." When Swallows Fly tow. It Is a sli'i of rain when swallows fly low.
