The friend of Shortuan Milea, who
by some force of unfortunate rir
cumstances, took it iuto '.-.is !:od to
te a democrat, declare that he Is kj
big to be a winner; that fcr once,
at least, the deniccratic party v.'ill
have a legislative representative
from this county. That lie has u lot
of friends of all political shades In
this county goes without question.

Annual l-'leltl Day.
TOO Ml'CH AZZ.
B. F. Irvine, editor of the Oregon
Journal, delivering an address to the
rir.duating cUus of the O. A. C. at
Corvallls took occasion to Impress
the serious side of life upot the men
r.nd womon of the graduating class.
V.'c clip from the Corvallls tiaiette
Ttnies tho following extract from tlio
address:
"We are living la an age ot Jars, a
time "when w? want fuss, noise, slap
dash, slam crash and bang. We have
it in music, lu business, in dress, in
s'dtesmen, in t ie home, and every
where Is found its discordant, over
cumulating ry icopations. born of the
oriental and sivage and culminatln.
in the demand of the soapbox .orator
for the soviot jcvornment. We have
so much of it lu the beefsteak that
wc can't see tr.e steak, and though
i'ere isn't room fcr much of it in
woman's drsss there is more of it
Cue re than i-t .idmlbsable. Wo take
two layers ot paper and some waxed
thtead and n..ke a shoe selling at
$18 but It's 6 oboe and $12 Jan.
The Portland j.idge who grants the
most divorces tells me that r.lne
tcnths of tho difficulties Is Jail in the
home a matt- of mortgaging the
rlace to buy a 'llvver, or the home
swapped outrlgi-t for the Joy-wagon,
the following cf the bright lights
and the tango. Jazz In industrial life
bas brought tho tame results as in the
home life clau, discord, misunder
standing and failure. Instead of be
ing atuned to the grand sweet har
monies ot the fhilocophy ot the Man
if Galilee, and niovd by the Golden
Rule, Capital and Labor clash at each
other's throat and all thi world to in
doubt and , danger. And because
European statesmen were full of the
same sort of jazz forty millions ot
men were calle l to arms, France arid
Belgium were made charnal houses,
twenty nations were put on crutches.
"With young peo.id there Is an
other form of lazz perhaps more rep
rehensible thu'i any other, manifest
In the disposition to call father the
old man and mother the old lady,
while expecting tr-t father shall So
all the work, provide the money and
the auto, sit tight and bay nothing
while watching son and daughter per
form. "Yoong frle'ids, don't make that
mistake. Yoi don't know what Is In
the heart of f .therhood, don't know
that mother i0v: Is the one constant
light ever shining thrugh the black
est night. B'lt think, learn to think
rod know these thlncs. Honor the
father and the mother, support and
maintain them, love them, cheer
them, be guided by them, for it will
be only a llttl) while un.ll it will be
too late. Don t let Jazz keep you
from doing t".at now.
"Learn to thl.il: for yourself. If
;ou trust to the oulja board' you only
Indicate that you're a wooden head "
As a finale, Mr. frvlne waxed elo
quent In painting a word-picture ot
the masterpiece that he would give
the world if he were able to handle
the brush divinely a picture of a
home, vine-clad in the heart of a
lawn, on which played a laughing
child, as the father with a pall on his
arm, came up the. walk to be wel
comed by a loving wifo and mother.
"No Madona was ever painted with
high heeled shoes and a merry widow
hat, nor was ever a palace portrayed
in a masterpiece. Much rather it is
ever the simpler, the homelier, tho
sincere, 'the worthwhile that inspires
the masterpiece. Tako your career,"
he aald, but don't neglect to think
beyond yourself."
BEAl'TIKY I KK CITY PARK
The Mist Is pleased that the mayor
and council arc in favor ot making
of the city park a more attractive
place. The park, if properly main
tained, will be a great asset to St,
Helens. The St. Holens kiddloi and
tho grown ups, may go there to spend
a pleasant hour, and the stranger
within our gates may find a placo to
pitch hia tent and make himself at
home. ,
In the past month, the writer has
been In several towns on the Pacitlc
and Columbia highways, and each
town we have visited A making prep
aration to take cure ot the tourist
The tourist is our guest. He coms
to see the country and he frms an Im
pression. The impression should be
a favorable one and the tourist should
be friend of the locality In which
he Is courteously received.
St. Helens has much to gain
nothing to lose. Let's show the
tourist that we are up to date and let
us show our own people that they
are Interested In the town.
The Mist Is pleased at the selec
tion ot the candidates who will head
the national republican ticket.
'Harding Is a self made man. He
fought bis battles alone and fought
them well. His success In life Is
evidence of his greatness. No better
man than Coolidge could have been
selected as the running nite of
Harding. His performance- ot duty,
under the most trying conditions,
stand out as an exemplification of
Americanism. Harding and Coolidge
will have and will keep the confi
dence of the American people.
Out of all the guesses hazarded fn
the Mist last week nn the successful
nominee for president at Chicago,
Judge White was tne only one who
had the situation properly sized up.
He named Harding as the man who
would win.
Speaking of freak legislation and
Irs abolishment In the legislature al
ways brings a smile to the seasoned
prlltlcian. Thero ulways has becu
freak legislation, always will be so
luuc as legislatures exist, ltut now
(na then an embryo seeker after po

tuker his pin feathers for pluuihKc,
and in the end discovers that It t kes
romethlng more than a loose rttile

legislation.
